mailin 0 #1 December 7, 2004 I love that song. I love the smashing pumpkins. I sing it outloud for everyone to hear when I'm super excited. I've sung it once before today. The day I got into conservatory - I was walking around my university campus screaming this at the top of my lungs. I had previously been rejected, and after practicing my butt off for months, I got in! Today, I'm singing this again. Today I got a 'yes'. I've been trying and trying and trying to do my AFF training for 16 months now - and today Skydive Sebastian told me 'yes'. So in a little under a month I'll be enjoying FL sun and doing my 20 or so jumps and other training to get my A. Quote Today is the greatest Day I've ever known Can't live for tomorrow, Tomorrow's much too long I'll burn my eyes out Before I get out I wanted more Than life could ever grant me Bored by the chore Of saving face Today is the greatest Day I've ever known Can't wait for tomorrow I might not have that long I'll tear my heart out Before I get out Pink ribbon scars That never forget I tried so hard To cleanse these regrets My angel wings Were bruised and restrained My belly stings Today is Today is Today is The greatest day I want to turn you on I want to turn you on I want to turn you on I want to turn you Today is the greatest Today is the greatest day Today is the greatest day That I have ever really known *ok, I think I can stop jumping up and down now * JenArianna Frances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
