    Mines from a Ben Folds song "There's Always Someone Cooler Than You". Its in my top five songs of all time and i think they're just nice optimistic words. The smilie ads some extra zest to the equation!

    My sig is fluid. Changes too often to be significant.

    No it's not the same song. It's by Edith Piaf though. "Tu es partout" is the song in the movie.

    Available on MPthree somewhere I'm sure. ;)

    Mine is a few linkies (Bloodninja, My Blog, Audioscrobbler, something stupid someone said on some forum about nerds, an amusing vg Cats comic strip about pacman)), a thing about the Dublin Fringe Festival which I really should remove as it ended on Sunday...A conversation between me and my friend Kevin (Hugh Hefner on boards), A link to get people to suppoert the secondary schools forum and the Lubnip and Dr. Demento logos.


    It usually contains pimpage of a show I'm in too. (must update it actually...)

    Mine's from Macbeth, as spoken by Banquo. It basically means: "Have we all gone mad?!"

    And I made the Lost pic for the start of the second season (everyone copied me!.) Must change it to something else.

    Mine is a quote from Anna Sewell, who wrote "Black Beauty". It's basically about how we should be considerate towards animals and look at things from their point of view, because they cannot tell us how they feel, and they suffer the same as we do.
