Fly Away Home
There's been a lot of nostalgia to hit me lately... been meaning to put this up but couldn't decide how to do it. When I was reading it off of Amanda's journal... the songs hit me each time. And the characters. But Lauren did such a good job at highlighting all of that that I can't just copy her stuff. So go here to see her clips of stuff and I'll just add other random stuff.. yeah.
