And so we conclude another month and another month-long art challenge. Sure was fun while it lasted.
Journey may be known best for their song "Don't Stop Believin'," but I'm partial to their second-most-famous song. If I had to pick a song to summarize my couples, particularly Mason Wiles and Cecily Byrnes, this would be their song all over.
Holy cow, we've reached the next-to-last entry already. Time really does fly when you're having fun, doesn't it?
It was a little hard to pick a Josh Groban song, but I'm quite happy with my final choice. Picture looks pretty good, too.
Not my finest work, but it meets the quota.
And, as everybody knows, love isn't just sunshine and rainbows and fluttering hearts. More often than not, it's pure, unadulterated pain.
I have a quote in one of my stories that says, roughly, "Amazing how the very thing that holds the power to make you feel so good holds the same power to make you feel so bad."
I really like the group ABBA. They have many famous, fantastic songs, but I decided to do one of their slightly lesser-known songs for this challenge.
While I believe in trusting teenagers to choose for themselves, I also believe in certain rules for their own good. And I'm a big believer in not letting a young girl go out by herself with an older boy, and vice versa.
At least in this song, the "older boy" appears to show some respect for the little girl fawning over him, because he tells her, "You're only a child," as well as "take it easy" and "better slow down." And, of course, there's the question that makes up the very title.
In this case, the mother most definitely knows now. You are so grounded, little lady.

I had to do at least one Weird Al song, and this is how I personally feel about TV nowadays.
Whenever I want to watch something, I usually pop in a DVD or resort to YouTube or Amazon Prime. Pretty much the only thing I'll watch on the TV itself is the news.
I came upon this song a few years ago, almost by accident. I first heard it in an impressive fan-made video of Ariel and Eric from Disney's The Little Mermaid, and I liked the song so much that I just had to buy a digital copy.
Don't worry, the girl will survive. But I'm sure you've all experienced some form of hyperventilation or total blockage of air, that brief but intense moment of sheer terror of not being able to breathe in or out. I sure have.
Don't worry, they're still alive, even if they're both frozen solid. Just another little literal gag I went along with.
"I Want to Know What Love Is" may be my top favorite Foreigner song, but "Cold as Ice" is a pretty close number two. Fits several of my own characters to a tee.
A very happy birthday to my mom, Carolyn Dahl Mather. Hope you had a great day, Mom. We all love you and appreciate you more than words can ...
