Does this count as self-medicating?

**Back posted from Myspace, which is no-more.

I have not been able to stop singing all day.

I've been fairly gloomy all week, ranging in intensity from mildly sad to crying on my way home from work last night (yeah, you feel sorry for me, I know). There are a few different reasons - none of them really the point of this little post.

For the past week I've been listening to nothing but the soundtrack to Across the Universe (seriously, if you haven't already, go see this movie. Take me with you - I'll go again). It's so very very good - I finally understand why people like the Beatles so much. All it took was a female voice or two to sing their songs.

Anyway, there's no music playing here at work. I answer phones, so we can't have any. That doesn't stop me from sining. I've sung Beatles songs, commercials, Kelly Clarkson songs... you name it. It's gotten so bad today that every time I start to sing (or even whistle) my coworker starts singing Blame It On The Rain to combat me.

But I'm more cheerful today than I've been all week. So I think it worked, not that it was my intent. I think I used singing to self-medicate and make myself cheeful. I'm very excited to get to my car, where I can sing as loudly as I want. Ten more minutes!

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.
