    +Hairyhands "Some responders do not indicate who they are addressing to." You should have written 'Some responders do not indicate who they are addressing.' What I meant was that I didn't know who some responders were addressing to with their comments. Like in the phrases: "The book is addressed to the general reader". or "Any questions should be addressed to your professor." "I have a problem with 'some' of the replies here." There is only one reply above yours, 'some' in this context would refer to more than one but still limited in quantity. There was only one reply above mine, but I was referring to yours and to others I have seen. And this is not the first time I make that sort of remark. It is an ongoing problem in these discussions. Perhaps your own application of the English language would explain why you find American English more attractive. I did not say I find AmE more attractive than BrE. Just the opposite. I said that it was the first time I met two equally educated English speakers, an American and a British, and the American English of that particular individual, in that particular occasion, sounded more attractive to me than the British bloke's English. This is not the first time experts in the English language correct me here on YT. Some of them have cut deep, but yours was the most unkindest cut of all. If you have new corrections, sir, they will be very welcome.

    I met you in the dark You lit me up You made me feel as though I was enough We danced the night away We drank too much I held your hair back when you were throwing up Then you smiled over your shoulder For a minute, I was stone cold sober I pulled you closer to my chest And you asked me to stay over I said, I already told ya I think that you should get some rest I knew I loved you then But you'd never know Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go I know I needed you But I never showed But I wanna stay with you Until we're grey and old Just say you won't let go Just say you won't let go I wake you up with some breakfast in bed I'll bring you coffee With a kiss on your head And I'll take the kids to school Wave them goodbye And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night When you looked over your shoulder For a minute, I forget that I'm older I wanna dance with you right now, oh And you look as beautiful as ever And I swear that everyday you'll get better You make me feel this way somehow I'm so in love with you And I hope you know Darling your love is more than worth its weight in gold We've come so far my dear Look how we've grown And I wanna stay with you Until we're grey and old Just say you won't let go Just say you won't let go I wanna live with you Even when we're ghosts Cause you were always there for me When I needed you most I'm gonna love you till My lungs give out I promise till death we part Like in our vows So I wrote this song for you Now everybody knows That it's just you and me Until we're grey and old Just say you won't let go Just say you won't let go Just say you won't let go Oh, just say you won't let go

    That guy who was staring at his mobile phone all the time, really pissed me of. The first thing he did was to take a picture of Zachary Quinto. After that he paid his attention almost the whole time to his mobile phone. I find that kind of behaviour irritating, rude and disgusting. Oh and yes, at one point he even picks his nose. 19:15

    As you known, a friend who is by your side when you are in trouble is a real friend, and a politician who can endure a tough period until the end is a real politician.

    Coming out in the industry is certainly not for everyone. Ellen Page before coming out was a rising star. Her acting career was immediately ruined after coming out, can't get a single role in mainstream movie or TV series afterwards. Entertainment industry is not as easy for gay actors or actresses as many people think that is.

    Always listen to your heart. Because even though It's on your left side : it's always right. Thirty minutes in the tongue stays 30 years in the heart. Though it is I that control the tongue, It is words from my tongue that controls me. A word of mine can change someone's life. Good relationships make good news. There's a scent between the loved ones. The greatest misfortune of all tragedies is that they were happy in olden days. One of the greatest tragedies of all time was that they were happy once. Is it your proposal? Hug me everyday, kiss me everyday, hold hands everyday and love everyday Tell me.

    Your mistakes are all my fault. That's for sure. I really should apologize. I still don't understand this enormous flow. I want you to be a good son to your mother, be a good brother to your brother, be a lovely and caring good lover, and you are a great actor in the work. Because I want you to be a wise and righteous person. I want to be an active person, so I want to cheer you up and be supportive of you, but I feel overwhelmed. I would like to protect your love, friendship, and privacy, but I feel frustrated because the wrong way once again has been wrong. Photographs don't represent the entire relationship with a human. That doesn't determine you. When I'm frustrated. Lee Sung is collapsing. I worry more about you than myself. This is funny. Because you're much better than me. But holding your hand, I want to say, ' You are not alone. ' I love you.

    I wrote a word of the word. 'listen' I didn't realize that Beyonce's song lyrics were meant to imply that. I mean, hear.. The sound of one's mind. What is love? Why do you want to marry? Why should we call each other's names? I guess I'm not paying attention to you. It's natural to correct the wrong thing. An estranged lover. If you don't love anyone, it doesn't matter if you're single.
