I'm great at being angry on behalf of other people. I am happy to let forth my righteous fury and Get Shit Done Right. Not always for myself though.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Every turkey I've prepared got named Fred and I made it dance.
I'm not a very angry person. When I do go there, it's very very cold. I can usually identify the sources of the emotion in me, and react accordingly. I guess I'm good at using my words? In any case, I'm generally conflict avoidant, and am either going to sift to the source of the issue (and defuse, if it is from someone else) or remove myself from the situation, if I give a shit. Sometimes, I don't give a shit. I don't like being around mean aimed to hurt. That, I can't abide and it will not be forgotten.

I should amend: mean TO. I'm good about being mean ABOUT...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am completely earwormed with "Copacabana" now. Thanks, Erin.
(Although it's better than the McDonald's Filet O Fish commercial that's been stuck in my head for weeks now.)

Because books.
In sixth grade, before I knew what "cool" was, I used to listen to my mom's Barry Manilow albums all. the. time. I sort of them miss them sometimes, to be honest.

At the Copa!
It's my go-to karaoke song. My mom luuuuurved Barry Manilow, and I knew all the words to all the songs.

I love Copacabana! It's on my swim mix.
Noah and I just had a fight. I sent him to bed without speaking to him. That lasted for 20 minutes. Then I crawled in his top bunk and told him that I don't like when he lies because it means he doesn't trust me and I can't trust him. Then I made him laugh and now all is okay again.
I feel stormy today.

It was stormy in my head all day today.
I wish I could find the medley with all of his commercial jingles. That was one of my favorite things.

Oh, I'd say you're pretty well committed...
