"Baggy Trousers" by Madness is my favorite song."

"Lee Spencer as Glen"

"[writing a poem dedicated to Eliza] In my dreams, I am holding you tight, You are all I ever wanted, Such a magical sight, I feel a buzz of electricity from my feet to fingertips, When I try to imagine, kissing your beautiful lips, A flash of lightning in a midnight storm, gust of wind that lifts me off my feet, a summer ray that radiates heat, every minute I'm with you feels divine and makes you wish you could be mine."
