[QUOTE=lee]  
I just found out that someone is accusing me of using **KellyM** ’s real life name as an alias, and I find that rather disturbing. I don’t even like people around me to share my first name, as silly as that is. I’m me and I don’t pretend to be anyone else. I always use screen names close to my real life name. I also think it patently unfair that if I am her that I don’t get to be tall and thin.  
[/QUOTE]

I was using ‘lee’ here before you were.  
Please change your name immediately! 😛

I’m me, and you’re you  
I like green, you like blue  
I use tape, you use glue  
I stayed short, and you grew  
It doesn’t matter what we do  
'Cause I’m still me, and you’re still you

I’m me, and you’re you  
I say baaa, you say moo  
I eat soup, you eat stew  
I say ahhh, you say choo  
It doesn’t matter what we do  
'Cause I’m still me, and you’re still you

I said yay! You said boo!  
I like to dream, you like it too.

You’re you, and I’m me  
You like the sand, I love the sea  
It doesn’t matter, and here’s why  
'Cause you can build your castle  
And I can sail my boat  
And we’ll meet each other in the sky.
