So, how would you transcribe this melody?

So, I have this bit of music that I've been trying to transcribe for a while now, and I've had no luck getting it to come out right. Here it is, hummed by me:

How would you transcribe this melody? Thanks.

Didn't listen, (I'm feeling lazy ATM), but I've noticed when I try to make up a tune that way I have problems getting it into written form too.  That's because your natural inclination of intervals between notes doesn't actually match the common scale, it's more often a scale with ten notes instead of seven or something.  When transcribing it, worry less about getting it exact and try to get things mostly right and worry more about keeping the feel you liked about it.  You've still got this file, so feel free to experiment a little as you try to put it into a normal form.  If you don't like it you can always try again or go back to the original.

Unfortunately, doing things myself has yielded little results. I can get the pitches of the notes roughly right, but their lengths seem to elude me. I'm asking others to help precisely because I can't figure it out on my own.
