Music Meme

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post a line or two from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own

1) I bow my head to confess / The temple walls are made of flesh

2) We linger alone / Bodies confused / Memories misused

3) What would you do / If the whole world turned its back on you?

4) and the grand facade, so soon will burn / without a noise, without my pride

5) To get your prescription filled / I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy

6) Falls from my obsessions, you’re the last to know / You’ve arrived, arrived to my confession

7) We've got a long, long way to run, / The moon is up, / Tonight, I am coming home

8) I'll be a diode, cathode, electrode / Overload, generator, oscillator

9) If you don’t rate / Just overcompensate / At least you know you can always go on Rikki Lake

10) From the day me born Jah ignite me flame gal / A call me name and it’s me fame

11) Old woman, upon your hand I see a death's-head ring. / Old woman, it's our winter, and we'll never see a spring.

12) I’m counting on you, Lord / Please don’t let me down / Prove that you love me

13) Everybody says its nice / Can I can and come and visit? / I’ll be at your house tonight

14) Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum / And we wound up drinking all night

15) You’ve got quite an appetite / For being wronged and in the right

16) Tease a little more / Easy operator come a knockin' on my door

17) Cynthia wore the prettiest dress / With different color socks

18) And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you / Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to…

19) As you search for your demi-god / And you fake with a saint

20) Currents breed tiny monsters / True sailing is dead


Ok, these did not come off an mp3 player, they came off Yahoo!'s streaming radio. Which has no shuffle - I just fast-forwarded through the songs.

My musical taste is not obscure enough for this meme, at least my musical taste as reflected by Yahoo's streaming radio. Most of these are no-brainers, but have fun with it if you want.

Happy Meme

I got tagged for this thing... honestly, I can't do it because nothing ever makes me happy. Especially right now because I'm in a bit of a slump.

I can post things that made me less unhappy, I guess.

The rules are that for 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day.

Tag 8 people to do the same.

8 days of Less Unhappy headed your way.

Starting with my bluebird icon. My bluebird icon at least made me giggle when I saw it.

Oh, and you 7 people - tag, you're it - 2 people on my flist are already doing this thing, so my pool of potential tagees is short:

bzero
electus_unus
 

greenforest_elf 
spyral_weaver73
 halfapersona
towanda000

2008 in Review Meme

I've stolen all these memes from Moonvoice, btw.

Take the first sentence from the first entry of each month of 2008; and then you call it the '2008 Meme'

Januscary - Thank y'all for all the birthday goodness. This is my last year of being in my 'early 30's', lol.

Feblueberry - How can I be there for you?

Mars - I'm starting to think I've got a problem I don't even believe in.
(I've still got the problem, but at least I know why now, and I'm okay with that)

Aperil - I always think of space when I think of you - those velvet unknowable reaches, the vastness, the infinite stretches of emptiness between stars and planets.

May Not - What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users.

Jejune - 01. I've come to realize that my butt:

Jewel-Lye - I'm sitting here with Nessie wrapped around my neck.

Awghost - Give me a list of books to read that explain a lot about you. As few or as many as you like, explaining is optional.

Septicember - I am really in a funk right now.

Octogre- We had a second brown recluse pop up this morning - it was sitting on the ceiling in the hallway.

Noremember - Thank you, Great Mystery, for the rain you have bestowed upon us. It's a great way to start November :)

Dismember - In about 30 days, I'm going to be 35.

Heh, looks like I ended the year the same way I started it.

Writer's Block: Coast Range

[Error: unknown template qotd] To quote Robert Plant...

<i>Carry me down to the sea
Carry me down where they're waiting for me
That's where I want to be
That's where it all comes around

Watching the ships pass by me
Friendships and small ships and hardships and dreams
That's where I want to be
Here where it all comes around

Oh, my head is in the sand
All my life passin' by
All of my days I have seen
All of the tears and the laughter and dreams
Movin' before me
Waves and the ocean and sea

Life is a big tambourine
The more that you shake it the better it seems
This is my wisdom
These are just words from the sea

Oh my head is in the sand
All my days passin' by
When I get older, settlin' down
Would you come down to the sea?

Ah-ha Carry me down to the sea again, ah-ha
Oh, carry me down to the sea again, ah-ha, ah-ha</i>

Why am I here in this desert? I think the majority of all my problems lay in a deficiency of sand and salt water.

T.V. Meme

List the first ten series that come to mind. Your friends will comment with the character from each series that they think you are most like. Remember this is who I'm most like, not favorites!

1) Farscape

2) Frasier

3) Dead Like Me

4) CSI: Las Vegas

5) The Simpsons

6) Family Guy

7) Futurama

8) King of the Hill

9) Stargate 1 (Just SG:1, not Atlantis)

10) That 70s Show

Yeah, you can tell what I watch on t.v. It was a struggle, too, because I'm not a huge t.v. watcher.

Sketchy Meme

The first ten people to comment in this post AND repost this meme in their own journal get to request a sketch on the topic of their choosing from me!

I can't promise that it will be recognizable or good, but I can doodle, so wtf, why not? They will also be small sketches so I can post them in my journal.
