I can play too!
I really wanted to do that book thing everyone else was doing, but sadly I only have one of my favorite books here, and there is NO ONE who would be able to get it. Not even Rachel.
But hey, I can do the song thing! Whoo!
And yes, I realize that my taste in music sucks. I'm okay with this.
Really.
So good luck. These should either be ridiculously easy, or impossible, depending on how crap your taste is. :)
1) "Now that you’ve made me want to die,
you tell me that you’re unboyfriendable.
And I could make you pay and pay,
but I could never make you stay."
2) "Be doo gadishki noo
yay borschnick umm dee da dum
bork! bork! bork!"
3) "When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums, -Do You Hear the People Sing, Les Mis.
there is a life about to start, when tomorrow comes."
4) "Pluck up the courage and snap -Wednesday, Tori Amos.
it's gone again.
I start humming 'When Doves Cry'."
5) "And I wish on all the rainbows that I’ve seen.
I wish on all the people who really dream.”
6) “Nobody ever treated me kindly:
daddy left early, mama was poor.”
7) “Poverty - - Hands, by Jewel.
stole your golden shoes.
It didn’t steal your laughter.”
8) "But put yourself in my position, just try to envision
witnessin’ your momma poppin’ prescription pills in the kitchen; bitching
that someone’s always going through her purse and shit’s missing.”
9) "I say c’est la vie. So let her be a lesbian, -Phone Call #something, from RENT.
there are other fishies in the sea.”
10) "Her eyes grew wide for a moment, she drew one last deep breath.
Then her finger moved in the moonlight.
The musket shattered the moonlight.
Shattered her breast in the moonlight.
And warned him with her death.”
11) "You’re an uncle fucker, I must say. And this was SO ON MY PLAYLIST, RACHEL!
Well, you fucked your uncle yesterday!”
12) "Now if you’d like to have a logical explanation
how I happened on this elegant syncopation,
I will say without a moment of hesitation:
there is just one place that can light my face."
13) "Swing me upon its hanging tire, -Kiss Me, by Sixpence None the Richer.
bring bring, bring your flowered hat,
we’ll take the trail marked on your father’s map."
14) "Even a whore who has gone to the bad won’t be had by a rat."
15) "But I’m so used to hear her say: “Good morning” every day.
Her joys, her woes, her highs, her lows
are second nature to me now.
Like breathing out and breathing in."
16) "Had to get your prince. Had to get your cow.
Had to get your wish, doesn’t matter how,
anyway it doesn’t matter now."
17) "To avoid complications -Killer Queen, by Queen.
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness."
18) "You don’t know a person like me,
I could sell your songs to nike."
19) "You’ve put up a front, you’ve put up a fight,
and just to show we feel no spite:
you can be our acolyte!"
20) "Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and grief, - Gonna give this to Katie. "Ordinary World" by er, I forget.
feared today, forgotten tomorrow.
Oh, here beside the muse of holy war and holy need
ours is just a little sorrorw."

bitching, so feel free to ignore me.
In one of those moments that you want to smack yourself over five minutes later, my mom mentioned on the phone today that it's spring semester, and I haven't gone nuts yet.
"Yeah," I replied. "Huh. I don't know why."
And then I proceeded to be antsy and procrastinate for five hours this evening. But hey, it's all good - I still have enough time to do the projects tomorrow.
Only as soon as I lie down in bed...bam! Panic reaction. It's the weirdest sensation, like I can actually feel the cortisol or adrenaline or whatever pouring into my system. My hearbeat kicks up, and then I get hot and my eyes start to prickle like I'm going to cry.
So I figured - okay, screw this. I'm not going to lie here and work myself up. I'll get up and bum around for a while, and then try again when I've short-circuited it. Or whatever.
I hate hormones, I really do. I also hate the way they seem to coincide with every single freaking project I've had to do this semester - argh.
[Admin note: This entry gets like ALL the spam attempts in the world, so I'm closing comments on it. Feel free to comment around it or send an email or something.]

gainfully employed, or something like that
So this August I'll be moving to Baton Rouge, which will probably be the 'coolest' place I'll have lived yet. I've been spending a lot of time looking for apartments and a roommate online, which is both exciting and deeply scary. I know that I'm an adult now, and I need to be on my own but...I guess I always thought being an adult would feel different, somehow.
Which isn't to say I'm not ready to move there. I am, actually, something that startles even me. I'm worried about what it'll be like to handle my own bills, what it will be like to be in a new city where I don't have doctors or a good dentist or anything like that, but at the same time...I'm not. It's all very strange.
Be that as it may, I'm basically employed for the next three years. Never thought I'd have a job that fast - haven't even graduated yet. Go me! And I'll get to focus on something I love and enjoy, instead of taking all these other LSP and blah blah blah classes.
Also, I have no idea why my ancient drunken post has gotten so much attention...dude, people, it wasn't like I thought I was making some profound statement like "Alcohol is the coolest thing ever!" I was just tipsy and it was fun to write.
