♥ and a meme, snagged from trackscovered

Comment and I will....

a) Tell you why I friended you.

b) Associate you with something -- a fandom, song, color, photo, etc.

c) Tell you something I like about you.

d) Tell you a memory I have of you.

e) Ask you something I've wanted to know about you

f) Tell you my favorite userpic from your list

g) In return, you need to post this on your own LJ

So, why_me_why_not, your LiveJournal reveals...

You are... 5% unique (blame, for example, your interest in wendy's enabling) and 15% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy writing). When it comes to friends you are popular. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are keen to please. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is conventional.

Your overall weirdness is: 20

(The average level of weirdness is: 28.
You are weirder than 43% of other LJers.)

Find out what your weirdness level is!

Haha, alli_everyday is weirder than me! :P

Harley did a music meme over on her LJ & I don't know half the songs on the list, even though we share computers so I totally should. But here are some off my laptop. Who wants to play?

Taken from casualyobsessed

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first two lines from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Check off the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly... I'm gonna screen comments for 24 hours for fairness.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING, and that would make you a cheating cheater who cheats! Not allowed!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own. Enjoy!

ETA: Answers posted 7/27/08 If you want any of the songs, lemme know.

( first lines behind the cut )

Is asking for a cheeseburger at Chick-Fil-A like ordering extra biscuits?

This was the meme:
1. It begins with a list of all 26 letters of the alphabet.
2. Comment with something for me to talk about that starts with one of those letters. Make me babble about anything -- TV shows, actors, actresses, food, idk, be creative. :D
3. One topic per letter -- it's like a claims list! I will cross off letters as topics appear.
4. I will post a new post talking about all 26 topics given to me!

( Here is the result )

First off, a HUGE thank you and lots of love for all the birthday wishes! Yall make me feel so special!! *snuggles*

Now...

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

Okay, we all know I can't follow directions properly. So, I uploaded 10 for each letter (it was hard enough to narrow it down that much!) and made sure they weren't all country songs. Lemme know if you want a letter too.

exsequar gave me L!

Lie to Me by Shane Mack. OMG, guys. I just… I got to see Shelter this weekend and I kinda love it a lot and this song is from the soundtrack (which I do have, if anyone wants). I don’t even know why I love it, b/c it’s pretty sad, but I do, so much.

Learn to Be Still by The Eagles. The Eagles are one of my all-time favorites.

Life Ain’t Always Beautiful by Gary Allen. I’ve been a Gary Allen fan for over a decade now. One of the first concerts I ever went to was him and Mark Chestnut, back when the only song he had on the radio was House of Love, which no one knows now b/c he disappeared for several years before making a comeback. But this song has an awesome message, life ain’t always beautiful, but it’s a beautiful ride.

Little Black Backpack by Stroke 9. Dude. I don’t even know who in fandom introduced me to Stroke 9, but I love them. This song is one of my favorites of theirs and I can’t help but sing along with it whenever I hear it.

Living Our Love Song by Jason Michael Carroll. This was one of the songs we included on my brother’s wedding cd. Plus, I saw JMC live last weekend, and he’s got an amazing stage presence. And it’s cute.

Loco by David Lee Murphy. This is my life, seriously. I might me a little bit loco, but it keeps me from losing mind / yeah I might be a little bit loco baby, but a little bit crazy’s alright.

Love You Much Better by The Hush Sound. I LOVE THE HUSH SOUND!! In case you’ve somehow missed that lately. This song makes me HAPPY and makes me wanna dance and sing along and it’s GRETA and her boys and just *happy sigh*.

Lucky 4 U by SHeDAISY. You always said that I had multiple personalities / I bounce around somewhere between my dreams and reality. That is so me. And this is a fun song, even if the chorus is repeated eleven times or something.

Lullabies by All Time Low. I kinda love ATL a bunch, but this song, idek what it is. I heard it once and thought it would be good for fanfic, but then I got hooked on it. I think it’s awesome.

Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off by Panic at the Disco. BRENDON! Patd! I’m not even gonna try to explain the why on this one. *g*

And trackscovered gave me W!

We Rode in Trucks by Luke Bryan. Okay, so this is another song that really reflects my life, b/c where I grew up, we still ride in trucks. But deeper than that, it’s about friendships and growing up and whatnot. we were poor, we were ugly, we were all best friends / wide eyed, baptized, and still wanting to sin.

Wait by Huffamoose. This song is forever old now, like I was in love with Huffamoose when I was in high school more than ten years ago. And this song is still on my “music to porn to” playlist.

Walk a Little Straighter by Billy Currington. The first time I heard this song, I’m pretty sure I cried. My dad is an alcoholic, so I can totally relate to this.

Wasted Jamie by Steve Carlson. Another song I can’t help but sing along to. And another great artist-find that I owe to fandom. There was also a point in time where this was Davey’s favorite song so we listened to it A LOT. But I still think it’s awesome.

What I Almost Was by Eric Church. We have all made decisions in our lives that we wonder if they were the right ones. But in the end, I think things usually turn out the way they’re meant to be, and I know there have been times in my life when I look back and think, I thank God I ain’t what I almost was.

What We Know Now by Restless Heart. These are all slow/somber songs. Sorry. Another reflective song. If we knew then what we know now, we could’ve turned the world upside down.

When You Come Back Down by Nickel Creek. Two years ago, De did a phone post of herself doing a cover of this song for my birthday. I was going through a really rough time right then, and this song never fails to make me cry b/c it reminds me of how awesome De is.

Who Said by Hannah Montana. Yeah yeah, laugh it up.

Wonderwall by Oasis. One of THE songs from my teenage years. Lots and lots of memories associated with this one.

The World Has Its Shine by Cobra Starship. I can’t even begin to explain my love for Cobra, but when their album came out last fall I listened to it on repeat for weeks and even though my favorite song changed nearly as often as the cd changed tracks, this is one of the ones I decided was my favorite. <3

And another meme, stolen from the fantabulous gossymer.

1. It begins with a list of all 26 letters of the alphabet.
2. Comment with something for me to talk about that starts with one of those letters. Make me babble about anything -- TV shows, actors, actresses, food, idk, be creative. :D
3. One topic per letter -- it's like a claims list! I will cross off letters as topics appear.
4. I will post a new post talking about all 26 topics given to me!

( the letters )

Yes, I'm fucking off instead of doing my homework. Are we surprised?

Yall know that meme that goes around every few months where you post the first line of songs and have your flist try to guess the song? Let's play that game, yeah? First 30 songs that come up on my ipod on shuffle, have the first line or three. See if you can name the title & artist (bonus points if you can give me the next line). Googling the lyrics is cheating. Comments are screened to give everyone a fair chance. Post this in your own LJ so I have more reason to procrastinate.

( some of these should be simple )

Hahaha, sunsetmog wrote bandom AU in which the boys are DUCKS! I haven't read this yet, but I've been waiting on it and I'm laughing just thinking about it. So, I'm spreading the word, in case anyone wants to come read with me.

The One Where They're All… Ducks?
[2,689 words, bad language only, Bandom Duck AU, Panic at the Disco, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, mention of the Used. Frank/Gerard, Pete/Mikey]
Summary: Gerard's feathers brushed Frank's beak. "Quack," Gerard said, for want of something better to say.

Real Post: I was teasing Landon at work and said something about him being awesome & he was like "Do you really wanna know how awesome I am? When girls get to sleep with me, they get so excited they piss themselves!" Apparently, he picked up this girl over the weekend and took her home and sometime during the night he woke up in a puddle of pee because she had wet the bed. I was highly amused. Landon is sometimes my favoritest person at work.

I'm sure some of you know who Taylor Swift is, right? A couple of her songs are crossing over from country radio to pop stations (which is annoying as fuck b/c I really used to like Our Song but now that I'm hearing it 111 times a day, I'm not so sure) even though she is country (she was on the Bonfires & Amplifiers tour w/ Brad Paisley & Rodney Adkins last fall). But she is only 18 so it's a different kind of country, I guess. Anywho, her current single is Picture to Burn and I really like this song as well, but I heard it on the radio today and was confused b/c they edited it. In the song, she says "Tell all your friends I'm obsessive & crazy, that's fine, I'll tell all mine you're gay" and the radio edit says "Tell all your friends I'm obsessive & crazy, that's fine, you won't mind if I say". Um, wth? Here's the song, if anyone wants it, b/c I really do rather like it: Picture to Burn by Taylor Swift.

And a meme! Comment, and I will give you a letter. Then, in your LJ you have to list ten things you love (in no particular order) that start with the letter I assign you.

keladry_lupin gave me M!

1. mashed potatoes (yum!)
2. MUSIC! (that probably should've been #1, you think?)
3. medicine (b/c yes, I like my current bipolar meds)
4. metaphors
5. milkshakes
6. my MOMMA
7. moonlight
8. moonshine (hypothetically, of course, b/c it's illegal and I for sure don't know anyone who makes and/or runs it *g*)
9. massages
10. My Chemical Romance (ok, I was seriously trying to come up with something different and not include them on this list, but it didn't work, and MCR was my first thought, followed closely by MikeyWay. So.)

Now, I'm gonna go get me a bowl of ice cream (my throat still hurts, blech!) and then read about ducks. *g*

there's a commercial on tv that says "bowl must be licked until tongue is tired" and it cracks me up every time it comes on.

The most fantabulous Ash (notthequiettype) is hosting a LOVE MEME, which is made of awesome.

here's my name

And I really am betaing, not at all thinking about The Orgy of the Alexes. omg. *hides*

Okay, so I need to make a real post with a Christmas update (but no pics b/c my brother gave mom his computer and thus we haven't uploaded any pics) and I need to answer comments and I have stuff to finish writing. But I'm not doing any of that at the moment. I'm playing catch up on fic-reading b/c I have my computer back! YAY! I'm so so happy about that.

Also, I need prompts. For drabbles or short kinda things. It keeps me occupied during the day at work (we're very very slow this week, and yet my coworkers still manage to prove their incompetence quite well) and I keep asking the same people for prompts (not that I don't love writing for them, and I don't think they mind me asking for prompts) but I thought maybe I'd ask for prompts from someone I don't txt all the time.

So, give me a prompt. Leave me a comment with a fandom, a pairing, random words, lyrics, whatever you want, and I'll include the drabbles (or ficlets; they don't always stay as small as I'd like) with my New Year's Post.

The wonderful wendy is challenging everyone to post a list of Five Things to be Thankful for. Of course, her challenge was issued way early this morning and it's way late. But still, here's my list:

Five Things
1. warm blankets fresh out of the dryer
2. cracktastic friends that call me on my lunch break. for no reason. from two cars over in the parking lot.
3. i get my tax refund check next week
4. brothers. like, my real brothers who do things for me and buy me valentines gifts and say they're from my boys
5. the ice that we were supposed to get tonight looks like it's gonna miss us

What about yall?

I have fic. And it's been okayed by a few of my specialest friends, so maybe it'll get posted tonight, after I put up the valentines post. There was something else I wanted to say but I cannot remember what it was. Oh well. LOVE YALL!!
