teylaminhAs if Lorna's Exorcist-in-30-seconds wasn't hysterical enough, there's this. Amusing whether you're a fic reader or writer or both...
Anyway. I will do my essay in a moment, honest, but first, here's the answers to the lyrics meme...

*pats self on the back*

Date: 2004-05-12 03:59 pm (UTC)Too clever for your own good, you.
'Course, it would have helped if my playlist had more actual content...
(no subject)
Date: 2004-05-12 04:05 pm (UTC)And, not so much with the clever. Ask me a question on anything that isn't song lyrics, and I'll be a fish out of water. Or a similar colourful metaphor involving aquatic animals.
(no subject)
Date: 2004-05-12 04:10 pm (UTC)Don't mention fish, damn you. I'd forgotten about that bloody evil eat-the-fish-before-they-eat-you game til you put it on your DJ...
(no subject)
Date: 2004-05-12 04:15 pm (UTC)You got sucked in as well? Ludicrously addictive, isn't it? And so frustrating when you have to start all over again... I love it.
(no subject)
Date: 2004-05-12 04:17 pm (UTC)I got sucked in the first time around. :P And right when I have more coursework to do... perfect timing... :)

Date: 2004-05-12 04:25 pm (UTC)Eee! B-Sides rock. I bought a CD of all Del Amitri's B-Sides, just so I could say I own all their B-Sides. This was before I realised that there was a promotion that sold the aforementioned CD along with their greatest hits... >.everything. Or, well, maybe not. But I was the first person I knew to experience the "Wee!" squirrel and the Lobster Magnet and the crazy Pika thing... but not Yatta.
And as to bad timing... it could be worse. You could have just bought two video-box-sets (with the intention of buying two more tomorrow!) with exactly one week until your first exam!
(no subject)
Date: 2004-05-12 04:32 pm (UTC)I just collect random singles, mostly Catatonia, which I think I've got most of, excepting one incredibly rare album that I really, really should've bought the first time I saw it about 6 years ago, and the double-disc of the Greatest Hits, which has one song I've never heard...
Well, there was a first time on my end. Lorna found it about two months ago and provoked the same "Argh! Addiction!" response. Though it's not as evil as the Black Dot Game.
Heh, well, I have more Angel to watch, but I'm free as of Friday anyway, with only the one exam to worry about (which, in all honesty, I only need to revise half of, because I can just ramble about Buffy... :D)
(no subject)
Date: 2004-05-12 04:37 pm (UTC)I don't like Singles, generally. I will admit to running out and buying "Breakfast at Tiffany's"... but that'd be all. Generally.
Black dot game!?? What black dot game!?? Less than a week away from my computer and I've become an online-game idiot! I'm Cletus the slack-jawed Yokel!!!
Bah at only one exam. Though I feel more comfortable with my three, having discovered that Claire has five. I didn't even know there were five subjects on offer this semester!
(no subject)
Date: 2004-05-12 04:41 pm (UTC)This black dot game...
It's unseen. I haven't done unseen exams since first year! But before that, I have 1750 words still to write, May Ball, Alton Towers attendance, random drunken debauchery, and Evanescence. Then exam, then you, and how long are you coming for anyway? Just so I know how much food to buy...
(no subject)
Date: 2004-05-12 04:52 pm (UTC)So speaks the girl with Steps in her CD collection.Stupid game and it's black-dot-on-a-black-background!!! It's not possible!!!
I prefer the unseen exams!! I have two seen and one unseen this semester, and it's my first attempt at seen exam(s) and I don't have a clue where to begin. Absolutely sweating over the Stylistics one and too scared to look at the AS till the other two are out of the way. At least with unseen papers, you have the leeway of... well, the fact that they're unseen and less is expected of you, etc etc.

Date: 2004-05-12 04:55 pm (UTC)And here was me wondering why it took you so long to reply... :) I can't even get past the annoying optical illusion level. I'm clearly doing something wrong.
I'm quite looking forward to this one, to be honest. Unseen ones are more straightforward to revise for.
(no subject)
Date: 2004-05-12 05:03 pm (UTC)I got past the optical illusion all right... it's the very last dot on Level Two that's a pain in the arse, 'cause it's on a black background!!! Argh!!
Agreed about the straightforward... and I've not even done more than a day and a half of seen-exam revision yet!!
Guh. On that note, my walkman has just died, and as it is physically impossible for me to do anything at all without having music of some description pounding in my ears, I think I shall have to bid you farewell for the evening and go home to annoy my housemates by putting my CD player on at 1am.
(no subject)
Date: 2004-05-12 05:07 pm (UTC)As to the optical illusion, that's going to bug the hell out of me now.
*pokes your walkman* Happy annoying. :)
