Some random things.

[teylaminh]

Firstly, here's that same old meme-thing, taken from Eni and Eve respectively:

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Secondly, I owe a few hugs here and there, so: *HUG*

Thirdly, because I was re-reading old entries today in a fit of sheer boredom (there's been barely anything to do today; I also re-themed my journal to something more summer-y) and realised it's been a very long time, here's that guess-the-song-from-the-lyrics meme...

Rules: randomise your MP3-player of choice (I'm using Winamp), then post your favourite lyric from each song that comes up (trying not to include the title), then let your f-list guess the artist and song. There's normally a limit of 10-15 songs but I've been known to go as high as 30. ;)

Usually Eni and queenc2346 pwn this kind of thing between them, but anyway... here it goes:



I'll post the answers at some point, probably Monday. I was kind of hoping my musical tastes had improved in the past three years, but Winamp begs to differ. :P

1. I know this world won't change... (not much to choose from in this song, alas) - Dream On, Catatonia.
   
2. But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular, a name that's peculiar and more dignified... - The Naming of Cats, from Cats.
   
3. For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now... - Hunter, Dido.
   
4. Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you... (anyone who doesn't get this has been living under a rock :P) - Hallelujah, Rufus Wainwright (at least on this occasion...)
   
5. With just one more brain, what a half-wit he'd be. - Funny Honey, from Chicago.
   
6. Here on in, I shoot without a script. - Warm Up #1, from Rent.
   
7. There's men everywhere, jazz everywhere, booze everywhere, life everywhere, joy everywhere... (Winamp randomiser fails again!) - Nowadays, from Chicago.
   
8. For you and I have a guardian angel on high, with nothing to do. - True Love, from High Society.
   
9. Yet, if he said he loved me, I'd be lost... - Don't Know How to Love Him, from Jesus Christ Superstar.
   
10. It's about being able to fly... - Belfast (Penguins and Cats), Katie Melua.
    
11. She turned to drink, she filled up with paraffin inside. - Lily the Pink, The Scaffold.
    
12. I'm lying in my bed, listening to my breath, falling from the edge - Only When I Sleep, The Corrs.
    
13. "Why are you so far away?" he said, "Why won't you ever know I'm in love with you?" - Just Like Heaven, Katie Melua.
    
14. "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?" (if you get the title I'll be very impressed) - I Write Sins Not Tragedies, Panic! At the Disco.
    
15. I've seen blue skies through the tears in my eyes... - I'm Going Home, from The Rocky Horror [Picture] Show.
    
16. Find me, I'm lost in the crowd, it's getting loud. - Hear Me, Kelly Clarkson.
    
17. And give up my hard-earned status as fabulous freak of nature? - One, Alanis Morrisette.
    
18. I need someone older and wiser telling me what to do... - Sixteen Going on Seventeen, from The Sound of Music.
    
19. While there's a show on to perform, smooth down your hair... - Way Beyond Blue, Catatonia - one of the only lines in English.
    
20. Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams. - Spooky, Dusty Springfield.

I think that's more than enough for now, and I need a shower. :P

Off you go, then. :P

I am SO IMPRESSED by number 14!

The ones you knew are right. Obviously.

Unrelated to the post, as much as I'd like to have been struck by inspiration on the remaining songs...

...but just a quick "hope you're okay", since it's been a while since you updated here or your Twitter.

I mean, I'm sure you're just caught up in the Big Brother stuff again, but... y'know, anyway, *hugs and all*

Not that I worry or anything.

Hey, yes, I am alive. Paul has the week off as well and we spent much of yesterday cleaning the kitchen and much of today wandering around Sutton park. So not much to update about, really...

[commoncomitatus]

Yay on the still-alive! Y'know, not that I was worried, 'cause I so wasn't. Nuh-uh.

Also yay on the park-walking; I assume the weather's been as generous up north as it has been down here the last few days?
