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...)

6. Here on in, I shoot without a script. - Warm Up #1, from Rent.

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.

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

Off you go, then. :P
