Shuffle meme

[escape_my_sins]

Put your iTunes collection on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

Just an old friend coming over now to visit you

Let me know that I’ve done wrong
When I get to the bottom
To the wounded
The stars are underground
Crawling in my skin
I’m scratching

...you kissed a drink girl? What was it you were saying earlier, Sharon Osbourne?

[escape_my_sins]

It's just a meme.

I am NOT Sharon Osbourne!

[not_a_savage]

You're funny when you're mad.

Ben Folds and Linkin Park back to back at the end there, huh? It's kinda like a microcosm of you meshing your music with mine.

[escape_my_sins]

*scowls* I'm glad I can amuse you, Jack.

It's not like I did it on purpose. But it actually kind of works, I guess.

[not_a_savage]

You seem to make a habit of it. That thing that you think is a death glare isn't very intimidating you know.

I think it does. I'm not sure I understand if there's an overall theme, but it kinda makes sense in a way.

[escape_my_sins]

Perhaps you should teach me the proper way, that way I know I'm getting my point across.

I don't think there is one, really... But they fit well, somehow.

[not_a_savage]

Are you calling me angry or intimidating?

I'm sure there is one. I just need to think about it.

[escape_my_sins]

You're obviously more intimidating than I am.

You're welcome to try and think of what the theme is.

[not_a_savage]

Do I intimidate you?

It sounds like you're wrestling with the fact that you've left what you've known as home.

[escape_my_sins]

No.

Why would I be wrestling with it? It's what I wanted to do.

[not_a_savage]

So I don't see why you'd say that I was.

That's just what the poem looks like. You don't miss any bit of your home country? Your family?

[escape_my_sins]

There are times when you are intimidating.

You can't miss what you don't have. Though I suppose I do miss England somewhat.

[not_a_savage]

Only when I feel like the situation calls for it.

Yes you can. You can miss the idea of something.

[escape_my_sins]

Which seems to be quite often in dealing with me.

... If you say so.

[not_a_savage]

I'm fine with just talking to you. If I have to deal with something, that implies that there is a problem. I wouldn't think that I would be too nice in that situation.

[escape_my_sins]

No, I wouldn't think you would be either. But it seems as though you have to deal with me on a somewhat regular basis.
