Since I'm already 100% behind on my NaNo project, I decided that clearly, the absolute best use of my time this afternoon would be doing this music meme again. Stolen from
dictums, et al, here it is:
1. Put your iTunes on shuffle.
2. Post a random line from the first 30 songs that play.
3. Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
4. DON'T CHEAT.
