Break's been good. Not much to report. I've been hanging around at home, working on my a capella arrangement quite a bit. It's really time consuming. I'm arranging Love Will Come To You by the Indigo Girls, as of the songs on our list I deem it the most necessary to have ready to perform at Love Sucks, our Valentine's Day show.
Went skiing at Afton Alps last week with Mitcho and Tai-Jin. It was surprisingly fun, even though after having downhill skied at Lake Tahoe, Afton, MN is kinda pathetic. Like...the longest run is over in 30 seconds. But I built up my confidence and can actually ski more difficult stuff now without having to wipe out on purpose to stop myself.
Ice on the roads sucks. Wow, does it suck. When it's hovering around 32 degrees and it rains, but the ground is colder than the air, as was the case Monday, the results are highly slippery. I tried to turn a corner, my car failed to turn, so I swerved back to avoid hitting this lady's minivan, and kept going until I could turn around and come back to try again.
And now for something completely different:
The lyrics meme that everybody else has been doing!
The rules:
Step 1: Put your player on random.
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Without further ado,
1. You think you like to be normal / You think you're in control / But the action you take only makes you small
2. And so it is / The shorter story / No love, no glory / No hero in her sky
stephaniesays10 3. I just want to play on my panpipes / I just want to drink me some wine
annierose 4. Believing in love / Is like letting the song sing itself / The more that comes out / The more you become your own self
5. Does it kill / Does it burn / Is it painful to learn / That it's me that has all the control? / Does it thrill / Does it sting / When you feel what I bring / And you wish that you had me to hold?
6. I find sometimes it's easy to be myself / Sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else
7. Show me a friendship that's pure and chaste / And I'll show you an engine that's dying to race
shotoc 8. The shape of her horizon / Makes the morning sun / When she puts her eyes on / Each and anyone
littleschmidt 9. Who would ever want to play that part? / Of anonymous numbers on a governmental chart
10. I been lonely / I been cheated / I been misunderstood / I been washed up / I been put down / And told I'm no good
littleschmidt 11. If I play the same three chords / Will you just yawn and say...?
gcizzi 12. Saturday I'm running wild and all the lights are changing red to green / Moving through the crowd I'm pushing / Chemicals all rushing through my blood stream
gcizzi 13. You twist and turn in the slow motion daydream / You twist and turn in your own sweet hell
14. Life has its problems and I've got my share / But that's one thing I never meant to do
littleschmidt 15. I will just play dumb / I won't hear a single word that's said / I'll bite my tongue / Never sing another song again / I'm not scared...
earthen_gem 16. You and me and the devil makes three / Don't need no other lovin' baby
zibbyoneal 17. One day / I am gonna grow wings / A chemical reaction / Hysterical and useless
18. Cold, cold water surrounds me now / And all I have is your hand / Lord, can you hear me now?
19. There's a big fat heart with an arrow through the middle / Of this place that I call home / And when I get lost and don't even got a nickel / There's a piece of dirt I call my own
20. You gamble it here / You gamble in there / You gamble on everything, all except me / And I'm sick of you keeping me up in the air / Till you're back in the money again
21. Watch my temper / I go mental / I'll try to be gentle
semer 22. Me and Jesus a few years back / Used to hang and he said / It's your choice babe just remember / I don't think you'll be back in 3 days time / So you choose well (Jo"I'm too cool for a LiveJournal"anna)
23. To touch is to heal / To hurt is to steal / If you wanna kiss the sky / Better learn how to kneel
gcizzi 24. I am the blood / And I am the heartbeat / I am the needle drawing me from me / Separate vials for the vile I see
25. I'm going home despite / That Thomas Wolfe was right
