see: the spanish homework rave should be doing
I made some instant cappuchino in a closed-top bottle and put it in the freezer to get cool quick yesterday. And forgot about it. So I have a solid block of frozen coffee in a bottle now, which is pretty entertaining. But not nearly as entertaining as the time the fridge setting was too cold, and my water bottle partially froze, leaving a little cap-gun type plug of ice in the neck of the bottle. I was poking it gently, wondering how I was supposed to drink out of that, when all of a sudden some pressure shifted and the ice plug shot out of the bottle at like 20 mph, hit the ceiling and fell directly onto the center of my roommate's head.
I am not making this up. We both had hernia-inducing laughter for an hour.
Went out with said roommate and former suitemate of awesome for roomie's birthday last night. She's now 21, so she got drunk -- she really is a fun drunk, not the kind of drunk who thinks she's fun but isn't -- not that she hasn't been going out drinking for years anyway, but still. It was fairly epic and although I'm not really interested in drinking, I do feel like I do need to imbibe somewhat when I turn 21 this summer, on the principle of the thing.
I'm already working on the third planned story of my SPN Greek mythology series, only it's going to be "Eurydice Rising" or something instead of another Orpheus title, because those are getting old.
I should be doing Spanish homework. Therefore, I have a meme swiped from terioncalling instead.
1.) Put your music player on shuffle
2.) Press forward for each question.
3.) Use the song title as the answer to the question.
4.) NO CHEATING!
-----
1.) How am I feeling today?
Carbon Leaf - Toy Soldiers
"Today I strike out on my own;
The dog is dead, the kids have grown.
I fell asleep in my writing chair;
I dreamt I found my childhood there..."
2.) How will I feel getting married?
Matchbox Twenty - Could I Be You
(Oh wow, I hope not. This is a terrible wedding song.)
"Something is wrong with the sum of us,
I can't seem to erase...
How can I be the only one
Without a smile on my face?
You're laughing out loud at just the thought of being alive
And I was wondering - Could I just be you tonight?"
3.) What is my best friend's theme song?
The Pillows - Hybrid Rainbow
(Hah, it's in Japanese. No lyrics for you.)
4.) Highschool is...
Carbon Leaf - Changeless
(Ironically, this is the song I most strongly associate with graduation.)
"Call my friends to share some wine,
To share some laughs and last goodbyes.
My photographs of these years
Will make me laugh through the tears.
And what are the odds, what are the odds this ends and we don't meet again?
What are the odds, what are the odds that I will miss your smile?
Take a while, take a while,
Take care and
Fly away and see the world.
Take a while, take a while,
Take time and
If you need rest I'll keep your nest
Changeless."
5.) I am...
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
"Said there ain't no use in crying, cause it will only only drive you mad.
Does it hurt to hear them lying? Was this the only world you had?"
6.) How is today?
Three Dog Night - Shambala
(Haha, the ultimate happy hippie song. ^_^ It is a good day.)
"Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain
With the rain of Shambala.
Wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame
With the rain of Shambala."
7.) What is in store for this week?
AFI - Miss Murder
(Umm... no. Unless that Spanish test is going to murder me.)
"With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him
Simply a look can break your heart."
8.) What song best describes my parents?
Seatbelts - AsK DNA
(Actually, this song does make me think of my parents. It's so happy and bouncy, too. :D)
"When the truth seems so far away
Buddha loves you and Jesus saves
You need answers for your dismay
Ask yourself
Ask your mom
Ask DNA"
9.) How is my life going?
The Pillows - Last Dinosaur
(Again, I'm not trying to translate. But it's a happy-sounding song.)
10.) What song will they play at my funeral?
Divine Comedy - Gin-Soaked Boy
(Actually, I wouldn't mind this at all.)
"I'm the darkness in the light
I'm the leftness in the right
I'm the rightness in the wrong
I'm the shortness in the long
I'm the goodness in the bad
I'm the saneness in the mad
I'm the sadness in the joy
I'm the gin in the gin-soaked boy
....
I'm the world you'll never see
I'm the slave you'll never free
I'm the truth you'll never know
I'm the place you'll never go
I'm the sound you'll never hear
I'm the course you'll never steer
I'm the will you'll not destroy
I'm the gin in the gin-soaked boy
....
I'm the half-truth in the lie
I'm the why not in the why
I'm the last roll of the die
I'm the old school in the tie
I'm the spirit in the sky
I'm the catcher in the rye
I'm the twinkle in her eye
I'm the Jeff Goldblum in The Fly
Who am i?"
11.) How does the world see me?
Modest Mouse - Float On
"I backed my car into a cop car, the other day
Well he just drove off, sometimes life's ok.
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say
Well you just laughed it off, it was all ok.
And we'll all float on, ok..."
12.) My friends think...
Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down
(Apparently my friends are uber-conservative hellfire Christians? Or not. My love for this song is inexplicable.)
"You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down."
13) My life is lived...
Yoko Kanno - Run, Wolf Warrior, Run
"Run, wolf warrior, to ends eternal
Through the wreckage of the death of the day.
Scent of silence under starlight spinning,
A captured beast within a human skin.
Are you searching for long lost landscapes
Lit by flowers and crystal cascades?
Where the lamb lies down with the lion,
Where the wolf is one with the wild."
14.) This makes me happy...
Sugar Ray - Personal Space Invader
"Sometimes I just want to be left alone
Move your big head
It's my way, go and get your own.
I don't know about the things you do,
I don't know about the things you do,
I don't know about the things you know about
The things I know about the things you do."
15.) What should I do with my life?
Matchbox Twenty - Angry
(Well, what I should STOP doing with my life, anyway.)
"And it's good that I'm not angry -
I just need to get over -
I'm not angry, anymore.
Cry when you cry, run when you run,
Love when you love.
We now represent the ashes
That you leave behind.
And instead of wishing that the road had shoulder
Man, you're seeing that you're sinking over time..."
16.) I will be happy when...
Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper
(I will be happier when I stop fearing death)
"All our times have come
Here, but now they're gone.
Seasons don't fear the reaper,
Nor do the wind, the sun and the rain;
We can be like they are."
17.) What is some good advice?
Carbon Leaf - Shine
"Shall I shine out? It's boring, snoring.
I'd like to teach me to sing in perfect harmony,
And I'd like to change the world -
It's easier than changing me."
18.) What do I think my current theme song is?
Yo La Tengo - I Feel Like Going Home
(I do, indeed, feel like going home. Not in a metaphorical way. Thanksgiving break is coming up soon and I'm tired of school.)
"He calls me to the ocean
Takes me wandering through the street
A restless imagination
But for now, I move my feet on the ground
'Cause I feel like going home."
19.) What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Run Through the Jungle (live)
(Everyone else thinks I'm having 'Nam flashbacks?)
"Whoa, thought it was a nightmare,
Lo, it's all so true,
They told me, don't go walkin' slow
'Cause devil's on the loose.
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Whoa, dont look back to see."
20.) The type of men I like are...
Styx - Renegade
(What the hell? LOL)
"Oh mama I'm in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law.
Lawman has put an end to my running
And I'm so far from my home.
Oh mama I can hear you a crying;
You're so scared and all alone.
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long."
21.) How will you feel on your wedding day?
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
(Apparently my wedding is going to be surreal, abstract and more than a little creepy...)
"The dance of the puppets
The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun.
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournament's begun.
The purple piper plays his tune,
The choir softly sing;
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue,
For the court of the crimson king."
22.) What should I do with my love life?
Rolling Stones - Street Fighting Man
(My love life should lead a violent revolution? Um. All right.)
"Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
'Cause summers here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy
But what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man."
23.) What will your neighborhood be like?
Violent Femmes - No More Heroes
(My neighborhood will be full of assassinations. Maybe I don't want to live there. o_O)
"Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky?
He got an ice pick
That made his ears burn.
Whatever happened to dear old Lenny?
The great Elmyra and Sancho Panza?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
No more heroes anymore."
24.) What will your dying words be?
Bad Company - Crazy Circles
"Life is just a game of chance
Some find riches and some romance
Some find happiness and some find sorrow
Some find it today and some maybe tomorrow.
Oh, I will face the sun
Leaving shadows far behind
And together we'll go on
Through time..."
