Put your music player 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 song is the title.

(With my usual extra clause that says I will ignore the tracks that have no words, as that's more than half my music)

Never knew I could feel like this

Who can tell me if we have ( Read more... )

Well, it's nearly December, and that means the ancient (four years?) tradition of the Gemma-and-Paul Christmas Tree Party must occur at some point. We will get a christmas tree and then ask our friends to help us decorate it as an excuse to put them all in our house and feed them mulled wine and port and mince pies. There is also a precedent for ( Read more... )

Post 10 things that are going right in your life right now. I don't care how small. You're happy with your cup of coffee. You saw a flock of geese flying over. ANYTHING. Things that make you happy. Things that make you smile.

1.  I have a Paul.  This never stops being great.  I get hugs and everything.
2.  I managed to get up for church today, and ( Read more... )

Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

I am afraid I fail.

Ref meeting tonight, or there shall be no half-week downtimes and no mission.

Sorry.

Will be free tomorrow night, or some time during or after next Thursday.

Sorry again.

I will be less lame after term finishes.

Promise.

Have now submitted group background.  Maybe a bit late, but better before the event that after, I guess.  Also did a makeup test today.  Sadly, my camera is broken so there are no pictures, but I think I can remember how it was done - it's simpler than Izza's anyway, even if it does involve several times as many colours.  Have now decided I need a ( Read more... )
