The First Lines Game:
Here's how it works: Put your MP3 player on shuffle. Write down the first couple of lines of the first 20 songs. If the lyrics contain the song title, leave it out. Post them to your journal so that people can have fun guessing the artist and song title. No cheating by using google. And of course it goes without saying, you mustn't try to be cool by skipping past embarrassing songs.
