I see now that LJ has spotlighted a community that is very similar to the concept of the following meme...
1) I have put iTunes on random and listed the first line of the first 25 songs that came up. (Except that, like
robyn_ma from whom I got this meme, I have excluded the really obvious ones that have the sing title in the first line.)
2) Your task: Guess the songs and the artists. No Googling! Googling is cheating, and cheating is so not awesome!
1) Early morning, mid-July/ anticipation's making me high
2) In for an evening of light entertainment/ and who would believe you could worry the neighbours
3) So welcome to the real world/ where there's nowhere to hide
4) When no one will listen and time won't wait/ when you see yourself and see the one that you hate
5) I feel like I wanna smack somebody/ turn around and bitch-slap somebody
6) Well I guess that this is now the end/ who'd have thought, my old friend
7) All throughout history you made sure your conscience be clear
8) Bring me home to this house of many days/ just lay me on the floor hard and cool as slate
9) Wave if you want me to notice you/ stop if you have someone else
10) If there's a blue sky leaving you cloudy/ if there's a shadow calling your name
11) Sometimes you have no choice/ sometimes you've got no voice to say
12) Just the twinkling lights of heaven/ two reflections in the sparkling water
13) Here we are, hangin' on strains of greed and blues ~ Goonies R Good Enough by Cyndi Lauper (yay,
cake_and_punch!)
14) Walk out the door, turn around/ pick up the phone, put it down
15) What do you know? Same as I know.
16) SHe gave you everything she had/ but she was young and dumb, she just turned 21
17) Liars, losers comin' at me/ what I need is sanctuary
18) I got a letter from a friend the other morning/ he said it's hot down by Montego Bay
19) Oh yes, I'm guilty/ for leasing myself out
20) I've got a 12-pack of Genesee Cream Ale/ Let's go on up to the train trestle and jump into the river
21) I was born long ago/ I am the chosen, I'm the one
22) Skip the cloak and dagger bit/ don't you know we're sick of it ~ Choice in the Matter by Aimee Mann (yay,
setsuled!)
23) In this age of grand illusion, you walked into my life out of my dreams
24) You know who I am he said/ the speaker was an angel
25) Pauly's twenty-five, he's having a tough life

Aside from that, I seem to be continuing my curse on magazine subscriptions. JANE magazine just sent me a card to tell me that they are ceasing publication. This is now the third magazine to die while I have a subscription. (That's why I let my subscription to Bitch lapse - I don't want to jinx them!)
