Notes To Self

Mix Tape (May 2006)

Sun, 07 May 2006 01:58:34 GMT

Yeah, mix tapes. Remember those?? Back before CD burners...back when people had lives...and only the really geeky people (like me) would sit at home and spend the time putting together a mix??

Anyway, this is what I'm listening to at the present. And since it's such a large file, I made a sampler of all of the songs, too, to make the decision of "Do I want to waste my time downloading this?" a little easier.

Anyway, I got these from various sources, so if either the Artist or Track Name is wrong...well, sorry...my bad.

1) Bt, Tori Amos: Blue Skies
2) Fragma: You Are Alive
3) StraightWay Presents NewRace: My Generation
4) Aqualung: Easier To Lie
5) The Get Up Kids: Overdue
6) Feeder: Feeling A Moment
7) Jimmy Eat World: 23
8) Forever Changed: The Need To Feel Alive
9) Panic! At The Disco: Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have With Her Clothes On
10) The Jealous Sound: Anxious Arms
11) Snow Patrol: Hands Open
12) lostprophets: Last Train Home
13) Our Lady Peace: Love And Trust
14) Shout Out Louds: Please Please Please
15) Wolf Parade: I'll Believe In Anything
16) Lindsey Buckingham: Big Love (Live)
17) Trespassers William: I Don't Mind

Why, yes, I AM this boring in real life.

Stolen from uton13:

(I'm thinking I should have cheated and pressed the button until I got an answer that sounded like it answered the question.)

Put your player on shuffle. -Say the following questions aloud, and press play. -Use the song title as the answer to the question

1. How does the world see you? Good [Better Than Ezra] (Okay, that's cool. I can live with that.)

2. Will I have a happy life? Fix Your Eyes [Twila Paris] (Well, it's true that I need to get new glasses.)

3. What do my friends think of me? Dream Warriors [Dokken] (Yep. I always have weird dreams.)

4. Do people secretly lust after me? Safe, Sound [Trespassers William] (I'll take that as a "no".)

5. How can I make myself happy? My Friends Over You [New Found Glory] (I should make more friends?)

6. What should I do with my life? Halo [Porcupine Tree] (Um...)

7. Will I ever have children? Never Gonna Give You Up [Rick Astley] (My inner child, that is.)

9. How will I be remembered? It's Over [L.A. Guns] (Ha ha.)

10. What's my signature dancing song? Heaven [Lamb] (But I can't dance the "Funky Electric Robot Rabbit" to this...or can I?)

11. What's my current theme song? Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine [The Killers] (Actually, I don't think I've known anyone named Jenny.)

12. What do others think is my current theme song? Goodbye [Spice Girls] (Yep, that's me. Always running away.)

13. What shall they play at my funeral? I'm Walking Away [Craig David] (I wouldn't exactly be walking.)

14. What type of men/women do I like? I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme) [John Rzeznik] (Oh, see, now that would have been perfect for the last question.)

15. How's my love life? Please Remember Me [Tim McGraw] (Ha ha. That's very fitting.)

19.My mind is? Do You Remember? [Ginuwine] (No...no, I don't.)

20.What is my destiny? Bow Down (West Side Connection) [Ice Cube] (The world is MINE, nigga, get back!)

So, Spring is here. I know because the trees are in bloom and the wind is blowing...which kinda screws up my wi-fi connection.

I've decided to purchase a refurbished dvd recorder so that I can archive my 8mm tapes before my camera craps out.

I'm trying to get all of my stuff organized. Spring cleaning is long overdue.

I'm excited about House this week...since I didn't get to see it last week. Still working on the music video. Still haven't decided on a song.

I called Jane yesterday evening. She was sick for two days, but she felt better. She worked today.

I can't write and listen to music at the same time. I've never really noticed that before.

Yep. Everything's good. Can't really complain.

I think they all did okay tonight.

My predictions for bottom three are Bucky, Paris, and Catherine (I still don't know how to spell her name.)

I actually liked Ace. I thought it was a lot better than the judges gave him credit for. And I liked how he suggested changes to the arrangement, and the band was like "Uhhh...no. Can't do that. Sorry."

Paris just scared me. Her outfit...hair...just scurry. Kelly, too. And my mom didn't like my rendition of the omitted parts of "Bohemian Rhapsody". (I see a little silhouetto of a man...)

Taylor was good. Not too spazzy.

Chris was good, but...same old stuff, really.

Yeah. That's all I got.

1. Go here and search for a random word not in your interests list.
2. Scroll past the comms till you get to the users. Pick one of the users at random (for greater effect, pick one that hasn't updated in a while).
3. Go here and plug your username into the first box and the one you picked into the second.
4. Hit "find link!".
5. Scroll down to watch your link being calculated.
6. Paste your results in your journal.
7. Tell all your friends to do it!

So, I searched for "ham" as an interest, and picked rainbow_person because of the Johnny Depp/Benny And Joon icon...

No Day But Today...(or actually Thursday...night)

Yay! I'm going to see Rent on Thursday, and I don't have to work Friday, which means I don't get paid and can't really afford to see a movie, but ROSARIO DAWSON! Yay!

Thanksgiving Day

I woke up to find that George W. Bush's face has appeared in the waterspot on the ceiling.

That means I'm marked for death, right?

15 Thoughts of the Day

I found The X-Files movie in the $5.50 bin at Wal-mart.

If I had, like, 1000 bucks I could buy the series on dvd.

I wonder what happened to my X-Files action figures.

I can't remember when I stopped watching X-Files.

I never saw the episodes where Lucy Lawless guest starred.

I can't make out any of the words in that Fall Out Boy song.

I downloaded "My Humps" by The Black Eyed Peas because it's so stupid it's funny.

I've spent almost $300 on iTunes in the last few months.

I have had the practically the same 30 songs on my mp3 player for over a month.

It seems to me that after you buy so many songs, you should get one free.

I went shopping with my mother.

I hate shopping with my mother.

She always picks the buggy with the lame wheel.

I always have to push the buggy.

For a really long time.

Blech.

Why is it that I get all my news lately from Yahoo?

"The Pope is calm and serene..."
"The Pope is near death..."
"The Pope is dead."

I have a cramp in my foot.
