with words I thought I'd never speak

stolen from several of you...

Step 1: Put your itunes on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 22 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.

( here be the songs )

I'm so amused by 8 & 9. *g* They weren't right next to each other in the shuffle, but omg I cannot believe how many instrumental/soundtrack songs I have! I didn't realize it was so many. I had to skip a TON because they didn't have any lyrics! Anyway, some of these are probably really obvious, and some considerably less so.

also, I have a few vignettes from my writing class that I'll be posting... sometime. Was gonna do it tonight, but it's too late now and I have to go to bed. I just found out that I have to leave like, half an hour earlier than I usually do tomorrow. BOOO.

ok, fic-wise: would you rather I post the beginnings of longer fics that aren't finished yet, or should I wait until they're either finished or 90% finished before I start posting? or should I just GET OFF MY ASS and finish the gazillion new ficlets that are in my WIP folder?

(and by the way, my "current music" song isn't on the above list. :P ALSO, does anyone have The Beautiful Letdown by Switchfoot?)

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).

the NEAREST book to me was my math book, which doesn't have sentences. So I picked the second-nearest book, The Writer's Presence, which is a collection of essays. The essay on page 123 is "A Clack of Tiny Sparks: Remembrances of a Gay Boyhood", by Bernard Cooper, which happened to be my favorite essay of the ones that I had to read for my English class. Also, this guy has really long sentences, lol.

( cut for length )

wait. that page in my math book DID have sentences... because I know you guys are just dying to know, here's what my math book says:

( cut for length )

LotR is amazing. Can't really say a whole lot more than that at the moment because my mind is mush. But, we did end up watching the Dom/Elijah easter egg and both Fellowship of the Cast and A Day in the Life of a Hobbit, so that was pretty awesome. Especially since the person who stayed long enough to watch them both had never seen them before. lol!

I will admit to tearing up a bit at the end. Actual tears, unlike the dry-eyed kind of thing I did for Lost (I just couldn't cry!!). But though I got a bit misty at the Frodo/Sam "End of All Things" scene, I actually cried when Dom Merry started crying at the Grey Havens. Also, when Merry and Eowyn are about to go into battle in RotK? Dom has the exact same "staring death in the face" expression that he has in Lost. guh.

And now, a meme, because I was tagged by babybrothalova. :D

Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

1. Sometimes adults that I've known all my life call me "Jenny-pop" because my dad made up the name "Jenny-popadopalos", and he used to call me "Jenny-pop" all the time. LOL!
2. I have been on a cruise to the Bahamas. 'Twas very fun. :D
3. I have two Return of the King posters, and neither of them have Billy or Dom on them. >.<
4. I've composed two songs, both of which are crap, and I'm still working (kind of on-and-off) on the ending to one of them.
5. I've never fired a gun, but I really really want to, at least once in my life. Although I did just have my first try at a BB gun on Friday, so that was cool. LOL
6. I have the bad habit of thinking everyone is an idiot, and I rarely change this opinion of people unless I'm proven wrong by the person in question. >.< For the record, I don't think you guys are idiots. *g* Just people in general.
7. I haven't seriously read Harry Potter fanfiction since I began reading LotR RPS. *facepalm* And there were some good WIPs I was reading, too! I'll have to get back to those....
8. 8 is my favorite number.

I tag...

bloodrayveness
rebel_blue
morebliss
giddy_london
rainbowcobweb darnit, Baby already tagged you! lol!!
wbearsmom
rowenanienna (ps: what time are you in the computer lab on Tuesday?)
imogen_star_dom
jillo_loves_dom


wow, coming up with 8 people was harder than I thought it would be. >.< So, do the meme if you'd like, or just ignore it if you feel so inclined.

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.

snagged from my brainspouse, bloodrayveness

Go through your journal and post the first sentence in the first entry of each month.

I was surprised to find that I only had to skip one post because it was a fic. LOL I figured you wouldn't want a fic title. *g*


and that's it. I haven't been on LJ all that long, really. lol

um, what else was I going to say....? oh, I've started yet ANOTHER fic, which should be done any time now, because it's supposed to be SHORT and PLOTLESS. mostly. lol. blame bloodrayveness, she made me do it. *g* we were inspired by this post of OMGHOTNESS. seriously. *dead* anyway, we just said that we had a NEED to see Dom and Billy kiss like that. which unfortunately, they haven't (at least to our knowledge). annnd, that's all I have to say right now. how boring. :)

hopefully photobucket will work with me on this picspam...

Leave a list of fictional characters in your journal that you would love to get a message from. It is your friend-list's mission, should they choose to accept it, to write you an in-character note from a character on that list. Then they post their own list in their journal and the process continues!
