Oh man, remind me that leaving things to the last minute is a bad thing next time I go away. I have a 1002 things to do and a day to do them. Doable I know, but still. Bad me! Which of course means I must meme.

I was tagged by vaudevilles for the music meme.

List seven songs you are into right now. no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your winter. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. I was tagged by vaudevilles, but am too lazy to tag in response - if you feel like it, consider yourself tagged!


Mika: Big Girl (You are beautiful) I like Mika a lot and think this song is really catchy. I do get a little weird listening sometimes though, the big girl you're beautiful. I always imagine people seeing and thinking, yeah right. But I still love the song.
Ladies Choice I could have easily uploaded all of the Hairspray soundtrack for this meme. Man, I adore this song. It makes me want to dance when I hear it.
You Can't Stop the Beat Ditto to the comment above. It's just an amazing feel good song. I'm burning the soundtrack today for the journey tomorrow. I'll be the one waving my arms when no one is looking *g*
Take That: ShineI was so thrilled when Take That reformed. This song is so happy! And the boys carry Mark over a piano in the video. A piano Glee!
The Fray: How to Save a LifeI was just talking about this song in castalie's journal. When Moffet died we were taking her to be cremated. Neither James or me wanted to listen to the radio and the mix cd we had in the player was mostly upbeat songs, apart from this. We must have listened to it over 30 times and when I hear it now I remember Moffet. In fact we call it Moffet's song now. One of the lines is Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend. It says it all.
MCR: Teenagers I listen to the Kerrang music channel at home, when this song comes on I always have to stop what I'm doing to watch.
FOB: thnks fr th mmrs this is the first song on the mix CD we're listening to in the car. It reminds me of drives with my boys.

Another meme Gakked from everyone on my flist: When you see this, post a little weensy excerpt from as many random works-in-progress as you can find lying around. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.

Happy early Bassez day!

It's Bassez Day tomorrow. Sadly I won't be here, so I'm posting my offering early. I talked to joshysleo and told her my head was in a very Boxes place, so she said Bassez friendship was okay. Therefore, this is a short piece in the Boxes universe. If you haven't read that, basically Chris, JC and Joey are all homeless and live on the streets. JC is a street artist, Chris a busker, Joey sells newspapers, and they all live together in in shelters made of giant cardboard boxes. Lance and Justin are runaways they've just taken in. And wow, popstoryfinders story description or what?

Thanks go to ephemera_pop and vaudevilles. They both looked this over at short notice and gave good suggestions.

Check out bassez_day for more stories tomorrow. Not from me though, I'll be on a motorway somewhere *g*
