A very dodgy looking guy just knocked at the door asking if he could take the old tumbler away. So I said yes. It saved paying for the council to get it anyway. Still, it just shows how visible our back garden is. Being the end house next to a path that serves the whole estate makes for many people walking past and looking in.

It was a nicely productive day yesterday. The usual relative visiting, then Corey's cabin bed was dismantled ( sniff ) and his room sorted. It now has curtains that actually match the walls and his stuff semi arranged. He's going to do the shelves himself and throw out or donate a lot of clothes and toys, which should hopefully free up space.

In fact, the whole house got a tidy, except when I was cleaning the bathroom floor I managed to flood the kitchen ceiling. Someone is coming out later to see if the light fixture can be saved, because it popped with one heck of a bang last night.

James was at a birthday party on Sat night and was getting teased about the fact that I didn't really exist because I don't go to meet ups with him. So he's decided we're going to have a party at our house for his birthday. A proper grown up party with food and guests and gah. So, the Saturday before the 1st of December, party at my house. If you're in the vicinity feel free to call in.

I saw this meme going around, so why not?

Step 1: Put your iPod on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 32 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!



(1) Don’t be so quick to walk away
(2) I just don't understand
(3) Hand in mine, into your icy blues
(4) Going through the pages of my fantasies pushing all the mercy down, down, down
(5) Tired of being what you wanted me to be
(6) I don't know what he does to make you cry,
(7) Baby, you've been going so crazy,
(8) Calling, distorting, reach the ends for you
(9) Last year's wishes are this year's apologies
(10) Everybody went kung fu fighting
(11) There you go
(12) At slow speed we all seem focused
(13) Last fire will rise
(14) You and I must make a pact
(15) Can I take your order please?
(16) It's a new day
(17) I am an arms dealer
(18) This is a public service announcement, this is only a test
(19) Tale as old as time
(20) Every day I wake up
(21) You fell away
(22) Would you be my girlfriend?
(23) Sick and tired of hearing
(24) I’ve been rockin since the 1900s
(25) Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
(26) Well you can hide a lot about yourself
(27) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
(28) You think you're special
(29) It seems to me
(30) To un-explain the unforgivable
(31) I heard you fall
(32) Everyone makes one mistake

Would you like whale sperm with that?

I suck at these memes. I recognize so many of them, but the names and artists flit out of my brain. I can sing parts of the songs, but not get the title and only sometimes the artist.

Still (22) is NSYNC, Girlfriend. That one is too easy. *g*


In conclusion: PARTY!!

I'm totally useless at lyric-guessing.

except when I was cleaning the bathroom floor I managed to flood the kitchen ceiling.

Ack! We did that when we were renting in Oxford, except that we washed the kitchen floor, and it caused the ceiling to collapse in the bathroom of the ground-floor flat below us. Luckily the guy who rented that was very understanding :-)

Dude, no. I'm totally the worst at this game.

Sadly, nope. That's not Nsync. It's a horrible cheesy song that I suspect was only released here. And if it was, you're lucky *g*

Me too. If someone put this list in front of me I'd have got none. Even if I'd listened to the songs only moments before.

It shouldn't be so easy to collapse ceilings, and yet it so is :(

Congratulations to a productive Sunday! It sucks about the ceiling though, I hope it's fixable.

I listen to such a small number of bands and I'm so bad at remembering lyrics I'm kind of jubilant to see several I know among these :-) Only one is still unknown though, 3. MCR: Demolition Lovers.

That would be "Supersize It" by No Refund! Which starts out with "why don't you drive through my heart" It took serious restraint not to bust out the dance when I worked at McDonalds.
