tarotgalFirst off... Meg- I just wanted to say I am totally digging your LOST fic. I haven't given you a word of feedback about it yet as I'm so backed up... but I wanted to say I love it so far! Jack's adorable... you have the characterizations perfect... and Charlie... OHHH but I loved that!!! And Hurley. I have such love for that man *BG* But Charlie... oohhh that was a great chapter. Ah! But I love the whole thing. It's very shibby. Thank you for writing it and sharing it with us!!
Music meme gacked from Meg & Hermione:
1) Total volume of music files on my computer?
Oh gods... um... good question. *checks* I have at least 1,880 mp3s on my computer. That may not be all of them (there could be a few hiding), but I think that's the majority.
2) The last CD I bought was...
I totally don't remember. Most likely it was... no, wait, that was a gift. Umm... probably Barenaked Ladies' Everything to Everyone, even though that was, like, a year ago. I don't really buy a lot of CD's. Never have. I used to buy one or two a year even before the internet.
3a) The last song I listened to before writing this was...
Um... does 'Sexy Boy' (by, I think, The Kinky Boyz) at the end of the Queer as Folk episode I just watched count? Because it's the last song I can remember hearing.
3b) Song playing right now:
Nothing. It's silent apart from the tapping of keyboard keys.
4) Five songs I listen to a lot or that mean a lot to me.
Oohhh! This is easy *pulls out my favorite happy songs CD*
1. Affirmation by Savage Garden- my all-time favorite song now. I love every single bit of it from each and every lyric to the beats. Before I started listening to the LotR tapes in the car, I listened to this song twice a day without fail on the way to work and back. Made me feel SO happy and comforted and like D&D were just pulling my thoughts out and putting them to music. Of course the fact that I fell in love to it because of that QAF fanvid helps a lot.
2. Whiskey for my Men, Beer for My Horses by Toby Keith & Willie Nelson. By the same token, right after Affirmation on the CD was this song. And it's also because of my love for a QAF fanvid set to it. I really dislike country (apart from about 10 songs I fell in love with during my 7th grade country music phase that lasted a few months) but I love Willie and this song is so fantastic and got me through dreaded election day last November. Just like Affirmation, I listen to it twice a day at least... at top volume... singing at the top of my lungs even though I can't hit a single note in this song- LOL! I also have very amusing hand gestures/motions that go along with some of the parts of this song that I've gotten in the habit of doing whenever I listen to it, so that makes it really fun. But, yeah, it's all because of the fanvid.
3. All You Can Know by Steve McDonald- I adore this song so very, very much. It's hard for me to pick my favorite Steve McDonald song, but I think this is it. At the very least it's tied for first with 3 or 4 others. It says a lot of things I think are so very true and touches me very deeply just by its sound and music alone.
4. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen- I love Queen and have for the LONGEST time (well, at least since their music was used in Highlander) and I always love listening to their songs. This one- thanks to it being on an episode of QAF- has resurfaced on my playlist a lot more than usual. It's the Englishness of some of the lines... and the sexualness as well... and the fact that when I shout-sing it I can actually hit most of the notes! So I'm putting this on my list not because it's one of my absolute favorites, but it's a song I've listened to a hell of a lot lately.
5. Dust in the Wind by Kansas- Not one that I listen to a lot, but one that means a lot to me. I cannot listen to this song without crying, thanks to Highlander using it at a very emotional point early in the series. But it is also the song the planetarium guy at my high school used to close every show, and the song that made me strike up a conversation with a lad from high school who became like a son to me. So it has a lot of emotional significance.
And since I already have a playlist of almost all the songs on my computer put together... this is gacked from Aimee *sends her warm fuzzies right now*
Put your playlist on shuffle. Pick the first 10 songs that come up and add "in my pants".
1. Marvin Gaye- "Sexual healing in my pants" (yeah, too easy)
2. Aladdin- "A whole new world in my pants" (sounds like the title of a sick porn PWP I'd write)
3. RENT- "Goodbye love in my pants" (LOL!)
4. Presidents of the USA- "Cleveland rocks in my pants"
5. Mr. Mister- "Kyrie in my pants" (oh, that's just WRONG!)
6. Enya- "May it be in my pants" (LMAO! I think this is my favorite!)
7. Muppets- "Caribbean amphibian in my pants" (Ew! LOL)
8. Wolf's Rain- "Run, Wolf Warrior, run in my pants"
9. Stephen Lynch- "Priest in my pants" (Strangely, this is LESS sexual and dirty than the original song! Which, incidentally, is about sex with alter boys)
10. Limeliters- "Whiskey in the jar in my pants" (I find this one especially amusing for some reason)
Wow... this is like adding "in bed" to fortune cookies. It always seems to work... and have I ever mentioned I have very odd musical tastes?
