Thoughts on a Friday and the lyric meme

Work whizzed by superfly fast today. We hired a new girl (WOW! We so totally needed another Jenn! That makes seven. This one even has the same last name as a Jenn we already have; spelled differently, though.) She's really nice and Casse and I had a fun time training her. Our off-the-wall weirdness and 12 year old vulgarity didn't scare her away. Looks like she'll fit right in. Also, she has a tattoo of the figure eight infinity sign. Add that to the fact that we had a cat coming in named "Mobius" and what do you get? The sign that I should get my butt in gear and get back to writing Eight Wave. I shouldn't really need more prodding than that, but, well, lazy cow.

Because of my stupid knee, I'm not going to Hula tomorrow and I'm not going to train, but I do have to be at Green Cloud to open the doors for those who are going to train. That's not till eleven, though, so I can sleep late, YES! Go, me! On my way home I'm going to get some pumpkins, which I will decorate and carve in the afternoon. Then I'll clean the bathroom and then take a long, hot bath. Maybe I'll get some ice cream and a movie. Screw eating Skinny Cow ice cream, I need Unconditional Chocolate! I'm going to have to spend so much of October and November being active and crazy (training, rock concerts, Hula seminar, and hopefully swimming with a 200 pound, 6' baby dolphin,) that I need to take the time now to stock up on essential fats that I might need later. ;D

Right, so that dolphin! We were talking more about it today. The opportunity is not open to the public, just a select group of people within the animal / volunteer circle. You need to either work at the place, work where I work or have over 500 hours of volunteer work under your belt. I do have more than 500 hours of volunteer work (uhh, every day of every summer and sometimes the rest of the seasons, too?) for the last seven years... But I'm not sure if that counts; it may be you need to have volunteered specifically at this foundation (I'm pretty sure that's the case.) And all I've ever done there was go to their fundraisers and occasionally help them X ray seals. ^_^ But still, I do have the chance to do it. It's open to a select group, but it's a BIG group that is invited and the people who work at the actual foundation get dibs. I really, really hope that I can get in on it. I've thought about it so much.

Oh, and those concerts! Jeremy can't come with me to Philly on Halloween. He's got to go to this training seminar for a managerial position where he works. I'll give him this: he moves up quickly in the ranks, because he's a hard worker. Sucks, though, because it would have been fun to go to the concert together. Ah well, but this is fine, too. I sort of enjoy traveling alone. It seems less worry when you only have to amuse yourself, and if you get lost, you've only gotten yourself lost. ^_~

Aaaaand, just because I feel like it, Le Jared:

OMG YOU CAN'T MEAN ME!! :D

ETA: The Song Lyric meme:

Ahhh, time for one of my favorite memes ever. This is the "name that song by the lyric" meme. Put your music player of choice on shuffle and look at the first 20 songs, then list a lyric from each song; try not to have the title of the song in the lyric. People on your f-list or passers-by must try to guess the song title and band. Googling is cheating. Here are mine:

1) "I found tomorrow in today / Apocalyptic and insane, my dreams will never change..." (One of my favorite lyrics ever written and sang.)

2) "High above the serpentine I cross below the well worn lines entangled in a missing memory..." (Song contains some of the best vocal work ever.)

3) "Only shadows ahead, barely clearing the roof / Get to know the feelings of liberation and release..." (Another favorite lyric of all time.)

4) "I want to stay with you / I don't want to play with you / I just want to lay with you..." (Sung over what is maybe the dirtiest guitar riff ever played.)

5) "In fact, you've doubled my pain / but it's plain to see, you're not to blame..." (This is a total "bow chicka bow" song. I kid you not.)

6) "The razors and the dying roses plead / I don't leave you alone / The demi-gods and hungry ghosts of God / God knows I'm not at home..." (OMG one of the best songs. Chills everytime.)

7) "So, tell me... is God really... gonna ride shotgun... over this... Huh?!" (Awesomely delivered line.)

8) "Bombs wired to my chest I'll lace the building with bugs / 'Cause you'll always be behind me slip-streaming my buzz..." (The drum machine is played almost as a melody in this one.)

9) "Io sono prigioniera / Watashi wo senaka kara dakishimete / Sasayaku anata no kuni no kotoba wa / Sukoshi dake setsunai romantiku / Anata no toriko..." (And I'm sorry this is a tricky one, but really, what song is in both Italian and Japanese? Anime geeks will get this in a second. It's been years and I still know every word. I love this sweet song.)

10) "And Man's a monster / He's a monster in his own time / He's a monster..." (Awesome spoken word over heavy rhythm. Neat poetry.)

11) "All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only see / That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be..." (Oh how I love to sing this one. Maybe someday if I get brave, I'll record myself doing this.)

12) "And so the time has come, it's here / The silence ends, change is near..." (Again with the awesome, rending scream.)

13) "It's the world on its knees / It's the heaven everyone seems to need / it's the Light / It's the focus that you cannot seem to find..." (This song has a total eargasm in it and it's right on that last line, true story. NO ONE will get this one. And I shouldn't even be posting it. [Slaps own wrist.] I vaguely suspect this is about Kurt Cobain.)

14) "And when you're feeling all down, the fairy will come around / so you'll be brave and not a sissy-coward." (Anyone who doesn't get this ... be gone. I don't know you. ;D )

15) "Come break me down / Bury me, bury me / I am finished with you / Look at my eyes / You're killing me, killing me / All I wanted was you..." (I mean, come on, how obvious. Everyone and their brother knows this song anymore. I purposely posted the chorus to see how many people will now have this song stuck in their head for the rest of the week. Enjoy that, now. ^_^ )

Okay, that was so lame. I only have fifteen songs that have actual lyrics in my computer anymore. I WANT MY OLD HARD DRIVE BACK.

Anyway, have fun.
