Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 15 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating!

1. Someone tell the story, someone sing the song, every now and then the country goes a little wrong.
2. Nighttime softens, sharpens each sensation.
3. He's tall and he's dark and like a shark he looks for trouble.
4. Well I call it like I see it and you can never be it.
5. He's got your number now, he knows just what you done.
6. If you feel that it's real I'm on trial, and I'm here in your prison like a coin in your mint I am dented and I'm spent with high treason.
7. The minute you walked in the joint I could see you were a man of distinction, a real big spender.
8. Hey, Jen, I know what you're thinking, that now's as good as any to start drinking.
9. I thought love was only true in fairy tales.
10. I have sailed the world, beheld its wonders.
11. Will I lose my dignity?
12. Ask any of the chickies in my pen, they'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen.
13. You say you fell while holding diamonds in your hand.
14. When I wake up, oh I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you.
15. Got a good reason for taking the easy way out.

3. "There are 72,519 stones in my walls. I've counted them many times."
"But have you named them yet? "

4. "This is just so afro-tastic!"

Some Like it Hot: Christie

I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. "

14. "Now, you listen to me! I don't want any plastics, and I don't want any ground floors, and I don't want to get married - ever - to anyone! You understand that? I want to do what I want to do."
It's a Wonderful Life: Chase

15. "So like, right now for example. The Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, "What about the strain on our resources?" Well it's like when I had this garden party for my father's birthday, right? I put R.S.V.P. 'cause it was a sit-down dinner. But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was like totally buggin'. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, and squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier. And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you very much."
Clueless: Ali

"You know Amy, your selfishness causes a lot of problems for this family!"

"Don't blame me because Dad's mad at you, it's not my fault."

It's not my fault that you don't respect him or say thank you. you don't get to say i'm selfish. that's not fair. it's not my fault that you corner him into doing things and are so incredibly impatient that he storms out. it's not my fault that you never ask, it's not my fault that you always complain.




it's not my fault that you hate your job. it's not my fault that we moved here. it's not my fault that i like it here. it's not my fault that i'm going to leave. it's not my fault that i want to leave. it's not my fault that you work a lot or that your stressed or that your car is dirty.


it's just not my fault.

Ali I added another one:


so its Ribbett, Thatcher, and Flynn.


Flynn's a girl.

=)

We didn't go to palm springs.

My parents and I are sick. We thought my brother had food poisoning, but i think its a virus or something.

I think I had what Sarah Woo did.

I... can't stop shaking. it scares me.

My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to Ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me 'Sue.'


Well, he must o' thought that is was quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue.'

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man that give me that awful name.

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me 'Sue.'

Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' how do you do! Now you gonna die!"

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down but, to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said good-bye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's that name that helped to make you strong."

He said: 'Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you 'Sue'.'

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I come away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but sue! I still hate that name!

tomorrow i'm going to Santa Barbara. I'm so excited.

Not because we're singing or that I'm missing school or that I don't have to do any of my homework tonight.

I love long bus rides. I'm just going to listen to music and figure out my novel or do my spanish speech. and probably be social. I just like being able to think and relax and look out the window.

And the competition is canceled. I can't pretend I'm sad about it. We did a run through today and it was awful.

This weekend I went to Color-Me-Mine with some friends. It was so much fun despite me having a unsteady hand and being really indecisive. I picked it up today. I love the feeling you get when you use something that you made.

I'm actually really tired. I'm listening to the Last Five Years again. It's nice.


Adios.

So I'm thinking about maybe writing in this semi-regularly. (oh em gosh.)

I just feel so stupid writing things down that are so... mundane and just boring.

but I'm avoiding doing my history homework so you all get to read about it anyways.

I love late starts. I don't know anybody who doesn't. And the one class I didn't have today is the class that I have homework in.

I like color guard now. It goes back and forth. Today was fun. Michael is... the best. sometimes. I like performing and showing off and work that's fun. I hate drill. Like seriously hate it. I wonder what would happen if I didn't have a "." key... I would go crazy without the ellipsis(es).


And a song from Chase and Robbie's CD they gave me for my fifteenth birthday just came oN!! it's the one where Robbie is singing the "Banana Poet" song. It's like a minute long.

"The pear banana artist pear." or the "The poet pear banana artist... apple." Chase you really need to listen to that again.

And it took me about three minutes (literally, with dictionary.com and everything) to figure out how to spell 'pear.' yay.

So in conclusion... I like Teen Girl Squad.

I heard that the drama department's doing Assassins for their spring musical.


please don't let it be just a rumor.


!!!!

*sigh*


i just. i dont know.
