More music fun!

I was late to my advising meeting so I have to go at 2 tomorrow instead. Oh well.

To kill time because I don't feel like getting started on actual work just yet, I'm going to do the iPod shuffle lyrics thang again.

-"..." signifies that the song title in portion or in full was removed.
-Comment with the number, title, and artist.
-If you know the album you get double points.
-If you have the right title but were thinking of a different artist's version, I'll give it to you.

1. I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star to pray on or wish on or something like that.
Fiona Apple - Paper Bag a_t_and_love

2. Steve -- Joanne. The Murget case? A dismissal! Good work counselor.
Rent - We're Okay novawolf

3. ... Found her at the end of a chain. Time to race, she said, race the downhill.
4. ... There's a song on low, and your mind just picked up on the sound.
(skipped two without words)

5. "I think you know this fucking song." Have you ever been close to tragedy, or been close to those who have?
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get u_wanna_bet

6. She had nut-painted arms, they were hers to keep, and in her fear she sought cracked pleasures.
7. Mama she done told me, she don't like this rock and roll, but Mama, Mama, please Mama, you just don't know.
8. The things you do aren't good for my health. The moves you make, you make for yourself.
9. "I am reminded at this point of a fellow I used to know whose name was Henry, only to give you an idea of what a individualist he was, he spelled it H-E-N-3-R-Y. The three was silent, you see."
-There's a lot more talking but the actual song starts:
When you attend a funeral, it is sad to think that sooner or'l, later those you love will do the same for you.
10. Oh yeah! Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition. ... in the street. Oh yeah!
11. Straight from the shoulder, I think like a soldier, I know what's right and what's wrong. (He knows what's right and what's wrong.)
12. When I see you sky as a kite, as ... as I might, I can't get that ...
13. I was born to two immigrants who knew why they were here. They were happy to pay taxes for the schools and roads.
14. ... It takes me out a walkin' when I'd rather stay at home, takes me out to parties when I'd rather be alone.
(skipped one without words)

15. I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half-past dead. I just need some place where I can lay my head.
Alex, Hugh, Kate, Livingston and James Taylor - The Weight u_wanna_bet

16. If you stopped here for a smile, it's best if you keep on walking. All you will see are these sad eyes.
17. There was a guy, an under water guy who controlled the sea -- got killed by ten million pounds of sludge from New York and New Jersey.
18. My dad's always there to open all my doors--you have to call a Patronus to catch a glimpse of yours.
(skipped two that were pretty much only the title, some Wagner, and a Taylor Mali)
19. ... Why you lookin' at me? ... Why don't you climb that tree?
20. I've seen love go by my door -- it's never been this close before, never been so easy or so slow.

I've got "class" at 11 which I may or may not stay for depending on how I did on my quiz/homework. Then I'll eat something and go to my next class. Then I will write my paper for at least two hours, see Liz for food when she gets off work, and then sleep. If I'm not done with my paper in those 2+ hours, I'll wake up again in the evening and do more work.

John apparently got the same graduation present I did, part of it anyway--money for a trip to Europe. He wants to go to Italy with Evelyn, but there's something going on with that? So it'll either be my brother and his girlfriend traipsing around Italy, or my brother stalking Italians. So what am I going to do with my money? I have no idea. We went to France with Bridget and it was great but she'd been my best friend for four years and we were what, twelve? I don't know if I have any friends now that I can just be like "hey...let's go to Europe" and we'd go and it would be great. I don't even remember what the arrangement was supposed to be...it was something like airfare for me and the other person and expenses for me, but the other person would have to pay the rest of theirs. So it's not like I can just pick someone out of a hat. I could always go somewhere in the US that I haven't been.

I don't know. My parents are just getting on me to use the money now that John will be using his, and I don't like that kind of pressure. I don't get enough sleep to think about this right now. And, of course, whenever I come up with ideas I'm still expecting that slap in the face. Did you see me cringe?

I could go visit Alex. That would actually be fucking awesome. But again, who would I take? It's not like my French is worth anything anymore, so England is kinda the most practical. But how are my parents going to take "I'm going to mosey over to England now to hang out with Alex and his piratical mates, and Nathan and Sophie. No, I've never met them in person, but--" Yeeeah, that's about how far that would get.

Anyway. I've slacked enough, I have class, and it looks like there'll be a class in here at 11 as well so I'd better get going. I'll think. If anyone has any suggestions or any burning desires to go somewhere (Pipe, Wyoming? lol.), I'll consider it.

P.S. Happy Beltane! I forgot until the teacher of the class that is in here now started talking about May Day traditions. ...I should probably go.
