Lynne's

I have been meaning to blog about many things, but haven't because real blogging takes thought and time. Those things are: Red Cross & platelets - bad, Red Cross and CPR-good, teaching, my expanding waistline, time to photo Jazz again, my Dad, Live Wire, friends, The Godfather, The Academy Theater, daffodils, hypnosis, seeing people that I did not expect to see but glad I did because I really needed to see them, seeing people I did not want to see because I looked/felt liked crap. ya know, those times when you leave the house and say: Man I hope I don't run into anyone. It is like a curse.

Like I said, many topics and much time that I haven't been making. INSTEAD I did a meme. Yeah, it took time, but it was lazy thoughtless time. Plus I seem to be on a music theme so I couldn't resist. First seen here.

Musical Magic 8 Ball

OK, I am tired. The laundry better be dry. I need sleep.

I am intrigued by several of the things you've been meaning to write about. Specifically, the Red Cross bits. I am curious about those. I hope you get around to writing about them someday.

But, in the meantime, the meme was much fun to read! I'm surprised by your choice of funeral song, though I'm not sure why.

Nevermind. I read the instructions this time and then read it again. It all makes more sense to me now. (And you also taught me a valuable lesson because I ALWAYS skip meme descriptions/instructions; maybe I shouldn't.)

OK, now I did it, too:

1. How does the world see me?
Senoras y Senores. The Pinker Tones.

2. Will I have a happy life?
In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening. Rosemary Clooney

3. What do my friends really think of me?

4. Do people secretly lust after me?
When I'm Gone. Eminem

5. How can I make myself happy?
Freak Like Me. Macy Gray

6. What should I do with my life?
Chisholm Trail. Woody Guthrie

7. Will I ever have children?
Speed Trials. Elliott Smith

8. What is some good advice for me?
Novacane. Beck

9. How will I be remembered?
Stay With Me. Kate York

10. What do I think my current theme song is?
Honey Pie. Beatles

11. What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
Solitude. Dianne Reeves (Good Night, and Good Luck soundtrack)

12. What song will play at my funeral?
Moontide. O'Neill (Hamlet soundtrack)

13. What type of men/women do you like?
Things Have Changed. Bob Dylan (Wonder Boys soundtrack)

Yes, apparently, I have a million soundtracks in my iPod.

Did you cheat? Seriously, most of yours make some sort of sense. Also, no way we both got Macy Gray for the same song. You missed that one right?

No, I did NOT cheat. I didn't think my Things Have Changed really worked, but it was weird that the rest seemed to. (Except for Senoras and Senores. And maybe Chisholm Trail) Although, since I missed one, you'd have to move all of them up one. And my last one can be whatever is on my iPod when I start it on shuffle right now, which is...

Waltz of the Titans by Duke Levine. So, apparently, I like Titans. Heh.

I am sorry to keep filling your comments, but now that I've moved them all up one, Things Have Changed fits much better. So does Stay With Me. I like this better!

Funny that you now have Novacane and I have King of Pain for the kid question. HOw does this meme know that childbirth hurts?!

Guess we are BOTH hogging the comments.
Noticed your Kate York song - you heard her first on Womenfolk, right?

Yep. I am doing this silly meme on a Friday night.
