the song lyrics survey.
By troisieme | March 3, 2008
So I answered all the questions with song lyrics, and I just had to add it to this site so I’ll have a record of it even after myspace kicks the bucket, as i feel it inevitably will.
Answer each question with lyrics from a song; any song you want. (Per Paddles challenge, Ive answered each question first with lyrics from a showtune/broadway musical, and then with lyrics from a regular song. Took forever!)
1. Are you male or female?luck be a lady tonight (guys & dolls)
the southern girls//with the way they talk//they knock me out when Im down there (beach boys)2. Who are you? She lightens my sadness//She livens my days//She bursts with a kind of madness//My well-ordered ways// She bubbles with pleasure//She glows with surprise//Disrupts my accustomed leisure//And ruffles my ties. (a little night music)
So I’m a little left of center//I’m a little out of tune//Some say Im paranormal//So I just bend their spoon//Who wants to be ordinary//In a crazy mixed up world//I don’t care what they’re saying//As long as I’m your girl. (michelle branch)
3) Describe your neighborhood.
The sun is shining//It’s a lovely day//a perfect morning//for a kid to play//but you’ve got lots of bills to pay//what can you do?//You work real hard//and the pay’s real low//and ev’ry hour goes oh, so slow//and at the end of the day//there’s nowhere to go//but home to Avenue Q! (avenue Q) i’m rocking the suburbs//just like michael jackson did//i’m rocking the suburbs//except that he was talented//ya’ll don’t know what it’s like//being male, middle class and white//it gets me real pissed off and it makes me wanna say fuck . (ben folds)
4) How do you look?
tits! And ass! Got myself a fancy pair! (a chorus line) (kidding, obviously) I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket. (cake)raven hair, ruby lips//sparks fly from her fingertips. (eagles)
5) What is love?
thick and thin//tears and laughter//gimme happy ever after//gimme gimme that thing called love. (thoroughly modern millie) love bites//love bleeds/its bringin me down to my knees. (def leopard)
Belief makes things true//things like you, you and I//Belief builds from scratch//Doesn’t have to relax//It doesn’t need space//I’m gonna yell it from the roof tops//I’ll wear a sign on my chest//That’s the least I can do, its the least I can do (gavin degraw)
6) If you could say one thing to the person you love, what would it be? Ill give you stars & the moon and a soul to guide you//and a promise Ill never go//Ill give you hope to bring out all the life inside you//and the strength thatll help you grow (songs for a new world)
Wow, look at you now//Flowers in the window//Its such a lovely day//And Im glad you feel the same//cause to stand up//Im in the crowd//You are one in a million//And I love you so//lets watch the flowers grow//There is no reason to feel bad//But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad//Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold//But I am here to help you with the load. (travis)
7) What’s your secret?
I like to have a man for breakfast each day//Im very social & I like it that way (jekyll & hyde) (kidding. Very, very kidding.)
My heart can’t possibly break//When it wasn’t even whole to start with. (Kelly Clarkson)
Are you strong?
The courage to serve them with reliance//Face my mistakes without defiance//Show them I’m worthy//And while I show them //I’ll show me (the sound of music)
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A//I had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th//Had myself a lover who was finer than gold//But I’ve been broken up and busted up since//And love don’t play any games with me//Anymore like she did before//The world won’t wait, so I better shake//That thing right out there through the door//Hell, I still love you, New York//Farewell to the city and the love of my life//At least we left before we had to go. (ryan
9) Where do you wish you were right now?
somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue//And the dreams that you dare to dream//really do come true//someday I’ll wish upon a star//and wake up where the clouds are far behind me. (the wizard of oz) (does that count as a showtune? I say YES.)
With a little bit of money we could buy us a car//With a little luck we could get away from where we are//Let’s get outta here//We’ll drive 1000 miles an hour //We’ll fly by wheat fields and water towers//We’ll go, we’ll go, and we’ll go, and we’ll go//Let’s go. (ok go)
10) What do you think about your best friends?
525,600 minutes//how do you measure, measure a year?//In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee//In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife//It’s time now to sing out//tho the story never ends//let’s celebrate remember a year in the life of friends//
Remember the love! (rent)
have I told you lately that I love you? (Michael Bolton) heh.11) Any words of advice?
If you don’t talk happy//And you never have dream//Then you’ll never have a dream come true! (south pacific)
Forget regret//or life is yours to miss (rent) Nothing unusual//nothing’s changed//Just a little older that’s all//You know when you’ve found it//There’s something I’ve learned//’Cause you feel it when they take it away//Something unusual//something strange//Comes from nothing at all//But I’m not a miracle and you’re not a saint//Just another soldier on a road to nowhere (damien rice)
12) What do you wish you were doing right now?
Come taste the wine//Come hear the band (cabaret)
I wanna getcha home and unh, double up, unh unh. (sir mix-a-lot) Let me sing you a waltz//Out of nowhere//out of my blues//Let me sing you a waltz (julie delpy)
13) What do you think about drugs and alcohol?
Bisexuals, trisexuals, homo sapiens//Carcinogens, hallucinogens, men, Pee Wee Herman//German wine, turpentine, Gertrude Stein//Antonioni, Bertolucci, Kurosawa//
Carmina Burana. (rent)
Let’s not fool ourselves in vain//This far away trip will give us pain (julie delpy) 14) If you could say one thing to your enemy what would it be?
were not sorry//hey, thats life. (urinetown the musical)
youre crazy//youre a lovely person//youre a moving, deeply maladjusted//never to be trusted//crazy person yourself. (company)
you know you could//i wish you would//come pick me up//take me out//fuck me up//steal my records//screw all my friends behind my back//with a smile on your face//and then do it again. (ryan
15) What do you usually do on Friday nights?
When a Broadway baby says “Good night”//It’s early in the morning//
(
Why can’t you be with me//Watching American TV//We’ll order in Chinese//And ask the world to stay away, please. (Leona naess)
16) Are you for World Peace?
A world that’s far away//Where life is not unkind //The movie in my mind (miss saigon)
It’s a war on war//It’s a war on war//It’s a war on war//It’s a war on war//It’s a war on war//It’s a war on war//It’s a war on war//There’s a war on//You have to lose//You have to learn how to die//if you want to want to be alive, okay? (wilco)
17) What would you do if you won a million dollars?
I could have a mansion on a hill//I could lease a villa in
Baylor: People, in their own sweet way//Like to add a coat of paint//And be what they ain’t//It’s society’s mask//It’s society’s way//And the truth is that it’s all a facade! (jekyll & hyde)
Hunter:Darlin, I love you, but give me
Some days I wake up early to watch the sunrise//and I think how beautiful it is//and how my life lies before me//and I get a very positive feeling about things// (youre a good man, charlie brown) Cause if I find//If I find my own way//How much will I find//If I find//If I find my own way//How much will I find//You. (joseph arthur) Puisque ma vie n’est rien//alors je la veux toute.//Tout entière//tout à fait et dans toutes ses déroutes//Puisque ma vie n’est rien//alors j’en redemande//Je veux qu’on m’en rajoute//Soixante petites secondes pour ma dernière minute. (carla bruni)
20) Any closing words?
I don’t know why people run//I don’t know why things fall through//I don’t know how anybody survives in this life//Without someone like you (the last 5 years) Laugh when I feel like it//Cry when i feel like it//That’s just how my life is//That’s how it goes//Oh watch me go//I’m a happy girl//And I’ve come to know//That the world won’t change//Just ’cause I complain//Let the axis twirl//I’m a happy girl (martina mcbride)

is it just me?
By troisieme | February 23, 2008
or should people who take out their miserable lives on innocent bystanders stop being huge-ass losers?
ok. i am way fucked up. i’m sure you are, too. i’m pretty sure most of us are, in one way or another, for one reason or another. some of you know my reasons. but do i go around my everyday life trying to make everyone around me miserable? no. i try to keep my crazy to myself, and i’d appreciate it if everyone else did the same. seriously. what. the. fuck?
this is especially irritating when it’s someone you must work with on a daily basis and is convinced that you report to them and must run every thought you have by them before thinking it. what. the. fuck.
and now c & i will watch six feet under, because i lurve, lurve, LURVE that show. i heart it so dang much. did i mention he gave me the boxed set for Christmas?
did i mention i came close to murdering a child at school yesterday? no? well, it’s times like these when you’re reminded why it’s a bad idea to use full names on the internet.
peace.

crazy passive aggressiveness.
By troisieme | January 28, 2008
i. am. so. sick. of. my. mother. just when things seem to be going well, she’ll come back with the crazy again. seriously–it is always something. after basically pitching a hissy fit at dinner saturday night–in public–she has now informed me she wants to come see me some night this week to “talk.” um…NO. big no. i don’t have time, #1, and #2, i REALLY don’t have time for your shit. or your freaking mind games and manipulation. so no is the answer to that question. great. just great.

the one where i share too much personal wedding information…
By troisieme | January 27, 2008
so. the wedding. is in less than 5 months now. WHOA. we’ve made lots of progress recently, but here is a list of things i have yet to do:
1) buy paper to make invitations
2) buy paper to make programs
3) pick out bridesmaid dresses/order
4) pick out something for my dad to wear (he can’t be left to his own devices in this area)
5) order tables & chairs from the rental company
6) reserve some rooms at the hotels nearby
7) add the “travel/hotel” info. to our “wedding website”
MAKE the invitations & programs
9) attend approximately 18 bridal shower/lingerie shower/luncheon/bachelorette/dinner party events in C & my honor.
10) eat some ben & jerry’s
oh, that’s not for the wedding, that just for my sanity, as soon as i finish this entry.
oh ok, so i’m gonna try to post some pics of the wedding locale & other junk you may or may not be interested in! we’ll see how this goes. (usually kind website hosting fellow blogger friend matt has to fix it–i’ll do my best matt).
Generic engagement photo for newspaper:
Not the dress (need bigger boobs for this one):
Also not the dress (but similar):
Us at Christmas:
Picture this: the aisle will go straight ahead, leading to the arch/arbor where ceremony will take place, and rows of seats on either side:
The view of the house from where ceremony will take place:
The gazebo, where C & I will be sitting at the reception:
Another little mingle/conversation area by brick fireplace:
Another view of the house:
Can’t post a pic of my ACTUAL dress because I’m afraid C would find it! He’s a sneaky one!
OK, gotta actually like grade some of the 18 sets of papers I have to grade now. I HATE grading papers more than most ANYTHING. God help me.
And goodnight.
