shame on you, you fool me once

So Memorial Day weekend, my mom and I are having a graduation party for her friend Jeff. Last Thursday was his last class. He now has an associates degree in business-something-or-other. The other day the three of us decided that we want to drink margaritas at the party. Jeff wants to kinda get drunk. Or just tipsy. I don't really know. But anyway... Last night my mom came up with a great idea. Make a mix CD of drinking songs. Then she added graduation songs. And then Dance songs. This is the list of songs she came up with. If anyone has any good ideas for other songs, let me know. Oh, and if anyone can tell me the name of the drinking song Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers played at Hampton Beach, that would be amazing. The chorus was something like, I'll bring the moonshine you bring the cups.

On to the list.....


Drinking Songs
Tequila Sunrise

Double Vision (foreigner)

Family Tradition (hank williams jr)

Bring Me Two Pina Coladas (garth brooks)

Graduation Songs

Graduation Day (beach boys)

Little Help From My Friends (beatles)

We Are The Champions (queen)

I Believe I Can Fly (r. kelly) (totally crossing this off the list)

Fly Like an Eagle (steve miller band)

Time of Your Life (green day) (pretty sure this one is supposed to say good ridance)


Dance Songs
Get The Party Started (pink)

Barbie Girl (aqua)

I'm Too Sexy

I Love Rock'n'Roll

YMCA (village people)

I FINALLY passed a kidney stone last night! YAY!

Actually, I think there were two.

My mom fished one out of the toilet and put it in my little sterile jar to take to the lab. I'm pretty proud of it. That sucker hurt and it looks bigger than 2mm. Altho I can't be sure. I'm thinking of taking a picture of it. Evidence of my pain. haha.


2 MORE DAYS TILL HANSON!


and possibly 3 until The Minus Scale, Sparks The Rescue, And Then There Were None, Too Late The Hero and many more.....I won't know till Sunday if I'm up for it, but I hope I am. Those are some really awesome bands. I haven't seen TMS or TLTH in forever. The last time I saw Sparks was when I went to see a free Hawthorne Heights show in Portland ME.... when Casey was still alive :( But anyway! The show is at five pm in Portsmouth. So that leaves 6 hours from check-out till the show. What the hell are we supposed to do with that?

In a meme I posted not too long ago (stolen from hansongirl97) I answered the question, Has anyone ever sang to you? as No. But in fact someone has.

I was thinking about it the other day. I went to the local high school's Lip Aid (a lip-sync fundraiser) one year and my friend Matt and his group of friends performed. They did something by New Kids On The Block. I'm thinking it was The Right Stuff but I can't be sure b/c it was over 5 years ago. So anyway, they were doing their thing which is always the most amusing thing ever, and they came up the aisles. I stuck my hand out to get Matt's attention. He stopped, took my hand, and sang the song to me. You could possibly say that was one of the best moments of my life.

It's a long story, but Matt is going to marry me someday.....he just doesn't know it yet. lol




[p.s.]

Am I the only one who's heard that New Kids On The Block are making a come-back? Also, am I the only one excited by this news?

I'm slowly eating away my iTunes cash that I got for Christmas.
I just bought another five songs.
One I bought b/c I just couldn't not buy a song called: I Get Nervous In Cars. lol
I now have a grand total of $7.09.
Now here's my list of new songs....

Woke Up Screaming by Lannen Fall

I Get Nervous In Cars by Therefore I Am

If You Could Only See by Tonic

I like that #8 is "Ironic" by Alanis :D

Bloodletting
By Medicated Kisses

I've exhausted my pen
just to pinpoint the where and when this all began
but all I can see is where my fingers did touch these keys
a mass of steel that brings
angels with beautiful wings
wrapped around me as they sang
"I will protect the infected in all you see"

first I could taste the poison in my tongue
spread to my lips with every word I spoke
inhale and exhale through my lungs
we're incubating and assisting a virus
here in the crow's feet and cracks of my face
we found a place to hide and keep my secrets safe away

while years passed by
and days passed on
light and heat reflected off of me
to burn and melt shapes of who I used to be
but don't get caught in what you saw
lesser men have died from what was growing inside
my fate I accepted I could not change
but no hospital
would have me
was this psychosomatic with no symptoms to diagnose?

alas I knew what was there all along
I could feel my insides burning
when my eyelids fluttered and my sweaty palms did stutter
locked all the doors, I hid under my sheets from the cracks of these streets that were beckoning me
I would stare into the back of my eyelids
the audience is listening so preach on, brother, preach
we can sleep forever now or wake up just to dream
all these voices told me that I was different I didn't wanna be
but when I look into my reflection now I’m loving what I see
I’m the miracle in the mirror! I’m the miracle in the mirror!

see if god can't judge me
neither can you
I was sent on a mission for the evil things I do
when all else fails
in case of emergency
take two lives and don't call anyone in the morning
apologies and misunderstandings could shed light on a fatal night
I lost myself when I lost that will to fight

So how can we:
fix what has been broken when the pieces remain unnamed, remain unnamed
two hands to my face I will wash the blame away
for I got caught in what I saw
the sky opened up and I gave my soul away
the sun pierced my flesh and I’d rather just erase the pain away

I know I have some My Chemical Romance fans on my f-list. So this is for you...or anyone else that feels like helping me. I added a Christmas song to my Facebook and it's MCR's version of All I Want For Christmas Is You. It's pretty amazing, or at least I think so. Of course, as my luck would have it, it's not on iTunes anywhere. And since I'm not good at the whole finding-music-downloads-thing, I was wondering if anyone had this song and wouldn't mind uploading it for me??? *puppydogeyes*
I would appreciate this beyond belief.


Thank you in advance,

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly. (I'm going to bold them)
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own!
