What's new with me

[stonehenge1121]

So we've been getting the house ready for winter: furnace, screens out/storms up, rake leaves, etc., etc., etc.  And there are more classes at work (not to mention more OT being offered, since we're n00b-heavy at the moment).  So last weekend, what did I do?  You guessed it, I went to a Hallowe'en party (in costume, as a Twisted Fairy Tale even - The Big Bad Gay Wolf) at Rick & Tanny's.  I drank - hooo, boy, did I drink.  I found out that my tolerance levels are still *much* higher than is healthy.  But it was nice to get to chat with a few folks I don't get to see too often - Don the EMT, Crickett & Gary, MaryBeth, Mark & NJ.  Kate and I had a ball, and when we finally rolled home at 230 in the AM, the consensus was that a good time was had by all ...and then we stepped out of the warm car into the 30 degree night.  Whoo! Wide awake, and welcome to winter.

Oh, and because I'm bored have a quiz: I will post lyrics from 15 different songs. You identify them. Hint: They may not necessarily be the first line. Just saying. Idea stolen from

1. I've witnessed your suffering/As the battles raged higher [Dire straits: Brothers in Arms] jaydecrow
2. My sails are blowed and torn, been laid down wet -- Need all the mending that they can get. [The Pyrates Royale: Blowe'd and Torn] dawntreader90
4. His body was battered, his world was shattered/ And all he could do was just cry.
3. Fill my heart with song/ And let me sing for ever more [Frank Sinatra: Fly me to the Moon] eidolana
5. I’m a zero/ I’m a hero/ I’m the butt of the worst joke in history [Bad Religon: Incomplete] ladychaos
6. Down, down, down you’re rollin/ Watch the blood float in the muddy sewer
7. And when you’re next to me/ I can feel your heart beat through my skin 
8. Well I’ll know right away by the look in her eye/ She harbors no illusions and she’s worldly-wise [Marshall Crenshaw:Cynical Girl] ladychaos
9. I stared you in the eye/ and told you good-by
10. Come inside, it’s a passion play just for you/ Lets get lost in that magic place all alone now
11. Some people go to church on Sunday, others they pray at home/ You tell ‘em that there ain’t no god and you’re better off standin’ alone
12. I too am lost, I feel double-crossed/ And I’m sick of what’s right and what’s wrong [Bob Seger: Roll me Away] jaydecrow
13. Mama Cried herself to sleep/ Lost a dad I’d never seen
14. Oh the heads that turn, make my back burn/ the sparkle in your eyes, keeps me alive [The Cult: She Sells Sanctuary] jaydecrow
15. With a dollar in my hand/ And an aching in my heart/ And my pockets full of sand/ I’m a long ways from home [Gordon Lightfoot: Early Morning Rain]

Is #3 Fly me to the moon by Frank Sinatra? I'm a Frank fan and it sounds familiar

BTW can't wait to see you both!! You guys are the best!

Oh, thank goodness you knew that one! I checked the comments to see if someone did, 'cause I read the line and it sounded so familiar but I couldn't place it in context. That was going to bother me for ages!

I'm usually not good at these but I had a job that only played frank, I didn't mind but the customers complained..lol.

2. Blowed and Torn! by uh... Pyrates Royale i suppose!

8. Amanda? Boston?

[stonehenge1121.livejournal.com]

#2 yes
#8 no. It's a fairly obscure song to be honest.

[stonehenge1121.livejournal.com]

And I knew that only my MDRF friends would get #2. I've never heard it anywhere else

[lady-chaos.livejournal.com]

In no particular order...

8. Marshall Crenshaw - Cynical Girl? It sounds like a song I got on a mix tape from one of my friends...
5. Bad Religion - Incomplete! I <3 Bad Religion...need more of their stuff.

I think that's all I got. Some of these sound awfully familaiar, though.

Also? Fly Me to the Moon is one of my favorite songs ever, and one of my favorites to sing, as well. I <3 the Rosemary Clooney version. ^^

Props to you; I didn't think *anybody* would get Cynical Girl! Bad Religon is good stuff, and I absolutely love to sing Frank's version of 'Fly Me' ...actually I just like to sing Franks songs!

15.With a dollar in my hand/ And an aching in my heart/ And my pockets full of sand/ I’m a long ways from home
--The song is definitely Early Morning Rain... but which artist do you have?

[stonehenge1121.livejournal.com]

Gordon Lightfoot. That's a great voice.
