I got an idea for a meme I wanted to try, but discovered that other people thought of it before me. I'll do it anyway. :P I thought of it last night, when I found an old fortune cookie fortune. You know that game where you add the words "in bed" to your fortune? Well, it's fun to do that with song titles too! Just put your iPod or other music player on shuffle, then put down the titles of the first 25 songs that play, sticking "in bed" on the end.

1. Teenage lament '74 in bed.
2. All shook up in bed.
3. The key of "Eh?" in bed.
4. Superchicken in bed.
5. Perfect strangers in bed.
6. Gotta boogie in bed.
7. Like father, like clown in bed.
8. King Creole in bed.
9. Hold tight (want some seafood mama) in bed.
10. I remember Larry in bed.
11. The ghost and Mrs. Muir in bed.
12. Carrot juice is murder in bed
13. No one mourns the wicked in bed.
14. Me like hockey in bed.
15. Memory in bed.
16. Hound dog in bed.
17. Can't help falling in love in bed.
18. Big box store in bed.
19. Laurel and Hardy Laughtoons in bed.
20. The Hippopotamus song in bed.
21. An American trilogy in bed.
22. I yi yi yi yi (I like you very much) in bed.
23. 98.6 in bed.
24. Hullabaloo in bed.
25. Only you (and you alone) in bed.

Jumping on the bandwagon

LOL. I almost typed International Polar Bear Directorate instead of International Polar Year Directorate just now. *headdesk*

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 22:09:40 GMT

LOL!!!!!!! Here's a meme, ganked from senatorsfan

Google the phrase "(Your name) looks like" and find 4 of the best ones from the first page of results. DON'T FORGET TO PUT IT IN QUOTES, otherwise it won't work. After that, ask 5 of your LJ friends to do the same and see what will they get.

1. Genevieve looks like a freaking empress - *snicker*
2. Genevieve looks like Emma Watson - I don't think I do, but whatever!
3. Genevieve looks like she's wearing a shirt
4. Genevieve looks like a punk rockerrrrrr - It really is written that way.

Since you've either been tagged or done this already, I won't tag anybody. Do it only if you want to!

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:19:38 GMT

I was bored, so I decided to search for another meme I can do!

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every book title, character, couple type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Cheating is bad, but having the same song for Voldemort and Hermione is weird, so press next if you want.

Enjoy!

BOOK TITLES:

HP and the Philosopher's Stone: Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen) - The part that goes "I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me..." could apply to Harry's life with the Dursleys.

HP and the Chamber of Secrets: L'héritage (Mes Aieux) - Nobody's drunk father died, so it doesn't really work.

HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Hey Santa Claus (Bowser and Blue) - This one doesn't work either! Nobody was unhappy because they didn't get a bike for Christmas.

HP and the Goblet of Fire: The Mountie Song (Arrogant Worms) - *glares at iTunes*

HP and the Order of the Phoenix: Wild Thing (The Troggs) - There are lots of creatures in this book, so it kinda makes sense. Yeah...

HP and the Half-Blood Prince: Whispering Grass (The Ink Spots) - It could mean Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny keeping their feelings for each other secret.

HP and the Deathly Hallows: Stranger in Town (Del Shannon) - It's about a couple running from the "stranger in town." In a way, it could be everybody running from Voldemort.

CHARACTERS:

Harry Potter: Celine Dion (Arrogant Worms) - I didn't know Harry had a crush on Celine Dion! LOL.

Ron Weasley: La chanson du Scorpion (Les Colocs) - In the epilogue, he warns his daughter to stay away from Scorpius.

Hermione Granger: Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall (The Ink Spots) - She's had to deal with a broken heart.

Voldemort: Memories (Elvis Presley) - He must have some memories of good things that happened in his life.

Dumbledore: Particle Board (Arrogant Worms) - *imagines Dumbledore being obsessed with particle board*

Snape: The Addams Family (TV Themes) - This could work...

Draco Malfoy: Money Honey (Little Richard) -

Lucius Malfoy: The Next Question (Bowser and Blue) - What do Lucius Malfoy and Lucien Bouchard have in common? *is confuzzled*

Luna Lovegood: La Belle Époque (Marie-Annick Lépine) - It fits Luna's personality. Daydreaming about wonderful memories!

Neville Longbottom: The Ballad of Jebediah Springfield (The Simpsons) - Alrighty then...

Ginny Weasley: Oh, What a Beautiful Morning (Ian McIarnon) - She's happy!

Fred and George Weasley: Close Every Door (Clive Carter) - Maybe this is how George feels after Fred dies. Awwwww. *huggles him*

James Potter: Leave it to Beaver (TV Themes) - LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

Lily Potter: Things are Looking Bad for Santa (The Arrogant Worms) - Well, at least Voldemort didn't kill Santa.

Hagrid: Je Chante (Charles Trénet) - Hagrid doesn't go around singing about how wonderful life is. *pictures this*

Remus Lupin: Salut Mon Ron! (Les Cowboys Fringants) - Well, he does have a friend named Ron.

Sirius Black: The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase (The Simpsons) Let's see his family in a variety show! LOL!

Wormtail: Dear Old Shiz (Wicked) - OK...

Bellatrix Black: The French Chef (TV Themes) - I don't think I'd eat any of her cooking...

Fenrir Greyback: Repeuplons (Rock et Belles Oreilles) - He has to repopulate! We need more werewolves!

Dolores Jane Umbridge: Les Métiers (Passe-Partout) - She has a job. Not very good at it, but meh.

COUPLES:

Harry/Ginny: Christmas in Ignace (The Arrogant Worms) - They give each other rocks for Christmas?

Ron/Hermione: Madeira m'Dear (Flanders and Swann) - Apparently Ron has to get Hermione drunk before they can have madhawtsex.

Lupin/Tonks: A Real Letter from a Real Yahoo (The Arrogant Worms) - They like guns, I suppose.

Bill/Fleur: The Bionic Woman (TV Themes) - Fleur's bionic!

As you all know, I'm looking for a job. About a month ago I sent my resumé and covering letter to the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, and they sent me an email saying that, because they receive a large amount of applications, they can't contact every single person who applies. They select certain people and send them an application package. A few days ago, I got an application package from them! I know it doesnt mean I have a job (yet), but at least I know they'd be willing to hire me. Working in a school library is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I did field work in a school library last year, and I loved it!

My first Sims 2 story

Fri, 02 Jun 2006 01:33:46 GMT

I decided to try doing a legacy challenge, something I've wanted to do since I started reading challenges done by other people. You can see my story here

For some reason the pictures are smaller than they looked when I took them. Oh well. Anyway, I'll keep playing that family and posting updates!

This should be interesting!

Tue, 30 May 2006 01:20:38 GMT

Leave your name and:

1) I'll respond with something random about you.

2) I'll challenge you to try something.

3) I'll pick a colour that I associate with you.

4) I'll tell you something I like about you.

5) I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.

6) I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.

7) I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.

8) If I do this for you, you must post this in your journal.

Sims!

Wed, 24 May 2006 22:33:28 GMT

I finally have The Sims 2! At first, I had a bit of trouble with it. We have the latest iMac, which didn't exist when the game first came out (the Mac version came out last year), and I always thought that games would work on a computer that surpassed all the requirements. Well, when I installed the game, it was slow and froze every few minutes. I did some research, and found out that the problem was with the game, not the computer. The computer was too powerful for the game! I found a patch that would fix it, and now it works perfectly! I've been playing with the Goth family, just to practice before I make my own sims.

When I went into the house, Cassandra and Don were talking. I decided to have her ask him to move in, and then they tried for a baby. They got married after. A few days later, little Bella was born! Alexander turned into a teen, and I chose the popularity aspiration for him. You'd think he was a family sim, the way he always wants to spend time with his niece! I decided to hire a maid, because the family was constantly making a mess everywhere. It turned out to be Kaylynn, and I swear I didn't make Don do anything because I was trying to turn him into a faithful husband! He started firting with Kaylynn, then started crying while Cassandra and Kaylynn slapped each other. Meanwhile, Bella was lying on the floor watching all of this, until Mortimer came in and took her up to bed. When she became a toddler, Mortimer died. Cassandra and Alex were distraught, and almost died because they wouldn't eat. Shortly before Bella's next birthday, they were back to normal, and now everybody's happy. Cassandra and Don's marriage is still in trouble, but at least everyone's alive (except Mortimer *sniff*). Sorry I don't have pictures. I guess I was just too busy playing to think of taking pictures.

Customization

Tue, 09 May 2006 20:44:57 GMT

As you can see, I've customized my blog! I wanted to do something to represent the Arrogant Worms, so I used the colours blue, green and red. I'm a bit concerned about the red letters, though. I think it's easy enough to see, but I don't want to blind anybody! Oh well...

Thank you so much, Alice, for answering my questions yesterday! I just wanted to make sure I was going about everything the right way.
