Happy New Year! I've just finished work for the evening (Holiday season? *hollow laughter* Isn't it more normal to work extra hours at this time of year?) and thus, I feel like... a meme. Because memes are truly the best cure for work, or something. ;)

Ganked from tanizard, because my two New Year's Resolutions are: get down to weighing 65 kgs; and write more. So.
Set your iTunes or WMP playlist to random and list the first line of the first twenty songs. Have the members of your flist guess the song. NO CHEATING. When you correctly guess a song, I will write you a drabble of any pairing you choose (within reason - it would be helpful, for instance, if I knew who they were), using that lyric as a prompt (or not, if you prefer).


1. "Can't buy me loooove!"
The Beatles, Can't Buy Me Love; lady_larla and bad_mushroom. :D
2. "See the pyramids along the Nile, watch the sunrise from a tropic isle,"
Jason Wade, You Belong To Me; blueyeti
3. "There's a story I know, we all live and let go,"
Goldenhorse, Maybe Tomorrow; miriamus
4. "Have you ever wondered where the story ends, and how it all began?"
The Corrs, "Would You Be Happier"; selina_fox
5. "Sometimes I get to feeling/I was back in the old days, long ago."
6. "You're just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off of you..."
10 Things I Hate About You soundtrack, Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You; light_ring
7. "My love, he left town, with a smile on his face."
8. "Me with the floorshow, kicking with your torso,"
Robbie Williams, Rock DJ; miriamus
9. "Sometimes I feel like I should not be living here, feeling Shostakovich."
Elemeno P, Urban Getaway; mandor700
10. "If I make a mark in time, I can't say that mark is mine."
Cat Stevens, Tuesday's Dead; sixth_light
11. "Left uninspired by the crust of railroad earth-"
Death Cab For Cutie, We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes; claystarling
12. "Packing my bags, gone away, to a place where the air is clean-"
13. "Come and meet those dancing feet!"
14. "If I have weaknesses, don't let them blind me, camouflage all I am weary of."
Paul Simon, Rhythm of the Saints; light_ring
15. "She looked me over and I guess she thought I was alright."
Paul Simon, I Know What I Know
16. "Gee but it's great to be back home!"
Simon and Garfunkel, Keep the Customer Satisfied; sixth_light
17. "What good is sitting alone in your room?"
Cabaret, Cabaret; sixth_light
18. "Listen as your day unfolds."
Des'Ree, You Gotta Be; blueyeti
19. "I said 'PLEASE, Mr Bankman, I need ten grand to buy me back my car!'"
20. "It's now become the saddest story, I was never worth the worry, not that you would notice anyway..."
Bic Runga, You; mandor700

Go team. ;)

[mandor700.livejournal.com]

I weigh 62 lol, i want to weigh 75. Happy new year!

[claystarling.livejournal.com]

I know 11! I just listened to all my DCFC songs to find it, too. We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes!

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

hahah I thought no-one would get that! :P on mine it's actually called "title track" which I thought was a bit absurd but never mind,

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

oh yeah, what drabble do you want? Um, fandoms, HP, YW, Bruno and Boots, DC, sort of, um... can think of couple of others as well... give me a prompt :)

[kuril.livejournal.com]

too much work for a vodka drenched common person like me.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

ah well, come back when you're sober ;)

[blueyeti.livejournal.com]

2. You Belong to Me. by... Jason Wade.
18. You Gotta Be

That's really really good for me. I know no music at all.

Happy New Years!

(I typoed that, but decided to leave it in because it's a lot better than just a single happy year.)

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Well done!! Drabble/pairings?

Happy New Year :)

[lady-larla.livejournal.com]

1. Can't buy me love- Beatles

(squints at the rest of the list and then gives up...:))
Happy New Year!

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

*thumbs up* Happy new year! Pairing/theme?

[bad-mushroom.livejournal.com]

Eh. The only one I know is "Can't Buy Me Love" (*loves the Beatles*). #12 seems familiar, but I can't quite place it, and I'm sure there's a Bic Runga or two on there but I usually fail at these things x_x

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

You gets a drabble for #12 ANYWAYS, because I have totally failed to produce any Dairine/Roshaun. :D

In the years after Roshaun leaves (but she's afraid to think of it as leaving, sometimes people leave and never come back, and she's not Nita, she knows, not used to it. She can't farewell everyone with a smile and a tear and know she'll see them again; she believes, she does, but she fears as well, and too much) she travels more than even she might have predicted. After her Ordeal, she'd always known she'd go back out there again, where starfire burned red and cold and ancient, so far away; she'd occasionally dreamed of travelling the million million known worlds, after school, maybe before college. A wizard can always find something to do somewhere they want to go. But she'd never thought she'd be following her wizardry throughout the universe, had imagined bringing her Art with her like a briefcase stuffed with tools; not driven through the galaxies by it, stopping briefly, for a day or a week, never more.

She learned about tracking, about dreams, about listening very hard; and she slept hard, too, every night, trying to get back to Roshaun's perfect place, trying to find a clue. When she managed it, the first time, she thought she must be close; and she was closer, but still not close. Dairine had never let herself be deterred by false optimism but it was hard to go on, and harder; but she told herself that meant she was closer, and kept going, pretending not to miss her home, her roots, her staying in one place.

When she found him, long years after she started, she told him she always knew she'd find him. And she had and she did but she didn't know that when They were always picking her up and taking her away again. She can't help thinking it's unfair, that she's been cheated; spent so long looking for something she forgot how to take care of it, keep herself with it; but Roshaun needs his roots, and she still can't stay.


Uh. sorry. *wince*

Happy new year to you :D It's no big deal working on New Years Eve if you get time and a half, I guess :D

I haven't seen this meme in an age, but cross them off when they're guessed, girl!!

3. Goldenhorse - Maybe Tomorrow
6. I can't remember who that one's by but I know it!!! ahaha.
I'm SO sure number 8 is a teeny song of the sort I used to listen to in year 6 and 7. But I don't remember it.
I know 12 as well, and yet I don't.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

LOL I know, I was going to but forgot. Anyway. Yes, Goldenhorse- and you probs DO know all the other ones (8 is, like... well, if it was pretty much ANY other line I think everyone would have got it. It's just that the first line is random. :P) 12 is kind of unusual though.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

PS: pairing/fandom? Preferably something I recognise...

[mandor700.livejournal.com]

9. Urban Getaway- Elemeno P
20. You - Bic Runga

Merry New Year!

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

[sixth-light.livejournal.com]

10. Tuesday's Dead, Cat Stevens
16. Keep the Customer Satisfied, Simon & Garfunkel
17. Cabaret

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

[rewihendrix.livejournal.com]

12. I know what i know (is that the name of the song?) paul simon

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

yes and yes :)

[light-ring.livejournal.com]

Hi, I found your journal from your Theo and Anne stories on fanfiction.net, and then got here and can never resist this meme! I guess the point is - I love the Theo and Anne stories, and 14) is Rhythm of the Saints, by Paul Simon, and I don't know what 6) is, but I do know that Heath Ledger sang it while dancing on bleachers in the movie 10 Things I hate About You. I'm not sure whether I'm proud of recognizing that or not.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Hi there! :D thanks for dropping by and being so flattering ;) I should mention, though, that I only wrote one or two Theo and Anne ficlets- the girl who wrote most of them, Elsha, is [info]sixth_light :D

Also, you are SO AWESOME for getting #14; I really, really love that album a lot, and I still don't think I would have got that one. you're also totally right about #6, and how much do I wish I had that recording? I have a secret adoration for that movie. :P

...and, drabble. *cracks knuckles* Have you read HBP? because I have a little picture in my head, but it's spoilerific.

[selina-fox.livejournal.com]

#4. Would You Be Happier by The Corrs

*waves randomly and disappears*

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Correct! Can I offer you a drabble? :)
