Blame elfs for this one. Create a faux “first album.” The rules are simple.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

This is my entry:

Yay, lesbians!

Give me at least 1 reason why I'm going to hell. Then, repost this meme in your own LJ and see what other people say about you.

“Take a look a your LJ friends list, then list up to ten things you want to say to ten different LJ friends… DO NOT state who these people are. DO NOT confirm nor deny any “comment speculation”. Then tag five people. “
There will be no tagging of others to spread things here.

1. I don't know you enough, but what I've seen so far makes you out to be a very interesting person.

2. You are a selfish person, who looks out for number one. You use the people around you only when it suits you and I've grown to hate how you affect those people who try to care.

3. I admire you for the strength of your character in overcoming so many odds and just jumping blindly in life always knowing you'll land on your feet.

4. I know family is important, but you need to live your life for you, not how you think they want you to live it according to their morals and standards.

5. You have more potential that you think, you just need to stop caring about what others think about you. Go out and see the world outside your doorstep, it'll change your life forever.

6. You have strong opinions and you live by them, so congratulations. Sometimes though, you come seem moralistic and preachy, so you might want to tone it down a notch.

7. Sometimes you come across as cute and quirky, sometimes you just come across as weird.

8. I sometimes regret not taking you up on your offer.

9. I don't understand your lifestyle and I sometimes think you're vain and superficial.

10. You are my rock, and I don't know what I'd do without you.

You scored as XIII: Death. Death is probably the most well known Tarot card – and also the most misunderstood. Most Tarot novices would consider Death to be a bad card, especially given its connection with the number thirteen. In fact this card rarely indicates literal death.Without “death” there can be no change, only eventual stagnation. The “death” of the child allows for the “birth” of the adult. This change is not always easy. The appearance of Death in a Tarot reading can indicate pain and short term loss, however it also represents hope for a new future.

A year in review

Try this one. Go back through your archive of 2005 and pick one post topic for representative of each month. Mine are:

January – My junk isn't jacked up.
February – Me? Absent-minded? Never!
March – Life as a “Clean Sweep” episode.
Apris – You need to fill in form VAF1…
May – My furniture saga unfolds
June – It's hot and it's wet, which is good in a woman but bad in a city.
July – No, this is not Phil's Taxi Service.
August – I can't have my pussy :(
September – The joys of passport control.
October – What to do when the people around you aren't feeling well.
November – I have met the Grogan clan today.
December – Housework sucks big sweaty donkey balls.

Looking back on this year, though a lot of good things have happened to me, its been a hard year for those I love. I hope the next one is better.
