Shuffle shuffle

Photo by Rune T

I loved this meme when it did the rounds the first time, but was so technologically backward at the time I didn’t have an MP3 player to shuffle. Being elephant like, as I am, I never forget - so decided to do the shuffle today (with 1900+) songs on the mp3 player.

The idea is, you put your player on ‘shuffle all’, and use each song title to answer each question, in order - no skipping!

1. If someone says 'Is this ok?' you say...

Secret someones

Want to have a go?

Would love to see what you came out with.

In your dreams, like

Dreamt last night that I had a girlfriend, as well as my current boyfriend. Dream also involved climbing out of windows on ladders (the mysteriously bent double and meant I had to campus the ladder), lots of kissing, structures made out of scaffolding and some sort of escape from unknown assailant.

When I related the dream to my real life boyfriend this morning he didn't seem at all phased by the idea of sharing me with a dream girlfriend.
Excellent.

I rarely remember my dreams, but when I do they tend to be pretty weird. How about you?

Living on the edge

Home made scone with jam and a cup of earl grey. After work treat.
Accompanied by slightly blurry photos.

Unbelievable love

Is she flaring her nose?

Slain
By your zirconium smile
I was slain
By your olivine eyes
Slain
I was lying in piles
Hoping shovels would cast me

Furnaces burn everlasting
Black tattoos of you onto me
Furnaces burn everlasting
Black tattoos

Burn
Brand my memory
Black
A tattoo of you
Wash
Me with your mouth
Brackish bright water from your eyes
I'll homing pigeon fly
To hover by your window white and shy
Homing pigeon fly
To hover by



Spill
My ashes to the wind
Ghosts
Can gather what they've found
Now
We can struggle in the web
We can struggle
With white spider stars coming down
And night blowing black from the ground

I come bearing biscuits

"scoff, scoff, scoff" - oops, they're all gone.

This weekend I...

• ran 5 miles before 9am on a Saturday
• saw about 30 frogs having a mating frenzy
• inherited a cocktail dress with cocktail recipies on
• nearly bought a suit jacket
• got a carpet burn on the bridge of my nose while trying to win 'the box game' on the stairs
• was too hung over to balance
• went through my finger tips skin after pulling onto only 1 problem at Ramshaw
• wore the worlds biggest jumper
• fell asleep on the sofa

How was your weekend?

Phraseology

"equal ops all the way to the gutter"

I just used this phrase in a probably ill advised email exchange.
