There are so many things I could be doing right now...

I could write you all an entry about my life. I could ramble about stress and relationships and sick cats and crazy teenagers. I could write the epic entry about teaching that I've been planning for a while now. But I won't. Instead I'm going to do that fun little music thing that Amy had on her blog.

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 40 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!Step 5: If you like the game post your own

1. "Pictures blurred in her head/Won't let them win/She'll make you come/Right back and let her in..."

2. "We're the same/we're five years old/Still trying to change this mold/In the open air I'm cold/No purpose/no reasons told..."

3. "I'm so confused by what I am and what I want, but I can't stand alone without your help..."

4. "I saw you yesterday your eyes were the color of some kind of gray, I hear what you're sayin' don't let me go I've got all these people down below..."

5. "Smile like you've got nothing to prove, no matter what you might do there's always someone out there cooler than you." (If you all don't get this one, I will disown you.) Thank you amy... Always someone cooler than you-- Ben Folds

6. "Childhood living is easy to do, the things you wanted I bought them for you..." amy Wild Horses- Rolling Stone

7. "Now I love my baby, and she's bound to love me some, yes I love my baby, and she's bound to love me some..."

8. "Got half a smile and zero shame, gotta reflection with a different name..."

9. "Running off over next door's garden before the hour is done, it's more a question of feeling than it is a question of fun"

10. "Wait in line, 'till your time, ticking clock, everyone stop" In The Waiting Line-- Zero 7

11. "Bottle up and explode over and over, keep the troublemaker below, put it away and check out for the day..." Jess- Bottle up and explode- elliott smith

12. "Do you want to know if everything glittering will turn into the gold I see in your hair..."

13. "So you think you can hold the world up by string, with all that you have, and I would hold every part of you that I could hold..." Jess- Brace yourself- Howie Day

14. "Give it to me baby, uh-huh uh-huh, give it to me baby, uh-huh uh-huh..." (Don't judge me for this song) Jess- Pretty Fly for a White Guy- The Offspring

16. "Let's try a new change, Let's try a new change, Let's try a new change then we'll go back to the old one like we've done so many times before."

17. "I bleached my hair just like Vince Neil, then you made me cut it like James Hetfield, we're gonna put an end to alternative rock..."

18. "If I had a million dollars, If I had a million dollars, well I would buy you a house..." Jess- If I had a million dollars- BNL

19. "Everybody wants an easy ride on the merry-go-round that we call life, take your drive on cruise control then you went to find it's a winding road..." Mary S.-- That's the way-- Jo Dee Messina

20. "I left my country when I was 19, 1925, and drifted to a town on the cuban coast met a woman who became my life..."

21. "Solitude stands by the window, she turns her head as I walk in the room, I can see by her eyes she's been waiting..."

22. "On nights like this, when the world's a bit amiss, and the lights go down across the trailer park..." Angie- Wig in a Box-- Hedwig and the Angry Inch

23. "I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots, that my tongue is tied off...

24. "Don't kiss me goodbye again, leave this night clean and quiet, you want the last word you want me to laugh but leave it for now." Jess- Goodbye until tomorrow/I could never rescue you- last 5 years

25. "Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks, or knackered Converse, or tracky bottoms tucked in socks..."

26. "Pull the hair back from your eyes let the people see your pretty face, try not to say anything weird."

27. "The good news out here on the highway is that the speed limit's just a suggestion, but the bad news alone on the highway is that I'm praying for two car congestion..."

28. "I was staring at the sky just looking for a star to pray on or wish on or something like that..."

29. "Well she was an American girl raised on promises, she couldnt help thinkin that there was a little more to life somewhere else..." Amy- American Girl-- Tom Petty

33. "Crazy how it feels tonight. Crazy how you, make it all alright love..." amy - Crush-- DMB

34. "On Christmas morning, outside was pouring, all was hopeless in this home."

35. "I meant it all and every part and every word right from the start, I'll never let this love fall in the middle..."

36. "Edna Million in a drop dead suit, Dutch Pink on a downtown train, Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot, I'm in the corner on the pouring rain..."

37. "Remember last summer when we had the chance to find each other start making romance, but it didn't come off 'cause you found another..."

38. "When they call your name will you walk right up with a smile on your face?"

39. "One question what can't be done? You tear me down with the same thing..."

40. "I am walking out in the rain and I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again and I am getting no where with you..."

This took me an hour to do... so you all better participate!
