Found this one Brian A’s blog, thought I would share.

Go into your blog’s archive.
Find your 23rd post (or closest to).
Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.

I was just on my way to meet Mike for the first time when I wrote this:

But here I am, ready to take off to Halifax, spend the night in the Holiday Inn, and then fly to Texas in the morning.

It was a pretty happy time, that’s for sure! It’s always good to remember that summer, it was wonderful. Last summer was wonderful too, but nice beautiful beaches were missing. Oh well. I would say “at least I didn’t get sick!” but I had surgery, so you just can’t win.

Fun!

Only two of these didn’t apply to me, but since it’s all of Canada, then I suppose some things aren’t nationwide.

You Know You’re From Canada When…

You’re not offended by the term, “Homo Milk.”

You understand the phrase, “Could you pass me a serviette, I just dropped my poutine, on the chesterfield.”

You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.

You drink pop, not soda.

You know what a Mickey and 2-4 mean.

You don’t care about the fuss with Cuba. It’s a cheap place to go for your holidays, with good cigars.

You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.

You drive on a highway, not a freeway.

You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

You know that Casey and Finnegan were not part of a Celtic musical group.

You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.

You brag to Americans that: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion and many more are Canadians.

You know that the C.E.O. of American Airlines is a Canadian!

You know what a touque is.

You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced “Zed” not “Zee”.

You understand the Labatt Blue commercials.

You know how to pronounce and spell “Saskatchewan.”

You perk up when you hear the theme song from “Hockey Night in Canada.”

You were in grade 12, not the 12th grade.

“Eh?” is a very important part of your vocabulary and more polite than, “Huh?”

Winter. Whenever you want it. And then some.

There’s German food, Italian food, Chinese food, Armenian food, American food, but NO Canadian food.

You call a “mouse” a “moose”.

You like the Americans a little because they don’t want Quebec either.

Contests run by anyone other than the government have “skill-testing questions” that winners must answer correctly before they can claim a prize.

Everything is labelled in English and French.

Milk comes in plastic bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs.

Mountain Dew has no caffeine.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Canada.

This is going to take awhile to explain everything! Just so you know, no one got them all right. I’m astonished! Almost everyone got #10 which was false, and almost everyone picked #3 which was true!! :P So here we go!

1. I’ve attended two operas.
This is true, and although I enjoyed them both I would not have gone of my own free will.

2. Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday.
Duh! Christmas is my favorite holiday! Although I do enjoy VDay, there have been times in the past where it very much sucked.

3. I’m generally a very organized person.
I’m still appalled about how everything thinks I’m disorganized. My room might not be spotless, but my schedule and time is sorted out almost to the second. I have a day planner and everything! You people…

4. I like Impressionist art.
I LOVE Impressionist art. Hasn’t anyone noticed my Monet poster? I’ve also been known to mention an affinity towards Van Gogh.

5. My current Post-Its are light pink.
They are in fact purple, fushia, and neon orange. But I do have light pink ones somewheres.

6. I like to buy my postage stamps in bulk.
Yes, I do. I hate having to purchase a stamp every time that I mail a letter. It’s easier to buy a bunch at a time.

7. “Come What May” is my favorite song from Moulin Rouge.
No way! I’ve been known to say that this one is boring, compared to fast upbeat and fun numbers.

8. My power bar smells like stale beer.
In my freshman year, some jerks spilled beer all over it when they stole it for a party WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Oooh, I was pissed.

9. I hate candles.
Anyone who has seen me go over my Christmas gifts will no doubt have heard me say “another dumb candle”, usually from some relative who has no idea what to get me or what I like.

10. My CDs are currently alphabetized by last name.
They were at one time, but have since been completely disorganized, and right now I don’t much care :)

To sum it all up, 2, 5, 7, and 10 were false. Thanks for guessing! And now you all know one more thing about me that you just couldn’t go on living without knowing! :D

Following the Crowd, yo.

The feel of an ice cube melting over time

Music Game

Meags — Thu, 27 May 2004 08:39:20 +0000

On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favourite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.

1. “hey man, betcha can treat me right/you just don’t know what you was missing last night”
2. “with that slow southern style”
3. “i can’t move when you’re down on your scene”
4. “i want much more than this provincial life!”
5. “you never call baby when you say you will, but i love you still”
6. “and she’s watchin’ him with those eyes”
7. “how the music can free her whenever it starts”
8. “you were there by my side, always down for the ride”
9. (breaks rule)”why can’t we be friends! why can’t we be friends!”
10. “and if your heart surrenders you’ll need me to hold”
11. “a man walks down the street and says why am i so soft in the middle now?”
12. “i love you now like i loved you then”
13. “linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty”
14. “children get older, i’m getting older too”
15. “run with us, you are free”
16. “people all over the world, join hands, love train” (i’m getting lazy)
17. “lefou i’m afraid i’ve been thinking/a dangerous passtime/i know”
18. “no one can move me the way that you do/nothing erases this feeling between me and you”
19. “you always wanna get up and dance”
20. “little town/it’s a quiet village/every day like the one before”
