rants and ramblings of utter randomness

From mijan:

If I were a month, I'd be October.
If I were a day of the week, I'd be Wednesday, because I don't have to work on Wednesdays.
If I were a time of day, I'd be dusk, because it's dreamy and I'm a giant dreamer.
If I were a planet, I'd be Pluto (shut UP, it's a PLANET, okay?), because we both tend to be outside looking in.
If I were a sea animal, I'd be a dolphin.
If I were a direction, I'd be equal parts west and east, because I'm water and air in pretty equal proportions.
If I were a piece of furniture, I'd be a comfy couch.
If I were a liquid, I'd be mercury, without question.
If I were a tree, I'd be Acer saccharum, because they've been following me in one way or another since I was born and I figure I must have been one in a past life.
If I were a flower, I'd be a primrose, duh. Specifically Oenothera biennis, a.k.a. Evening Primrose. And I just found out that fireweed is a member of the same family, which makes me no end of happy. :)
If I were a kind of weather, I'd be a whirlwind.
If I were a musical instrument, I'd be a human voice.
If I were a color, I'd be emerald green.
If I were an emotion, I'd be empathy.
If I were a fruit, I'd be an apple. Because I like apples.
If I were a sound, I'd be a Cape Breton fiddle tune.
If I were an element, I'd be hydrogen.
If I were a car, I'd be a 1966 VW bus.
If I were a food, I'd be a potato.
If I were a place, I'd be Boston.
If I were a taste, I'd be salty.
If I were a scent, I'd be a freshly tilled garden.
If I were an object, I'd be a passport.
If I were a body part, I'd be a heart.
If I were a facial expression, I’d be a watery smile.
If I were a song, I'd be this one (which is also the Song of the Day!):

Canada day lyric meme answers so far, with fun songfile links!

( Don't look if you haven't guessed yet )

There's still a bunch more to guess (hence the cut). I'll post all the answers on the Fourth when I do the US version.

( more fun under the cut! )

And, wheee!

( 2006 meme )



Also, missapocalyptic? malnpudl?

I rest my case.






Oh, and,

Dear Rufus Wainwright,

Please make an album of Elton covers? Really, it'd be great, and it'd make me endlessly happy.

Love, love, love,

Me.

P.S. How are you so pretty?

Rufus Wainwright - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road



And another cover:

Indigo Girls - American Tune (live). The modern day national anthem, so it is.

"Oh, but it's all right
It's all right
We've lived so well, so long
Still when I
think of the road we're travelling on
I wonder what's gone wrong;
I can't help it I wonder
what's gone wrong"

*sigh*


I'll be doing the requisite 'what I got for Christmas' post soonish, along with some picspam meme stuff. I know y'all are on the edges of your seats in anticipation.

k.d. lang and the Reclines - Big Boned Gal

Thank you, thank you, patchfire. *plays over and over*

And okay, now I've got a slightly disturbing image in my head, thanks to songfile and current icon being utterly MFEO. I really, really wish I knew how to make vids.

moonlight69, could we make a date to figure out what's up in gunslingerland? Eddie needs to post, but I need to figure out logistics/timeline first. Maybe RP a little, too. Thankee-sai. :) karabou, also, if possible. I'll be available tomorrow evening after midnight my time. Also Wed. daytime. *hugs you both*
