What are you going to do with your tax return?
Submitted by KB.

 

me,

i've had my return for a few weeks, and i've known what i was going to do, but i've been lagging (as usual).  I'm going on a 18 day trip to London to visit my brother, and i'm going to try to visit a few other major European cities. yuppers!  i'm leaving around the 17th de Mayo and coming back around June 4th, just in time for my B-day Bash.

 

hopefully i'll run into hot chip, lily allen, amy winehouse, or M.I.A. walking around.  can't wait.

If you could write like one fiction author, who would it be?

hmm i'd have to say it's a tie between Nick Hornby and Stephen Chbosky.  I really like their styles, because of the flow, and ease of reading.  I enjoy the numerous pop culture & music references.  I do like these seemily nice guys finish last kinda books, which are kinda sappy, and are typical indie kid favorites, also they are heavily music-referenced books and Perks of Being a Wallflower has the emo phrase "and then i cried" about 30 times in it". 

The Best of the Smiths, Vol. 1

The Smiths

"What did you dream about last night?   "

 

I usually have trouble remembering dreams, probably due to my short sleep hours i hear.  So since i can't remember or maybe don't want to remember here are the lyrics to a Smiths song that jumped immediately in my head as soon as i read the QOTD.  I used to date someone that had a Morrissey pillowcase with the song title "Last Night I dreamt that somebody love me" on there with a big picture of Morrissey on there.  Damned if i didn't want that ish.  Feel free to hurl emo comments at me or behind my back. 

 

"Last Night I Dreamt that Somebody Loved Me" by the Smiths/Morrissey.

Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

So, tell me how long
Before the last one ?
And tell me how long
Before the right one ?

The story is old - I KNOW
But it goes on
The story is old - I KNOW
But it goes on

Oh, GOES ON
And on
Oh, goes on
And on

Have you ever met any celebrities? Any interesting stories?
Submitted by Tasha.

damn straight, i've spotted or been with people that have spotted celebrities.  Most interesting would be giving Rob Schneider fashion advice @ Wasteland on Melrose, holding the door open for Chrisina Ricci at Starbucks, and having JC Chasez sign a postcard to "Zack" (SBTB!).  Living in LA and going out a lot helps spot people i guess. 

 

damn, i really want this album, and even though it comes out in 2 weeks or so, i think i will pay the import price tommorrow.  i've had it in my hands 3 times, but i put it down each time.  silly.  the title of my post refers to Lily Allen's incorporation of that sweet ska riddim.  She even bites a special vocal delivery on a song, pretty sly, but you can't fool me Lily.

just picked this up over the weekend, about half way through it.  this book had me at the cover.
