I was tagged (thanks Cin!)

Here's how you play:

Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 15 weird, random things, facts, habits, or goals about yourself.


At the end choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them.


Don't forget to leave them a comment (you're it) and to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you.


Since you can't tag me back, let me know when you've posted your blog so I can see your answers.


1. In order to learn a new song (i.e. for karaoke) I have to listen to it about 50 times in a row with the lyrics in front of me. drives Kevin crazy.

2. Me and a bunch of friends once met Everlast from house of Pain (you know ... "jump around") at the Denny's on Eureka in Taylor. He was so frigging cool.

The story goes we were all sitting in one of the big corner booths and in walked this guy with chains and crap. He sat down in the dame section as us and we were kinda making fun of him (calling him wigger ... i know awful!) and someone we all started talking in NY accents (tawking about cawfee and chawcolate) and he got up and came over and joined in with his own NY accent and we all chatted and mentioned he was waiting for buddies cuz they had done a show at Legends that night. That's when he told us who he was and ... yea ... it was pretty cool. he even signed some things for us. (i lost mine tho.. i think it was a napkin lol)

3. I've sang "Blues in the Night" about 50 times today and I'm ready to shoot myself. I can't seem to get it right. (it's for a singsnap contest)

4. one of my favorite snacks is saltines with butter.

5. I firmly believe in reincarnation. When I was 4 years old I told my mom I lived in india I married my cousin "roger" (which we think was actually "rajah") and told her tons of details. There was no way I would have known such details (like wedding customs of wearing tons of jewelry or wearing red) unless I was remembering something.

6. When I was also about 4 years old I corrected my mom's college Greek Mythology professor during a class. and I was absolutely right ^_^

7. I have a serious case of pagophagia that doesn't seem to subsist even tho I'm taking iron pills and vitamins. seriously I'd rather eat ice than eat or drink anything else these days.

8. The fact that the Pope has given special dispensation to allow people to eat meat when St. Paddy's day falls on Friday during Lent really annoys me.

9. Speaking of ...I make a special effort (as a non-catholic) to eat meat every Friday during Lent. childish of me i know.

10. I hate that my sister and her hubby live so far away from us. I miss her all the time.

11. I am a survivor of rape.

12. I wasn't allowed to date in high school. And as much as I complained about it when I was younger...I'm kinda glad.

13. while I'm pretty bad at leaving comments on friends blogs and such I'm a frigging comment whore. I live for people giving me feedback of any kind on these things.

14. i suck at scrabble/scrabulous

15. I believe the children are the future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.

(seriously...just couldn't think of a 15th one)


So I tag (in no particular order):

Chicken

Monica

Banshee

J-Money

Gina

Velisia

JForce

One ill

Eternalhearts

Marc Anthony


P.S. Here's the final result of "Blues in the Night"


In Case You Were Wondering

I narrowed it down to a few songs:

Breathe by Anna Nalick
You're So Vain by Carly Simon
When you Say Nothing at All by Allison Krauss
Broken Wing by Martina McBride
Crazy for You by Madonna.

But this is the song I ended up going with for the contest

Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers
Why do Fools Fall in Love

singsnap fun! input needed please!!!!

so I joined about a billion contests all at once on singsnap and I totally didn't expect to get very far in any of them. I never do well at karaoke contests.

But I appear to be in the finals of one contest and the quarter finals in another one.

The one I'm in for the quarter finals is so much fun! It's called "It's a Knockout 2" and basically you're paired up with another contestant and have to sing whatever song they assign you. So far I've sang Meatloaf "I would do Anything for Love", Shackles (Praise You) by Mary Mary and Boney M "Rasputin". This round is 50 cent "In Da Club" It's been so much fun cuz I've had to learn songs and kinda go out of my box.

(warning ... questionable lyrics and such ... which basically means I is swearing in this song *gasp*)



The one I'm in the finals for is "Wacky Races" and we've had to do songs based on themes as well as bonus songs each round (for which we got extra points) and also answer trivia (which was pretty hard sometimes.) How I managed to get into the finals I'll never know, but they have it broken down into 2 parts. The first part is to sing 2 songs ... 1 is chosen randomly for you and the other one is any song you want.

My random song is "Give a Little Love" by The Judds. I'm so thankful cuz I actually know this song.

(rough first take ... prolly gonna re-record tomorrow ... i know it's pretty pitchy in places ... just wanted to have something to post lol)



Problem is I can't think of a song to sing ... I mean it's open to ANY song on singsnap! How am I supposed to pick? I have a hard enough time picking a song to sing on a saturday night karaoke whilst out with my friends who don't care what I sound like!

so this is the list of songs I've already sang while on singsnap ... It's a melange of all kinds of musics ... Does anyone have any ideas for what I should sing? I only have until March 1st around 9PM to decide, record and post.

Recordings I've made on Singsnap

absolutely useless today

frigging woke up with a horrible back pain so I took a pill ... and proceeded to sleep the frigging day away. nice.

so now I have twice as much to do tomorrow. Guess it's a good thing that we don't have to shoot darts tomorrow.

who needs drugs ....

When you have stuff like this around?



and is it sad that I've now been singing this damn song all day? Thanks Yo! Gabba Gabba (and I don't even have kids)
