Zoinks! How the heck did I miss this??

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

It was one of the friends-only posts. Tuesday night. How *did* you miss that, boy? :)

[chrisv.livejournal.com]

I'm still trying desperately (and, I think, futilely) to get caught up! I'm sorry, maam. :-)

I found the posts, but only one photo. I'm guessing you changed the icon? It's kind of annoying that it changes for all posts, not just the ones you create after you change it. Regardless... beautiful bosom!

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yep, changed the other one - it wasn't as good a photo. And thanks! :)

1. Where are you right now?

In Minnesota, seated in front of my dad's computer with the desktop decorated with American flags and medals of honor. And machine gun sound effects when you close and open programs.

2. What have you lost recently?

My hairbrush. It's somewhere between Minneapolis and Boston, I think.

3. What was the first CD you ever purchased? Does that embarrass you now?

I honestly can't remember my first CD. I do remember my first tape, however -- George Michael's "Faith." Uhhh....

1. Where are you right now?

At home, sitting at my desk in a green wicker chair.

2. What have you lost recently?

My mind? My temper with a couple of miscreants in one of the discussion groups I run. A constant stream of small items but that's just the way life works for me. ;-)

3. What was the first CD you ever purchased? Does that embarrass you now?

I really can't remember but there's got to be at least a 35-40% chance that it'll be embarassing now.
My first record ever though, that's more memorable, Robin, The Hooded man by Clannad, theme tune from Robin of Sherwood, what a great series that was, nothing embarassing there. :-)

4. What is your favorite kind of writing pen?

Really, I don't mind, just so long as they're cheap and plentiful, they're a large part of the constant stream of small items going missing I mentioned above, so cost would be a mistake really.

5. What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

[thinks very hard...] No, it's no good, I can't remember the name, haven't had it for ages, years even before I had to give ice cream up. It was blue, I do remember, a lovely bright shade of blue.

'song, "Little Earthquakes" was either my first or second CD. I know I bought it and "Home" by Hothouse Flowers (a lovely album) before I got my CD player!

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Nifty! I got it before I got a CD player, too - I was at a Boys for Pele release party, and they were giving them away. :)

Heh. My copy was purchased when it first came out. I'll never forget hearing "Silent All These Years" for the first time. I was a senior in high school. My clock-radio alarm went off for school at 5:15 am. I sat up and started to get up when this sweet, fragile voice caught my ear. I sat there through the whole song, then I sat there afterward thinking "Wow" and trying not to cry.

The only other song that has had such an immediate, first-listen "that describes me" impact is Dar Williams's "When I Was a Boy." I heard that one under similar circumstances--the "modern rock" station here used to do Acoustic Sunday Morning. I woke up to "When I Was a Boy" one morning and didn't hear who it was. A couple of months later, in Tower Records, I started listening to Dar's CD at a listening station because I liked the cover photo. Lo! There was the song.

Tara McLean's "Let Her Feel the Rain" hit me kind of like that, but I already owned the CD it was on (a Nettwerk Records compilation called Slowbrew--the piano version of the song on that CD is better than the version on Tara's later album).

I really need to make the Songs About Me mix CD.
