I don’t remember which blog I stole this from… I was reading in bloglines, and I just copy/pasted to an email so I’d remember to fill it out. I forgot to note the blog where I saw it! Sorry!

1. One book that made you laugh: Any books in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich make me laugh OUT LOUD… even if I’m in public. lol
2. One book that made you cry: Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson and Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows

Stolen from kc, again. Check out the last one I stole from her.

Here’s a music meme to reflect how eclectic your music collection might be. Put your music library in alphabetical order by song, then take the first song for each letter of the alphabet. No repeat artists. Tag five people then let them know they’ve been tagged to do the meme themselves.

A – Addicted to Me – The Click Five
B – Bab’s Uvula Who? – Green Day
C – Cailin – Unwritten Law

L – L.O.V.E – Ashlee Simpson
M – Mad as Rabbits – Panic! At the Disco

T – Tailor Made – Colbie Caillat
U – Under the Moonlight – Travis
V – Val Kilmer – Bowling for Soup
W – Waiting – The Rocket Summer
X – XO – Fall Out Boy
Y – Yes – Coldplay

Alternately, I decided to alphabetize by Artist Name and pick the first artist & song name, which proved to be a bit more embarrassing. ;)

A – a-ha – Take On Me
B – Backstreet Boys – Incomplete
C – Candlebox – Surrendering
D – Damian Giglio – Crush
E – Ehren Starks – Lines Build Walls
F – Fall Out Boy – The Carpal Tunnel of Love

aka The Band Meme

Found via Civil Bitch.

You are about to have your own band’s CD cover. Follow these directions to the letter. It’s fun and requires no thought at all. Go to……

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random – The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 – The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ – The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result as a comment in this post. Also, pass it along on your own blog, because it’s more amusing that way.

- – -
Band Name: José Moratón Taeño
Album Title: To Use Ordinary Situations
Album Cover: This photograph

(I like all of it except the band name, so I cheated and chose another one.. the band changed its name to Verdon. I like that better. :) )

Your turn!!
