icarus | One more meme, and I'm off LJ until I have fic.

Working on Out Of Bounds. Good news: I have 8,000 more words written. Bad news: there are big blank spots in between scenes so I can't post the 8,000 words. But we're working on that, honest.

Toronto people, we have a winner! Rodney lives in the Scarborough Bluffs, a.k.a., "The Bluffs." Formerly cheap-ville, Kingston not being too pretty as Toronto streets go with all those strip malls. Now the early buyers are sitting pretty.

Now for the meme:

★ THE RULES ★
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post a line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: No cheating. No Googling. AND NO LAST.FM SEARCHING.
