So, last post has a happy ending! I emailed my teacher, and she let me use her computer yesterday afternoon. Her Garage Band turned out to hate me too, but she turned out to have the old version of iMovie, so with the help of that, a handheld recording device, and a lot of staying up late last night, I finished the project! :D Presented it in class this morning, and people seemed to like it. I ended up being actually pretty darn proud of it myself. So. :D
(Also, the speaker seems to have righted itself somehow, at least well enough that I'm not complaining. :B)
ALSO I got the grade back for that oral I posted about a couple weeks ago. Turns out I got a 100. o_O I didn't even think one could get a 100 on an oral. But first time for everything, I guess. :D
Right now despite these successes I am still kind of sad because my favorite class with my favorite teacher ended today. :( To take my mind off it, and to celebrate finally uploading all my CDs (I've been procrastinating since September), I am going to do this meme that I stole from
fujicori. Let's see how many of the 194 new songs are on it. :D
Rules:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player on random
Step 2: Post the first line or so from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly. (Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!)

Left in the non-English songs this time, but I can tell you now that no one is going to get them. :P Also this was a pretty terrible sampling for this meme, wow. I'm not sure why I'm posting it.

Glad to hear school is going well! :D
no subject
School is going well mainly because it's almost done for the semester. :P But thank you. I just hope I can get through my finals okay. ._.
no subject
#29 is Fields of Gold by Sting. Booyah, favorite Sting song even if it's cheesy. I remember watching Michelle Kwan skate to it way back in the day.
I really thought I'd know more of these.
no subject
It's okay, I don't think most people would know most of these. I wouldn't know half of 'em off the top of my head. Terrible sampling.
no subject
Going off to do this meme now.

Oh man I am excited considering the sweet music that you have. :D
no subject
...Barely any of my awesome music came up. Instead I got a lot of 80's stuff. WTF? Posted.
no subject
Hey man, the '80s were supposedly pretty awesome. Or ridiculous, but it's basically the same thing. Also I do not know enough of your songs. :(
no subject
The 80's were a musical cesspool*. 90's all the way, biznatch!
*Siouxsie & the Banshees, Dead Kennedys, Leonard Cohen, Queen, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper and a few other exceptions made.

#4: *~Asterisk~ by ORANGE RANGE (credit to
And I'm pretty sure #9 is Rammstein, but I can't find the song P:
I know #8 is Russian! XD
no subject
#9 is... pretty far from Rammstein, actually. :P Also can you understand any of #8? I am just curious because I cannot. ._.
no subject
I pretty much know "kak," but some creative poking in my translator yielded:
как узор на огне, с ново прошлое or "as pattern on the fire, the newly past" and I can't figure the last word out. Russian's a bit difficult to figure out when romanized by sound alone, because "o" can sound like "a" if it's unstressed, and a few other letters have similar sounds under different circumstances. I can tell you that "ogne" (огне) is "fire," though XD (unless it's the plural form, огни, that's being said. I've no clue from the romanization.)
no subject
The website I got the lyrics from has "like a pattern on a window, the past is near again", so yeah, you're pretty good. :D Unfortunately, it didn't have the Cyrillic, though I can try poking around some more.
no subject
Austrian German is a different dialect, I think like how British English is different from American English? Generally understandable both ways, but they are distinct in their sound.
no subject
That makes sense. Like, they have different words for some things. *goes off to research the differences*
no subject
In Cyrillic, I think it should be: как узор на окне, с нова прошлое рядом, though the translation I get out of that is strange. I've no clue. I could be wrong, but that at least makes some sense with what you've found as the translation xD

3. ... Under Your Spell from Once More With Feeling otherwise known as the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode? (Please tell me I'm not crazy.)
5. Callin In Sick by Weird Al |D
;lkasjd;oivnawer I KNOW I KNOW MORE BUT I CAN'T THINK OF THE NAMES.
no subject
It's okay, man. They will come to you. Or maybe they will not. If worst comes to worst, I can post the answers later. :P
no subject
Also, hum.
10. Down to Earth by Barenaked Ladies?
no subject
Correct! One of my favorite songs on that album. :B
