MOOP!

VERY IMPORTANT:

What should Nik (geetar), Aly (vocals), and I (drums) name our band?

BECAUSE WE HAVE ROCKBAND WOOOOOO!!! \mm/ (< - too much rock for one hand)

In other news, word of the day is "rockblock". It is the rocking out equivilant of 'cockblock'

WOOO!

MOOP!

(Have I mentioned that my dad is awesome? My dad is awesome.)

ETA: The three of us decided that our band will be 'Epic Suburbia'. I would still like to know your favourite fictional band names, or what you will call your band.

My next band will be called "Raptors! In the Ballroom" Yes, I swiped the styling from panic! at the disco. But it's better, because it has *raptors*. And *ballrooms*.

(((And no, you didn't miss part 1 --I haven't posted it yet.)))

Bowling with Santa

Bowling with Santa is awesome. It really really is. Basically, the bowling alley that mom goes to for her league offers some reasonable bargain for two games of bowling, shoes, hotdog, soda, and getting to see Santa. We've been going since roughly '98 or so, and it's terribly fun, especially as Santa remembers us, because he is a really awesome guy. (But you all knew that, didn't you?)

This year was the five of us in the family, aramintamd and her two daughters, and lonebear and giraffeaholic, which meant we had an even split between the adults and the kids. Seeing as us kids had bumpers, to keep our balls out of the gutter, it was a pretty even match, which was good. The first game, everyone just played at a reasonable level (except mom who had an epicfail game --I actually beat her) but by the second game, the youngest of Araminta's had dropped out, and Aly had gone all "bleeh" and was done, which meant that I was bowling for three people. Which is killer fun, let me tell you, especially if you don't take yourself seriously.

By the second half, Aly had come back in, and the two of us got a little bit...hyper about the bowling. We spent the last three frames throwing the balls down the alley together, and just being goofy. Which is totally fun --Aly and I have always been good about getting really silly together and screwing around.

And yeah. Yay bowling. Santa came by, of course, and I told him that I wanted RockBand and more suspenders* and 'stuff like that'. He gave us candy canes, because Santa is just a generally cool guy like that. Me and Aly spent a lot of our not-bowling time in each others laps, chatting. I danced with both of Araminta's daughters, and with Koob (who came by to visit) and Aly, a little. General mayhem and all that.

I really like my family.

MOOP!

*My suspenders are *awesome* They are (debatably) also hott, with two "t's". I bought them yesterday at Commander Salamanders, and they are black, and I have sworn to wear them every day until the end of time because I like them so much. I've already broken that particular promise, however, seeing as I'm not currently wearing them.

My hair *is* still in two braids with bells on the end, so I suppose that's good. Phear the cute?

So, I've been busy rereading the archives of xkcd, which *continues* to be the most amazing comic...ever.

And *damn* I want a "Just shy --Not Anti-social!" t-shirt. I may have to get mum to order me one when she gets home. Because that is a beautiful shirt.

So, music babblings. I was gonna do the "Movie soundtrack meme" but it turned out quite lame. SO you get some percentages instead.

I have, at this moment in time, 2980 songs. Which is a good deal of music --9.11 Gigs, or about 6 and 2/3 days.

Of this music selection:

03.22% is Weird Al (96/2980)
04.97% is random, generally Indie, music that Tho has sent me (148/2980)
24.23% is showtunes (722/2980)
03.42% is TMBG (102/2980)
01.84% is related to RHPS (55/2980)
01.51% turns up when I enter the letter "Q" into the searchbox (45/2980)
07.45% is the H2G2 related (radioplays, movie soundtrack, and Marvin songs.) (222/2980)
01.64% is Schoolhouse Rock (49/2980)
03.46% is some sort of Christmasish Music (103/2980)
08.52% has never been played (254/2980)
00.70% has been played more then 100 times. (21/2980)
00.17% has been played more then 200 times. (5/2980)

Any other percentages you'd like to see?

...You know what this reminds me of? My LONG SINCE DEFUNCT project where I was assigning songs to peoples elljays for...some reason. I think it was so I could be "I'm bored. Who's elljay am I gonna read the whole of today?"

At any rate...that activity crashed messily. Haven't touched it at least half a year, maybe more -I've still got Tho unlisted, for crissakes, and he's CERTAINLY rectified that particular musical problem. (((Hum, "Only Anarchists are Pretty" or "Up Against It"? Oh, questions...)))

...also, why is Ms Hecabus listed with Mrs Robinson? I'ma gonna assume she was quoting from it at one point...or...something. Yeeeeeeah. Like I said, WOEfully out of date.

...I'm out. See ya kids later.
