Music Meme / Writing Prompts -- December

 

This is how it works, as always.  Set iTunes, your Ipod, or other music device to "shuffle" or "random", then write down the first line of every song played for 10 - 20 songs.  I'm going to list 15 here.  Then, guess or try to figure out what the song is and artist singing it are.  Answers will be posted in one week.  Also, the quoted lines may be used as inspiration for fanfic.  If you complete a fanfic using the prompt as your starting point or idea, please let me know and provide a link to the story.  Thanks and have fun!

Good luck!

And the weather for tonight.  It snowed off and on all day.  Around 1pm when I wanted to leave for work (I had a meeting at 5:15pm) it was snowing really hard.  I thought about not going in, but then in stopped so I went in.  Mind you, it was snowing again before I even got to the expressway.  The drive home tho' wasn't bad.  And we now have another 2-4 inches of snow on the ground between last night and today.

Humidity:  77%
Wind Chill:  0 F (-18 C)
Wind Speed:  S 15 G 25 MPH (whatever that means)

Oh ---  my chair's giving me an extra class -- well, sorta'.  I'm going to be helping in lab during the Database class, and I get paid double tutor time for it.  It's Saturday mornings, but not til 10:52am, so that's cool -- and I start tomorrow.  So totally awesome there.
