So yes, I am a lemming. I am also having writer's block. Maybe the Brella's meme is just what I need......
Who are you?
Squint your eyes and look closer
I’m not between you and your ambition
I am poster girl with no poster
I am 32 flavors and then some -- Ani DiFranco
Are you male or female?
If that phone don't ring one more time,
I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind.
You made a big impression for a girl of your size,
Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes. – Old ‘97’s
What place do you love best?
I set sail on a golden sea,
rainbows in the sky ahead,
seagulls sing with me.
I go fast, I travel far
riding on wispy waves
all the way to Zanzibar -- Milkshake
What do you look like?
She’s got diamonds in her eyes,
That she likes to hide
Seek and you will find
The hide and seekin’ kind
She’s got rings
Wrapped around her precious things
What the day brings is no surprise. -- Whiskeytown

What’s your worst quality?
But now you just don't remember

And you're not sure that you want to know
I'll give you one hint, honey
You sure did put on a show -- Billy Joel
Where do you see yourself in one year?
Now Kyle Keyring came to Kiki Kangaroo
He said, "Kiki I have a job that I’d like to offer you"
"Come and cook my dinner, and I’ll pay you handsomely."
"If you’d just quit this bouncing ‘round, you can come and work for me!"
Kiki said, "Thank you kindly, but don’t you know?"
"I’m not a kettle to be kept upon some kitchen stove."
"With all this Life boilin’ up inside of me"

It’s only gonna make you love me more. – Ryan Adams
Something you like about yourself
She got the kinda strength that every man wishes he had.
She loved michael jackson up until he made bad.
Tells me that she lives about a hundred lives,
Scares me to death when she thinks and drives – Pat Monahan
What does love mean to you?
You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here -- Alanis Morrisette
What would you say to the one who got away?
My name is Calypso
I have let him go
In the dawn he sails away
To be gone forever more
And the waves will take him in again
But he'll know their ways now
I will stand upon the shore
With a clean heart
And my song in the wind
The sand will sting my feet
And the sky will burn
It's a lonely time ahead
I do not ask him to return
I let him go I let him go -- Suzanne Vega
What makes you angry?
Answer me and take your time,
what could be the awful crime he could do at such young an age?
If I'm the only witness to your madness offer me some words to balance out what I see and what I hear.
All these cold and rude things that you do I suppose you do because he belongs to you
and instead of love, the feel of warmth you've given him these cuts and sores that won't heal with time or with age. – 10,000 Maniacs
What makes you happy?
And I thank you for choosing me
To come through unto life to be
A beautiful reflection of his grace
For I know that a gift so great
Is only one God could create
And I'm reminded every time I see your face – Lauryn Hill
What makes you sad?
Some people
It's a pity
They go all their lives and never know
How to love or to let love go -- Rob Thomas
How do you feel when you think about your biggest mistake?
I'm not a kid anymore
I don't know what I did anymore
but on every damn pass
karma bushwhacks my ass
and I get it all back – Mary Prankster
Some words to live by
Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight,
Got to kick at the darkness ‘till it bleeds daylight. – Bruce Cockburn

for a minute, I had Ryan Adams confused with Bryan Adams - which would have been a HUGE secret, indeed. I'm off for more coffee...will check some of these unknown gems (i'm sure) out on iTunes later
But not 2 cool 4 a thumb. :-D
But I agree with Sandra on the cool factor nonetheless.
Thumbified.
Bill, thanks....honestly I don't know how I got this cool rep...really, people, I am a big dork.
Hi Mary! Yeah, this seemed a great way to start coalescing my thoughts for my next post.
Lonnie -- thanks for the heads up so I can give proper props. And really, I keep telling you all. I am a big dork.
Sally -- perhaps sisters?
John, the lyrics to the whole song are just priceless. But horribly dirty.
Donna, there is NEVER a bad time for Ryan Adams.....thanks!
WOOF
WOOF
This list might just define "eclectic."
My favorite: Your best quality. Great choice!
And M.A.H. -- gotta admit it's one of my favorite songs. And yeah, I'm a big eclectic dork.
