Stolen from some random journal while browsing friend's friends. And yes, my songs are weird. That will make it more fun.
Here are lines from the first 20 songs that pop up on my playlist. The challenge: write drabbles inspired by any line of your choice! :D
1. "My nasty reputation takes me everywhere"
(Skid Row - "Youth Gone Wild")
2. "Won't you come upstairs, girl, and have a drink of champagne."
(Lynyrd Skynard - "What's Your Name?")
3. "I had a dream and you were in it
The blue of your eyes was infinite
You seemed to be
In love with me
Which isn't very realistic"
(The Magnetic Fields - "I Don't Believe You")
4. "Drop me off at a wormhole, I want to go home"
(Voltaire - "Screw the Okampa! (I Want to Go Home)")
5. "Safe in the trees you had tears on your face"
(Heart - "Dog and Butterfly")
6. "So forget your past my goodbye girl, now you're home at last"
(Hootie and the Blowfish - "Goodbye Girl")
7. "And you'll be proud to have me right by your side"
(The Nylons - "One Fine Day")
8. "I was wanting you to love me
But your love it never came
All the other love around me
Was just wasting all away"
(The Flaming Lips - "Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell")
9. "Ask me, I won't say no, how could I?"
(The Smiths - "Ask")
10. "As they say, it's in your DNA! You're gay!"
(Avenue Q - "If You Were Gay")
11. "I get this feeling that time's just holding me down"
(Kenny Loggins - "Footloose")
12. "Bang! Bang! Knock on the door, another big bang, you're down on the floor."
(Weezer - "Buddy Holly")
13. "Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth"
(Queen - "Bohemian Rhapsody")
14. "Running just as fast as we can
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night"
(Tiffany - "I Think We're Alone Now")
15. "Too deep in love and we got no way out"
(Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers - "Islands in the Stream")
16. "The night is gone
And the day is here
The stupid sun is shinin'"
(David Byrne - "Pirates")
17. "It's ten to ten and time is running out
Lock up all your memories, get outa here, you know that we can run"
(Blondie - "11:59")
18. "Apocalyptic and insane, my dreams will never change"
(30 Seconds to Mars - "Edge of the Earth")
19. "You're a knight who really likes his night life"
(Spamalot - "His Name is Lancelot")
20. " Oh loneliness Oh hopelessness
to search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
no greater love than mine."
(Annie Lennox - "Love Song for a Vampire")

"So, Princess, what do you think about scoundrels now?"
You toss a grin her way and waggle your eyebrows a bit. It used to annoy her--before--but this, this is after, and the action always succeeds in making her smile.
"I don't know," she replies, and you can tell she's trying her best to repress that smile. "Actually, you had quite a reputation going around, so I suppose I had a lot of preconceived notions."
"Oh?"
"Mmhmm."
"Care to share, sweetheart?"
"Well," she returns, and it's driving you crazy the way she's sitting an arm's reach away, simply twirling her hair, "I guess I just expected something... different."
You nearly choke. "What?"
"You're a mercenary, a pirate, and I heard a lot of stories about you, down in the mess hall on the bases. Girls talk, you know--and before you say anything, yes, I did have friends."
You think you lost your dignity somewhere between "stories" and "talk," and you aren't even really sure what she said after that. "What're you trying to say?"
"I told you. I thought I had myself out for a scoundrel, but apparently it was just all talk. You really are just a nice man."
You're floored. Sure, yeah, it's great and all that she thinks of you as a nice man--it's better than when she hated you--but you have a reputation to serve, protect, and uphold!
"Is that all you think of me, sweetheart? 'Just a nice man.'"
"Well," she says, coyly, and finally, you get it--it's all just a game, and you're just now tuining in--"that's all I've been treated to. Got anything else up your sleeve, Mr. Mercenary?"
She waggles her eyebrows at you, and you suddenly understand why the move is so entrancing. She's got that sparkle in her eyes, too, and you're reminded--for the millionth time today--why, at all times, you choose the midst of being chased by TIE fighters to fall in love with this woman.
"As you'll come to see, part of the point," you reply, grabbing her by the waist, forcing her to tumble backwards next to you, "is that we won't be wearing any sleeves."

YAY. It sucks, don't make fun, but you wanted me to do it, so I did. :P
