That darn danvers. But I am her slave, and I do what she commands. Plu--John, naked, under a waterfall. How can I deny her anything after that?



1) Total volume of music files on my computer?

1.9 GB. I put all my belly dance class CDs on my computer, because I practice here in the office. Carefully (really, there's not much space).

2) The last CD I bought was...

Woo! Johnny Cash, American IV: The Man Comes Around. Because danvers put selections up in one of her previous posts, and I was totally captivated. It's an excellent CD. BTW, danvers, husband says thank you for the suggestion. He loves it, too.

3a) The last song I listened to before writing this was...

Something silly on the radio as I drove home...hmmm, I think the last song was "Dancing With Myself" by Billy Idol. As if I didn't hear that song enough when I was in college. I saw Billy Idol in concert though, while in college, and he put on a terrific show. He really came across as quite personable, and dare I say, sweet, even.

3b) Song playing right now:

LOL, none, aside from senior cat's caterwauling.

4a) Five songs I listen to a lot.

1. Rakset Claribel. Because currently we are learning a choreography to it. A very nice, very classical oriental dance, with a veil intro. The opening of the song always makes me giggle though, because it's so big and bombastic. The dance itself is a little beyond me, but the parts I do get, I'm very proud of.
2. Nereedak. At least I think that's the name of it. I took a bedouin dance workshop a few months ago, and this was the song we danced to. The workshop was fabulous, very lively and exuberant and I still love listening to song because of it.
3. Zeina from Electric Oasis. Very fun and funky. How can you NOT dance to it?
4. Ne me quitte pas by Natasha Atlas, from her Ayeshteni CD. I have no idea what she's saying, but it's all very dramatic and heartfelt.
5. "In My Life", sung by Johnny Cash. ::sniffles::

4b) Songs that mean a lot to me.

The entire "Wavelength" album by Van Morrison. Back in the olden days, when I first started dating my husband (late 80's) we listened to a lot of Van, especially this one. And every time I hear it now, it brings me back to when everything was new and shiny and fun. Not that things aren't shiny and fun now, but it's such a thrill when you first realize that you've found the right someone.

*squints at meme* There must be a hundred variations of this meme running around.

I'm here on a mission. You told me to drop you a line when The Walls Of Jericho (http://www.livejournal.com/users/icarusancalion/368976.html) (Jack/Daniel, long-fic, ring a bell?) was done, edited, beta'd, ironed, drip-dried.

It's done. *collapses in a heap*

Cool! Thanks for the heads up. I'm looking forward to a nice, long read.

I hope you enjoy it. It's a drabble really, it just, uh, grew.
