COM had a fun game to play that she got from 2 other people. Below are the rules & they're taken from her journal:

Name a BAND (NOT a song, NOT a solo performer) that starts with the letter that you're given and provide a YouTube link of one of their songs.
• Please don’t Google one, just use your brain.
• I'll then give you a letter for you to REPOST.

For those of us who are just forgetful, I think it's perfectly okay to look up your own playlists and music collections for a name, but searching the Internet for random bands is cheating.

Of course, if you'd like to leave a comment but do NOT want to repost with a letter on your own blog, just let me know in the comments. You do not have to repost to play.



I got got the letter B. So enjoy one of my favorite Black Sabbath Songs:

*sighs* I got tagged by COM to do a book meme where you simply post a pic of a favorite book for a week. It's also no pressure to do it, but looking at the number of books I have you'd think it would be easy to pick 7, right? If you guessed "nope!" you'd be right, but not for the reason you'd think. XD While I like most of the books on my shelves, there aren't any that really stand out as a "fave." XD They were faves at the time of reading, but looking back, there are very few I'd actually reread, if I haven't already reread them. XD So sadly, as much I want to do this meme as it looks like fun, I don't have 7 books. Hell, I don't even have 1 book to post. *cries*

This looked like a lot of fun so... peek under the cut.

Stole this from Kat. Have a look under the cut cuz it's longer than LONG. XD
