Dreams with Jeremy, Karen Lew, Vania, and salmon! / 111 Wussy Songs

I had an interesting dream last night that involved Jeremy (in his Sunday gear including dark sweater) and Karen Lew in with a group of our friends looking for clues around town. It was kind of a scavenger hunt, and we were having trouble finding a white business card with red writing on it. We went all over the section of town looking for one, and even stopped into a Chuck E. Cheese's to chill and eat before going out to look again. Then someone found one beside a law office door, with "Ann Mortenson" on it... that fit the criteria, but we couldn't get at it since it was encased in glass! We couldn't go into the business either, since it was closed. Eventually, we decided to break the glass and grab the whole stack... we barely managed to win the hunt!

Then the dream switched to my going around with another group of friends, including Vania. Apparently, my mom wanted us all to meet her at a restaurant for dinner, so we all decided to have wild salmon. Then when the table was squished more than she liked, she yelled at me (and everyone else) for "taking up all the room" and being annoying. We all yelled back at her since she was the one who invited us to eat! After that, we all left and abandoned her at the table, heh. Then I woke up...

I know that Christon was wearing a "Go Wild! BC Salmon" shirt on Sunday, so that was probably why the salmon was in the dream. As for anything else, I don't know why... although I was hanging out a lot with Jeremy and Karen (and some with Vania) this weekend! Jon also just buzzed me: he heard from Justin that I can't make it to the party tonight.. nope! Hey, I have a free Friday coming up for once since there is no Fellowship program on Aug. 11 because of the Trinity prayer retreat the next day. Sweet! Karen Choo also just emailed the Bible Study group about Bible Study this coming Friday: I find it amusing that the email subject line indicates that Shaw thinks it's junk email, haha. [Shaw Suspected Junk Email]... HAHAHA!

Balanced You scored 46 sociability!

Sometimes, you like to party... other times, an evening in looks like the better option. For you, it's all about balance. You're not a 24/7 party animal, but you're sure not shutting yourself away from human contact either. You probably have quite a few good friends and see them pretty regularly, but you try to schedule in some quiet time as well, and can cope well with being alone for a while. You likely value your friends and are willing to make the effort to stay in touch, and you're the type of person who will stop for a chat with your neighbours, but you don't make unreasonable demands on people's time. Most people would probably feel you have the best of both worlds.

Loner / Normie
You are the lonely type. You have a few close friends around, but you don't speak much. The shyness overrides you. Instead, you focus on schoolwork, as there's nothing else to do. You don't have the best stuff... and the preps are unbearable. It's a war of survival for you! OR You are an average Joe person. People talk to you, and polite conversations occur frequently. Your grades are okay, so it keeps your parents happy. You have ups and downs, decent friends, and ample time to kick back!
What type of high school student are you?



Dark
You're more of a dark artist. While some of your materials are not exactly "demented," you tend to put a twist to the "nicer" (like angels), and you give demons a holier light. You tend to put a deeper meaning into things... one most people don't see.
What kinda of artist are you?



Julian Casablancas
You are the amazing lead vocalist that everyone loves, Julian Casablancas!
Wich Kick Ass Strokes Member are you???

TOP TEN

10. Coldplay, Fix You (2005)
These British softies apparently didn't get the memo that Dawson's Creek had been cancelled when they wrote this weeper. Luckily, the producers of The O.C. love syrupy ballads, and frontman Chris Martin managed to outwhine the show's mighty Cohen.

9. Bread, If (1971)
The uncontested champions of wuss, these hair-parted-in-the-middle, slacks-wearing California boys have forgotten more classic whimperings than James Blunt will ever write. Nothing showed off sensitivity to the ladies like a Best of Bread 8-track. By comparison, the Eagles were Slayer.

8. Culture Club, Do You Really Want to Hurt Me (1983)
While most '80s icons were out scoring with models, Boy George spent his free time weeping in his studio. Torn apart by his turbulent love affair with his Club's closeted drummer, the cross-dressing pop queen poured his heart out on this mid-tempo tearjerker. Listen closely and you can almost hear his mascara running.

7. Nick Lachey, What's Left of Me (2006)
Newly-divorced Nick got his heart broken by mean ol' Jessica, and it spawned this syrupy serenade. He may be "half the man," but getting half the money can't be all that bad, can it?

6. Dan Fogelberg, Longer (1979)
Of the lawsuits holding musicians responsible for violent lyrics, comedian Denis Leary once quipped, "Does that mean I can sue Dan Fogelberg for making me into a pussy in the mid-'70s?" After citing a couple of this song's Hallmark-card metaphors, the prosecution could rest.

5. Poison, Every Rose Has Its Thorn (1988)
Poison's rampant hedonism was just a cry for help from the band's secret, inner wuss. If the lipgloss didn't give it away, lyrics like "instead of makin' love, we both made our separate ways" exposed the guys as a bunch of softies. Any real metalhead would know that roses are only cool when paired with guns or tattoos.

4. James Blunt, You're Beautiful (2005)
It's the classic, tragic love story: Stoned man sees pretty girl on subway, girl exits with boyfriend, man loses will to live... all set to a bitchin' Spanish guitar riff menacing enough to evoke Wham's Careless Whisper.

3. Michael Jackson, Ben (1972)
Long before he was accused of anything unsavory, Michael Jackson's mind was in the gutter -- singing this screechy love song to a rat. Yep, Ben (the protagonist of the movie of the same name) was a heckuva guy... but he ate garbage. We wish we could say that rodent love songs stopped here, but see also Muskrat Love.

2. Dan Hill, Sometimes When We Touch (1997)
It doesn't get much softer than this soft-rock classic from a Torontonian who barely got it up for one more Top 40 hit a decade later. He wants to cuddle his beloved "til the fear in me subsides." By the sound of things, that could be a while.

aaaaaaand Number One:
1. R.E.M., Shiny Happy People (1991)
Disowned by the band on its 2003 greatest-hits album despite being one of the critically adored "college rock" group's biggest chart successes, Shiny Happy People is a case in point that irony doesn't always translate. (That's why they created emoticons ;-) ) Supposedly written in response to the horrific Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing in 1989, the song finds poetic lyricist Michael Stipe borrowing from a bit of Chinese propaganda roughly interpreted as "shiny happy people holding hands." But the finished product was no trenchant political statement from a human-rights warrior exercising the power of his celebrity. Instead, it was an anthemic lobotomy, precisely the kind of pop puffery the band meant to skewer.

Some of these I actually like... but some I can do without like Britney Spears, N'Sync, Celine Dion, or Backstreet Boys! I kinda liked the Mariah Carey one, and some of the more rockish ones go without saying! (Goo Goo Dolls, R.E.M., Mr. Big, Poison, Extreme, etc.)
