Ten songs I'm really feelin' right now

The clock has just struck midnight.
I just watched an episode of my guilty pleasure: "How I Met Your Mother".
A reference to Big Lebowski actually prompted me to LOL.
I spent the evening in an estrogen-filled room.
My closet, currently in boxes piled to the ceiling, has new clothes joining the ranks.
I have the next two days off.
What is left of my apartment will be packed away only to re-emerge at a new location.
Earlier today, I described to a co-worker that I am tired.
Life-tired.
A sickness has hung around since my hospital visit last weekend.
While I like change, it comes with an effort.
The completion of the move couldn't come soon enough.

Here is a song based on the lyrics (two lines at a time) of the 10 songs I'm feelin' right now.

I don't wanna be your friend
I just wanna be your lover (House of Cards - Radiohead)
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love (Friday I'm in Love - The Cure)
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains (The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkle)
Dream one, you had a whole lot of fun with a comedian
Stop short of going all the way, you'll have to make it someday (Dirty Dream Number Two - Belle and Sebastian)
You run into the night
No sound, no vision, no sight (Bye Bye Bye - Plants and Animals)
Your hands on me; Pressing hard against your jeans
Your tongue in my mouth, trying to keep the words from coming out (Lover I Don't Have To Love - Bright Eyes)
Loneliness, is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait (Superstar - The Carpenters, as sung by Sonic Youth)
Forgive me, Let live me
Set my spirit free (Man is the Baby - Antony and the Johnsons)
I'm getting old, just by
Being 'round them (These Girls - Rachael Yamagata)
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye (End of the World - Skeeter Davis)



Wow. That worked better than I even expected.
