It's good to be easily amused.

Number of people with 'Toby Daye' as an interest: 24
Number of people with Newsflesh as an interest: 7
Number of people with Lycanthropy and Other Issues as an interest: 3
Number of people with 'Price Girls' as an interest: 1 (me)

And, of course...

Number of people with 'Seanan McGuire' as an interest: 16

From this, I can determine that Toby is the most popular thing around these parts, and I really need to talk about Verity Price more, because she's way too awesome for me to be solo on adoring her and her family. Although I suppose it would probably help if I, y'know, finished writing her book.

Have I mentioned recently that I get very, very silly when I'm ass-deep in unending edits?

Here is some more amusement: "Sycamore Tree" popped up on Smellerbee during my song meme, but I couldn't use it because, well, the very first line contains the title.

In such cases you can either use the second line (provided you add to the rules that where the first line contains the title, you will use the second line) /or/ you can just put blanks or pseudo-code in the place of the title: 'I found our names carved in the bark of the old [title of song]' or 'I found our names carved in the bark of the old _________'. I've seen both done. If the title comprises the entire lyrics of the song or if it's an instrumental, you're still out of luck, though.

Smellerbee also gave me "I'm Really into Techno" by Garbage, which basically consists of the sample "I'm really into techno, and that's about it" over and over.

I've seen the workarounds too, but I'm lazy.
