Rock & Roll Fridays Meme - Sting


I am SO on a roll with these Memes! My regular readers will be so proud of me! Should I be asleep by now? Sure!

Here is a new Meme that is starting this Friday. I'm cheating and putting it up tonight. Here is a synopis taken from the blog itself to describe how to play. If you would like to play along, please click the logo above.

Hi and welcome to Rock 'n Roll Fridays. We are like other memes in that we will ask you thirteen questions each and every Friday. But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick an singer, band, era or category and pick thirteen of their lyrics. Each of our questions will be based on the lyrics. Got it? Great! Let's begin this week's meme!

Today we picked Sting. The song titles from which we took the lyrics are in caps. Here's Rock 'n Roll Fridays!

1. DESERT ROSE: This desert flower, no sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this…
What is your favorite scent?
I have alot of favorite scents. But if I had to narrow it down I would have to say COFFEE. Big surprise.

2. EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE: Every move you make, every vow you break, every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I'll be watching you.
Ever stalked or researched an old flame?
I did google search someone once just to see what they were up to.

3. IF I EVER LOSE MY FAITH IN YOU: I never saw no miracle of science
that didn't go from a blessing to a curse…
What product did you buy that didn’t do what it claimed?
Some travel steamer from Bed Bath & Beyond. I returned it.

4. IF YOU NEED SOMEBODY SET THEM FREE: If you need somebody, call my name.
If you want someone, you can do the same…
Do you have a nickname or have you been called something other than your given name?
Larry calls me Honey all the time. My one nephew calls me Aunt Jo. Another one called me Aunt Jo-Jo when he was little. My best friend calls me Ma. My very dear friend Monica calls me Mamaluke. She's from Brooklyn. Hehehe

5. WE WORK THE BLACK SEAM: One day in a nuclear age they may understand our rage. They build machines that they can't control and bury the waste in a great big hole…
What do you do that is considered “Green”?
I recycle stuff at work because they have bins there.

6. MOON OVER BOURBON STREET: It was many years ago that I became what I am, I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb…
What was the worst job you ever had?
That would have to be working part-time in a video store when I was 18. My Mom had passed away and I had two jobs to get by. Well, at the video store, I HATED to go & put back the videos in the "Adults Only" room. It used to smell in there. I don't even want to know why. *hurl*

7. I BURN FOR YOU… In peace we sleep entwined and your love flows through me. Though an ocean soothes my head, I burn for you…
What is the worst thing about sleeping with someone else in a bed?
Larry is 6'5". He has long legs.

8. FORTRESS AROUND YOUR HEART: And if I built this fortress around your heart,Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire, then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm…
What object or piece of furniture have you built?
You must mistake me for Ethan Allan? LOL

9. ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK: I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear, I like my toast done on one side, and you can hear it in my accent when I talk, I'm an Englishman in New York…
Do you require special preparation for a food or drink in a restaurant?
I can't even begin to tell you. Let's just say that when one loses 188 pounds and they go out to eat...there are certain provisions that have to be made with food preparation. Bud & Sue can vouch for that. I modify everything. Poor servers.

10. FIELDS OF GOLD: I never made promises lightly, and there have been some that I've broken. But I swear in the days still left we'll walk in the fields of gold…
What was the last promise you made?
That I would take care of something for my co-worker who was out in another office today. I had my hands full because I was the only one in my department that was there today. Not bad for the end of my second week huh?

11. CONSIDER ME GONE: To search for perfection is all very well, but to look for Heaven is to live here in Hell. After today, consider me gone…
What was the worst way you ever broke up in a relationship?
I'm not really sure I ever ended anything badly.

12. THE RUSSIANS: How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy, there is no monopoly in common sense on either side of the political fence…
What is your biggest fear of danger?
I'm always scared of a fire or a car accident. How morbid. Holy Moly! (ode to Bud)

13. BRAND NEW DAY: How many lonely, sleepless nights, how many lies, how many fights, and why would you want to put yourself through all that again?
Do you prefer being married or single?
I prefer being married to my husband. He's ok in my book. I'll keep him for awhile. Hehehe

Is "Mamaluke" has certain meaning, Jodi? I understand why Larry calls you 'Honey" and your nephews call you "Aunt Jo or Aunt Jo Jo". But "Mamaluke" is really different :)
Happy Friday..
