Forget About the Boy

Posted by beth on January 30, 2009

Confession: I was not actually tagged to do this, but it looked like fun, so I decided to do it anyway. My results will, no doubt, be decidedly different from those of my friend Jennifer, from whom I have stolen it. I will have less R&B and more musical theater, but I think the same odds exist for New Kids on the Block to come up. Don’t feel obligated to join in. I’m not tagging anyone. But if you think it looks like fun (or if you try it, and it turns out to be hilarious), then go for it, and let me know. Here’s how it works.

1. Put your iTunes/Napster/Zune Player/WinAmp/etc on shuffle.

3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!If someone says, “Is this ok?” you say:
