On singing in public: I do it often, and occassionally i'll do it loud. I don't get self conscious really, but I just dont bother to bellow at the top of my lungs all the time. But I have no problem being so loud that I can be heard by everyone in a crowded room. If they know me, they'll think it's funny or weird or somesuch, if they dont, I really don't care what they think.

Your my baby
Your my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You took my hand
My heart went thump
Oh when we kissed we could not stop
You walked outa my dreams
Into my arms
Your my angel devine
Your sixteen
Your beautiful
And your mine
Your all mine
Please excuse if I didn't get the lyrics exactly.
I wrote straight out of my head.
Did not want to leave in the middle of a post to Google it. Just thank God I didn't start singing a Janis Joplin.

I go and watch Clerks 2, come online, and y'all are talkin about chocolate! No chocolate for me, it is not good for me!
All my songs are on my computer on shuffle, so I could list the last five songs I listened to instead of CD's:
Diamonds and Pearls - Prince
Express Yourself - Madonna
If I Had $1000000 - Barenaked Ladies
Tribute - Tenacious D
Another One Bites the Dust - Queen
Where Will You Go - Evanescence (I had to put it on here; one of my favorite songs)
Books:
The Black Jewels Trilogy (again) - Anne Bishop
The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide (again) - Douglas Adams
Chainfire - Terry Goodkind (the next book is out but I haven't gotten ahold of it yet)
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (again) - JK Rowling
The DaVinci Code (again) - Dan Brown
I sorta half-read a book my dad gave me called "Worse than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W Bush" by John W Dean, but it made me feel slightly ill so I couldn't finish it. I already didn't like him; there are some things I prefer not to think too hard about.
I don't watch enough TV to have five shows. Um, Firefly, Firefly, Smallville, Firefly, Penn and Teller's Bullshit... That seems about right. All were on DVD.
The saving of self thing; I really agree with the idea, but don't draw the line at marriage. I think it should be "No sex til there's a level of love and devotion" which is what I did. Didn't work out, but hey, I've never had a horrible sexual experience, so I must be doing something right!
I sung to a few of my exes, and it was all nice and sweet and romantic, then we broke up and I took an objective look and realized they were total emo kids and sort of lost my taste for singing to men. Plus Ex of Doom didn't like a lot of the things I really liked (and could sing well) but, you know, I loved it when he sang to me. It was always along to a song that was playing, but it was really sexy. He didn't do it very much.
I have never, ever been friends with any one of my exes. My mom thinks it's unhealthy, but you know it just isn't drama I want to deal with. My mom still has a great relationship with her first husband (my brother's dad) she says he's a wonderful person who she couldn't stand being married to. My dad (her second husband) she hasn't spoken to since the day I got my own car. There's just too much go se that he wouldn't work through or just couldn't be worked through. In a word, drama.
When Ex of Doom and I first started having problems and I was all weepy about it, she said I should try to hold on to him as a friend. Then he wrote his lovely little e-mail and I let her read it. She didn't think I should be his friend after that, either.
James, what did you mean by "The First One"? Did you mean the Evanescence EP or did you mean Fallen, which was their first major lable release?
Mmmmk, looks like I'm mostly caught up now...

TV shows is harder, got to actually think back several weeks to get up to five but (here's guessing...)
Firefly. (if it counts)
The Friday Night Project (which i'm currently loving to hate, i sit and swear at it and insult the presenters, probably not a healthy habit)
Sugar Rush.
Lost.
(actually i'm now stuck, i can't remember further back, but i'll guess it might've been spaced. possibly...)
annd Books.
A Tale Etched In Blood And Hard Black Pencil, by Christopher Brookmyre.
The Gold Falcon, by Katherine Kerr.
Maus, by Art Spiegelman
The Wintersmith, Terry Pratchett.
The Old Patagonian Express, by Paul Theroux.
singing, i love to sing badly, i used to be in the choir at school, so i'm guessing i can't have been all bad, but i kinda prefer singing badly, it's more fun, more of a giggle and people don't get insecure about it (when i worked in the bar one christmass, a bunch of the regulars were singing, vaguely, when all of a sudden some bloke on the other side of the bar ups and sings silent night, in german, in flawless tenor, and everyone their sorts of congratulates him, then mumbles and looks awkward, good singers make people insecure (i worked that out by myself 
)
not sure where i stand on saving yourself, or not saving yourself as the case may be, think if i was trying to save myself for marriage (hell if i was trying to save myself for a functional, healthy relationship even) i'd have failed.
never been friends with an ex either, but not because i'm opposed to the idea, in fact i kinda like it, it's more just been circumstance, so to speak.

I love to sing - except when I am very depressed and I am pretty much struggling with that at the moment... But I have been known to sing along to music in shopping centres and was in 7th heaven when I was in the Philippines and discovered that everyone sang along at the local supermarket... and loudly at that!!
Only sung to a guy on stage though - that comes from my theatrical upbringing!
Catch you all soon! - Magda x x x
Edit: I don't hate you Oddsbods!

Rose:
Two things. First, the album I was talking about was Fallen. Just figured that out when I found the disc cover. Second... Why the hell do you have to be in the US? I'm serious... Reading Goodkind, same age, similar interests... Hell, once my job wraps up, I'll be picking up Phantom and seeing how the series ends.
Blegh. Back to work.

I have asked myself that in the past, believe me!

Oh, you don't think it's over do you? I've heard there's at least two more books to go!

You and I are on the same side of the pond, just the different sides of the US-Canada border. Still, it rankles a mite. And I think that the series is coming to a close because that's the way he seems to be writing it. He's wrapped up all as can be wrapped up, and it looks like Richard is finally going face to face with Jagang in this one, which I'm fairly sure was saved for the last hurrah. Just my opinion though.
