HA. I had someone ask me once if I was named after the OMD song, since that's my name.

I told them I predated the song by at least a decade and a half.....

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

But were you named after the plane? :D

[jennytork.livejournal.com]

I was, indeed. To honour my grandfather.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Did your Granddad fly on that mission?

[jennytork.livejournal.com]

No, he built B-29 engines and then worked as a guard in Oak Ridge on the Manhattan Project. He was Daddy's daddy and I was named after that time of his life because Daddy loved him so much and wanted to honour him.

What a fantastic bit of family history.

Thanks!

Everybody's gotta learn sometime!! LOVE!!! And lol! Total lemming, if I put my head in the oven and turned it on, would you?? ;)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

is that a meme?

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

LMAO!!!

Wow, I've heard of exactly one of those songs. Are they fairly recent, or just less well known?

My dad and I have this theory that people stop listening to any music written after their first child was born.

[jennytork.livejournal.com]

For me, at least, your dad was wrong. LD

[rockstarpeach.livejournal.com]

Well it's not just my dad. I couldn't name you a song that was written after 2005.

I mean, there's that Drake song about 'call me on my cellphone' every time the Raptors are on telly, but other than that...

One of my favourite songs is Maroon 5's "Maps". I love Katy Perry's "Roar" and a lot of Taylor Swift's. There are many others, and a lot of it is from my alarm clock being turned to a station that plays "From the 80s to today!"

[rockstarpeach.livejournal.com]

Haha, my radio station plays everything up UNTIL the 80s :)

My daughter likes Katy Perry though, and whenever she listens to it, I know how my dad felt about Janet Jackson.

ha ha most of these are pretty old as it happens - but there's another reason to not have children. I don't listen to a massive amount but I do have some up to date stuff on my playlist! :D

I would have a tough time with this: every vowel in my name is an A...

Still, I've heard about half of these. Very cool list.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

But it's your LJ name you use so that gives you an X!

[etrix.livejournal.com]

*face palm* This is what I get for cutting down on my caffeine! I spent a lot of time on the bus this morning trying to remember all my favourite A songs (but not the pronoun A--that would be cheating). *sigh*

Hmmm... do I have an X song in my playlist...

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Tee hee!
