How to Party, Poppymom-Style

It's quarter after one on Saturday morning. I just got home from a fabulous night out*. What shall I do to maintain my hardcore self while I wait for the bedding to finish its spin through the wash?** Why, a meme, of course!

I'm so fucking out of control right now, it's not even funny. Katya and Kristina are also out of control, but what would you expect from a pair of librarians?

The Rules, as demanded by meme creator Bookhart:Put up to three answers to any question. But no more. One answer is OK, two answers is OK, three answers is OK. Four is not OK, and five is right out. Unless otherwise indicated, you can only choose songs, and be specific--putting "anything by Madonna" doesn't count.

*Meat was involved.
**No, the late-night bedding laundering didn't have anything to do with the wildness of our night. It was simply a poor laundry decision.

I have the entire Here for the Party CD on my iPod. Is that wrong? (Heh.)

I'm listening to the Smiths right now.

Glad you had a good night out even if you had to deal with laundry at the end.

Yeah, I'm fucking out of control! I was going to write to you last night, but because I was brain dead last night, that whole list took me forever.
