Thursday Thirteen #45 — One

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

I’m a novelist. We all know this about me, and it’s part of the reason why you love me. But… that also means that my Thursday Thirteens can get long.

Not today.

Thirteen words ShapeShifter loves to hear:

1. Platinum
2. Sell-out (as in: tickets)
3. Tour
4. royalties
5. Interview
6. girls
7. Headliner
8. dinner
9. guitars
10. singles
11. awards
12. beer
13. sleep

Be sure to check out Robin and Milan this week — there’s more ShapeShifter! (hover over Milan’s West of Mars graphic!)

    I’m confused … where are the comments? Are you lazy Susan to approve them or they are so dirty so you censored them … But that would be so NOT ShapeShifter :whip:BR/BR/Oh and I love when they love TOUR!!!

    LOL, those are all excellent words for fellows in a rock band, I’m sure — especially #13; I bet they don’t get a whole lot of that. :-DBR/BR/Happy T13, my friend!

    No real surprises there, although not every band loves interviews perhaps. :-)BR/My TT shares Thirteen (quotes from) lyrics by Robbie Williams.

    I also like numbers 8 and 13. Happy TT.

    Is this your shortest 13, ever?BR/BR/Shouldn’t that say Girls, Girls, Girls? Maybe I am thinking of Motley Crue. LOL!

  10. Susan Helene Gottfried

    September 5, 2007 8:17 pm

    Yep, that was the Crue, and yep, it was a good song and yep, this is my shortest yet. BR/BR/I wanted to see if I could do it. Almost did; that sell-out got me.

    This was perfect, Susan! I admit I laughed when I saw that ‘girls’ didn’t arrive on the list until #6. This must have been a challenge. I wonder if a few TTers will try their own version of it in future…?

  19. Jenny McB

    September 5, 2007 9:58 pm

    Dinner, did someone say dinner? I am glad they said girls and not groupies, they were beginning to worry me! Happy short thirteen!

    gee, I’m surprised beer isn’t higher on the list??! Or is it not organized by most important to least important??BR/Great TT Susan!

  22. Susan Helene Gottfried

    September 5, 2007 10:37 pm

    Totally out of order, Lara!
