Please forgive all the funny song lists. Just amusing myself once again. Just a bit of character fluff.
Dear Diary,
Today I was thinking about ringtones and how much they can say about a person or turtle. My ringtones are just whatever I think is cool at the moment, like I have "Superstar" by Lupe Fiasco for Mikey, but I didn't put lots of thought into it or anything. I was just tired of "Wind it Up" by Gwen Stefani and wanted to replace it with something new.
But I think that Don and Mikey both put lots of thought into their ringtone choices and both lists are pretty amusing. I don't know what they've assigned for me, but I'm going to find out.
Mikey's ringtone for Donny is "Mr. Roboto" by Styx. Makes sense. His ringtone for Raph is "Hate Me" by Blue October. So every time Raph calls him his phone erupts with, "HATE ME TODAY! HATE ME TOMORROW!" Seems really appropriate, in a sick way. His song for Leo is "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay and it seems to make Leo kind of pissy. I guess because the leader is bad in that song so he takes it personally.
Don's list makes me laugh. His song for Mikey is "Everybody Dance Now" by C+C Music Factory. Makes me laugh every time I hear it. His song for Leo is "Hail to the Chief." Every time Leo calls him, it sounds like it's the president. Raph's song is "Vader's Theme." I have nothing to say about the implications of that.
Leo 's songs are all things he meditates to. He listens to freaky music that would give me a panic attack of relaxation. But I suppose that's the only thing you can stand if your whole day is nothing but meditating, kata and Tai Chi. Whenever Raph calls, his phone plays this sad song called "Live With Me" by Massive Attack. I didn't know the names of his songs and had to ask him what they were. His song for Donny is "Requiem for a Tower." I always feel like something epic will inevitably happen whenever Don calls him but it's usually something like they're out of milk. Mikey's song is "Sadeness Part 1" by Enigma. He listens to a lot of these guys. There's lots of female heavy breathing and Gregorian chanting and I can't really explain why it bothers me. I guess I don't like hearing Leo's phone make any sexy noises for any reason.
Let's see. Raph's phone. I remember that he mostly listens to 90's grunge and stuff because he hates hip hop of any sort. I can't really remember and I'll have to ask when he gets back. Counting eight days since he left. My nose feels much better and I've stopped wearing the bandages now.
Dear Diary,
Sigh. Those guys. I found out what songs they have set as my ringtone.
Leo's song was just another of his freaky relaxation songs. "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. You know, that one that ripped off the Rolling Stones.
Don's song is "I am Woman" by Helen Reddy. That made me laugh. Again.
But Mikey's tops them all. "My Chick Bad" by Ludacris. But wait. It gets better. It used to be "Sexy Bitch" by David Guetta until it gave Splinter such a headache that he made him change it. Seems he's gone through a few. I was informed that his first choice was "She Fucking Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd, but Leo forced him to change it. Poor kid. I'm flattered that he's gone to such lengths to think up a cool song for me. And I'm worth it because, you know, "my swagger won't quit."
Still no word from Raph. The guys are getting nervous. I passed nervous about a week ago.
Dear Diary,
Raph's ringtones are "I Need a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler for Leo (he said that he chose it as a joke a few weeks ago and hasn't gotten around to changing it back to "Devil's Haircut" by Beck), "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" by Smashing Pumpkins for Mike, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana (of course) for Donny, "Kick Some Ass" by Stroke 9 for Casey (I could say endless things on this, but won't), and finally "Push It" by Garbage for me because he half-way crushes on Shirley Manson. I mean he would if he were human, I guess.
