Did you start off by writing "if I was at a party..."? :P I love the subjunctive - it's just not used enough in English. (And I think that's a valid point about the party at the end of the universe!)

I'm going to have to do this meme - I'm definitely with you on Teardrop, and I love To the Moon and Back as well!

I need to get more Nightwish - sadly I don't have Beauty of the Beast. I always find that their albums are way too expensive - I got Once and Highest Hopes on sale, but haven't yet got the others... Maybe I could try other means... |:|
