*OOC -- So I finally have a functioning Ipod, and Scott might be needing an angst break.
Go to the music player of your choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud and press play. Use the song titles as your answers. NO CHEATING!
What do people assume when they first look at me?
Song: Total Eclipse of the Heart
Artist: Bonnie Tyler
Comment: I come across as cold. I guess that's not news. Or maybe I'll be optimistic and say it's the "bright eyes" part.
What will be a big challenge in life for me?
Song: Holding on to Life
Artist: The Silos
Comment: Okay, this is a little spooky.
Am I a good boyfriend/girlfriend?
Song: Running to Stand Still
Artist: U2
Comment: That doesn't sound promising. Though it's possibly not inaccurate.
How will I die?
Song: Shadow Stabbing
Artist: Cake
Comment: Ahh. . .remind me to avoid shadows.
Is someone trying to kill me?
Song: We Got the Beat
Artist: The Go-Gos
Comment: Either this is a 'no,' or Belinda Carlisle has it out for me.
What should I do instead of this quiz?
Song: Van Diemen's Land
Artist: U2
Comment: Well, either I should lead a rebellion in 19th century Ireland, or I should buy some music that Bono didn't write.
What is a bad habit that I should try to stop?
Song: Enterlude
Artist: The Killers
Comment: "We hope you enjoy your stay." So I guess the answer is loitering?
What's for dinner tonight?
Song: Love me like a Song
Artist: Kimmie Rhodes & Willie Nelson
Comment: I guess this means Emma forgot to leave any dinner for me and is going to try to distract me with feminine wiles. It will work.
How does the world see me?
Song: Careless Love
Artist: Madeleine Peyroux
Comment: Ouch.
Will I have a happy life?
Song: Hitch Hike
Artist: Marvin Gaye
Comment: It's a Motown song, so my life will be unsettled and full of heartbreak -- but you sure can dance to it.
What do my friends really think of me?
Song: New Coats and New Hats
Artist: Matt Nathanson
Comment: "I am fine, just a little lonely. So can I just ride on your back for a time?" I'm really not sure if this is comforting or not.
Do people secretly lust after me?
Song: Take a Chance on Me
Artist: Erasure
Comment: Hmm. Everybody certainly seems to be these days.
How can I make myself happy?
Song: These Things Take Time
Artist: The Smiths
Comment: I'm pretty sure, "Stop listening to the Smiths" is on the short list.
What should I do with my life?
Song: To Love Somebody
Artist: The Bee Gees
Comment: And just when I had blocked that karaoke night out of my head. . .*OOC: I swear to God, I did not rig this!
Why should life be full of so much pain?
Song: But It's Better If You Do
Artist: Panic! at the Disco.
Comment: Because I'm looking for love in a lap dance? I don't even know why I have this song. I think I accidentally downloaded it from public radio.
How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
Song: Pendulum Swingers
Artist: Indigo Girls
Comment: Make your own joke. I can't even. . .
Will I ever have children?
Song: Lights
Artist: The Editors
Comment: First of all, I have children. I'm just not sure they're alive or on this planet at the moment. But. . ."If fortune favors the brave, I'm as poor as they come" doesn't seem promising.
Will I die happy?
Song: Grade 9
Artist: Barenaked Ladies
Comment: Apparently not. Do you remember ninth grade?
What is some good advice for me?
Song: Thunder Road
Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Comment: "You can hide in your covers and study your pain, make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain . . ." But you should really get in the car with the person who's put it all on the line to come rescue you, and get the hell out of there. Yeah, if you argue with this song, you don't have a soul.
What is happiness?
Song: Charlotte Sometimes
Artist: The Cure
Comment: Not most of the time, though.
What is my favourite fetish?
Song: Little Jeannie
Artist: Elton John
Comment: *stares* I need a drink.
How will I be remembered?
Song: Rainy Day Women #21 & 35
Artist: Bob Dylan
Comment: Or, maybe, I should get stoned. I suppose, if that ever happened, it would be memorable.
How do I get more sex?
Song: Take me to the River
Artist: Annie Lennox
Comment: This would actually be a pretty sexy song, if it didn't remind ome of the Big Mouth Billy Bass on that one episode of "The Sopranos." Also, I'm not sure I need 'more sex' strategies.
