Some comfort here...
It seems like a lot of y'all in LJ land are having a hard week. I wish I could reach out through the interwebs and give you guys a great big hug.
*HUGS*
In other news, I just got Sarah McLachlan tickets! She is coming to Austin in November and I AM EXCITE!!!! I haven't seen her since the Afterglow tour, so woohoo!!!
Instructions: Put your iTunes Library on Shuffle and answer each of the questions with the titles of the song that comes up.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
River - Sarah McLachlan
Depression and a desperation to escape? Yeah, that sounds about right. >_<
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE?
I'm Not That GIrl - Idina Menzel (Wicked Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Ahahaha! Is my purpose one of self-pity or agonizing self-awareness? Hmmm...
WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
A Scarlet Letters - Midwest Kings
Stop thinking so shallow...yes, I could get behind that. I never want to leave here as long as you're mine. Okay, that's good, too. The rest of the song is about falling backwards and ropes around the neck, so I'll just leave it at that.
WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
How To Save A Life - The Fray
I think...I am insulted! Makes sense, though. In my life I have often played the one intervening on self-destructive friends' behalves. After college, I cut that out 'cause I realized I got my own shit to deal with! LOL.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - David Cook
Yup. Day in and day out. It's making me a little crazier every year. By the time I find it, I will be too old to do whatever it is I am supposed to do with it.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
Thank You - Alanis Morrissette
I love this song! Also, yes, thank you JP for putting up with me and loving me and pissing me off and making me laugh! ^__^
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
I Have Loved You Wrong - The Swell Season
Um. Sorry? I am rather pants at loving people. I don't always tell them how I feel, I have unrealistic expectations, and the older I get, the more closed off I seem to be. So, you know. My bad. : (
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
Rogaciano El Huapanguero - Linda Ronstadt
So I want to be a singer of Mexican folk songs/stories? The thing is, I kind of do. I kind of am. Maybe not technically a singer, but everything I do is stitched with its color (to horribly misquote a favorite poem). This is a very sad song, but I love it and damn! Can Ronstadt howl!!!
WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
Light On - David Cook
Aw, so perfect! My parents have always left a light on when we were gone, so to speak. All of us kids know we can always go home...
WHAT SONG WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
Por Ti Sere (You Raise Me Up) - Paul Potts
Perfect, too! I love this song so much, I cry every time I hear it. Well, the English version. The Italian version is very pretty, too. But how you not gonna cry at these lyrics?!
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
Fireflies - Owl City
Hee! I would love for a bunch of pop-y, happy dance tunes to be played at my funeral and everyone could boogie. Yes, that would make my dead self smile. ^___^
WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
Make Me - Midwest Kings
Yes, falling in and out of love unwillingly is kind of a hobby for me...
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
The Fall - ELO
I was only dreaming, huh? I take the fall? This can't be good! It's a liiiiiiiiiie!
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
When The Sun Goes Down - In the Heights
Well, they are saying goodbye...but it's a song of hope and the promise to stay together, so that's good.
WHAT’S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN?
Crash - Dave Mathews
You said it, Dave.
HOW WILL YOU DIE?
Yellow - Coldplay
Chris Martin is going to sing me to death? Noooooo!
WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU REGRET?
Alejate - Josh Groban
This whole song is about regret (I LOVE SPANISH MUSIC!) - the regret of true love denied and the poignancy of looking back and wishing it was all different. *sob*
WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
Black Celebration - Depeche Mode
I am dark, man! It's funny, though - the time when I was most obsessed with DM was probably the time I laughed the most...
WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?
I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt
Yeah, I will snork-cry to this like nobody's business. I know when I start listening to this song a lot, the relationship I am in is IN TROUBLE...
WHAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?
Wait For You - Elliott Yamin
I don't know why Elliott would scare me. Maybe it's the fact that he's waiting for me. Lurking. That kind of devotion is a little spooky though, to be honest...
IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?
Cupid's Chokehold - Gym Class Heroes
I would go back in time...and date someone in a band? *scratches head*
WHAT HURTS RIGHT NOW?
Smooth - Santana & Rob Thomas
It is pretty hot right now. This life ain't good enough, I guess...
