I usually don't do memes, but I found this one intriguing. The idea is to set your MP3 player on shuffle and use the tracks that come up to answer the following questions:
1) How does the world see you?
"The Libyans - Back to the Future soundtrack"
First reaction: That's great. No, really. Why do don't you add me to Jack Bauer's hit list while you're at it?
Second reaction: "Oh my god, they've found me. I don't know how, but they've found me. Run for it Marty!" "Who? Who?" "Who do you think? KeiranHalcyon31!"
2) How do YOU see you?
"Deep Sixed - Battlestar Galactica miniseries soundtrack"
An ominous title for an ominous track, with a dual meaning for BSG fans. The track does end on a hopeful note, though.
3) What do my friends think of me?
"Battlestar Muzaktica - Battlestar Galactica Season 1 soundtrack"
Again with the BSG. A fun, easy-going track.
4) Do people lust after me?
"Town square - Back to the Future soundtrack"
And now I begin to question the randomness of WMP's shuffle feature. Oh, wait - Microsoft. Right.
5) How can I make my self happy?
"On the road again - Willie Nelson - Forrest Gump soundtrack"
I'm not happy sticking around in one place? Is that what you're trying to tell me? Not buying it.
6) What should I do with my life?
"Drums of the Dead - Icewind Dale soundtrack"
This is one of the game's fight scene tracks. Yes, that's right, I should kick butt for goodness.
7) What will I do with my life?
"Leaving Port - Titanic soundtrack"
Ahead one quarter - take us out.
8) What is good advice for me?
"Belhifel's Doom - Icewind Dale soundtrack"
...at least the advice is consistent.
9) How will I be remembered?
"The Sinking - Titanic soundtrack"
I suppose it's a worthy memorial.
10) What's my signature dance song?
"Power Grid - SimCity 3000 soundtrack"
I suppose parts of this are danceable, but in general - no.
11) What is my theme song?
"A Whole Family of Supers - The Incredibles soundtrack"
Finally some music I can get behind - I love this soundtrack. Very big-band, brassy, & James Bond-esque, although I wouldn't have picked this exact track. The villain cuts them off just as things start getting good....
12) What do others think my theme song is?
"The German Sub/To the Nazi Hideout - Raiders of the Lost Ark soundtrack"
John Williams - always a favorite.
13) What will they play at my funeral?
"Main Title - Back to the Future part III soundtrack"
Actually, after the intro (which is typical for the series), this track is rather sweet.
14) What type of woman do I like?
"SimCity Theme - SimCity 3000 soundtrack"
Jazzy riffs with a sense of class, evoking an image of a bright future. Take it for what you will.
15) How's my love life?
"A Tree For My Bed - Jurassic Park soundtrack"
Nothing exciting, but at least it's pleasant. And it has "bed" in the title. (Random side note: "except in bed" is the new "in bed".)
16) What is a problem I will face soon?
"Black Market - Battlestar Galactica Season 2 soundtrack"
I'm in computer hardware, not law enforcement. Black market computer parts shutting down the industry? Doubtful.
17) Will I die happy?
"T-Rex Rescue & Finale - Jurassic Park soundtrack"
This is the scene where the surviving characters escape, thanks to the timely intervention of the island's resident T-rex. The velociraptors didn't fare quite as well.
18) What is happiness?
"Lower Dorn's Deep - Icewind Dale soundtrack"
Umm... no.
19) What should I do instead of this?
"San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) - Scott McKenzie - Forrest Gump soundtrack"
Oddly enough, I live within easy driving distance of the title city. Flowers in my hair? Not so much my thing, but maybe my brother (figuratively speaking).
20) How will I die?
"The Stargate Opens - Stargate soundtrack"
Exploring new worlds - I like it.
