Put your iPod on shuffle and see what your soundtrack would be if your life was a movie.
Also, I'll admit, I found the idea of "inventing a storyline", so to speak, pretty fun, so I tried to imitate it here. I'm really sorry, freya. XD I'll admit, my storyline isn't as good as yours -- if anything, it sounds positively...cracky, really. And probably not in the good way.
Opening Credits: Code Monkey by Jonathan Coulton (fits me pretty well. Minus trying to hit on the secretary, of course.)
So, probably a quirky indie film in the veins of Garden State or Little Miss Sunshine? Well...okay. My life's pretty screwed up already. XD
Waking Up: Cloud Nine by Evanescence
Holy mother of whiplash! 0.0. Sadly enough, that sounds a bit like me waking up after something...pretty upsetting. So, a quirky indie film directed by Darren Aronofsky and Wes Craven? What could possibly go wrong?
Falling In Love: Closing by Patrick Stewart (Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack)
So...quirky indie film directed by Darren Aronofsky, Wes Craven and Henry Selick, written by Tim Burton? Well...I guess quirky indie horror movie then.
Fight Song: Closing by Danny Elfman (Nightmare Revisited). (Really, again?)
So, quirky indie horror film directed by Darren Aronofsky, Wes Craven and Henry Selick, written by Tim Burton, about attempts to steal Christmas and fighting the boogieman?
Breaking up song: The Trick is to Keep Breathing by Garbage.
So, quirky indie horror film directed by Darren Aronofsky, Wes Craven and Henry Selick, written by Tim Burton, about a quirky, troubled young Perky Goth woman attempting to steal Christmas after a really bad breakup and fighting the boogieman?
...sounds like NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS meets MULAN -- on drugs.
Life’s Okay: Indian Summer Sky by U2.
Quirky indie horror film directed by Darren Aronofsky, Wes Craven and Henry Selick, written by Tim Burton, about a quirky, troubled young Perky Goth woman named Alice attempting to steal Christmas after a really bad breakup and ending up fighting the boogieman in the confines of her mind. In short, NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS meets MULAN meets AMERICAN MCGEE'S ALICE meets TWILIGHT meets REVENGE OF THE SITH meets WICKED -- a crazy cocktail, really.
Getting Back Together: The Dance by Within Temptation.
Quirky indie horror film directed by Darren Aronofsky, Wes Craven and Henry Selick, written by Tim Burton, about a quirky, troubled young Perky Goth woman named Alice who goes on a roaring rampage of revenge after her boyfriend is killed, searching for the not-Necronomicon to bring him back to life, and eventually, ends up fighting the boogieman within the confines of her mind.
...you know, it sounds a bit like the not-sequel to SUBURBAN KNIGHTS meets WICKED meets AMERICAN MCGEE'S ALICE.
Wedding: Doctor Finklestein/In The Forest by Amiina (Nightmare Revisited)
...but eventually she and her boyfriend get back together and marry in this weird, gothic forest -- where, unbeknownst to them, the boogieman is watching.
Birth Of Child:
Remnants by Disturbed.
...and it turns out that, somehow, Alice was dead all along as well, basically being killed when she went on that rampage (or...something), and the boogieman's trying to actually get her back. Meanwhile, Alice, unaware of this, ends up having a child with her new husband, talking about the whole...well, everything that happened while they were being separated, even as the boogieman searches for the not-Necronomicon to bring her back.
(Jesus Christ, this is getting creepy.)
Final Battle:
Starlight by Muse.
...and it eventually comes back together at the climactic battle scene, where Alice actually tries to redeem the boogieman instead of killing him. The boogieman and Alice, eventually, are forced to team up to search for the not-Necronomicon -- along with her husband, who mostly wants Alice to be happy.
Death Scene:
Tik Tok by Ke$ha (oh sweet Jesus, no. *Buries face in hands* God, really?)
...and apparently it turns out that if you die in your mind, you return to the real world. Which, honestly, sounds like INCEPTION on crack. Seriously. 0.0.
And knowing Alice, she'd probably...take it well. Too well. 0.0.
Funeral Song:
Topsy Turvy by Clopin.
...and then of course, when Alice returns to the real world, she's at prom like nothing happened. Naturally, the now-redeemed boogieman and her husband are watching over her as well. She managed to get back to the real world without the use of the not-Necronomicon.
End Credits:
Give Me A Sign by Breaking Benjamin
And of course, Alice is still chagrined by the fact that she can't be with her husband and their child, but manages to take solace in the fact that they'll always be with her.
...wow, that just sounded like the weirdest damn film ever. Directed by Christopher Nolan, Wes Craven, Henry Selick and Darren Aronofsky, written by Tim Burton, produced by Zach Braff -- I guess there is a reason why it's called "indie", but still.
*Sighs*
Moral of the story?
I really need a better iTunes. XD
