1. How are you feeling today?
The Shins - Those to Come
Eyeless in the morning sun you were
Pale and mild, a modern girl
Taken with thought, still prone to care
Makin tea in your underwear
You went out in the yard to find
Something to eat and clear your mind
Something bad inside me went away
--I accept this. I just woke up so that applies. I made some tea, so that's good. And I do feel the bad inside me gone this morning. It's a new day, I love that.
2. Will you get far in life?
The Beatles - Here comes the Sun
Here comes the Sun
Here comes the Sun and I say
It's alright
--With this song, absolutly! It's so optimistic that I'll take it as I will get far in life.
3. How do your friends see you?
Green Day- She's a Rebel
She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous
--Hahahahahaha! I haven't listened to this album pretty much ever. And my friends must think alot of me if this is true. I don't think I'm the salt of the earth though...
4. Will you get married?
Jupitr Sunrise-This Beauty
When your words come too easily for me to believe and this paint goes on too thinly to peel away.
I will find a silver lining sometime.
Blur my vision and I'll be fine. And I'll be fine
--Ok, this is either taken two ways. I'll be fine could be "of course you'll get married, you'll be fine!" or "um, well no, but you'll be fine!" I'm going to go with the first one...
5. What are your best friends theme song?
Streetlight Manifesto - Forty Days
And it's been forty days
I've tried forty ways
You will never quite leave your sins behind
They'll haunt you, taunt you until the day you die
You will never really go
You'll just think about it much but you'll need to know how the story ends,
so you'll sit around, even though you should just go
--Well, the lyrics don't really apply. But lots of my friends like Streetlight so it is acceptable.
6. What is the story of your life?
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Fire and Rain
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
-- I love this! It's a classic sentimental song about noticing the world and loss yet it's all skaed out. This is good.
7. What was high school life like?
Simon and Garfunkel - America
Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes
And Mrs. Wagner's pies
And walked off to look for America
--This is actually great! The beginning of high school I was sort of lost but over time I came to find myself. It's like how they were trying to find the essence of America. I like it!
8. How can you get ahead in life?
Grateful Dead - Scarlet Begonias
As I was walkin round grosvenor square
Not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air,
From the other direction, she was calling my eye,
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try, might as well try.
--Hahaha! I could either be a whore with rings on my fingers and bells on my shoes or I could just sell scarlet begonias!
9. What is the best thing about your friends?
Ben Folds - Hava Nagila
Hava nagila, hava nagila
Hava nagila venis'mecha!
--This is fantastic! It works because alot of my good friends are Jewish. Also translated it means "Let us Rejoice!" which we do alot.
10. What's in store for this weekend?
The Shins - Caring is Creepy
I think I'll go home and mull this over
Before I cram it down my throat
At long last it's crashed, the colossal mass
Has broken up into bits in my moat.
--Umm, this song generally doesn't make much sense. I don't think caring is creepy though! I like caring! :P
11. Describe your grandparents.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium
One day I'll come back if the door's still open
Bells around St. Petersburg
When I saw you
I hope I get what you deserve
And this is where I find
Smoke surrounds your perfect face
And I'm falling
Pushing a broom out into space
And this is where I find a way
--This is actually really love. All my grandparents have passed away so this is almost a mystic type song.
12. How's your life going?
The Velvet Underground - I'm Sticking with You
I'm sticking with you
'Cos I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too
You held up a stage coach in the rain
And I'm doing the same
Saw you're hanging from a tree
And I made believe it was me
--This is beyond me. This song is mad weird anyway.
13. What song will they play at your funeral?
The Bens - Just Pretend
Well I held you with our undry eyes
Happy years pass by
It's ok to cry
After all
In the end
Just pretend
--The lyrics, not so much. But musically, this song is beautiful so I accept.
14. How the world sees you?
Aha - Take On Me
We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?
--Oh My God! Life knows me too well! And I know the whole world views me through this song, it's my ringtone!
15. Do people secretly lust after you?
A Smile - Hootie and the Blowfish
They pulled the switch that sent me far
Into the rich and distant stars
Bounced me back into your car
Returning with a smile
Constantly in rotation
An astronaut on the radio station
Passing on that sweet sensation
If only for a while
--I guess I make people smile. That's a good skill!
16. How can you make yourself happy?
Stevie Wonder - Living for the City
A boy is born in hard time mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that aint so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!
--I guess I need to go to the city!
17. What should you do with your life?
MIKA - Happy Ending
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
--Love I suppose
18. Will you ever have children?
The Beatles - Drive My Car
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said baby, can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between
--Sounds like I'm going to be a soccer mom....oy!
19. What song would you strip to?
The Beatles - Octopus' Garden
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade
--Oh no! That would be hilariously awful!
20. What does your mom think of you?
Fleetwood Mac - The Chain
Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies
--My mom and I would totally listen to the wind blow but she doesn't lie to me. I love my mommy!
21. What is your deep dark secret?
Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good
Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt,
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull t-shirt,
You say “what did you do with him today?”,
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray
--I guess I'm a crack whore! Who knew? What a secret!
22. What is your mortal enemy's theme song?
Death Cab for Cutie - Your Bruise
It's a backwards attraction to your forward eyes
But you're so far-sighted that you can't place trust
In what or who you recognize
We sped the plymouth cross the banks of the mississippi river
Mary timony was smaller then a super ball
--Um, I guess my mortal enemy is sorta emo!
23. What is your personality like?
The Beatles - If I Fell
If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
Cos I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands
--For such a simple song, this ones very cryptic. Maybe I'm a trustworthy person?
24. What song will be played at your wedding?
Janis Joplin - Move Over
You say that it’s over baby, Lord,
You say that it’s over now,
But still you hang around me, come on,
Won’t you move over.
You know that I need a man, honey Lord,
You know that I need a man,
But when I ask you to you just tell me
That maybe you can.
--Well, I guess my husband and I will have quite a failure to communicate at our wedding! :P
That's that.
Peace and Love
