If anyone wonders how Jeremy's visit went... in a word, it was AWESOME. The only problem is now I miss him like crazy. Sigh.
Here, have some memes! It's been a while!
This week's
thefridayfive is about goals:
1. We are a third of the way through this year. How are those New Years Resolutions coming along? I didn't really make any, but the only goal I had at the beginning of the year was completely shot by the end of the first month. Thanks, Jeremy!
2. Have your goals for the year changed? YES.
3. When working on personal achievements, do you do better when left alone, or do you need a support network of friends/family? I feel like I'm supposed to say I need a support network, but... hmm. I tend to keep things to myself to avoid public failure; I flog myself for failure more than anyone else probably would anyway. Having people nag or judge me doesn't tend to motivate me.
4. Who is your best personal airbag? Me, myself, and I!
5. What song or quote do you think best describes you right now? I will let the next meme decide that:
Music meme stolen from
ladyhadhafang, who posted it nearly a month ago... yup, that's how I roll, very sloooooooooowly. I love music memes, especially now that I have an awesome iTunes collection again :D
According to my shuffle...
1. How does the world see you?
"Infinity" by Madonna
[Hmm. I'm... going to live forever? Yay! *waits for Nam to come up with a more mathematical interpretation]
2. Will I have a happy life?
"We Aite (Wake Your Mind Up)" by Kid Cuti
[I've never heard this song before, and it's so short I'm tempted to skip it but THAT WOULD BE CHEATING. Um... wtf? I'll take it as a "maybe, if you're alert" - lol]
3. What do my friends really think of me?
"Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen
[I doubt this describes any of my friendships, meme, but at least it's a fun, light-hearted song!]
4. Do people secretly lust after me?
"Rosanna" by Toto
[given that the singer is lusting after this Rosanna chick who's been gone nearly a year, I'ma take that as a YES!]
5. How can I make myself happy?
"Heaven On The Way" by Local H
[O.o I'm not gonna be happy 'til I die? At least the meme has me going to heaven!]
6. What should I do with my life?
"Uhh Ahh" by Boyz II Men
[Oh! Have more sex! Okay, I'll work on that...]
7. Will I ever have children?
"I'm Your Man" by Leonard Cohen
[LOL way to sidestep the question! Hey, this song is cool, though... never heard it before. *listens* Oh, he says he'll be the father of my child, I guess that's a yes... but it's based on if *I* want that, so... no? The jury is out]
8. What is some good advice for me?
"Be Still My Beating Heart" by Sting
[Not literally, I hope!]
9. How will I be remembered?
"Deora Ar Mo Chroi" by Enya
[Had to google that one, I don't know Gaelic! It apparently means "Tears On My Heart" - awww. It was beautiful all day/The sweet voices by my side/And beauty without despair everywhere/Joy in my heart forever Awwww! And the song sounds like something you could hear in a church. Well done, meme!]
10. What is my signature dancing song?
"Adore" by Prince
[Okay, that fits because it can ONLY be a slow dance, and I don't dance!]
11. What do I think my current theme song is?
"Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)" by David Bowie
[LOL. Is this... about my cats? Or... huh.]
12. What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
"I Walk the Line" by Live
[Haha, I can't see it as a THEME song for me, but I suppose y'all see me differently than I see myself.]
13. What song will play at my funeral?
"Fields of Gold" by Sting
[this is where that Enya song should have been! This one's not grossly inappropriate, though. It even starts with "You'll remember me..."]
14. What type of men/women/ do you like?
"You're A God" by Vertical Horizon
[Haha, YES!!!!]
15. What is my day going to be like tomorrow?
"To Have And Not To Hold" by Madonna
[Wow, yup, that's about right, at least by the title alone. Unless holding a 2-year-old counts?]
Out of the hundreds of artists available to shuffle amongst, I find it odd that there are two repeats up there. That's happened previously when I've shuffled, too. What gives, iTunes?
