I'm incredibly bored and procrastinating. I don't want to do my homework. Here are two iTunes memes.
Open your chosen media library for this (iTunes, WinAmp, MediaMonkey, whatever).

1. Open iTunes, and put it on random.
2. Let iTunes randomly choose a song title to respond to each of the following questions.
3. Now try to explain each of those answers! [It's okay if some of them are totally wrong, but iTunes tends to be pretty psychic ;) ]
I'm in a weird mood, so some of my explanations are kind of stupid. I was trying to amuse myself.
Where do you live: Stay Away - Nirvana
I'm not going to tell you where I live because you'll want to come over. Please, just stay away from me. I prefer life as a hermit.
Describe your first love: Dar Williams - We Learned the Sea
My first love and I explored the sea together. We saw mermaids and stuff. Good times.
What is your favorite thing to do: Hanukkah Song - Adam Sandler;
Celebrating Hanukkah is the most awesomest thing to do. Don't tell anybody, but I actually celebrate it every month - and I'm not even Jewish.
Describe your current love/crush: The New Pollution - Beck
Pollution is such a bad boy. He is totally destroying earth and the environment, but that's okay because he looks sexy doing it.
What do you like to wear: God Only Knows - The Beach Boys
I let God pick out my clothes every morning. God knows what clothes I prefer to wear, but s/he won't let me wear them. It's all good though.
What is your challenge: Wizard Chess - Harry and the Potters
And I thought regular chess was hard - well, I've never attempted to play it, so I don't know if it's really difficult. But damn, wizard chess is extremely challenging. Maybe Dumbledore could teach me a thing or to. Oh snap, Snape killed him, so I guess that won't happen. Too bad.
Who are your friends: Galapogos - The Smashing Pumpkins
Darwin is an old pal of mine. We like to braid each other's hair and discuss evolution. We love to hang out with tortoises, finches, and boobies.
Describe how you look: I've Got A Woman - John Mayer Trio
I guess I look like a lesbian who has a girlfriend. Or maybe I just look like a woman.
What did you do last night: February Stars - Foo Fighters
I traveled two months into the past just to look at the stars. It was kind of a waste of time.
What is your goal in life: Oh What A World - Rufus Wainwright
My goal is to travel the world and be so amazed that I say "Oh."
What do you do when you're angry: Feel - Robbie Williams
I touch things. Feeling makes me calm down.
When do you have sex: Miss Misery - The String Quartet Tribute to Elliott Smith
You can call me Rachel...Miss Misery if you're nasty!
I only have sex when I'm really depressed because it helps cheer me up. You know, endorphins and stuff.
How do you want to die: Your Cover's Blown - Belle and Sebastian
I'll be working on a mission as an undercover spy, but my stupid partner will fuck up and blow my cover. Then I'll be forced to eat chocolate until my stomach explodes. Not a bad way to go. Maybe I should be crucified. At least it gets you out in the open air. (I watched Life of Brian earlier today.)
What do you say to your parents: Stickman - Elliott Smith
I tell them that I'm a man, baby! And I'm skinny as a stick. Then I say, "Lonely makes me blue / Envy turns me green / Hate might paint me red."
Where do you hang out: The Spark - The Flaming Lips
I hang out at that SparkNotes website because I'm too stupid to read whole books.
What do you think of society: Papillion - Radar Bros.
Everyone should have a Papillion. They are awesome dogs and would make society better.
Describe your most recent heartbreak: Give Me Novocaine - Green Day
True story - My dentist drilled my tooth without giving me any novociane. My poor tooth heart.
What is your excuse for everything: I Want Money - Flying Lizards
I tell people that I was too busy thinking about money. I won't do anything unless I get paid. I guess that makes me a whore.
What are your thoughts on a Friday evening: All I Want For Christmas - My Chemical Romance
Every Friday night I set aside two hours to think about Christmas and all the presents that I want.
What is your unanswered question about life: Nude as the News - Cat Power
I guess my question is - Why don't more naked people report the news?
What is your favorite color: Antonio Carlos Jobim - Elliott Smith
That would be an awesome name for a color. "Pass me the Antonio Carlos Jobim crayon. I need it to complete my masterpiece."
What is your advice to those less experienced: Home Life - John Mayer
Hmm, if you are less experienced, you probably stay home a lot. So my advice is...continue to stay home because you can have an awesome life there. If I actually look at the lyrics, my advice would be don't have a prenuptial agreement. Don't be mad if it doesn't work out because you both said eternity. So there.
What would you rather be doing right now: The Drugs Don't Work - Howie Day
I guess I would rather be doing anything but drugs. I'm immune to them.
Describe your best friend: Yellow - Coldplay
Why couldn't this song have come three questions ago?
My best friend has liver disease; that's why s/he is yellow. Whenever I'm around my best friend, I like to sing, "They call me Mellow Yellow." It really cheers them up.
What's under your bed: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1 - The Flaming Lips
It would be pretty cool to have a battle going on under your bed, but I'm screwed if Yoshimi doesn't destroy those robots. They'll eat me.
What is your most prized possession: She's The One - Robbie Williams
My girlfriend is my most prized possession. She's all mine, and I own her. You can totally own people, and it's not obsessive or crazy or anything.
Where will you honeymoon: Si Te Vas - Shakira
It doesn't matter where I go because my husband will just leave. Bastard.
What is on your to-do list: Whip It - Devo
That's going to be fun. I can't wait to start whipping. I just need to buy a whip first.
Where would you rather be: My Lady's House - Iron & Wine
Wow. My iTunes must really think I'm a lesbian.
