buncha quizzes from I know not where
Actually, I know where, but it's that whole dead journal thing, and thus:
This one's somewhat simple--boot up your player of choice, WinAmp, iTunes, whatever. Put it on shuffle, your entire collection. Ask each question aloud and hit the next song button. See what happens.
What do you think of me, iTunes?
"I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore...If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before...But I have a talent, a wonderful thing--'cause everyone listens when I start to sing.."
"Thank You For the Music", ABBA
Hee. No, iTunes, I asked what you think of me, not yourself...
Will I have a happy life?
"No one knows what it's like to be the bad man...to be the sad man...behind blue eyes..."
"Behind Blue Eyes", the Who
Gee. Thanks.
What do my friends really think of me?
"Every time I look in your eyes, I see St. Peter wave..."
"Dig My Grave", They Might Be Giants
I'd like to apologize to my friends...
Err.
Do people secretly lust after me?
"When I look back upon my life, it's always with a sense of shame..."
"It's a Sin", Pet Shop Boys
Okay, iTunes, now you're just getting judgemental.
How can I make myself happy?
"Wait until it fades to black...Ride into the sunset...Would I lie to you?"
"Hang 'Em High", My Chemical Romance
Um. Maybe.
What should I do with my life?
"Take a litle walk to the edge of town...Go across the tracks..."
"Red Right Hand", Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Well. That's awfully literal. And goddamn short term.
Why must life be so full of pain?
"I don’t know who to trust...No surprise..."
"From the Inside", Linkin Park
True, but...bleak.
How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
Oh, she may be weary...Them young girls, they do get wearied...wearing that same old miniskirt dress...But when she gets weary, you try a little tenderness..."
"Try A Little Tenderness", Andrew Strong
...wait. iTunes is advocating me dating young girls?!?
Will I ever have children?
"Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did, I've got what I paid for now..."
"Tom Traubert's Blues", Tom Waits
...yeah, I don't get that one, either.
Will I die happy?
"Won't you come see about me? I'll be alone, dancing, you know it baby..."
"Don't You (Forget About Me)", Simple Minds
Well, alone but dancing? I'd say that's happy.
Can you give me some advice?
"Just when everything was making sense, you took away all my self-confidence...Now all that I've been hearing must be true--I guess I'm not the only boy for you..."
...Err. iTunes, this is not the time to get all moody.
What do you think happiness is?
I found your letter in my mailbox today...You were just checking if I was okay...And if I miss you, well, you know what they say..."
Happiness is...receiving letters that inspire melancholy.
The sad thing is, these are my songs, hee.
What's my favorite fetish?
"I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine...On a cloud of sound I drift in the night..."
"Magic Carpet Ride", Steppenwolf
Well. I guess. Music as fetish? Music as life force, maybe.
...that was profoundly unhelpful. :)
Next one.
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal...along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you...
"Every now and then a rumor surfaced in one of the Roman newspapers that Pope Pius XIII would sometimes steal away from the Vatican to wander anonymously by night through a city he had gotten to know well in nearly a decade at the Curia."
William D. Montalbano, Basilica. Hee.
