Taking myself seriously, now with cut
I saw this DJ iTunes-meme over at some blog some time ago, and did it for the lulz. And then I decided to take it really seriously and comment, to make it interesting to someone else than me. Or maybe to make it more interesting for myself. I did cheat, ut not much.
1. How does the world see me?
Always breakin' my heart - Belinda Carlisle
Dear dear world, what have I done to you? A year ago, I'd say it was me not acting upon the chances you have me, not developing all the gifts and talents I have, not taking every chance. But that was a year ago. I felt so guilty about being all talent and luck, and no work. Something I have realized since then is that I work a lot. I could have gone further and I could have worked more, and I spend a lot of time on my lazy bum, but I use the opportunities given to me, and I make myself opportunities when I feel like the world is not offering me any ready-made ones. I honestly don't know in what way I'm breaking the world's heart.
2. Will I have a happy life?
Закрой за мной дверь - Кино
The song is all very "they can not risk, because they have stable homes and stable lives, but close the door begind me, because I'm leaving". Which is very srtistically pretentious in a way, but also somewhat correct in relation to my life. I don't know what it says about happiness, but the lyrics offer an opportunity to walk out of the door whenever you want to, and you'll be welcome. So I guess it's promising. I like openness.
3. What do my friends really think of me?
I want it all - Depeche Mode
I certainly want a lot, don't I? From my cake-eating-and-keeping approach to romance, to my making-lots-of-money-and-paying-lots-of-tax future plans. My constant plans for future world domination that I'm not being serious about. It's not too improbable a thought that some people who know me think of me that way. In both good and less good ways.
4. Do people secretly lust after me?
Saviour - RHCP
It's a little unclear, but I'd say yes. Secretly. Biblically.
I am a little disappointed. I'm quite new to really understanding that yes, it happens that people (secretly) lust after me and I'm all happy about my new discovery, so I wish I got a song called "People secretly lust after you a lot (all the time)".
5. How can I make myself happy?
Hey Winner - Lolita Pop
Why, winning is always a favourite! I can be quite competitive at times, and I have to admit I'm a way better loser than I am a winner. If I win at whatever, I will immediately start taking whatever seriously.
6. What should I do with my life?
Bück Dich - Rammstein
However tempting, I choose not to see this as a sign of a future in corporate hell, with my boss metaphorically sodomizing me.
7. Will I ever have children?
Anyone of us (stupid mistake) - Gareth Gates
I'm not even trying to be funny when I say it's a hit. In the sense that I am not about planning for children, in my world kids happen. I want children, maybe even before I graduate, but planning for children feels so weird.
8. What is some good advice for me?
Elite - Kent
Uuuuh, the lyrics are telling me to appreciate my roots and realize that all that running for happiness is not a sensational project, because you should appreciate the little things that are always there with you, the ordinary life. I'd think I'm pretty good at all that. Jenny from the block. The little miracles.
9. How will I be remembered?
Flash's theme reprise - Queen
Saviour of the Universe/saving everyone of us. Yah, sure. why not.
10. What is my signature dancing song?
I believe I can fly - R Kelly
DJ iTunes, go fuck yourself. Honestly.
11. What do I think my current theme song is?
One vision - Queen
Oh, this is interesting, and I could analyze it to pieces. That song is for me actively associated with Laibach's Geburt einen nation. Which is a cover, in German and more march-like, and all of a sudden much scarier. It's not about what you say, it's about how you say it. Which hits, now that I think about it, very close to home. Damn you, voice acting, I will eyeofthetiger you!
12. What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
Let's Party - Sha-Boom
A girl I don't know at all linked to my Swedish blog recently in her blog, saying that if she had to swap lives with someone, that would be me. Either she thinks her life is miserable and hates me, or she thinks my life is exciting and fun. It was a little surreal.
13. What song will play at my funeral?
Clowns (Can you see me now?) - t.A.T.u.
"Can you see me now?", yeah, that's good. I guess it'll all happen after someone locks up all my locked blogs and blog entries and everyone will find out the REAL TRUTH. That won't be that exciting, really. Pretty much what the real truth always has been, but with more whine.
14. What type of men/women do you like?
(You'd be) Honest With Me - Bob Dylan
A cliché, sure, but I really appreciate honesty. Why else would I spend time with Stangel? No, really, he's great at that "if you didn't wanna know, why did you ask?"-thing. He once told me I was not sexy. After I got upset and cried for ten minutes, he tried to make everything better by saying that I wasn't not sexy, I was just not sexy-y. Um, this is quite untranslatable (osexig / osexig-ig) and mostly a misunderstanding, but he does that kind of thing. On the other hand, he does the opposite too. I'm quite in-your-face myself, too much sometimes when I come to think about what I would think if A told me what I just told A. On the other hand, if I like you, I will most probably tell you that. In a way that will make me come off as a stalker fangirl and make you feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.
15. What is my day going to be like?
Cry Baby Cry - the Beatles
O plz no! I 'm meeting mom today.
16. Will I ever have love again?
I'll never stop - N'Sync
Why would I stop? (Answer: See #14)
