I've done things a bit different and decided to take lines from songs I can remember off the top of my head and try to figure out something about me that relates to those songs.
1)
Welcome to the halls of death,
Great Oðin we hail him!
Come in, enjoy the glorious afterlife my friend!
Here we fill the Ranks of Týr,
Battle is our way!
For every morning, noon and night
Til the Winter fiercest comes!
Einherjer - Home
Much like Khan Mongol, I am very much pro-heroics and hope to die in a spectacularly glorious way. Unlike Charley, though, I don't have a job that could aid me in getting to Valhalla. I guess I'll need to do that the old fashioned way by taking stupid risks and getting into fights I should know better than to be involved in.
2)
No the game never ends
When your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card.
The Alan Parsons Project - Turn of a Friendly Card Pt. I
Some times I feel like the world is just playing with me; putting me into situations where I can't win, but can't lose either. So I keep on going in the (possibly) vain hope that, some day, the winning card'll turn up.
3)
It was an April morning when they told us we should go.
I look at you, you smiled at me, how could we say no?
With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again.
Led Zeppelin - Achilles' Last Stand
I love to travel, and I enjoy the experience of being somewhere I've never been before. I get wanderlust way too easily and hate sticking around in one place overlong. Experience, for me, is more than just a number to get to the next level. It's the reason we're alive.
4)
Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand
Blind Guardian - The Maiden and the Minstrel Knight
I'm a hopeless romantic. I really am. Maybe not demonstratively, but definately conceptually. I might be a sucker, but I believe in love.
5)
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
The Pretenders - I'll Stand By You
I'm loyal, some may say to a fault, but even though I may fail (fantastically at some times) I will do everything I can to help and protect those I care about.
6)
Well my pad is very messy, got whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems ’cause I’ve always paid the rent
Chicago - I'm a Man
When important things need to be taken care of, I take care of them. Laundry isn't so much important. Rent and bills are. There are times that I hate the responsibility, but then I remind myself that someone's gotta do it, and if I don't, who will?
7)
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held
It pays my way, and it corrodes my soul
I want to leave, you will not miss me
I want to go down in musical history
The Smiths - Frankly, Mr. Shankly
In the 9 years I've been working, I've held precisely 1 job that I've enjoyed: Labouring with my Uncles. It was good, honest work and even though I went home exhausted, filthy and sore every single night, I got up at 4 the next morning to do it all again. The last 7 years, though, I've been doing some form of telemarketing or another and I've hated it. I can't stand this work. The people are great, for the most part, but I get 0 job satisfaction from any of it. The day ends, and I haven't built anything or taught anyone anything. But I've made some companies a good bit of money. Woohoo.
