Intermeme courtesy of
active_apathy and
goblinpaladin, edited because I have no friends for better verisimilitude:
1. Set $media_app to random.
2. For each question, press 'next' to divine the answer.
3. Write down that song, regardless of silliness. Silliness is kind of the point.
1. Q: Are you male or female?
A: Shawn Colvin, "Suicide Alley"
...apparently my iTunes been hanging with
goblinpaladin's Winamp or something. I swear, I'm a dude and I don't mind! Honest!
2. Q: Describe yourself.
A: Counting Crows, "Daylight Fading"
Oh, so it's more a general self-destructiveness/depression. Though you'd think it'd wait to tell me until...
3. Q: How do you feel about yourself?
A: Leroy - New World
Ain't no more second chances, there ain't no turning back ... so, I'm at some kind of crossroads? Gotta make the change?
4. Q: Describe your ex.
Vanessa Carlton, "Paint It Black"
Not applicable - fortunately, it seems. (Geez, how many 'somebody died/is about to die' songs do I got?)
5. Q: Describe yourcurrent next partner.
A: Smash Mouth, "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby"
Hey, that sounds promising! Thanks, iTunes!
6. Q: Describe your current location.
A: Tracy Chapman, "For My Lover"
Hey, that doesn't sound promising! Don't say that, iTunes! I don't want to have to treat Can't-Get-Enough-Of-You-Baby to a concrete-floored unfinished box full of boxes and a sump pump! (Although if she don't object, I guess it's a good sign for the relationship...)
7. Q: Describe what you want to be.
A: Eva Cassidy, "Blues in the Night"
Hey! I resemble that remark!
8. Q: Describe your best friend.
A: Beginning of the End, "Funky Nassau Pt. 1"
Hmm! K's a hepper cat than I thought! Well, I already knew he was a pretty good pianist, and he does play bugle and guitar too - makes sense!
9. Q: Your favourite colour is...
A: Pat Benatar, "Love Is A Battlefield"
Red! Yes!
10. Q: You know that...
A: Joni Mitchell, "My Old Man"
So ... I'm very dependent on my (well, we'll just scratch the boy-) friend to keep me happy? I suppose that makes sense, if 'friend' is taken to mean 'favorite books'.
11. Q: What is the weather like?
A: Semisonic, "She Spreads Her Wings"
"At night, she spreads her wings"...
*looks out window*
Night, check! Looks like it's accurate!
12. Q: If your life was a television show, what would it be called?
A: The Cardigans, "Iron Man"
Ha! 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, 26.2 marathon? Bring it on! Or, wait...
*listens to lyrics*
...uh, dystopian steampunk future? I guess ... actually, that's pretty cool. Would probably show three episodes on Fox and get cancelled, though.
13. Q: What is life to you?
A: The Beatles, "Dig A Pony"
...err, what?
*checks Wikipedia*
Yeah, "doesn't make any sense" fits. Thanks, John Lennon!
14. Q: What is the best advice you have to give?
A: Semisonic, "Surprise"
...that's true. Taking initiative, doing the things you want to do to make your life good and breaking the expectations of those around you? Those are excellent things to do.
15. Q: Describe your love life.
A: Suzanne Vega, "Luka"
Err, no. No abusive relationships here, no sir, these are not the droids you're looking for, move along, no.
Like the song, though. The music video on an old MTV tape is what introduced me to Suzanne Vega in the first place.
16. Q: How are you going to die?
A: Spoon, "The Book I Write"
Cool! I get to be <spoiler source="Stranger than Fiction">hit by a bus rescuing a kid who shouldn't have been trusted alone on a bicycle</spoiler>! Either that, or Nano will be really hard when I finally try it...
17. Q: If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
A: The Go-Go's, "Head Over Heels"
Apparently an impulse choice.
18. Q: What do your friends think of you?
A: Joan Armatrading, "More Than One Kind of Love"
Well appreciated. *phew!* Also, seemingly, they know they can call me if something goes wrong.
19. Q: What is your funeral song going to be?
A: Nancy Sinatra, "In Our Time"
Apparently, I'll be taking a shot at the degradation of modern culture at my funeral. Dang kids!
20. Q: What are you going to repost this as?
A: Eva Cassidy, "Wayfaring Stranger"
Not particularly wayfaring as yet, but I guess it gotta work somehow...
