MP3 Meme

I saw this meme at Maria's.
Here is how it works. Put your MP3 player on shuffle and press next for each question. Write down the song that's playing as an answer.

This should be interesting.

1) How would you describe yourself?
Kneeling Drunkard's Plea (June Carter Cash). That would be me after more than two drinks.

2) What do you like in a guy/girl?
The Simple Story (Feist). How perfect is that title? Yes, do spare me details and drama. No victims or fucking sob stories for me please. I loathe manipulating people who prey on others' generosity to gain sympathy (which they confuse for the love they so desperately wish to receive), especially when they are mostly the "victim" of their own boneheaded choices.

3) What is your motto?
Somebody's Everything (Dolly Parton). I feel more like everybody's something.

4) What do your friends think of you?
What's Going On? (Detroit Cobras). I haven't a clue what my friends think of me. I don't think about it. Should I?

5) What do you think about often?
How We Operate (Gomez). Oh yes, I'm fascinated by how things work.

6) What do your parents think of you?
You Need a Rest (Girl Interrupted Original Score). Hahahaha... Right.

7) What do you think of your best friend?
Everybody Thinks You're a Smash (Etienne De Rocher). She *is* a smash.

8) What do you think of the person you like?
Fighting in a Sack (The Shins). It probably LOOKS like that's what she and I are doing, hubba hubba.

9) What do you want to be when you grow up?
Time Bomb (Old 97s). Tick... tick... tick... No, that's the last thing I want to be. That's more like people I loathe (see #2). When I grow up, I plan on being a happy, living-off-the-earth, hippie.

10) What do you think when you see the person you like?
Mild Child (The Shins). She's no child (tell my parents), nor is she mild (don't tell my parents).

11) What song will they play at your wedding?
Underneath the Bunker (R.E.M.). That would have been appropriate for my first wedding.

12) What will they play at your funeral?
Nefarious (Spoon). Forgoodnesssakes, I hope not.

13) What is your hobby/interest?
Needle and the Damage Done (Neil Young). This is true only in the sense that I used to play and sing this song, a lot, back in the day.

14) What is your biggest fear?
Moon on my Shoulder (Lyle Lovett). Those harmful rays, ya know...

15) What is your biggest secret?
Ozone (Angels in America Original Score). In other words, flatulence. There, I admitted it. I am known to have occasional bouts of flatulence.

16) What do you think of your friends?
All I Want Is You (Barry Lewis Polisar). I love this song; it's currently the favorite track on my player. I feel this way only about Courtney though.

17) What is your theme song?
I Turn My Camera On (Spoon). Whenever I remember to bring it along.

18) What do you think of your family?
I Am A Child (Neil Young). As the oldest, by far, in this family, hardly (though I act it sometimes). With regard to my extended family, and my parents in particular, I am a child.

19) What is your best friend's theme song?
Down to the River to Pray (Alison Krauss). I don't know that she prays much...

20) What is your mood right now?
The Fat Girl (Lyle Lovett). Hahaha... great song! I'm certainly that.

21) If your heart could talk what would it say?
Atonement (Lucinda Williams). I have plenty of atoning to do, this is true.

22) What do your co-workers think of you?
Missing You (Alison Krauss). I can't believe this title popped up. Soon they will. Then again, maybe they won't.

23) What does your future look like?
Free at Last (The Five Blind Boys of Alabama). Again, what are the odds? I could not have picked a better song for this one. Eight more weeks and I will be free at last.

Oh I like, I like. Couldn't agree more with #2. I bet your eight weeks will fly by.

Have to say that I don't know much of your music, though. I may play along with this meme tonight.

# 2 -- OUCH.

I did this in the living room. It was pretty fun and amazing how some of the songs that showed up were sooo appropriate. Others not so much.
