Time Wasters, Or My Theme Song Is A Cock Rock Song With A Dickensian Theme

This is based on a post from the blog of Jenny, whom Amanda knows much more closely than I do. I do enjoy her blog, though. The premise of this is like those silly chain mails that are rampant, but, it utilizes the shuffle feature of the ipod, so that seems fairly fun to me...

1. How am I feeling today?Shuffle says: "Wash The Day" by TV On The Radio
3. What is my best friend's theme song?Shuffle says: "Microphone Fiend" by Eric B. and Rakim
4. What was high school like?Shuffle says: "My Friend Goo" by Sonic Youth (super-hip, oh yeah!)
5.What is the best thing about me?Shuffle says: "You Don't Know Jesus" by Mogwai. tell me about it.
6. How is today going to be?Shuffle says: "So Many Animal Calls" by Q and Not U. dance party at the vet's. cats and marmosets, dogs and falcons...
7. What is in store for this weekend?Shuffle says: "Shake Appeal" by The Stooges. heroin fueled dance party. this time, no animals.
8. What song describes my parents?Shuffle says: "Wave Of Mutilation" by the Pixies. well...
9. How is my life going?Shuffle says: "Playland" by Mission Of Burma. yeah, that works.
10. What song will they play at my funeral?Shuffle says: "Big Heartbreak" by the Rosebuds. that would work really well. really, really well. wow, this song sounds different to me now.
11. How does the world see me?Shuffle says: "All Things Must Pass" by George Harrison. very Buddhist.
12. What do my friends really think of me?Shuffle says: "My Wife" by The Who. my friends think my wife is gonna kill me?
13. Do people secretly lust after me?Shuffle says: "I'm Sticking With You" by the Velvet Underground. Innocently, and childlike, people lust after me, secretly.
14. How can I make myself happy?Shuffle says: "Hurry Up, Let's Go" by The Shout Out Louds. If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands, lots of times before the song starts
15. What should I do with my life?Shuffle says: "Introduction" by Quasi. Well, that gets me started.
16. Will I ever have children?Shuffle says: "Pancho And Lefty" by Townes Van Zandt. two of them, and they'll be tragic outlaws.
17. What is some good advice?Shuffle says: "Walking With Thee" by Clinic. "if you climb up the stairs, you climb up forever". not sure where that'll get me.
18. What do I think my current theme song is?Shuffle says: "Good Times. Bad Times." by Led Zeppelin. can't go wrong with a Dickensian cock rock song for your theme.
19. What does everyone else think about my current life?Shuffle says: "Jimmy Jazz" by The Clash. So, the police are looking for me, at least my friends are diverting them.
20. What type of women do you like?Shuffle says: "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys. it is the most perfect song ever. and it really works as an answer for this question.
21. Will you get married?Shuffle says: "Little Red Corvette" by Prince. that sounds like a yes. with lots of sex.
22. What should I do with my love life?Shuffle says: "Use It" by The New Pornographers. I think that's what I'll do with it. I'll use it.
23. Where will you live?Shuffle says: "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You" by The Beatles. the dance floor, that's where I'll live. that's all I need, really.
24. What will your dying words be?Shuffle says: "Emma, Get Me A Lemon" by The Walkmen. the possibilities of this are endless.
25. When I'm having sex, I say...Shuffle says: "Dog Paddle" by Modest Mouse. hmm....
26. When I meet a girl for the first time I say...Shuffle says: "Sex Born Poison" by Air. double hmm....
27. When my parents are angry I say...Shuffle says: "The Heart Of Saturday Night" by Johnathon Richman. If they're angry, I'm out on the street in a three street town.
28. Will you ever get the career you want?Shuffle says: "Sleeping Bear, Sault St. Marie" by Sufjan Stevens. that's fairly ambivalent
29. What do your colleagues think of you?Shuffle says: "Blinded By The Light" by Bruce Springsteen. I'm a teenage diplomat. and they probably know me better in the cover version.
30. Do you believe in god?Shuffle says: "AT&T" by Pavement. "maybe, someone is gonna save me..." "room service calls, roooom serrrvice ca-aaa-lls, in the random halls" so, yes?

that was fun.
