Can’t remember where I saw this originally, but I know Phantom Scribbler <\/a>and Scrivenings <\/a>have done it. I’ve had it bookmarked since before I got my iPod, but just stumbled across it when cleaning up some old files. And since we’re on vacation this week, it’s a perfect time to drag out an old meme everybody on the interwebs except me has done!<\/p>\n

Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING.<\/p>\n

How does the world see you?
<\/em>Everybody Wants to Rule the World – Tears for Fears
(no, really!!)<\/p>\n

Will I have a happy life?
<\/em>Gift Shop – The Tragically Hip
(hey, as my mother always said – if love me, buy me things!)<\/p>\n

What do my friends really think of me?
<\/em>Poets – The Tragically Hip
(I swear, I am NOT making this shit up!)<\/p>\n

Do people secretly lust after me?
<\/em>You are the Sunshine of my Life – Stevie Wonder
(we walked down the aisle to this song – maybe this signifies the end of lust??)<\/p>\n

How can I make myself happy?
<\/em>I don’t like Mondays – The Boomtown Rats
(Given. So I should avoid Mondays?)<\/p>\n

What should I do with my life?
<\/em>Hello City – Barenaked Ladies
(That’s a bit more cryptic, isn’t it? This song is about Halifax. I am NOT moving to Halifax, no offense to the Haligonians in the audience. Nor, for that matter, do I plan to spend any more time than necessary as a bare naked lady.)<\/p>\n

Will I ever have children?<\/em>
Twist my Arm – The Tragically Hip
(The Hip answers are all the cleverest ones, aren’t they? Maybe it’s a sign. I’ve always had a musical crush on Gord Downie.)<\/p>\n

What is some good advice for me?<\/em>
Fly from Heaven – Toad the Wet Sprocket
(Um – I think I’ll just leave that one alone.)<\/p>\n

How will I be remembered?<\/em>
Hot Child in the City – Nick Guilder
(okay, I may be remembered for any one of a thousand things, but all modesty aside, “hot” will never be one of them. And I’m fine with that.)<\/p>\n

What is my signature dancing song?
<\/em>She Loves me like a Rock – Paul Simon
(hey, it’s got a good beat at least…)<\/p>\n

What do I think my current theme song is?<\/em>
Pretty in Pink – The Psychedelic Furs
(okay, that was weird enough to make the hair on the back of my arms stand up)<\/p>\n

What does everyone else think my current theme song is?<\/em>
Home for a Rest – Spirit of the West
(appropriate after a weekend visiting my brother’s family)<\/p>\n

What song will play at my funeral?<\/em>
It’s a Kind of Magic – Queen
(should have been “who wants to live forever” if we’re doing Queen.)<\/p>\n

What type of men\/women do you like?<\/em>
Men: Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of – U2
Women: Somebody Told Me – The Killers<\/p>\n

What is my day going to be like?<\/em>
The one I Love – R.E.M.
(well, I’m spending the day with the ones I loves)<\/p>\n

That was fun! Let me know if you haven’t done it and you decide to play along!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
