Journey With Me Through iTunes

Stealing this meme from Wanda and Hers.

These were the instructions: 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

How does the world see you?
“Stay the Night” – Mariah Carey.
Oh my god! I’m a slut!!

Will I have a happy life?
“Conditioner” – Wu Tang Clan feat Snoop Dogg
Hmm, not sure how to interpret this one. I should be using Pantene?

What do my friends really think of me?
“Army Jazz” – Audio Sauce
Yep, army jazz totally sums me up.

Do people secretly lust after me?
“How Would I Know” – Melissa Etheridge
Funnily enough this is exactly the right answer!

How can I make myself happy?
“The Boogie That Be” – Black Eyed Peas
Yes, boogie till you just can’t boogie no more, and you will be truly happy.

What should I do with my life?
“Stronger” – Britney Spears
This is the universe’s way of telling me to start going to the gym again.

Will I ever have children?
“Miuzi Weighs A Ton” – Public Enemy
I dunno about the uzi, but the children certainly weigh a ton when you are lugging them around the Newtown Festival because everytime you put them down, they either scream or run away as fast as their legs can carry them. Actually maybe an uzi would be kind of handy.

What is some good advice for me?
“3121″ – Prince
What sort of bloody advice is that?!? Thanks for nothing.

How will I be remembered?
“Good Enough” – Sarah McLachlan
Ha ha ha! I hope so!

What is my signature dancing song?
“Loving Days” – Kylie Minogue
Not really.

What do I think my current theme song is?
“Waltz” – Goldenhorse
Time to take up ballroom dancing – or is there a new series of Dancing With The Stars about to begin?

What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
“Hot Night” – Me’shell Ndegeocello
Refer to “I am a slut”, above.

What song will play at my funeral?
“One More Dollar” – Gillian Welch
In my current financial crisis, yes please.

What type of men/women do you like?
“Higher [Journey To Heaven Mix]” – Frankie Knuckles
Druggies.

What is my day going to be like?
“No Plans For Later” – the Mutton Birds
Ha ha! If only! More like work, work, more work.

Well, that was slightly embarrassing, but no more than I deserve.

PS I used to hate Mariah Carey, but somehow have got totally addicted to her new album! I guess you can’t ignore a comeback like that.

Another Book Meme

Geez, they come around fast don’t they? Thanks Asher (I think).

You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451. Which book do you want to be?
Hmm, so many, but I think I would be The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman – familiarity and strangeness blended seamlessly. The bridge between childhood and maturity.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
A zillion television characters, but I don’t suppose they count! I can’t remember any specifically from books but I’m a rather crush-prone person, so it’s likely.

The last book you bought is:
Embarrassingly, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. I’ve been meaning to read it for ages, there’s something really satisfying about a gripping, unputdownable book even if it is opiate for the masses. Besides, it was on special at the Warehouse!

The last book you finished is?
Stoner McTavish by Sarah Drerer – your typical lesbian mystery book, funny characters, a good romance.

What are you currently reading?
The aforementioned The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Getting Used to Dying by Zhangng Xianliang (a more challenging read). Teaching Reading to Children With Down Syndrome – hoping to do this with Archie this year.

Five Books you would take to a deserted Island?
The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien – never get sick of this one
Fingersmith by Sarah Waters – for a lesbian romp and a dose of melodrama
The complete Harry Potter series by JK Rowling – pure escapism
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare – endlessly thought provoking
The Odyssey by Homer – inspiring for one stuck on a desert island

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
Sidherian – more lesbian romps?
Jessie @ the Backyard – she needs another book meme
ACP – something to blog about?

That’s enough about my reading habits to last a lifetime – no more book memes!
