Y’all y’all y’all!  You are going to find this surprising but guess what?!  I have nothing of interest to say!  I KNOW.  I nearly fell over from the shock myself.  So, in lieu of actual fascinating content, I’m going to redo a meme I did awhile back.  I know, I know, no one likes memes but me, yadda yadda boringcakes but guess what else?  This is MY BLOG and I’ll do a meme if I want to.  SO THERE.

Woo, that was a mite on the defensive side, wasn’t it?  Sorry, folks.  I think I’m just ashamed that it has come to this.

ANYHOO.  Without further ado, I re-present (I don’t think that’s a word), a gloriously fascinating iPod meme.  I’ve changed my playlists considerably of late, so this one should be totally different than the last.

Here’s the rules:  Put your iTunes on shuffle.  For each question, press the next button to get your answer.  Use that song name, no matter how silly it sounds!

IF SOMEONE SAYS “IS THIS OKAY,” YOU SAY?

“Tuesday’s Gone” – Metallica

And then they think I’m crazy for spouting such nonsensical answers.

WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?

“Propane Nightmares” – Pendulum

I think I find that mildly insulting.  Although my husband would say that I am definitely a nightmare at times.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?

“The Memory Remains” – Metallica

I’m not sure what that means.

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?

“St. Anger” – Metallica

Actually, I’m feeling rather mellow today.  Some days I am a seething ball of hate, but not so much today.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE?

“Stinkfist” – Tool

Hmm.  I’m not sure what kind of purpose that would be, but it doesn’t sound particularly promising.  It is a kick-ass song, though.

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?

“Genie in a Bottle” – Christina Aguilera

Now I’m just embarrassed that this is actually on my iPod.

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?

“Pale September” – Fiona Apple

I’m trying to think of a context in which this would make sense.  Not coming up with much.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?

“The Hollow” – A Perfect Circle

That sounds…ominous, doesn’t it?  Like my mind is this deep, dark place.  Not really.  I actually spend a fair amount of time thinking about cute baby animals.

WHAT IS 2+2?

“Mack the Knife” – Bobby Darin

There are very few songs that would make sense in answer to this question, I think.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?

“Intermission” – Tool

That’s terrible!  Like my best friend is just a temporary thing until I move on to something better!  Sad.  My iPod thinks I’m a horrible person.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?

“Crazy in Love” – Beyonce

Hey!  What do you know.  Finally, something that makes perfect sense.  Hi, husband!  Love you!

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?

“Ring of Fire” – Johnny Cash

Good goo!  Again with the depressing answers!  Maybe my iPod knows something I don’t.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?

“Zombie” – The Cranberries

Ha ha ha haaaaa, ha.  HA.  Don’t we all.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?

“Wannabe” – Spice Girls

I don’t know what that means, but it makes me think of high school.

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?

“I Think We’re Alone Now” – Tiffany

That’s…just disturbing and creepy.

WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?

“Stay” – Dave Matthews Band

Oh, this ship has long since sailed.  But it is entirely likely that I did dance to this at my wedding.  I’m a huge DMB fan.

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?

“Sleep to Dream” – Fiona Apple

I think that is the ultimate dreamless sleep, actually.

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?

“Fyresvatn” – Asle Bjorn

I’m not even sure what that word means.  Do with this what you will.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?

“How to Save a Life” – The Fray

I do not actually have the cure for cancer or the fountain of youth.  Sad but true.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?

“Santeria” – Sublime

So, I had to look up Santeria just to see what we’re talking about here.  And I’m pretty sure it does not apply to any of my friends.  But I could be wrong.

WHAT’S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN?

“With You” – Jessica Simpson

Many of these answers are making me sound like a terrible person.  Also, a lot of the same songs as last time are coming up.  This makes me highly suspicious of the “shuffle” function.

HOW WILL YOU DIE?

“Jessie’s Girl” – Rick Springfield

Now I just have to figure out who Jessie is and why his girlfriend is trying to kill me.

WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU REGRET?

“Orion” – Metallica

Maybe there’s some deep philosophical interpretation here, but hell if I know what it is.

WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?

“Come Away With Me” – Norah Jones

Hmm.  Seems mean to laugh at someone who is inviting you somewhere.

WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?

“Sullen Girl” – Fiona Apple

Yes, indeedy, sometimes I cry when I am feeling sullen.  Probably more often than not, in fact.

WILL YOU EVER GET MARRIED?

“Boss of Me” – They Might Be Giants

The actual boss in this situation might be in dispute here.

WHAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?

“Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” – Green Day

Yeah, getting dumped is a fear.  Not like an ever-present one or anything, but I think everyone in a relationship fears that to some degree.

DOES ANYONE LIKE YOU?

“Come On Get Higher” – Matt Nathanson

I like this song a lot, but I don’t think it applies in this case.

IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?

“Bye Bye” – Jo Dee Messina

Whoa whoa whoa.  WTF is this song doing on my iPod?

WHAT HURTS RIGHT NOW?

“Dust In the Wind” – Kansas

This song always bums me out.

WHAT WILL YOU POST THIS AS?

“So Much to Say” – Dave Matthews Band

Oh, hello, sweet irony.  Nice of you to pay me a visit.
