iPod, therefore iAm (someone has surely made this bad joke before...)

I got this from will smama.

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.


How does the world see you?
"Lee Harvey Was a Friend of Mine" - Laura Cantrell (hmmmm)

Will I have a happy life?"
"Busload of Faith" - Lou Reed (isn't that a little indirect?)

What do my friends really think of me?
"Burn That Broken Bed" - Calexico/Iron & Wine (is this thing working?)

How can I make myself happy?
"Bowling Baby" - Carrie Newcomer (this is not true.)

What should I do with my life?
"Fields of Plenty" - Amy Grant (??)

Will I ever have children?
"Honest Mistake" - Ron Sexsmith (!!)

What is some good advice for me?
"Twist & Shout" - Salt & Pepa (that I can do)

How will I be remembered?
"Rag Mama Rag" - The Band (again, hmmmm)

What is my signature dancing song?
"Original Dub" - King Tubby & African Brothers (I don't believe I've ever even listened to this song before...)

What do I think my current theme song is?
"Oh Yes" - Whitney Houston (I am officially doubting whether I should really hit "publish")

What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
"Abraham, Martin & John" - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles (is this true, Everyone Else?)

What song will play at my funeral?
"In the Springtime of His Voodoo" - Tori Amos (this is payback for having cheated a little on this iPod meme)

What is my day going to be like?
"My Sisters, O My Sisters" - May Sarton (this is a poem. I like a day of poetry and sisterhood.)

and I'll add one more question:
Should I publish this meme?
"Let It Be So" - Victoria Williams (that settles it.)

  7. So awesome! I'm going to have to try this very soon and post it myself. Makes me want to go home and play MASH, too. Remember that game? Will my iPod tell me who I'm going to marry and how many kids I'll have??
