MP3 Fortune Telling?

oh alright...this was pretty interesting so I stole it from jarek_crowe

Music Title Prophecies: Go to your whatever you use to listen to mp3s and shuffle songs (I'm using Penelope, my PSP). Say the following questions as you're about to start, and after each one, skip to the next song. Use the song title as the answer to the question.



1. What do you think of me, Penelope?
"Landslide" - cover by the Dixie Chicks

So maybe, this is about me only now discovering adult love, and learning to grow with it. I think I'm learning new things about who I am everyday, and I think I've been afraid to change. But now that I'm in this place in my life, I think it might be okay to put away childish things and jump into the future. Is that it? I guess we can't stay the same forever.

2. Will I have a happy life?
"Click-Clash" - Jem and the Holograms vs. the Misfits

Wow, now this is exciting. I know this is just a stupid meme thingy, but my heart really jumped when this was the next song. I listened to this song as a child when I dreamed of making it big in Hollywood and so, I dunno...maybe this means I will find my success after all. The Holograms' side of the song is my dreams for the future, and the Misfits are my relentless nature and unstoppable-drive.

3. What do my friends really think of me?
"Heartache" - A Girl Called Eddy

Maybe they think I've suffered a lot, emotionally? I've never really had what I could call a smooth or ideal relationship with a guy. I sure have cried and been depressed a lot in the past, and shown it to my friends. Maybe they also think I hold onto those wounds and injuries a little too strongly.

4. Do people secretly lust after me?
"Sweetness" - Fischerspooner

LOL. OMFG. That's sooo funny because when I think of sex-music, (that I've actually used), Fischerspooner is at the top of my list. Wow. I guess some people really want to come inside me and see what I have to offer...? hehe. This song just screams fantastic one-night-stand. I do have a world you've never seen just waiting to burst forth like a nest of hornets and swim around inside you. And our lust will cresendo and pop at the top of the song as we float back down. Kinda like this song. Good jorb Penelope!

5. What does [insert significant other here] think of me?
"Seduceme" - La India

Hmm...this is kind of sad actually. Well it's in spanish, but the lyrics are basically:

I know that tomorrow, you'll be gone
And even though it will hurt me, you're leaving
Near or far, you'll be missed
Love comes and goes, let's forget about moments...
Seduce me.

I don't really think this is that far off from the truth, which is the troubling thing...we're still mostly physical right now. But hey...there's that promise for the future we kind of have. So, maybe this is just for now. Actually, I think I'm overanalyzing. We're good, no, GREAT! right now. I think this is literally about me leaving SJ at the end of the weekend...we did have a fantastic "goodbye" session. haha.

--------------------
Ok, continuing on.....

6. How can I make myself happy?
"Neither Heaven Nor Space" - Nada Surf

Okay, things getting totally weird now. These guys are my like...dramatic-times-in-life-band, and so I take their lyrics in, in a very special way. This particular song, to this question, I guess means I need to just surround myself with the right people and things. Like separating myself from negativity. Otherwise, I suppsoe it's saying I can't be happy until I stop putting myself last.

7. What should I do with my life?
"I Am An Imaginary Living Body" - J.A. Seazer (this is Mikage's duel/exit song from Shoujo Kakumei Utena)

Okay now I'm officially creepd out. What makes this kind of disturbing is if I go simply by who Mikage was and his story resolution. I could go deeper into that, but if you really want to know just ask me. However, the song being in strange cryptic-poetic Japanese that's too advanced for me, I had to look up the translation:

Incandescent darkness and birthed puppets
Are named, anthropoperipherism

Pulling the strings of the world is a single existence
For the others, an imaginary puppet-craft

Subzero darkness and birthed creatures
Correlated, anthropoperipherism

On the natural stage are the units of existence
Comprised of an imaginary creature-craft

Words are born, the encounter, then a hesitation
Knowledge is born, the encounter, then a void
O where am I, when am I

Spell, incantation, mystery, prayer, myself
Stage destiny magic mirror

Full moon, mysterious and transmutable, I'm an imaginary living
body come to its end
Full moon, mysterious and transmutable, I'm an imaginary
destined body come to its end
Seeking time, without rest
Living on, a speleomorph

Seeking land, armless, legless
Still existing I am, transparent, intangible, a faint sigh...

*spoilers for Utena, technically*

Hmmm....well, unless I later on discover this shocking truth that I'm not real or a ghost or something like that, then perhaps in the future I become a scary string-pulling CEO or something? Hmm...how about we just skip this one?

8. Why must life be so full of pain?
"Borrowed Angels" Kristen Chenoweth

LOL. Okay, I'm sorry..this is only funny if you watch One Life to Live with me. but anyway, I guess this song as the result would mean, life is full of pain because if we never experienced loss and grief and suffering, then happiness and joy and peace would not mean anything to us.

9. How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
"Different" (from H.R. Puff'n'Stuff the Movie) - Mama Cass Elliot

It's not so bad to be different,
and do your own thing, and do it with heart...
Different is hard, different is lonely
Different is trouble for you only.
Different is heartache, different is pain,
but i'd rather be different than be the same.

OK THEN! I guess it doesn't get any clearer than that. I should throw the Kama Sutra out the window and improvise. Of course....that's what I do anyway..... :D

10. Will I ever have children?
"Eyes On Me" (Final Fantasy VIII) - Faye Wong

-sigh-.....-long suffering sigh-. I think maybe this means I might miss out on my chance for a real, lasting, love. I do think I'm the kind of person who experiences things sporadically throughout life, and not all in one long term of time. So maybe, I won't have kids because I let "the one" go? Or maybe this also means, I won't have kids until late in life or something? Sad.

11. Will I die happy?
"i fell in love with a dead boy" - antony and the johnsons

I always did want to die in the arms of someone who loved me. So this is happy in that sense. Mostly not, but then...that's pretty fitting of me.

12. Can you give me some good advice?
"Viveme" Laura Pausini (tv theme for La Madrastra)

OMG, this is so funny. I mean...only I would get a fucking spanish telenovela theme song as the result to one of my songs....(actually, no I wouldn't be the ONLY one...but you know what I meant). This song is beautiful, absolutely beautiful, and I can only imagine it means I need to hold onto Jack, but that he needs to love me back the same. Viveme is roughly, "live me" which is a really strong, beautiful idea to me. You want your lover to live you. ^_^ yea. that's special. Here are the lyrics in english:

I don't anything else now, now that...
Your immense love illuminated me, inside and out
Believe me this time, Believe me because...
Believe and you'll see, it won't ever end.

I have a dream written in the skies, that flies now
My thoughts don't depend on my body.
Believe me this time, Believe me becasue...
It would hurt me, and now I know.

There is great space between us,
an open sky that no longer closes to the two of us
Well, we know what is necessity now

Live me without fear now, whether it be one life or one hour
Don't leave me abandoned here, in this naked space of mine that's yours now..I Beg you
Live me without shame, even if the whole world is against it.
Leave behind the appearances and take hold the emotion,
Feel what I hold inside.

And you transform inside a portrait, inside of me,
That covers my white and tired walls.
Believe me this time, Believe me because...
It would hurt me, once and once again.

If, in my reality, today I have something more
that I never had before, you need to live me a bit more...

Live me without fear now, whether it be one life or one hour
Don't leave me abandoned here, in this naked space of mine that's yours now..I Beg you
Live me without shame, even if the whole world is against it.
Leave behind the appearances and take hold the emotion,
Feel what I hold inside.

You've opened in me, the fantasy, my faith for an limitless day...
It's your guide, my life.
You help me focus, you guide me, you give ideas...

Live me without fear now, even if the whole world is against it.
Leave behind the appearances and take hold the emotion, and Feel what I hold inside.

13. Do you know where your children are?
"Kafka Transforms" - Brendon Smalls,as Dwayne of Scab (Home Movies)

Hmm...they're off turning into bugs?

14. What do you think happiness is? (my actual first result were songs already used, so I had to keep pressing next...until i got this): "Goonies 'r' Good Enough" -Cyndi Lauper, from the Goonies.

Moreso than going by just the song, I'm going by the song's lyrics and what the song makes me think of (which is the movie). Happiness is living freely and truly and honestly with someone who accepts you for who you are. But who else is that, than your best friends?? Happiness in life is having near-death experiences, adventures, romance, and comic-mishaps with the people you want to know well into your old age. Friends are the meaning of life!
