Will I get far in life?
Taking Chances - Lea Michele
“What do you say to taking chances? What do you say to jumping off the edge, never knowing if there’s solid ground below, or hand to hold, or hell to pay? What do you say?”
Well, this doesn’t say if I’ll get far or not, but maybe it’s a sign that I need to take more chances in order to get me there.
How do my friends see me?
Loving You is Easy - Sarah McLachlan
”Loving you is easy, loving you is wondrous and pure, I shout it from the rooftops, how long must I wait til I see your smile?”
I would love if this was how my friends saw me!
When will I get married?
My Heart - The Perishers
”It’s my heart you’re stealin’, it’s my heart you take, it’s my heart you’re dealing with, and it’s my heart you break.”
Well, shit. With lyrics like that, I hope the answer to that question is “NEVER”
What's my theme song?
Dangerous and Sweet - Lenka
“It’s difficult to see from the surface, but everything goes in and it stings like a spider, hits you deep inside, I know that you’re just like me: oversensitive, we’re an ordinary breed, taking everything for much more than it means, well it’s dangerous and it’s sweet, cut us and we bleed.”
Yea…that’s pretty damn fitting actually.
What is the story of my life?
The Winner Takes it All - Abba
“I’ve played all my cards and that’s what you’ve done too, nothing more to say, no more ace to play, the winner takes it all, the loser standing small beside the victory, that’s her destiny.”
Awe…yea, this is appropriate too. *sniffles*
What am I like in bed?
Like The Way I Do - Melissa Etheridge
“Baby tell me does she love you like the way I love you? Does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you? Tell me does she miss you, existing just to kiss you like the way I do? Tell me does she want you, infatuate and haunt you? Does she know just how to shock you, electrify and rock you? Does she inject you, seduce you and affect you like the way I do?”
Well, clearly I’m awesome in bed, and way better than whoever “she” is!
How can I get ahead in life?
Baby I’m Yours - Barbara Lewis
“Baby I’m yours and I’ll be yours until the sun no longer shines, yours until the poets run out of rhyme, in other words, until the end of time, I’m gonna stay right here by your side, do my best to keep you satisfied, nothing in the world can drag me away…”
Um, nope. Not the way to get ahead in life. You can’t cling to a partner and expect that he or she will hand you a future on a silver platter. Fail, iTunes!
What is my best feature?
Exquisite Corpse - Hedwig and the Angry Inch
“I’ve got it all sewn up, a hardened razor-cut scar-map across my body, and you can trace the lines through misery’s design that map across my body.”
Yikes. Uh. No comment.
How is today going to be?
Don’t Think Twice It’s All Right - Indigo Girls & Joan Baez
“Well it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why babe if you don’t know by now, it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why babe, it don’t matter anyhow, when the rooster crows at the break of dawn, look out your window and I’ll be gone, you’re the reason I’m travelin’ on, and don’t think twice it’s all right.”
Uh. So not a very good day then, huh?
What is in store for this weekend?
The Mating Game - Bitter:Sweet
“Step right up, you’re the next contestant in this sweet charade, take a number wait while I twist your fate on the mating game.”
Does this mean I’m going to be playing games with people, or having sex? If it’s playing games, I’m skipping the weekend. If it’s sex, well, sign me up.
What is my life like at the moment?
To Love Again - Lara Fabian
“Every night, every day, I tell my heart to forget you and to move away, not to break anymore, but oh no matter what I say, you’re so deep in my mind, there’s no way to leave this love behind, it used to be I believed I could go on and find someone to rest upon, soon I found there was no other, there you are framed against the sky, you are my life and I pray for when you will be mine to love again.”
Too damn true.
What song describes my secrets?
Breakin’ at the Cracks - Colbie Caillat
“I’m breakin’ at the cracks, and everything goes black, it’s another heart attack, and I can’t handle that.”
Even though this song is about a breakup, the chorus is actually really fitting. It’s really, really hard to function under the weight of so many secrets.
What is my current lover like?
From Where I’m Standing - Schuyler Fisk
“I guess it’s not the way you always planned it, looks like you’re heading for a crash landing, that’s just the way it looks from where I’m standing.”
Yikes. Spooky, iTunes. *hides*
What song will they play at my funeral?
Live Like You’re Dying - Lenka
“Take every moment, you know that you own them, it’s all you can do, use what’s been given to you, live like you’re dying, and never stop trying, it’s all up to you, use what’s been given to you.”
Wow…sad. Nice pick, iTunes. That’d be a good lesson (that maybe I’ll learn someday) for my peeps who are still alive while I’m chillin’ in an urn.
How does the world see me?
Soldier - Ingrid Michaelson
“And so it goes this soldier knows a battle with the heart isn’t easily won…but it can be won.”
I *think* people see me as strong…as someone who can endure difficult times and make it out in the end. That’d be nice.
Will I have a happy life?
Like a Virgin - Madonna
“I was beat, incomplete, I’d been had, I was sad and blue but you made me feel, yea you made me feel shiny and new…like a virgin, touched for the very first time, like a virgin, when your heart beats next to mine…”
Lmao…I’d say I’d have a happy life if I felt like this all the time. Way to go, iTunes.
What do my friends really think of me?
Rehab - Amy Winehouse
“They tried to make me go to rehab but I said no no no, yes I been black but when I come back you’ll know…”
Um…something you guys wanna tell me? I know I have a cupcake thing but I can totally stop any time I want…I just don’t WANT to…
Do people secretly lust after me?
Paparazzi - Lady Gaga
“I’m your biggest fan, I’ll follow you until you love me, papa-paparazzi….”
Does this mean people *obsessively* lust after me? Sweet!
Will I accomplish my goals in life?
Dream On - Matthew Morrison & Neil Patrick Harris
“Every time that I look in the mirror, all these on my face getting clearer, the past is gone, it went by like dust to dawn…”
Um. I’m gonna take that as a no. Thanks, iTunes. Jerk.
Will I find true love?
Wicked Little Town - Hedwig and the Angry Inch
“And if you’ve got no other choice, you know you can follow my voice through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town.”
*sigh* You tell me.
How do I treat others?
Poker Face - Lady Gaga
“Russian roulette is not the same without a gun and baby when it’s love if it’s not rough it isn’t fun.”
I hope I treat people better than THAT.
