A couple of memes that have popped up all over my f-list
Your rainbow is strongly shaded gray.
What is says about you: You are an elegant person. You appreciate tradition and wisdom that comes with age. You depend on modern technology and may feel uncomfortable without it.

3. Don't cheat, it makes everything more fun!
[1] What is your life going to be like in 5 years?
As the End Draws Near - Sarah McLachlan
Wow that sounds bleak. I’ll be dying? Or the world will be dying? Or I'll be really really depressed, if you go for a more metaphoric interpretation?
[2] How is your love life going for you right now?
What’s Love Got To Do With It - Tina Turner
Seems like I’m only in it for the sex.
[3] What pisses you off the most about the opposite sex?
You’re Beautiful - James Blunt
They can be obsessive creepy stalkers.
[4] What do your parents really think of you?
These Days - Bon Jovi
That I have a dejected outlook on life and I don’t know who I am or what I’m supposed to be.
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
Guess she’s trying to be james dean
She’s seen all the disciples and all the wanna bes
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there’s nothing to hold on to but these days
[5] What do you think about the world and its current state?
Parasite - Disturbed
We’re destroying the world?
[6] What is the worst thing that's ever happened to you?
Everybody Knows - Leonard Cohen
I did something I shouldn’t have and everybody found out about it? Or is this another commentary on the general suckiness of the world.
[7] What will your first/next time having sex be like?
Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft - Klaatu
With aliens? Only in my mind?
[8] What is your main goal in life?
The Stranger Song - Leonard Cohen
To play poker apparently. Or to wander around trying to achieve impossible goals and fail every time.
[9] What do the boys/girls at your school think of your looks?
Rain - Sarah Brightman
I look wet?
[10] What do you really want in life?
Human - Pretenders
To be human.
I crash and I burn, maybe some day you’ll learn
I stumble and fall, baby, I do it all
I’m only human on the inside
[11] How are you going to get far in life?
A Long Way Down - Matthew Good
By getting out of here and by seeing the bullshit for what it is. But then am I going far or down?
[12] What do say when you're in a bad mood?
Maybe Tomorrow is a Better Day - Poets of the Fall
Yeah, this is what I should say.
This day will die tonight and there ain't no exception
Why should I wait for nothing to wait for
I won't cry for my solitude, lay my head and dream of you
And hope that you'll come knocking on my door
And maybe tomorrow is a better day
[13] What about when you are really happy?
The Boxer - Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel
Umm…. “Li la li” perhaps? Nah, I got nothing. This is a pretty song but it’s not exactly happy.
[14] What do think of yourself in general?
Believe - Dima Bilan
Eh, yeah, that’s another should...
[15] What is your life's theme song?
Dance With You - Live
Ok, this meme officially sucks right now. Dancing and beaches and wine… At some point this song came to represent all those nice things that I can’t do because of my migraines. It’s a very pretty song, though.
[16] What are you going to do this weekend?
Los Angeles is Burning - Bad Religion
Burn down Los Angeles! Cool, I get to travel.
[17] How can you try and make yourself happy?
First We Take Manhattan - Leonard Cohen
Well, that’s simple enough. I just have to take Manhattan. And maybe Berlin too. Wonder if I should burn down them too, or if I’ll be happy with just their unconditional surrender. Best to pack a lighter just in case.
[18] What song will they play at your wedding?
Read My Mind - The Killers
Yup, perfect wedding song:
Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
[19] Funeral song?
Possession - Sarah McLachlan
Hmm, I find this oddly suitable. At least parts of it.
Listen as the wind blows
From across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning
Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion
And solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here
And not be satisfied
[20] What or who makes you the most happy?
Bought and Sold - Dar Williams
Shopping! Or social criticism if I go with the message of the song and not just the title.
[21] What am I even doing on this earth?
Age of Aquarius - Hair soundtrack
I’m here to be a hippie. Obviously.
[22] How am I going to die?
Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye - Leonard Cohen
Ok, so I still don’t know how I’m going to die, but now at least I know I need to say goodbye properly.
[23] What is some good advice?
Release - The Tea Party
Don’t try to hold on when it’s time to let go, I guess.
[24] What's some advice you'd never take?
Don’t Stop Me Now - Queen
Well, this make me seem horribly boring.
[25] Will you ever have children?
Pain Redefined - Disturbed
If I do it’ll be very painful.
[26] What is/was high school like for you or
Fuck You - Ani DeFranco
Hahaha, yup, that about sums it up.

Nostalgic maybe? Or in need of a raincoat?
[28] What's your general outlook on life?
Let the River Run - Carly Simon
Let the river run
let all the dreamers
wake the nation
[29] What are your last words going to be?
Aftermath - The Tea Party
Ok, so I’ll have lots of time to realise I’m dying and to regret all the things I didn’t have a chance to do while insisting that I am all right.
Time slips away too soon
Waste what we want
We beg and we're bought
And nothings wrong with us
[30] What song is going to be stuck in your head all day?
American Pie - Don Mclean
So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."
