and I joined Facebook. Such a useless waste of time. Such an addictive useless waste of time. Which provides me with all sorts of other ways to waste more time, such as this fun meme... which I have copied from my facebook Notes...
And I'm doing this two ways - one I'll use my entire library (a), one I'll use my "general listenage" playlist, which I listen to way more often (b).
Life Soundtrack
IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie
Opening Credits:
a) Our Lady Peace - "Automatic Flowers" (ooo...kkkk....)
b) Our Lady Peace - "Are You Sad" (OLP it is, then...)
Waking Up:
a) The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo De Silos - "Descendit". ( must be a slow morning...)
b) Green Day - "She's A Rebel"
First day at High School:
a) Glenn Miller and His Orchestra - "Skylark" (How idealistic...)
b) The Verve - "Neon Wilderness" (I _wish_ high school had passed in a drugged out blur...)
Falling in Love:
a) JS Back - "Herr, gehe nicht ins Gericht mit Deinem Knecht" - BWV 105 (Ok, so maybe I'm living a period drama?)
b) The Killers - "Somebody Told Me" (Well, at least it's a little peppier...)
Fight Song:
a) Weezer - "Knock-Down-Drag-Out" (How apt...)
b) Edith Piaf - "J'm'en fou pas mal" (Excellent... just blow off the fight... it's the non-fight...)
Breaking Up:
a) Loreena McKennitt - "The Highwayman" (Well... it's about a guy getting shot for true love... oh, the irony...)
b) Radiohead - "I Can't" (I've got no snappy comments for this...)
Prom:
a) The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo De Silos - "Absolve" (Nice, I'm getting forgiven of all my sins... at prom?!!?)
b) Noellie McDonnell - "Stars" (much better than a bunch of chanting monks).
Life:
a) Jack Johnson - "We're Going To Be Friends" (Yes, I admit to owning the Curious George soundtrack. It was a gift.)
b) Bon Jovi - "You Give Love A Bad Name" (Ummm...)
Mental Breakdown:
a) Paul O'Dette - "Mellancoly Galliard" (by John Dowland) (Apparently I will break down slowly, quietly, and unheard/seen by most of the world...)
b) Radiohead - "Vegetable" (Yup, looks like I'll have a nice, quiet breakdown)
Driving:
a) Gary Jules - "Mad World" (Maybe I'm driving after the breakup? After the breakdown?)
b) The Verve - "Come On" (Not much better for driving, really...)
Flashback:
a) The New Pornographers - "The Body Says No" (?!)
b) Glenn Miller - "A Million Dreams Ago" (iTunes finally picks something a bit appropriate...)
Getting Back Together:
a) Queen - "Bohemian Rhapsody" (I shit you not...)
b) Michael Frant & Spearhead - "Yell Fire" (it was iTunes free track of the week at one point...)
Wedding:
a) The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos - "Prefacio de Difuntos" (I give up)
b) Neko Case - "Lion's Jaws" (it's got a good sound, but the lyrics... not so much wedding material...)
Birth of Child:
a) Franz Ferdinand - "You're The Reason I'm Leaving" (yet another reason not to have children)
b) Sigur Ros - "Saeglopur" (if I had any idea what they were really singing, I'd make some snappy comment about it)
Final Battle:
a) por nada - "Eastern Star" (yay, iTunes finally picked something that sort of works!)
b) The Muppets - "Mah-Na-Mah-Na" (geesh... what is it, a battle with styrofoam pool noodles?)
Death Scene:
a) Hefner - "The Hymn For The Alcohol" (Hm... maybe I'll die a sad, lonely, acoholic)
b) Jeff Buckley - "Corpus Christi Carol" (ooh, haunting...)
Funeral Song:
a) Skye - "Solitary" (reflection of the sad, lonely alcoholic death, I guess...)
b) Glenn Miller - "You and I" (I guess if I'm going, I'm taking someone with me...)
End Credits:
a) Jeff Buckley - "Lilac Wine" (kinda depressing, no one would stick around...)
b) Rammstein - "Seemann" (I've got nothing, really...)
And I'm doing this two ways - one I'll use my entire library (a), one I'll use my "general listenage" playlist, which I listen to way more often (b).

Oh my goodness, the Franz Ferdinand for the birth of child is horrifically fantastic.
Who needs the real world when you have internet communities? :)
