sara's awesome game

sara, of midwestern position fame, has posted a fun ipod shuffle game that i couldn't resist playing and i have to share the results because they are just plain funny. sara was able to just list hers like a normal person. i may have to provide commentary. that's who i am.

to create the soundtrack of your life simply follow the directions you see below.

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, 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.

Ready? GO!

opening credits: Rockabye-- Ani DiFranco

waking up: Stan-- Eminem (does this mean i am going to wake up in a trunk? because i don't really want to.)

falling in love: Left of Center-- Suzanne Vega

fight scene: Ms Jackson-- Outkast (since i am not nor ever likely will be a baby's mama or a baby daddy, i don't think that i will ever have this particular fight. thank god!)

breaking up: I Love You-- Kina (particularly strange in my current situation...)

make up: Damn Your Eyes-- Etta James (wow)

life's okay: Bridge Over Troubled Water-- Eva Cassidy (apparently my life is only okay as long as there is someone telling me, in the most depressing manner possible, that they will take care of me when i "take a walk on the wild side")

mental breakdown: Walk on the Wild Side-- Lou Reed (the song kind of makes me feel like having a breakdown would be a lot of fun)

driving: Touch It Remix-- Busta Rhymes (for sure i would get a speeding ticket)

flashbacks: Fade Into You-- Mazzy Star

happy dance: Politics Polka-- Tina and the B-Side Movement (really funny if you've heard the song- it's very very bouncy. well, like a polka, i guess.)

regretting: Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home-- Etta James (you can't prove anything! i was not responsible! but hypothetically, if i was responsible, i suppose i would regret it.)

final battle: Get It Together-- India Arie (a little freaked out that this would be the theme of the final battle. kinda hope that happens sooner.)

death scene: Blue-- Jayhawks (is the fact that my last post is called "blue" some kind of freakish foreshadowing to this list? damn i hope not! i was just starting to really like/live my life!)

how fun is that!? i started laughing right out loud (naturally) when walk on the wild side started playing. and of course, i am in public. so as is standard for me, i found myself laughing explosively and uncontrollably while strangers pretend not to notice but shift uncomfortably in their chairs. i do this several times a week. i must not mind it.

ok. now everyone run off and play the game and tell me your results. i might even do it a couple more times. because i am self-absorbed.
