This one's for you, Noz

So a week or so back, my friend Noz lamented the death of the "Random Playlist" post, where people would post the last 10 songs that played on their iPod. Mah gurl On The Curb seems to have one-upped that phenomenon with this meme. So, to give Noz some hope, here's my version.

**Note: this is a Facebook thing, apparently. Since I cherish my relative anonymity, I'm not on Facebook and have no plans to be on it in the future. Like most Facebook things, this was probably written by a teenager...

Guidelines:

1. Put your iTunes or Windows Media Player on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your next answer.
3. You must write that song name down no matter how outrageous it sounds!
4. Tag friends who might enjoy doing the game as well as the person you got the note from.

IF SOMEONE SAYS, “IS THIS OKAY” YOU SAY?
“Short Trip Home” - Meyer. (No, because only a trip home would make it ok)

WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?
"Life's Incredible Again" - Michael Giacchino (How uncanny! It's from the Incredibles Soundtrack. You know, the Disney movie?)

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
"You & Me & The Bottle Makes 3 Tonight" - Big Bad Voodoo Daddies (apparently I like a really strong liver and obnoxious behavior!)

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE?
"The Four Seasons: Spring, Danza Pastorale" - Vivaldi (Um, my life's purpose is to dance in the fields in spring. Yeah. Sure. Whatever.)

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
"Who Will You Run To?" - Heart (Because I'm there for everybody, even when they're not for me. That's some true shit right there.)

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
"Una Voce Poco Fa" - Rossini (The Barber of Seville) ("One Voice Does Little" - so I guess my friends think that I need to shut the hell up about my unpopular opinions. Or something? A general STFU?)

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OFTEN?
"Zombie" - The Cranberries (Yes, the fear of zombies keeps me up at night, listening for shuffling and moaning. Oh yeah, and waiting for that new Zombie Jane Austen book...)

WHAT IS 2+2?
“Eleanor Rigby” - John Bayless (because I'm random like that. Albatross!)

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
“This Love” - Maroon 5 (Freaky!)

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
“If I Never See Your Face Again” - Maroon 5 (sorry, honey...)

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
“Concerto #2 in C minor - 2. Adagio Sostenuto” - Rachmaninov (perf. by Vladimir Ashkenazy) (I'd say that my life story would be the whole concerto, as it's full of fire and pathos. It's gorgeous, full, open, lush, and great music to have sex to. Hmmmmm.)

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
“Donde Lieta Usci” - Puccini, La Boheme (I want to be a tubercular seamstress who selflessly abandons her lover for his own good so he won't have to see her die. I fucking hate sewing.)

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
“The Four Seasons - Summer, Allegro Non Molto” - Vivaldi (Fuck! What is with the classical music shuffling today! Y'all are going to think I'm some Merlot-swilling, Opera-loving, bleeding-heart liberal or something... wait... shit. Ok, so when I see the person I like, I'm thinking "Fast, but not too fast." Ahem. ;-) )

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
“Nothing Lasts Forever” - Maroon 5 (It's also, apparently, Maroon 5 day on my iPod. That's kind of funny, actually.)

WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
“Jump, Jive, an' Wail” - Brian Setzer Orchestra (I would have danced to this, and happily, had it even been recorded at the time of my wedding.)

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
“Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring” - J.S. Bach (Shit. They did play this at my wedding.)

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
“Shiver” - Maroon 5 (I SWEAR, I have other music on my iPod. I swear. But I am currently spending a lot of time shivering.)

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
“Bring Me To Life” - Evanescence (Ah, my friends. They make me so happy!)

WHAT’S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN?
“Go Daddy-o” - Big Bad Voodoo Daddies (True. I don't want anything to happen to my Daddy-o.)

HOW WILL YOU DIE?
“A String of Pearls” - Glenn Miller Orchestra (Either I'm gonna be garrotted or it's wild sex gone wrong. I'm hoping it's the latter.)

WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU REGRET?
“C'est Trop Beau” - Tino Rossi ("It's too beautiful." There are some things I've done that have made all others pale by comparison. I've been spoiled by having some really wonderful experiences. I'm jaded. True story.)

WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
“Bridge Over Troubled Waters” - Simon & Garfunkle (Oh Christ. This should be the answer to the next question, really. This was one of my grandmother's favorite songs - it reads like the story of her life. My father sang it at her funeral, even though he'd divorced her daughter over 25 years prior. I still can't sit through it without weeping.)

WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?
“Good Enough” - Evanescence (It's definitely a poignant song. I love the last line "So take care what you ask of me, 'cause I can't say no.")

WILL YOU EVER GET MARRIED?
“Last Chance on the Stairway” - Duran Duran (Does that mean there's another chance for me, or that I already used the last chance I was going to get? I dunno...)

WHAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?
“Off to Work” - Michael Giacchino (Another one from the Incredibles Soundtrack, and really kind of funny in response to this question.)

DOES ANYONE LIKE YOU?
“In Between” - Duncan Sheik (That's kind of funny, really. In between what, exactly?)
