Once again, I’ve been IPODed

Not really, but I I played the IPod game when i first started this bog (a good 3+ years ago) and I like to redo it every now and then to see how my musical tastes have changed and generally have a good self-centred giggle at the deeper meanings I can find in just about anything.

I’m not having a fantastic day, for some reason loneliness really set in and I’m not feeling well and it’s raining and I just want a hot batch except that all I have here are showers and and and…

So it felt appropriate. You know the rules (if you’ve been anywhere near email in the last half-decade). IPod on shuffle and write down the name of each song next to each question. no cheating and skipping!

• IF SOMEONE SAYS, “IS THIS OKAY” YOU SAY? Pressed in a Book (the Shins). I tend to say strange things, so I guess it’s not that out there! I like the line about the untied shoelaces of life…
• WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?
  Ziwere (Oliver Mtukudzi). I like this kind of jazzish African music, although of course the no skipping rule left me scrambling for a translation… to find that apparently there are no English words to describe it. so I guess I’m… indescribable? Untranslate-able?
• WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
  Til Kingdom Come (Coldplay). So, commitment? I love this song, it was one of the few I could stand listening to when my proposal was due so I played it abouot a million times!
• WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE?
  Playing in the distance (Grand National). Fair enough!
• WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
  Bed of Lies (Matchbox 20). I guess ‘I’m marking it down to learning’ is a pretty good one!
• WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
  Just like you (three days grace) I could be mean and angry?
• WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THEM?
  Do What You Say (Benjamin Gate). Nice :)
• WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
  I will possess your heart (Death cab for Cutie). I’m kind of glad that I don’t really believe in the ‘best’ friend concept!
• WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
  We are all made of stars (Moby) “Can’t fight the future, can’t fight what I see”
• WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY? Vicarious (Tool). I guess up until recently I was living for the people around me, rather than me. Although until recently Tool scared me as well!
• WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
  Gone Crazy (Marcy Playground)
• WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE? I really eyes (Cranberries). Was this thing written by a teenager? The quiz, not the song.
• WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
  Bad weekend (Art Brut). Ouch.
• WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
  If it makes you happy (Sheryl Crow). I refuse to be a girl and start planning a wedding without being engaged first. But I quite like this song!
• WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
  Prism of Life (Engma).
• WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
  The Phantom of the Opera (Nightwish). Clearly all those discussions on the paranormal in the lab are coming back to haunt me…
• WHAT’S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN?
  Blister in the sun (Violent Femmes). But i’ve already GOT blisters from the sun…
• HOW WILL YOU DIE?
  Burnout (Sipho ‘hotstix’ Mabuse). No comment.
• WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU REGRET?
  I will not take these things for granted (Toad the wet Sprocket).
• WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
  The fix is in (OK Go) It’s all about getting lost and staying that way.
• WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?
  Battery (Metallica)
• WILL YOU EVER GET MARRIED?
  Suddenly everything has changed (Postal Service).
• WHAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?
  Pain for Pleasure (SUM41) true…
• DOES ANYONE LIKE YOU?
  Sorrow (Gladiator soundtrack). Sad times.
• IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?
  Rainy Day (Fools Garden). Apparently my IPod has more faith in my abilities than I do!
• WHAT HURTS RIGHT NOW? Say Goodbye (Dave Matthews Band)
  

thanks for bearing with me! I refuse to tag people when we’ve all done this before, but if you feel like revisiting a classic (no pun intended) then feel free and please let me know if you do!
