"Sail to the Moon. (Brush the Cobwebs out of the Sky.)"

Share a few words of wisdom:
"2+2=5. (The Lukewarm.)"


hi, I like to waste time.

Another fun music meme.

1. Find music source (non-radio)
2. Put on shuffle mode
3. Answer the following questions with the songs, in the right order
4. Be amazed, amused, or left asking yourself "What the fuck? This makes no sense."
5. Pass it on!


1. How am I feeling today?:  "Fatso Forgotso" - Kyuss.
While I am on a diet, so that might be slightly appropriate, that's so not what the song is about.  "It's over your head // it's over my head."  I like that.

2. Will I get far in life?: "Wrapped up in Books" - Belle & Sebastian.
Hmm, I guess I will continue to live life in my head and not in reality.  "We've got a fantasy affair // we didn't get wet, we didn't dare // but the fantasy remains // you better come back to love again // our aspirations are wrapped up in books // our inclinations are hidden in looks."

3. How do my friends see me?:  "Access Babylon" - Probot.
Yikes. "All access, yeah, but not quite // your cast goes left but not allowed right // force field limbo caught in mid strata // funds evaporate, so-called friends scatter."

4. What is my best friend's theme song?:  "I Think I Lost My Headache" - Queens of the Stone Age.
Mad love.  I wish this was my theme song.  "Tastes so good // oh, and I knew it would // taste so good // burn like match house // medicate just to make you soft // love is blind."

5. What is the story of my life?:  "Exactly Where I'm At" - Ween.
You know, I can see this.  "Let's begin with the past in front // and all the things that you really don't care about now // it'd be exactly where I'm at // ... // I'm all staged, it's all an act // I'm really scared that I may fall back on the abstract // it'd be exactly where I'm at."

6. What was high school like?:  "I Will Survive" - Gloria Gaynor.
I love it. Haha.  "You thought I'd crumble // thought I'd lay down and die // oh no, not I // I will survive."

7. How can I get ahead in life?: "For Me This is Heaven" - Jimmy Eat World.
"And this is what she says gets her through it: // 'If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?' // if not now, when?"

8. What is the best thing about me?: "I Can't Put My Finger on it" - Ween.
Bizarre.

9. What was today like?: "Conversing Among Misfits" - Earthlings?
Okaaaaaay, I guess.

10. What is in store for this weekend?: "The National Anthem" - Radiohead.
Cool.  This makes no sense.  "Everyone // everyone around here // everyone is so near // it's holding on // it's holding on."

11. What song describes my parents?: "Burn the Witch" - Queens of the Stone Age.
Haha, good stuff.

12. How is my life going?: "Bring it Back Gentle" - Desert Sessions.
So basically my life does not make sense at the moment.  Good.  At least it doesn't make sense in a good way.  "You fall, fell, a river // through right slipped your hand // true what believe I refuse // back you will I will // back you will I will // wait a find I will // bring it back gentle // bring it back gentle // bring it back gentle // bring it back gentle."

13. What song will they play at my funeral?: "Paranoid Android" - Radiohead.
Mad props to whomever decides to play this song at my funeral.  Seriously.

14. How does the world see me?: "Shortly Before the End" - OK Go.
"Who would have thought it'd come as such a show? // a pink and silver day - who was to know? // even as we go, sing us a song // sing us a song to hum through the hours of dying."

15. Will I have a happy life?: "Stay Forever" - Ween.
My media player is loving the Ween today.  This is a pretty happy song, so I'm content.  "So far away, but it's so easy to see you // when I'm away I want to put my arms around you // and I want to know, do you feel the same way? // 'cause if you do, I want to stay forever."

16. What do my friends really think of me?: "Nice 'N' Easy" - Frank Sinatra.
I'm not sure if this is a compliment or an insult.

17. Do people secretly lust after me?: "Monique the Freak" - Ween.
Haha. How about this part.  "Sexy baby, girl you drive me crazy // let me take you for a drive // I'd like to make you mine // girl you're so divine."

18. How can I make myself happy?: "Seventeen" - Jimmy Eat World.
Based on the title, by being seventeen again?  That would be cool.  But based on the lyrics, that's trickier.  "It's only in your dreams, but it felt like it was real."

19. What should I do with my life?: "More Than This" - The Cure.
Yeah, you may have a point.

20. Will I ever have children?: "What's Golden?" - Jurassic 5.
Haha, I don't know if this means I'll have children or not, but this is good stuff. "We're not ballin' or shot callin' // we'll take it back to the days of yes y'all-in' // we're holding on to what's golden // on a stage I rage and I'm rollin'."

21. What will I name them?: "Secret" - Maroon 5.
That's right, I'm not telling you.

22. Who will I marry?:  "A Big Hunk 'o' Love" - Elvis Presley.
Aw, cute.

23. Do I have a boyfriend/girlfriend?: "Come As You Are" - Nirvana.
I'm not sure if this answers the question, but I do swear that I don't have a gun.

24. How will I die? "Hear You Me" - Jimmy Eat World.
Oh, sad.  This actually is about someone dying.  "And if you were with me tonight, I'd sing to you just one more time // a song for a heart so big, god wouldn't let it live // ... // on sleepless roads, the sleepless go // may angels lead you in."
