The soundtrack of your life meme


Here's a cute little exercise I ran across at random. The instructions:

"Here is the deal.

Set your iTunes etc. to "Party Shuffle," "Random" or whatever the appropriate setting is, refresh it then fill in the form below.

No cheating, just do it, yes that includes you . . . none of this 'I ain't doin' it' bullshit.

You may be surprised how scarily accurate this can be."

Here is mine.

(Copy and paste then delete my answers and fill in yours).

Comments:

  • Your friends' Leonard Cohen albums are not Mount Everest—there is no need to upload them just because they are there.

  • Leonard Cohen may only have one good song. Remarkably, it made my soundtrack . . . .

  • But I don't get shot to death in a snowstorm on my first day of school.

  • I need to listen to more of the music on my iPod . . . .

  • Or perhaps not.

  • Keep in mind that I have more than 6000 songs on there. I'm not sitting around all day listening to Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley.

  • If I had fallen in love in E.O. Wilson's evolutionary biology course freshman year, this would really be something.

  • I love that despite the overwrought interludes, my "life" theme is still "Groovin'".

  • We will be having extra folding chairs at the wedding for all the brokenhearted women. Yep.
