The shuffle continues…
Well, Cangrejero threw down another gauntlet… so here it is. Thanks for giving me a reason to take a break! Come on guys, you know this works. Get hoppin’!
Shuffle game rules:
1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward for each question.
3. Use the song title as the answer to each question.
4. Cheating optional
1.) Describe your first date.
Shuffle Says: "Girl About Town" by Helen Love
er,
um, wow. Ok. Actually, I went to the ice house with Chad, who brought
his best friend along, and ignored me the whole time, and was flat out
mean to me the second his mom dropped us off. But even then at the
tender age of 12, I was already a fallen rock star sleeping under bars.
Rock on.
2.) What is your personal religion?
Shuffle Says: "Now That I Know" by Devendra Banhart
You’re a genius, shuffle, a genius.
3.) What do you think of your current hometown?
Shuffle Says: "Paint’s Peeling" by Rilo kiley
Yes, it is feeling a little dilapidated… perhaps time to shift along a little bit.
4.) What do you feel guilty about?
Shuffle Says: "We Both Go Down Together" by The Decemberists
Lots of ways to take that one, take it as you will. Also, "Everything" would have been an approriate answer.
5.) What embarrasses you?
Shuffle Says: "Bad Things to Such Good People" by Pedro the Lion
Yes, I feel embarrassed for the universe, because that too is my fault.
I’m
also a black sheep in the fam, being an athiest single mom and all, so
this definitely works. could not fly straight to save my life…
6.) What kind of restaurant would you open?
Shuffle Says: "I Can’t Move" by Everlast
Absolutely.
I would build the slowest drive-through in the history of man, complete
with guard rails to keep you from escaping. Teach the lazy bastards to
walk inside. Wait, I’m one of those lazy bastards.
7.) How do you feel about fall?
Shuffle Says: "Work Hard/Play Hard" by Palace
Highly
appropriate for my last semseter. I love autumn– pretty leaves, strong
breezes… wait, it’s 85 degrees outside. Nevermind.
8.) What’s your greatest fear?
Shuffle Says: "The Bones of an Idol" by The New Pornograhers
nice.
9.) What’s your biggest weakness?
Shuffle Says: "As You Are Right" by Geoff Farina
Yes, it’s whatever you say it is. Feel free to vote for vices in the comments. Also, cowardice.
10.) What was the last lie you told?
Shuffle Says: "Our Lady of Solitude" by Leonard Cohen
I
have zero ideas about this one.Actually, I believe the last lie I told
was "No, I’m not mad." Or maybe it was telling Joss he could have a
pony. I can’t remember.
11.) What’s the biggest thing you learned in school?
Shuffle Says: "Hail to Whatever You Found in the Sunlight that Surrounds You" by Rilo Kiley
I
would take this to mean a delicate blend of physics and
transcendentalism. I would have said something about hoaxy religions or
the power of metaphor, but whatever, what do I know.
12.) What did you dream your life would be like as a child?
Shuffle Says: "No Joy in Mudville" by Death Cab for Cutie
lol.
Well, I think my dreams evolved from housewife, to fashion designer, to
theoretical physicist, to photojournalist for national geographic, to
novelist. But never did any of these plans involve staying in NC. So
yeah, this works.
13.) What was your first serious girlfriend/boyfriend like?
Shuffle Says: "Hope" by Dirty Three
You
know, I always think fondly of my first boyfriend. He was a friend of
my brothers, and he was the first person to ever treat me like I was
smart. He inspired me to think about more complicated issues and he
always treated me well. But looking back, he was 19 and I was 13, and
really, that’s a little bit creepy. But given that this song is
instrumental, secretly, shuffle is just keeping it’s mouth shut.
14.) What were you doing 10 years ago?
Shuffle Says: "Poppies" by Marcy Playground
Wow.
more like 11 years ago, but damn, that hits the mark.10 years ago I was
in a sleep deprived haze with a newborn. where has the time gone?
15.) What will you be doing in 10 years?
Shuffle Says: "No More Colleges" by Nathan Asher and the Infantry
Knock on wood. No, really. Do it.
16.) What does a cry for help from you sound like?
Shuffle Says: "Hell No, I Ain’t Happy" by Drive-by Truckers
Well, I try to be a simple kind of girl.
17.) What do you buy at Wal-Mart?
Shuffle Says: "Side by Side" by Grant Lee Buffalo
What
is that, a lunchable? A jumper for Siamese twins? PBJ? Then again, the
songs about haves and have-nots, so, it works in an abstract way.
18.) Describe your personal political philosophy
Shuffle Says: "Left Me for Dead" by Rob Dougan
perhaps "lefty or die"?
19.) Do You like to travel?
Shuffle Says: "Bird Stealing Bread" by Iron & Wine
"I’ve not seen you lately
on the street by the beach
or places we used to go"
yeah, I love to travel.
20.) How do you feel about your coworkers?
Shuffle Says: "Unwell" by Matchbox 20
I’m
not sure which is funnier, that they think I’m crazy, or that I think
they’re crazy? Either way, it’s awesome because the closest thing I
have to a job is working in a psych lab.
Post away, kiddies. I want to see your lists!
