Amazing Grace (the iTunes meme)

Okay, I’ve seen this a few times – most recently courtesy of Libba Bray – and I finally decided I had to try it. Yup, it’s the “My Life In iTunes” meme! Yay! Here are the rules…

1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. You MUST write that song name down, no matter how silly it sounds.
4. Play tag, have fun, and all that jazz.

So here, for your reading pleasure, is my life in iTunes:

IF SOMEONE SAYS ‘ARE YOU OKAY’ YOU SAY?
Don’t Let Me Fall (Lenka) – Do I sound needy?

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?
Adrift (Jack Johnson) – Funny, I was thinking exactly that earlier today – anyone got a lifeline they can toss me?

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
Kissing the Lipless (The Shins) – Ew. Need I say more? (And yet I’m going to — this just brought to mind a story about Godric, by Frederick Beuchner – something about kissing a leper. It’s a very good story.)

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
We Can Work It Out (The Beatles) – Ah, optimism.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE?
Daylight (Matt & Kim) – staying in it? bringing a little of it to darkness? I dunno, but sounds like a decent life’s purpose.

WHAT’S YOUR MOTTO?
And it Stoned Me (Van Morrison) – After reading this explanation of the lyrics, I totally love this as a motto.

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
Hope (Jack Johnson) – What? You guys think there’s hope for me? Aw, you’re the sweetest….

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
Pataskala (John Reuben) – You mean like in Ohio? They want I should move to Ohio?

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
Somewhere Over The Rainbow (Israel Kamakawiwo’ole) – Okay, I’m a bit of a daydreamer. No surprise there.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
Long Nights (Eddie Veder) – talktalktalktalk… oh my gosh, is it 3 a.m.?!

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
Blue Eyes (Cary Brothers) – Hee! Mine are green, but my sweetie has blue eyes, and my kids all do.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
Forever Young (Bob Dylan) – I totally did not rig this, I swear.

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
Life is a Highway (Rascal Flatts) – Not a bad choice, really. Life is a journey. Everybody wear their running shoes or hiking boots, k?

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
I am a Rock (Simon & Garfunkle) – Okay, fine. I’m a little boring. I just sit there and don’t do much at all.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
These are the Days (Van Morrison) – Actually, if this is it, I’m okay with that.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
The Show (Lenka) – Mwahaha! You shall never know about the show!

WHAT DO YOU WANT RIGHT NOW?
The Hallelujah Chorus (Relient K) – It’s always nice to have a reason to sing hallelujah.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
Island in the Sun (Weezer) – You guys are totally my island in the sun. I <3 my friends.

WHAT WILL YOU POST THIS AS?
Amazing Grace (Ray Charles) – nice.
