we follow them like fools.
I'm bored, so I found a couple of music memes. Plus I should probably make the occasional non-BSG post.

I'm sure everyone knows this one, so I'm not going to bore you with the rules.

1. How does the world see me?

Stolen, by Dashboard Confessional.

We watch the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away
You have stolen my heart.

I guess that's good?

2. Will I have a happy life?

I'm Gonna Getcha Good, by Shania Twain.

Don't wantcha for the weekend, don't wantcha for a night
I'm only interested if I can have you for life, yeah
Uh, I know I sound serious and baby I am
You're a fine piece of real estate, and I'm gonna get me some land.

I'm not sure what that means, either. But I don't think it means "happy life." But if I get to live in a cool, futuristic society with an awesome motorcycle, maybe it does!

3. What do my friends really think of me?

You're Not Sorry, by Taylor Swift.

You don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did before
You're not sorry.

Well, that's just great. My friends apparently think I suck or something. ...I don't think I'm witty enough to do this meme.

4. Do people secretly lust after me?

La Tortura (Shaketon Remix), by Shakira, featuring Alejandro Sanz.

No pido que todos los días sean de sol
No pido que todos los viernes sean de fiesta
Tampoco te pido que vuelvas rogando perdón
Si lloras con los ojos secos
Y hablando de ella.

Well, since this is a song about the "torture" of losing a romance or something, I guess it fits. But I don't think that really counts as "secretly lusting" so probably not.

5. How can I make myself happy?

Have You Ever Seen the Rain?, by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Yesterday, and days before,
sun is cold and rain is hard.
I know, been that way for all my time.
'Til forever on it goes
through the circle fast and slow,
I know, and it can't stop, I wonder.

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin’ down on a sunny day?

This one just doesn't make sense. Or my iTunes has some sort of rain fetish and thinks it would make me happy.

6. What should I do with my life?

Tinderbox, by Elton John.

Well he got us spooked anyway
We'd been running hot up until today
But a wind of change blew across our sales
We were coasting on a winning streak
We were kings until the power failed

We've been living in a tinderbox
And two sparks can set the whole thing off.

That's not very encouraging AT ALL. Why does iTunes hate me so much?

7. Why is life so full of pain?

Burning Bridges, by Chris Pureka.

Well you can't just pass along
The pain that comes around
You'll go dizzy until you fall
And I know you didn't mean to let me down
But you let me down so hard.

Well, that's actually rather apt for a change. Life is so full of pain because of betrayal, love, loss, the inability to forgive things, and passing blame off to someone else.

8. How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?

My Give a Damn's Busted, by Jo Dee Messina.

Well, your therapist says it was all a mistake:
A product of the Prozac an' your co-dependent ways.
So who's your neighbor these days?
My give-a-damn's busted.

Does this mean I'm going to have a really crappy boyfriend but we'll at least have great sex? 'Cause that really sucks. Honestly.

9. Will I ever have children?

Victor's Piano Solo, composed by Danny Elfman, from The Corpse Bride.

I don't know what that means at all. But I'm not sure I like it anyway.

10. Will I die happy?

I Put a Spell on You, by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

I put a spell on you, because you're mine
You better stop the things that you're doin'
I said, "Watch out, I ain't lyin'", yeah
I ain't gonna take none of your, foolin' around
I ain't gonna take none of your, puttin' me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine, all right.

Really, I think a simple "no" would have sufficed.

11. What is some good advice for me?

Modern Nature, by Sondre Lerche and Lillian Samdal.

Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be.

I think it's telling me to be more optimistic and go with the flow. Which isn't bad at all. And it's an awesome song.

12. What is happiness?

Butterfly, by Crazy Town.

Butterflies in her eyes and looks to kill
Time is passing I'm asking could this be real
Cause I can't sleep I can't hold still
The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal.

I don't even know why I have this song on here. But I guess happiness = sex appeal?

13. What is my favorite fetish?

I Love This Town, by Bon Jovi.

Yeah let the world keep spinning round 'n' round
This is where it's goin' down, down, down
That's why I, love this town
That's why I, keep comin' round.

I think I need a new favorite fetish.

14. How will I be remembered?

Dear Diary, by Britney Spears.

Dear Diary,
Today I saw a boy and I wondered if he noticed me,
he took my breath away.

Dear Diary,
I can't get him off my mind
and it scares me 'cause I've never felt this way.

I will apparently be remembered as a girl writing in her diary about a boy. Never mind that I don't do that and have never done that. I hate this meme. And my iTunes.


The rules: Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

Who made up all the rules?

Save me save me save me
Bad moon on the horizon
I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
I never felt nothing in the world like this before
When the moon hung soft and low

Take your mind back, I don't know when
If I asked you a question, would you look me in the eye?

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Burn, honey, burn, let the fire eat away
Fight the fight alone when the world is full of victims
Para bailar la bamba
Love so cruel

Find me here
You could be happy and I won't know
Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armor

You can like the life you're living
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
I wear a disguise, I'm just your average Jane
I've seen that darkness on the edge of town
I lie in bed and watch the shadows dancing across the wall.

I really liked it, up until "La Bamba" and "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas". That really disrupted the flow, I think.
