The Soundtrack to my Life implies a Sucky Life

And so here it is, the last day of the year. More than usual, I'm behind in my blogging and my reading of other blogs.

Working my way down the list, so far, I have only read Alexis in Amsterdam and Betland. I'll get to the others, but first, I have to do this meme. I got it from Bet, but it came from Stennie. Chances are, Stenns hasn't written anything since she did this meme anyway.

This meme seems a little silly because it is so random, but what the hell? Maybe iTunes has special powers.

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?

So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc).
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press Play.
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the Next button.
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool.
7. Don’t skip songs.

(1) Opening credits: "She's So High," Blur. Those of you who know me are having a good laugh right now. Those of you who will be spending New Years Eve with me be forwarned!
2) Waking up: "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word," Elton John. I suppose I am remorsful for everything I did during the opening credits? Not that I'd remember what I'd done, of course.
(3) First day at school: "Rest of the Day Off," Neil Finn. I guess I never was really all that into school.
(4) Fight song: "Freewill," Rush. I kick your ass because it is my choice...
(5) Breaking up: "Rollerskate Skinny," Old 97's. Hmm... this one doesn't really fit.
(6) Happiness: "I fought the Law," The Clash. Because being a hardass makes me happy.
(7) Life’s okay: "The House of Love," Squeeze. I couldn't have picked a worse song for this category if I'd tried. For the non-Squeeze fans, the chorus goes, "The house of love caved in and that was it." It's a song sung by a man who hates a particular woman.
(8) Mental breakdown: "For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her" I don't know any Emilys. That may be the problem.
(9) Driving: "I Don't Want To Know," Vaya Con Dios. Nope. This one is about a cheating man. Maybe I'm driving around when I catch him cheating and I run him over?
(10) Flashback: "The End," The Beatles. Perfect! I really do hope that when my life flashes before my eyes in that moment before the end, I'm thinking about the love.
(11) Getting back together: "Feels Just Like It Should," Jamiraquai. Fine. But then why did we break up in the first place?
(12) Wedding: "11:11," Rufus Wainwright God, I hope that's not my wedding!
(13) Birth of a child: "Am I Too Late?," Old 97's. Morbid. Just morbid. This is a song about death.
(14) Final battle: "Every Day I Write The Book," Elvis Costello. Think about the video for this one - it could fit.
(15) Death scene: "Sexual Harassment in the Workplace," Frank Zappa I always knew I'd suffer death by harassment.
(16) Funeral song: "Savoy Truffle," The Beatles. Eat, Drink, Be Merry! I died by harassment, now eat some sweets and think about how much you'll all miss me.
(17) End credits: "Deep Cuts," Squeeze. This is a song about a sexually frustrated prank caller. So let me get this straight: I come into the world all high, kill my cheating lover and his girlfriend with my car, then my baby is a stillborn, and to top it off, I die from sexual harassment, and the closing song glorifies the bastard who kills me? I guess that's just life, eh?

Have a wonderful New Years Eve everyone!
