WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK TO YOUR LIFE BE?

I’ve seen this Meme floating around, Dawn, Christina, Presbytera Elizabeth, and Hibee are among those who have played, and I thought I’d add my voice to the chorus. I have to send out a big whohoooo to Cedric who wrote down the songs as they came up on my car’s MP3 player, since that’s the playlist that most accurately reflects my tastes. Eddie also wrote down a couple, thanks babe.

I’ve been struck reading these how many are actually appropriate. Anyway, here goes:

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, 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. This is Christina's suggestion, unless you really really hate the song (in which case why is it in your library eh), listen to each one all the way thru as it plays. You might just hear something interesting about yourself you weren't expecting.

My thoughts – isn’t it amazing that my very favorite song of all time came up first on the shuffle? That’s a good opening credit for me. And, the boys both commented on how much they like Veronica. And, bwahahahahahahahaha, since I was born in a town called Jackson, which seems particularly appropriate for birth, no?

So, play along, let me know if you did, I’d love to read yours.
