No, not that kind. Perverts.
Here is yet another meme. I can't help myself. Well, I suppose I can, but I'm in the midst of a subject draught at the moment so you're just going to have to suffer. I'm not in the manner of tagging people because I'm ignoring some, and I'm afraid that if I do tag some people and they never do it, that is an admission that they don't read me. My stats are wallowing in suck at the moment, so I don't think I can tolerate knowing for a fact that certain people have given up on me. I guess this is what happens when you do self-absorbed posts about what kind of blogger you are, like anyone but you give a shit.
Before I start my 8000th meme this year, here's another tangent. My use of "this is what happens when..." reminds me of something. The line "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass" is uttered in one of my favourite movies, The Big Lebowski. I saw someone on TV the other day saying that they watched an edited network version of the movie (what's the point?) recently and the line was changed to "This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps." Quite similar to the original then. That is up there with the edited version of some Die Hard movie that was on TNT way back in the day. "Stupid motherfucker" became "Stupid melon farmer". Do the censors do this to be humorous? Can any of you contribute with what you may have heard in edited films?
Anyway, onto the meme. Since I'm not tagging, I welcome anyone to do to it if they are so inclined. Molly can do it on her toiletPod. I lifted this from Julia over at Major Bedhead. Blame her for my obsession with myself this time.
If your life were a soundtrack, what would the music be?
Here's how it works: Open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod). Put it on shuffle. Press play. For every question, type the song that's playing. New question - press the next button. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool !
Opening Credits: Sleep to Dream - Fiona Apple. Uh, I guess that would be better for the next question...
Waking Up: Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me - The Smiths. As it happens, another sleep theme! Go ZenMicro!
First Day of School: All These Things That I've Done - The Killers
Falling in Love: I Want the One I Can't Have - The Smiths. Weird. I didn't try that one either, and guess what - my first big crush (about 5 years duration) was on someone that had no interest in me whatsoever.
Breaking Up: Like a Friend - Pulp. Ok, now this is just eerie.
School formal: Christianssands - Tricky. Uh, my number one sex song, so no, no school formal there.
Life's Okay: Eskimo - Damien Rice
Mental Breakdown: I'm Alright Now - Johnny Cash. Again, creepy.
Why Can't We Be Friends: Discover - Tim Booth
Movin' Out: Pure Morning - Placebo
Getting Back Together: I Could Be Dreaming - Belle & Sebastian
Wedding: Just Like Heaven - The Cure. Heh.
Birth of a Child: Fell in Love with a Girl - White Stripes. It's official. My Zen has an evil eye.
Final Battle: Naughty Girl - Beyonce. Only I would have a Beyonce song as representative of my "Final battle"
Death Scene: What Can I Do? - Antony & the Johnsons
Funeral Song: KKK-Mart - Margaret Cho. Not so much a song, but a bit from Cho's stand-up about the KKK. Now that's the tone you want to set at a funeral.
End Credits: Drive On - Johnny Cash. Drive on indeed...
Now I'm off to take apart my Zen to see if it has a little being in it controlling its machinations.

Censors do that? Change lines?
How does that work? A voice-over?
No can do on the meme. I'd just get all my husband's music, I bet. That would be bad for my image.
I didn't cheat but it was incredibly tempting ...
Dear Pru, that was amazingly eerie. Freaky, even. Mind-reading -- is this the first step to MP3 players taking over the world?
"This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps" is so... a propos. A real improvement, I find, on the original. And not puzzling or pathetic at all.
Whoa, man. You have a ghost in your machine.
I've found that most movies shouldn't be watched on network tv.
My favorite is maggot farmer
I cracked, and did it. First meme I've ever done. Is this a slippery slope? And if it is, can I blame you?
I think that every iPod related meme I've ever done has ended up being creepily relevant in one way or another. It also likes to fuck with me on a daily basis.
My favorite example is the TV version of Fargo. Every f-bomb is turned into "fruzz." It's much better when they just drop out the sound.
You always lose me at the Beyonce.
