  Movie Soundtrack of My Life

  
  Yep, so this is another one of those "what does your music player really tell about you" questionnaire. And you are going to read the results, because you are just so cool. Cooler even than I, who took the ridiculously large amount of time to complete this one. Enjoy...and comment. And yeah...I reallllllllyyyyy need to focus and study. Seriously!
  
  
  

  Soundtrack of my life
  1. Put your
  music player of choice on shuffle
  2. Scene.. first song played,
  scene two = second, so on.
  3. No cheating/skipping
  
   

  Opening
  Credits: Alan Jackson (w Jimmy Buffet) – Five O'Clock Somewhere
  Already into the booze ---this can't be
  good foreshadowing...
  
  
  Waking Up: Keane – Somewhere Only
  We Know
  Aww, someday this will be true?!
  
  An Ordinary Day:
  Gran Bel Fisher – Bound By Love
  They like me, they really like
  me!
  
  First Day at School: Jack Johnson – Banana Pancakes
  Oh
  really? I guess pancakes are a good first-day breakie?
  
  First
  Date: Amos Lee – Shout Out Loud
  Haha, it wasn't that bad,
  really.

  
  

  
  Falling in Love: Diplo – Diplo
  Rhythm
  “gonna make it last, better know that...”
  
  The
  Rumble: Postal Service – Natural Anthem
  Apparently this is going
  to be a very Matix-esque fight? Strange music, but possibly
  fitting!
  
  The Break Up: The Eagles – Tequila Sunrise
  At
  least I'll have something to get me through...
  
  Getting Back
  Together: Tegan and Sarah – Your Love
  Romantic
  
  Prom:
  Anya Marina – Miss Halfway
  Interesting -- “says I'm imperfect
  in every way” - I didn't feel quite that bad, despite the
  chicken
  
  Life's OK: Joe Purdy – I Love the Rain the Most
  Aww,
  its simple and pretty.
  
  Mental Breakdown: Gone – Montgomery
  Gentry
  If I ever crack, I will be GONE!
  
  Driving: Snow
  Patrol – You Could Be Happy
  Works for me Maybe I'll travel.
  Or never experience road rage. Or just enjoy the ride that is
  life!
  
  Flashback: The Faders – Better Off Dead
  Oh, right,
  this is SO encouraging. I better not regret stuff!
  
  Wedding:
  Joe Diffie – Third Rock From the Sun
  Seriously? SERIOUSLY? The
  guy is freakin cheating on his wife – but she takes revenge,
  muahaha! “Cause and effect, chain of events, all of the chaos makes
  perfect sense”
  
  Dance Song: Anna Nalick – Wreck of the
  Day
  Its nice slow song – perfect for dancing with my special guy
  when I've had a bad day. I can see it now...its like a movie in my
  head!
  
  Regretting: Emiliana Torrini – Nothing Brings Me
  Down
  Good...I may regret stuff, but I'm not going to get stuck in
  a rut of hindsight.
  
  The Long Night Alone: Chamillionaire –
  Ridin'
  Really? That is going to be a very interesting night.
  
  
  Sex Scene: Tim McGraw – Country Boys and Girls
  Apparently
  its going to be in the bed of a pick-up. Classy chick that I am...
  
  Birth of a Child:
  Alabama – Mountain Music
  And I shall name him Billy-Sue. And if
  it a girl, she shall be called...well...Billy-Sue.
  
  Final
  Battle: Butterfly Boucher – Never Leave Your Heart Alone
  “and
  its open for distruction” --- this is going to be painful, isn't
  it?
  
  Death Scene: Vince Gill – Nothin' But the Tailights
  I
  am going to be mugged, killed, and dumped out of a pick up truck.
  Maybe after my sex scene?

  That's right – even in death, I will be
  spectacular!
  
  End Credits (Finally): George Strait – Amarillo
  By Morning
  Okay! I'll be happy, doing what I love...that's a good
  life. Until I die.

  They Call it the "Quarter Life Crisis"

  A Friend of mine showed me this - and I'm running with it. Its too true, and too comforting not to share - so, at the risk of breaking my "sporadic-blogging" rule, I'm sharing it with you all.
  
  
  
  Turning 20
  
  
  
  They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis."
  
  
  
  It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
  
  
  You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones.
  
  
  What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
  
  
  You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.
  
  
  Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't.
  
  
  One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life.
  
  
  You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly,change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
  
  
  You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.
  
  
  One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap.
  
  
  Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.
  
  
  You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.
  
  
  You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!
  
  
  
  What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

  My Life is a Song...Game!!!

  I *borrowed* this from a fellow Grey's Anatomy fan's blog...its so much fun, I had to share it with you all! Try it, even if you have played before!
  
  
  
  

   

  1. Put your music player on shuffle.
  
  2. Press
  forward for each question.
  
  3. Use the song title as the answer
  to the question even if it doesn’t make sense.
  
  
  Will
  it be ok?
  “Suddenly I See” - KT Tunstall

  
  

  So I'm going to have some kind of
  epiphany, I assume...

  
  

  How
  are you feeling today?
  “All My Life” - Rosie Thomas

  
  

  Aren't we all looking for that
  “someone” (except those blessed to have already found him/her)?

  
  

  How
  do your friends see you?
  “To Where You Are” - Josh
  Groban

  
  

  This is
  morbid – I'm not dead to them, am I?

  
  

  Will
  you get married?
  “Not Ready To Make Nice” - Dixie
  Chicks

  
  

  I guess I have some anger to work
  through, first....

  
  

  What
  is your best friend’s theme song?
  “Downtown” -
  Tegan and Sara

  
  

  Okay, a bit
  awkwardly weird I think.

  
  
  

  What
  is the story of your life?
  “Fast as You” - Dwight
  Yoakam

  
  

  Hahaha,
  “Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you.” - Okay boys,
  line up!

  
  

  What
  was high school like?
  "You and Me" Lifehouse

  
  

  So, high school was never this
  romantic. But I guess if you consider a long time crush, it could be
  fitting.

  
  

  How
  can you get ahead in life?
  "This is How a Heart
  Breaks" Rob Thomas

  
  

  There is an awful lot of
  heartbreaking going on – I hope its not mine all the time

  
  

  What
  is the best thing about your friends?
  “”I know I
  know I know” Tegan and Sarah

  
  

  Loyalty and
  friendship, I guess. Just minus the mushy love stuff!

  
  

  What
  is tonight going to be like?
  "Only Hope" Mandy
  Moore

  
  

  Sounds promising ...
  

  
  

  What
  is in store for the remainder of this weekend?
  "Tequila"
  Richie Valens

  
  

  Seriously?! How exciting!

  
  

  What
  song describes you?
  "Kissable, Huggable, Loveable"
  Diamond Rio

  
  

  I sure hope so! I love this
  song-match!

  
  

  To
  describe your grandparents?
  "Backyards of Our
  Neighbours" Au Revoir Simone

  
  

  Classic romance and neighborly
  relations?

  
  

  How
  is your life going?
  "Hanging By a Moment"
  Lifehouse

  
  

  Aww – this is a positive song
  about holding on to love – so okay! I'm not just hanging on for
  dear life!

  
  

  What
  song will they play at your funeral?
  "Amarillo By
  Morning" George Strait

  
  

  My mom and I love this song! Maybe
  my dreams will come true by the end of my life!

  
  

  How
  does the world see you?
  "Here With Me" Dido

  
  

  Yay, the world thinks I'm
  important...haha!

  
  

  Will
  you have a happy life?
  "Today Has Been Okay"
  Emiliana Torrini

  
  

  Works for me!!!

  
  

  What
  do your friends really think of you?
  "Guitars,
  Cadillacs" Dwight Yoakam

  
  

  Eek, say it ain't so!! But I do
  like Hillbilly music I guess – as evidence by the increasing amount
  of country on this list!

  
  

  Do
  people secretly lust after you?
  "Cross My Heart"
  George Strait

  
  

  I guess I'm after true love, so it
  doesn't really matter!

  
  

  How
  can I make myself happy?
  "What This World Needs is A
  Few More Rednecks" Charlie Daniels Band

  
  

  I guess I'm headed down South!
  Works for me – thats where my family is anyhow!
  

  
  

  What
  should you do with your life?
  "Breathe (2 am)"
  Anna Nalick

  
  

  Life theme, for sure! “Just
  breathe...” - makes me think I'll get through the tough times.
  

  
  

  Will
  you ever have children?
  "Open Your Eyes" Snow
  Patrol

  
  

  I think so! Maybe later in life,
  but “I want so much to open your eyes”...

   

  
  If you try it, post your results in my comments so I can see!
  
  Hope you are well! Stay happy!
