My sister just sent me this great idea for a post...I have no idea where she got it, but it's FANTASTIC! Thanks Christen!!
Before you think I'm insane for some of my choices, let me explain the rules...you're supposed to pull up your music library and hit Shuffle...with each new question, you hit forward to get "your song." (No cheating and hitting forward till you get a song you like!)
Some of them were right on the money...which is a little bit creepy. Some were WAY off...uh, check out my wedding song...I don't think so! As you can see, my thoughts are included for some of the selections...
You should try it out...it's a lot of fun! You'll be surprised how true they can be...
If my life were a movie, this would be it's soundtrack...Some of them were right on the money...which is a little bit creepy. Some were WAY off...uh, check out my wedding song...I don't think so! As you can see, my thoughts are included for some of the selections...

To ever open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule

And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

This song is a nice ending to a good life...
I know a girl
Who says she loves me
She says she needs me
And I have reason to believe her
Good reason
Like when we kiss
My eyes won`t open
My heart won`t listen
And I don`t have a word to say
No, not a word
Look, my darling
And you`ll hear me sing "I love you"
With my eyes
Let me hold you
Really hold you
Then you`ll know my heart
Just can`t tell lies
It knows a true love
It knows it`s you, love
And it knows that you say
You love me
And I say I love you, too

Apparently I am incapable of writing about New York, but more than happy to write about nonsense.
Haha, I love that the fight song is "Comptine d'une autre ete." That is SO not a fight song. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Amelie soundtrack, by the way!

I SWEAR this was spooky how these came up...and I swear I didn't tamper...How weird are these? Along with my taste for music?!
I thought that 'gary' was our gary, and I was quite shocked that Dad would have written that something kicked ass.
