A little game has been going around on Facebook that I thought I'd try. You are supposed to put your iTunes (iPod) on shuffle and answer the following questions with the song titles that come up. When I did mine, I skipped over titles that made no obvious or even metaphorical sense. I think being too much of a purist ruins the fun.
I was pretty amazed at some of the answers:
How would you describe yourself?
Breaking Silence (Janis Ian)
What do you like in a guy/girl?
Living in the Past (Jethro Tull)
How do you feel today?
I who have nothing (Ben King)

You've Lost That Loving Feeling (Righteous Brothers)

What is your life story?
Juliet's requiem (Nellee Hooper)
What do you want to be when you grow up?

About Me
- Theresa Williams
- Northwest Ohio, United States
- "I was no better than dust, yet you cannot replace me. . . Take the soft dust in your hand--does it stir: does it sing? Has it lips and a heart? Does it open its eyes to the sun? Does it run, does it dream, does it burn with a secret, or tremble In terror of death? Or ache with tremendous decisions?. . ." --Conrad Aiken

Fave Painting: Eden
Fave Painting: The Three Ages of Man and Death
From the First Chapter
The Secret of Hurricanes : That article in the Waterville Scout said it was Shake- spearean, all that fatalism that guides the Kennedys' lives. The likelihood of untimely death. Recently, another one died in his prime, John-John in an airplane. Not long before that, Bobby's boy. While playing football at high speeds on snow skis. Those Kennedys take some crazy chances. I prefer my own easy ways. Which isn't to say my life hasn't been Shake-spearean. By the time I was sixteen, my life was like the darkened stage at the end of Hamlet or Macbeth. All littered with corpses and treachery.

What fun! I'll have to do this!
Thanks Theresa! Great fun! I tried it too.
Gretchen
Interesting results. Terrific taste in music!
How awesome that you have Jim Croce on your iPod. I thought I was the only one who still remembered him.
"One Less Set of Footsteps" is one of my favorite songs of his, but he has few weak ones, truth be told.
