I've always wanted someone to make a movie about me (one with a good soundtrack, that is)...

Ok... I stole this meme from Kristine. I wanted to cheat, but didn't. I promise (um...yeah--it's probably obvious). hmmm...I might have to return to this little project. Now it's your turn. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez? ;) Humor me.

if your life were a soundtrack, what would the music be?

here's how it works:
1. open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod)
2. put it on shuffle
3. press play
4. for every question, type the song that's playing
5. new question-- press the next button
6. don't lie and try to pretend you're cool

From the soupy cauldren of my ipod:
opening credits:
"Pass You By"--Gillian Welch (Revival)

waking up:
"The Glow"--Bonnie Raitt (Bonnie Raitt Collection)
(If I ever woke up as a drug addict, drunk, and really lonely...well then, I guess this would be the perfect song...not that there haven't been days like that, but...)

first day at school:
"You"--Bonnie Raitt (Longing In Their Hearts)
(repeat artist--fluke of the ipod--bad 80's version.)

mental breakdown:
"Godchild"--Miles Davis (Birth of the Cool)
(hmmm...never knew a mental breakdown would have such a great beat)

(Perfect! You should hear me belt out this tune while driving.)

(*smiling.* I guess this soundtrack came from a movie that, even though there were hardships, you can walk away from feelin' good. And that was the last anyone ever saw of her.....................................)
