So, a while back, I had this Shuffle Post that I started to post, but never did and it got buried in the ol' blog archives. I was thinking of posting it today, then I saw that there was a similar meme going around. So I thought to myself, "Self: why not do both?" And it was as good as done.
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool..
Here's the old one (freshly shuffled for today):
How am I feeling today? Sqaure One - Coldplay
Will I get far in life? One Day I'll Fly Away - Nicole Kidman
How do my friends see me? Lebenese Blonde - Thievery Corporation
What is my best friend's theme song? Best Imitation of Myself - Ben Folds
What is my theme song? When I Drink - Sylvie Lewis
What is the story of my life? Life is a Highway - Tom Cochran
What was high school like? Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf
How can I get ahead in life? Go or Go Ahead - Rufus Wainwright
What is the best thing about me? Addicted to Love - Robert Palmer
What is today going to be like? Walking Without Effort - Richard Swift
What is in store for this weekend? The First Taste - Fiona Apple
What song describes my parents? No One Else - Weezer
Describes me? Ain't That Lonely Yet- Dwight Yoakam (HA!)
How is my life going? Miss Halfway - Anya Marina
What song will be played at my funeral? Selah - Lauryn Hill
How does the world see me? Champagne Supernova - Oasis
Will I have a happy life? Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
How can I make myself happy? Building a Mystery - Sarah McLachlan
What should I do with my life? Ohio (Come Back to Texas) - Bowling for Soup (My parents should like that one!)

Dude. Are you sure you didn't alter it somehow to make all those connections? That was creepy how almost everything fit! What a cool idea! The only problem is, I have like 6000 songs on both my mp3 players, so the likelihood of coming up with one as interesting as yours is slim to none.
Posted by: UJ at October 27, 2006 10:32 AMMy iPod was just in a good mood today. When I had first done it a couple of months ago, it didn't turn out so good, which is why I never posted it. I have about 1000 songs in mine, but I couldn't have made a better list if I had chosen the songs myself.
