Just so you know, I'm going friends only. I'm not mean, if you friend me, I'll probably add you, I just need to be able to keep track of who reads this.

If you happened upon this page by chance, hi. I'm Kate. Nice to meet you. This journal is generally rants about music and pop culture. Sometimes anecdotes from my life. Which may or may not be relevant to anything at all.

Cheers.

Jemaine. And I'm not just saying that because he sort of looks like Josh, either.

I've decided to get involved with mission101_2009, because I really suck at new year's resolutions and I like that you have 2.75 years to do this stuff.

Here's the list:

( just show me what i'm looking for )

Directions:
1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. You must write that song name down no matter how silly it sounds!

Some of these came out actually making sense (especially the motto one... I'm going to get a line from that song tatooed on my back someday, actually) and some of them really didn't. I've provided you with lyric fragments to illustrate either of the above. Logical? You decide.


IF SOMEONE SAYS "IS THIS OKAY" YOU SAY?
Everybody's Song -- Low
live your life of stupid luck,
it's a game and nobody does it better

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?
Slipping Under (Sing Along To Your Favorite Song) -- William Tell
you got a heartbeat for a voice,
and that's not your fault.


WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
Space Monkey -- Placebo
don’t ever fake it
and don’t let me down
like you let me down before

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
You've Made Us Conscious -- The Audition
the simple ways we roll our eyes
are exactly how we disguise our secrets.
you know you need this.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?
Don't Slow Down -- Copeland (a song for the girl)
you move way too fast,
but don’t slow down, don’t let go
you can take everything I have, but don’t leave my side

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
Black Mamba -- The Academy Is
this is the voice that I was given
(and if you don't like it,
take a long walk off of the shortest pier you can find
I'll keep singing it out.)

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race -- Fall Out Boy
crashing not like hips or cars, no, more like parties
I’m a leading man, and the lies I weave are oh so intricate

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
Chicago Is So Two Years Ago -- Fall Out Boy
there’s a light on in Chicago
and I know I should be home

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK ABOUT YOU?
Dancing Through Life -- Wicked
skimming the surface
gliding where turf is smooth
life's more painless for the brainless
why think too hard when it's so soothing?

WHAT IS 2 + 2?
When I Go Out With Artists – Crash Test Dummies
if I could see all the symbols, unlock what they mean
maybe I could meet the artists, get to know them personally

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
Julia -- The Beatles
half of what I say is meaningless
but I say it just to reach you

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
Behind The Moon -- Matt Costa
all the stars point me to you
and lately they just drive me crazy

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
Hum Hallelujah -- Fall Out Boy
sometimes we take chances
sometimes we take pills

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
The Animal Song -- Savage Garden
the subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away, so take my hand now
'cause I want to live like animals
I want to run through the jungle
the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
Bang The Doldrums -- Fall Out Boy
I cast a spell over the West to make you think of me
the same way I think of you
this is a love song, in my own way

WHAT SONG WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR WEDDING?
I Get Around -- Dragonette (I really hope they do, lol. That would be epic.)
here I come when I better go
I say yes when I ought to say no

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
Don't Leave Me Now (Live) -- Pink Floyd
don't say it's the end of the road
remember the flowers I sent ?
I need you, babe,
to put through the shredder in front of my friends

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST??
You Alone -- Street Dogs
another rainy New England night
at your wit's end with no hope in sight
you turn on Costello, it's welcome to the working week

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
Pin Your Wings Down -- Copeland
there's no place left for trust in all this pain
and you know when it rains in this town I get washed away
without a sound
so pin my wings down, if it’s over now


WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
Tonight, Tonight -- Smashing Pumpkins
and the embers never fade
in your city by the lake
the place where you were born
(the indescribable moments of our lives, tonight)

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
Seasons of Love B -- Rent Soundtrack
how do you measure a year in the life? measure in love
