For today's random filler post, I have picked up a disused and dirty meme that filtered through the non-poetry blogosphere a few weeks ago. To wit, I have used the shuffle function on Das iPod to predict my future, through song titles. And yes, to answer your question, I have no inner resources.
* What does next year have in store for me? Sound of Settling (Death Cab for Cutie) Oh, well, that's just great.
* What does my love life look like? July, July (Decemberists). Now I don't know if I should look for something to happen in July or December.
* What do I say when life get hard? Don't Let's Start (TMBG).
* What do I think of when I get up in the morning? Spiders (Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Well, I suppose I sometimes think of spiders.
* What song will I dance to at my wedding? So Far Away (Social Distortion) Well, a wedding is probably very far away for me at this point, but I would also really like to dance to this at whatever wedding I might have, so yeah.
* What do I want for my career? South Australia (The Pogues). I would like to go Australia, or be a professional drunkard Irish punk rocker, so yes yes yes.
* Favorite saying? You Gotta Believe (Rose Royce and the Pointer Sisters).
* Favorite place? Crescent City (Emmylou Harris). I've only been there once. I took a gypsy cab to the Superdome.
* What do I think of my parents? Such Great Heights (The Postal Service). Awwwww.
* Where would I go on a first date? Shady Lane (Pavement). Sounds okay, but not if it's shady in the sense of sketchy, rather than simply in shadow.
* Drug of Choice? Mexican God (Robyn Hitchcock). Um, no comment?
* How do I describe myself? Atom Bomb (Fluke). Well, maybe a very very very tiny atom bomb on a miniature planet peopled entirely by hoos.
* What is the thing I like doing the most? Velvet Pants (Propellerheads). Heeeeee.
* What is my state of mind like at the moment? The Blues are Still Blue (Belle & Sebastian).
* How will I die? I Know What I Know (Paul Simon). Apparently, knowledge will kill me.
* Song they'll play at my funeral? Ballroom Blitz (The Damned). That would actually be great.
* What song will I put as the subject of this post? Estoy Aqui (Shakira). She is so awesome in Spanish.
So there you are. I know my future, and you have dipped into the extremely white, nerdy, hipstery place that is my iPod. I am nothing more than my demographic. Alas.
