Here's a fun blog-meme I lifted from Ramblings at Midnight, who got it from The Assimilated Negro (and my Lord, how honored I am to be in her blogroll along with TAN):

IF YOUR LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

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 we go. I swear I played by the rules, too.
