Like Real People Do

This game came up for me as a memory on Facebook--my original post was dated March 9, 2009.  Hard to believe I've been on FB that long.  Anyway, it's been a while since I posted so I figured I'd go ahead and play this again today and see what comes up.

[Note:  After I went through this, I realized some commentary was necessary, so I've added that too.]

Rules:
1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, i-pod, 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 makes you look.
4. Title this note what the answer to your last question is.
5. Good luck and have fun!


IF SOMEONE SAYS 'IS THIS OKAY' YOU SAY?
On & On (Eryka Badu)

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?
Take Good Care of My Heart (Whitney Houston/Jermaine Jackson)

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
They Can't Take That Away from Me (Ella Armstrong/Louis Armstrong)

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
The Big Bang (Katy Tiz)

Yeah, like my head is going to explode from allergies.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?
Mean (Pink)

My life's purpose is to not be mean.  I try really hard, anyway.

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
The Tracks of My Tears (Adam Lambert's version from American Idol)

This makes it sounds like I caused my parents a lot of grief.  That is not the case!

WHAT DO YOU OFTEN THINK ABOUT?
Like a G6 (Far East Movement)

As in, what is a G6 anyway?

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
Come to Me (Mary J. Blige)

Kerri, in my original Facebook post, the answer here was, "'The Secret Life of You' (Kerri Arista)" :o)

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
Jack & Diane (John Mellencamp)

First, I didn't know this song was on my iPod.  Second, I had to listen to the lyrics again to see how this could possibly be my life story.  It makes sense...the whole song is about life and growing up. 

Hold on to sixteen as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men....

Life goes on
Long after the thrill of living is gone 

Interesting.

WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
It's Alright With Me (Harry Connick, Jr.)

WHAT WILL/DID YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
Berzerk (Eminem)

This would make for an interesting dance.

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
Ooo Baby Baby (Smokey Robinson & The Miracles)

Tracks of my Tears would've been more appropriate here, I think.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
Trio #1, Movement 3 (Mark Sylvester)

This is my friend Mark's song, and it makes it's not as scary as this question makes it sound.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
Paso En Tampa (not sure, from the ¡Cubanismo! Mardi Gras Mambo CD)

Does this mean "Time in Tampa"?  If so, I got nothin'.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
Village Ghetto Land (Stevie Wonder)

This one made me laugh out loud.  Me and my friends--Village Ghetto Land!  Ha!

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO NAME THIS NOTE (POST)?
Like Real People Do (Hozier)

The challenge is getting challenging

Ok, this is a quick post because it's time for me to go to bed, but I didn't want to miss posting today.  I'm not sure what to write about, so I'll just go with some random thoughts.

• Because I had to get to bed early last night, I didn't watch the Golden Globes.  I did, however, hear about Atlanta winning best comedy, and Donald Glover winning best comedy actor, and I felt so pleased. 
• I didn't meet my reading goal for 2016--I was supposed to read 24 books, but I only got 21.  I've got three separate books going right now, so if I finish those up soon, this year will be off to a good start.
• Also, if I finish those books up soon, I'll have something to post about here on the blog.
• The other day, I was with a musician friend of mine and I was telling him how I wish I hadn't given up music (I used to play the flute) and that perhaps I should take up an instrument.  He immediately said I should play the ukelele.  I looked them up online, and you can get one pretty cheaply--I just might do that.  What I really miss, though, is knowing how to read music and the tiny bit of music theory that I used to know.  I'd like to get back into that again.  I haven't made my goals for 2017 yet, but one of them will involve this topic.  I have the bonus advantage in that the friend who suggested the ukelele also teaches it (and other stringed instruments). I just have to find a way to fit his schedule.
•  I'm in the process of moving--I sold my house and am living with my parents temporarily.  While I'm going through all this house stuff, I've become addicted to HGTV.  Chip and Joanna on Fixer Upper and the Property Brothers are my favorites.  

Like I said, random thoughts.  Good night!
