Yep, I'm stealing these from Son and/or Lacy. I'm bored.

SET #1!!!

IF YOUR LIFE WAS 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.

NO CHEATING

Opening Credits: Come On Come On by Smash Mouth (eh?)

Waking Up: Jack Russell Terrier (....it's a breed-specific song I found on the Internet. XD It includes the line "You think you know me? You don't know Jack!")

First Day of School: Caillin Na Gruaige Baine (I cannot understand anything this song is about. But it's pretty. XD This doesn't bode well for school...)

Falling In Love: Defeat You (Smash Mouth again) (Eheheheheheheh! XD Falling in love probably isn't happening for me either, and it's nice to know the song backs me up!)

Fight Song: Cheeseburger in Paradise (Jimmy Buffet. I can't think of a less likely fight song. XD)

Breaking Up: What's Left of the Flag (Flogging Molly. Aw, this one's vaguely appropriate. Sort of. Freedom ahoy!)

Prom: Bed Bed Bed (They Might Be Giants. XD As I spent the night of the prom here curled up in my bed nursing four burned fingers, this one's oddly appropriate.)

Life's OK: Beauty Spot (by Solas. This one's oddly appropriate, though it's an instrumental piece.)

Mental Breakdown: Helmethead (by Great Big Sea. It's about a philandering hockey player. *dies laughing* I'm not the most mentally stable person, but I like to think that Helmethead isn't going to be related to the cause of my instanity.)

Driving: Life is a Lemon And I Want My Money Back (by Meat Loaf. I suspect my car will be a lemon, too. XD)

Flashback: River (by Natalie Merchant. It's flashbacky, but not MY flashbacks. )

Getting Back Together: Chafe's Celidh (by Great Big Sea again. XD This one's another instrumental, but it's so happy that I can easily imagine it as a remade friendship._

Wedding: Father and Son (Cat Stevens. O____________O This... would probably have made more sense in the next slot.)

Birth of Child: Sullivan Street (Counting Crows. No comment here. )

Death Scene: A Pirate Looks At Forty (Jimmy Buffett again. XD I'm gonna be a pirate!)

Funeral Song: Never There (Hoobastank. Jeez, that's cheerful.)

End Credits: Way of the Warrior (...*whistles* From a budding academic, that one's pretty interesting.)

Er. Dunno. Currently I'm most interested in Barack Obama as a presidential candidate. He's looking really interesting.

How would I know how history would change? I can't imagine doing anything that thoughtless without knowing what would come of it. :/
