About A Girl: My Life in Song Titles

The other day, one of my Facebook friends posted a note with a fun game to pass on to others.  Normally, I hate those kinds of things, and for the most part, I think they're pretty dumb.  However, this one looked interesting, so I read the challenge.  

It said to take your iPod and put it on shuffle.  Then for each question, you were to press "Next", and write the song title that comes next, no matter how silly it sounded.  I read through the answers that she came up with, and while some didn't make any sense.  I was surprised how funny some of them turned out.  So I decided to try it for myself.

Turns out, it was actually kind of fun!  The more I got to thinking about it, I realized that I knew of some songs that I love that actually would answer these questions to describe me.  Because I'm not very good at talking about myself...I thought this could be a fun way of doing just that.

I decided to go a step further, and delete/change some of the questions, as well as add a couple of my own, to better describe myself.  I liked the random idea, so I'm including what songs came up randomly, as well as the songs that I chose that actually best described me (most songs are actually currently on my mp3 player, but some are just from my mp3 music library).  Keep in mind, I chose songs mostly for the title alone, not necessarily what the song is about.  I liked the song titles are to playlist.com, where you can actually listen to the song if you want.  Unfortunately, I couldn't find all of my songs. :(

And, YES the random songs, were actually what came up...I didn't cheat!
