So there -- I made it through thirteen posts for NaBloPoMo before I fell back against the warm comfort of a filler survey. We are nearing the halfway point for this blogging month, and I imagine there might be another one of these gems on the horizon.
For other interested bloggers, here's the gist:
- Open iTunes, set 'er to "Shuffle"
- Write down the first lyric of each song as the answer to the following questions.
Got it? Golden. Here is what iTunes bestowed upon yours truly:
1. Your first words were?: "Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile."
("Everybody Here Wants You," Jeff Buckley)
Miz Moffatt: I was a randy child, it appears.
2. When you fell down from your bike, what did you say?: "Justice comes into your life and then you'll know."
("Camouflage," Third Eye Blind)
Miz Moffatt: Mmm, profound when injured.
3. What do your friends think of you?: "Help! I need somebody!"
("Help!," The Beatles)
Miz Moffatt: I am rather helpful when processing is involved.
4. What do you think about your friends?: "A warning sign -- I missed the good part, then I realised I started looking and the bubble burst."
("A Warning Sign," Coldplay)
Miz Moffatt: Sounds ominous. Apologies, dearies!
5. What was the first thing you said to your crush?: "I know you've got to go and I wanted to be afraid to say, but I'm not; I'm scared to death of what you've become."
("You Cheated Me," Martha Wainwright)
Miz Moffatt: I sound a touch afraid for someone who has a crush...
6. What was the first thing your crush said to you?: "One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock!"
("(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock," Bill Haley & The Comets)
Miz Moffatt: ... and this response would explain the hesitation.
7. How did you respond?: "I wake up exhausted."
("Wake Up Exhausted," Tegan and Sara)
Miz Moffatt: Most likely from the rockin' around the clock... or from the fear...
8. What did you say when your best friend and you were having a fight?: "Oh, you crawled out of the sea straight into my arms."
("Crawled Out of the Sea (Interlude)," Laura Marling)
Miz Moffatt: Ooooh, evolutionary insults. SNAP.
9. What is the line that describes what you're feeling?: "Close your eyes, and I'll kiss you."
("All My Loving," The Beatles)
Miz Moffatt: No need for words -- let me show you.
10. What is your message to the world?: "Oh, I am growing tired."
("Hate This And I'll Love You," Muse)
Miz Moffatt: In general.
11. What was the first thing you said in your wedding vows?: "You ask me how I've become mad, now."
("Madman Running Through the Fields," Dantalian's Chariot)
Miz Moffatt: Nothing says "I love you" like psychadelic rock.
12. What did your husband/wife say on their wedding vows?: "So long ago, I don't remember when, that's when they say I lost my only friend."
("One Headlight," The Wallflowers)
Miz Moffatt: .... Where are you going with this, wifey?
13. What are the first lyrics you will dance to on your wedding?: "I've waited for so long, put up with your shenanigans."
("Saturday Night," Noisettes)
Miz Moffatt: An awesome song from a wicked band -- I would be down with this choice.
14. When you're scared, what do you usually say?: "Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy, and alcohol!"
("Feel Good Hit of the Summer (Reprise)," Queens of the Stone Age)
Miz Moffatt: I scream addictive substances. It calms me more than the substances themselves.
15. When you cry, what do you usually say?: "Jo-Jo was a man who thought he was a loner, but he knew couldn't last."
("Get Back," The Beatles)
Miz Moffatt: Aww, consoling myself with another's sorrow.
16. When you're angry, what do you usually say?: "Waiting line till your time, ticking clock --everyone stop."
("In the Waiting Line," Zero 7)
Miz Moffatt: Calming music meets raging anger...?
17. You cry over what words?: "Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men."
("Nightmares by the Sea," Jeff Buckley)
Miz Moffatt: Hmm, ominous.

22. Your first thought when you wake up?: "I try to remember your room."
("Your Room," Mia Doi Todd)
Miz Moffatt: Sure.
23. What are the last words you will say?: "Just one look and I felt so -- I'm in love with you."
("Just One Look," Ted Hawkins)
Miz Moffatt: Aww, a deathbed confession of love. I do like grand exits.
