Came across this meme on a friend’s blog, and it sounded kind of interesting, so I thought I’d give it a try.
The rules, as I got them, are as follows:
- Put your music player on shuffle
- Press forward for each question
- Use the song title as the answer
- NO CHEATING!!! What you get is what you get!
I’m more than a little bit disturbed by the pattern that began to develop as the experiment wound on…fortunately, I can point it all to the fact that I didn’t have very much music loaded on my ipod when I did this, so maybe I can try it again later with a broader selection of my music and it will end up feeling a bit less like my ipod is trying to question my sexual orientation.
