Tomorrow I'm going into New York for a long-delayed informational interview, for which I have done zero research and written zero questions. Brilliant. I also just had to send an email begging to push our meeting back half an hour, because I am a dumbass who schedules things too tightly and leaves no time for getting from meeting A to meeting B.

Also -- not entirely my fault -- I thought meeting A was an hour earlier than it actually is, because when someone says "Let's meet at lunch" I assume they mean 12, not 1pm. Whoops.

So of course, I spent the past 20 minutes doing a meme. Because I have priorities in life.

The oldie-but-goodie: Soundtrack of My Life: The Movie Meme
Review the rules:
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
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

Opening Credits: Girl - The Beatles
Is there anybody going to listen
to my story
all about the girl who came to stay

Waking Up: Little Star - Madonna

First Day At School: Dog - Ben Folds
He sees through the fence and he thinks I'm free
But my brain and his chain look the same to me.

Puppy Love: Every You, Every Me - Placebo (Cruel Intentions)
(Um...no.)

Fight Song: Mmmbop - Hanson
In an mmbop you're gone
In an mmbop you're not there
(If it had to be Hanson, I'd probably have chosen "Where's the Love" -- but that's just me.)

Breaking Up: Comforting Lie - No Doubt

Prom: Hang on to Yourself - David Bowie

Life is Good: Because (vocals only) - The Beatles
Because the wind is high
it blows my mind

Driving: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson

Flashback: You Get What You Give - New Radicals

True Love: I Know - Save Ferris (10 Things I Hate About You)
My mama said to stay away from guys like you...
I know (know)
that she said so
And I can't
just let you go

Wedding: Rockafeller Skank - Fatboy Slim
(Because at my wedding, we'll all bust out in a super-hot choreographed dance number, right guys?)

Moment of Triumph: Morning Bell - Radiohead
(Kind of a downer, for a moment of triumph.)

Death Scene:Silver Street - Ben Folds
Now the seasons change
And the storefronts change
Everything else stays the same.
The wind doth blow
and the grass still grows
I'm never leaving Silver Street.

Funeral Song: Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan

End Credits: Pepperland - The Beatles (Yellow Submarine soundtrack).
Alternatively: Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead.

What have we learned here? That the movie of my life apparently takes place between 1998-2000. And it'll be the coolest teen movie EVER MADE.
