Go to your music player of choice and put it all on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and after each one press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question.
What do you think of me, Winamp? Spoon - "Metal Detektor" ...thanks, Winamp
Will I have a happy life? Franz Ferdinand - "Darts of Pleasure" I believe it.
What do my friends really think of me? Ben Folds Five - "Song For the Dumped" Oh. :(
Do people secretly lust after me? Vanessa Carlton - "Pretty Baby" Wow, thanks, friends. P.S. Yes, it IS embarrassing that I have that. I downloaded it a couple years ago to irritate Nathan with, but it isn't the actual song. It's the chorus on loop. Not that that makes it okay. But downloading something to harrass someone is okay.
How can I make myself happy? Tori Amos - "Carnival" Carnivals DO make me happy.
What should I do with my life? a midi theme of the videogame Kid Icarus Which is kind of funny, becuase I was thinking I might play that later, and I can pretty much play that game forever. But I don't know that that's a good plan.
Why must life be so full of pain? Apples in Stereo - "Dots 1-2-3" ...
How can I maximize my pleasure during sex? They Might Be Giants - "Stormy Pinkness" ?
Can you give me some advice? Tori Amos - "Bells For Her" [Live] Thanks...
What do you think happiness is? theme from the film Candyman Yikes!!!!
Wow, that was a lot of fun for me. {g}

This weekend, I went to MonsterMania 4. I should really write up how I felt about it, much like I should write up how I felt about MMCon3. In short, I had a good time. I watched only one movie this time, as opposed to when I'd watch a handful at the con, but there was much less of a need, since they showed seven of the Halloween movies. At least show Halloween 3 for the sake of completeness, ya jerks. I'm still kind of really impressed that Wes Craven was there. Even though I question a lot of his work, but I mean, he's a really famous director...
More on that later, I hope. If I can ever write about MMCon 3, that would also be nice. :p
Hwuh, what else? Well, one night this past week, Nathan, Chocolates, and I went to the dog park with Patti and her dog Jess. That was really fun for me and Dewis. Later that night, Nathan and I had dinner with Alyssa, which also was cooltown. On Thursday, Nathan and I went to Great Adventure, but that was kind of less cooltown for me. The weather was better than I'm used to, but the lines were worse than I'm used to. The highlight of my trip was riding the cable cars, which they rarely ever run.
First day of classes is Friday, but one of them is canceled, so that leaves two for me to go to: Intermediate Accounting I and Principles of Finance. I'm supposed to come in and work some on Tuesday, which I always like to do. I think it'll be less fun, once school starts, and it gets crowded and more people are working there and coming in and out. Also, I have mixed feelings about class starting, but overall, I'm looking forward (or else I would not be there). And everyone should sprinkle luck all over me, so that I can get myself an internship, when I start looking. Oh oh, one guy that I work with asked me to knit him something, so I made him a little wristband out of the baby yarn I had left, and he liked it. Then one of the secretaries saw it, and now she wants me to knit her a scrunchie. I feel honored that they'd want me to do something like that for them. I hope I can pick up some yarn for that soon.

I saw Tori Amos play tonight. It was a better than average setlist. It was cooltown to hear Mr. Zebra and Leather, and she played Tiny Dancer (for me, I guess) and Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I rather liked the opener, but their CD was too much money.
It looks like I'll be spending between $800 and $850 on textbooks this semester. {sigh} But I'm hoping I can reuse at least two for future semesters. School starts on the first, but I don't have class that day, so my first day is really sarah's birthday.
I have a great big crush on David Wain. What am I to do about that? I didn't have one twelve years ago, and now I do. Hmph.

"Maybe... I'll put it in her brownie"
Hahahahahaha... "Afternoon Delight," that's too much. I love Arrested Development too much.
Oi, so today, there were really bad thunderstorms. No rain here *of course* but I went with my mom and uncle to the bank and other places. As they were processing my uncle's stuff at the bank, the power went out, so we had to wait for everything to come back on, so they could redo whatever it was that he wanted them to do. Then we waited in the car, while my mom went to the damn dollar store. Did I ever say how much I hate the dollar store? I hate it as much as my mom loves it. That's how much I hate it. We ate at McDonalds, and the power went out for good after we got our food, but in between getting drinks. I got mine, but they didn't get theirs. Did you know that when the power goes out at McDonalds, they have to lock the doors? It's true. So we ate, but they had to go without drinks, and I without refills and a sundae. On our way out, they gave my mom three bottles of water. We were also supposed to go to the grocery store, but everyplace in the area had no power for I don't know how long. There were police directing traffic at every light. At least we never lost power at home.
Nintendogs looks like the cutest game in the entire universe forever. Look at the screenshots. Look at them! I'm going to have to preorder it, I guess, so that I'm sure to get it. I shall, of course, get Dachshund & Friends, and then I will probably cry due to the overwhelming cuteness. {g}
Pet peeve #510: Do you know how many people can't pronounce "Dachshund?" I was looking at the Nintendogs board on gamefaqs last night, and there was a thread asking how to pronounce it, and the majority of people call them "dash hounds" or "dutch hounds"! dkhnfoasdihtoiasdnfioasdht It is "docksund" or "docksun"!
Thing #5594 that makes me super angry: When I was in second grade, we had to write about pets or animals or some crap. I wanted to say we had a dachshund named Binky. I asked my second grade teacher (who was a bitch anyway) how to spell dachshund. She said, "sound it out." I said, "D-O-X-U-N-D?" She said, "look it up." I never found it in the dictionary, obviously. What the fuck? She could have said she didn't know how to spell it, if that were the case, and if she did know how to spell it, then she could have told me it was a difficult German word and told me how to spell that. She was terrible. For many reasons.
That War At Home show looks dreadful.
Ugh. So tonight, I was finally going to take the necessary steps to canceling AOL. I'd made plans to use Snip as our next dial-up ISP. If we were to pay for six-months at a time, it would cost about $18 a month, cheaper than AOL. So I just called up the AOL to find out when our billing cycle ends and to let them know that we're done with it after that. Then the guy sees that we've had AOL for seven years, and he proposes this offer that if we keep AOL, we pay only $15 a month from now on. I said I'd need to think about it, so he set it up for the following billing cycle. If we cancel by sarah's birthday, then that's it for AOL. If we stay on, it will cost $15 a month forever and ever. If we let it go to the new lower price, but cancel within 12 months, we have to pay a $25 early cancellation fee.
So I don't know what to do now. :( I was really excited about cutting AOL loose. I wanted to be the one to do it. I hate how AOL takes longer than ever to connect and connects at lower speeds than it used to. I hate how I can't quote emails in the old fashioned way with the angle bracket (but even if I had Snip, I'd still want to use Gmail forever, so should I even care about email quoting anymore?) I hate how AOL has too many bells and whistles, and I hate that it disconnects abruptly and without warning kind of often.
But this new AOL will be only $15 per month, instead of what we were paying, $22 per month. And that's also less than the $18 per month we were going to go with for Snip. And AOL is my first and only ever ISP. I need guidance! Help ol' Beth.
Ah, but one thing I will say is that if you've been using AOL dial-up for a number of years, I suggest that you call and feign canceling, to see if they'll give you a sweet deal. That may also work for the AOL hi-speed, but I don't have that, so I cannot say.
I wonder if beer and soda would taste like crap, if I mixed them together. Probably... :\
