It’s been almost two full months since my last post; by far my longest lapse since starting this blog. In celebration of my glorious return, I have decided to post something completely shallow and irrelevant, yet mildly entertaining. I have always loved music and have often wondered what the soundtrack to my life would sound like if for some crazy reason someone decided to make a movie out of it. I could have spent hours poring though my music collection weighing out my options, but just couldn’t find the time (and quite honestly, the desire) to bother doing it. Lo and behold, my friend Alicia posted this on her blog a while back and I just had to take the easy road and post it again here. Nothing I love more than someone else doing all the heavy lifting for me.
If you’re in to this kind of thing, I wholly recommend giving this one a shot. Some of the results are actually strikingly appropriate- others, not so much. Enjoy.
If my life was a movie, what would my soundtrack be?
So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your music library
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.
