amatyultareAma is lame, and does memes when she should be getting some sleep. She also apparently feels like talking about herself in the third person....^_^
To be honest, considering the rate of my insomnia, I won't be getting to sleep until at least 4 AM anyway, so twenty more minutes shouldn't hurt. On with the meme! (Stolen from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lacontessa for those playing along at home.)
So here are the RULES for it:
1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward for each question.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn’t make sense. NO CHEATING!
1. How are you feeling today?
Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect by The Decemberists I like the song, but I don't know if it's how I feel...hmm.
2. Will you get far in life?
Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers I looked up the lyrics, and, um....o.O
3. How do your friends see you?
Endgame from Chess the musical There are about five different stories going on in this song, so who knows what this is supposed to mean. Possibly that they think I'm obsessive and crazy, possibly that I have mad skillz.
4. Will you get married?
Don't Bring Me Down by Electric Light Orchestra Considering the lyrics...not a good sign
5. What is your best friend's theme song?
In My Life from the Les Miserables soundtrack No! Love triangles bad!
6. What is the story of your life?
Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand Interesting. Apparently I am a hipster without even knowing it?
7. What was high school like?
Drowning By Numbers by Placebo I would believe it more if the lyrics did not suggest the song is actually about cells.
8. How can you get ahead in life?
What To Do by OK Go Not very informative, iPod shuffle....
9. What is the best thing about your friends?
Stop Whispering by Radiohead After reading the lyrics--strength in the face of adversity, maybe?
10. What is in store for this weekend?
Can You Hear Me? by Hungry Lucy Apparently something very loud?
11. To describe your grandparents?
Badge by Cream I never knew any of my grandparents so I have no idea how this might relate
12. How is your life going?
Smile Like You Mean It by The Killers No comment
13. What song will they play at your funeral?
What Color Was The Blood by His Name Is Alive I am so utterly confused
14. How does the world see you?
The Dutchman by Wood's Tea Company Apparently, as a little bit crazy
15. Will you have a happy life?
Wanderin' Around by Carbon Leaf Seeing as I plan to travel, I think this is optimistic
16. What do your friends really think of you?
Crash the Party by OK Go I don't actually think my friends think I'm a party person at all, but whatever...or perhaps this is just about the anti-romance theme? I'm not really unromantic, I swear.
17. Do people secretly lust after you?
Everybody Comes To Rick's by The World/Inferno Friendship Society Um...right.
18. How can I make myself happy?
West v2.0 by Pinback I should go west? *scratches head*
19. What should you do with your life?
Please Please Please by Fiona Apple Okay, this one I more-or-less agree with
20. Will you ever have children?
Shadow Stabbing by Cake So if so, it will scare me--a reasonable expectation, I would say
That was fun...although it did take more than 20 minutes.
Since I feel like I haven't updating this thing substantively in forever: Nutcracker is going well, but will be much better once we have a complete budget and a proposal into the Budget Allocation Committee. Anime Society (although I have stuff to do for it) and WRCU cheer me up (doing nothing but choosing and really listening to music for an hour--why didn't I start DJing for WRCU earlier?). Classes are going fairly well in general; I'm a bit frustrated with the slow pace of my Chinese Economy class but I'm keeping up really well in everything so far. Right now I'm trying to think of topics for my two large-ish papers this semester (10 pages is no longer very daunting to me). Chinese class this semester is very reading and writing heavy, which is probably not good for my long term language development but tends to make me feel much more confident in class. My other big focus is working on 'after Colgate'. Right now I am working on my personal statement. So difficult!
In summary, my life at present is reading and flashcards for classes, budgets and organization for extracurriculars, and controlled panic on the real-life front. Oh, and I can't forget my insomnia, which has gotten quite a bit worse; the problem is that if I don't get to sleep pretty quickly, I get bored and either get up and do something or start planning things in my head--both of which keep me up. At least it's not really affecting my quality of life (yet). But in any case, things are mostly going well.
Now, an attempt at sleep. Later, all!
