I am not Sarah Connor, computer...

Right, so there's a meme that's going around for a while (weeks? months?) about putting your iTunes/Winamp/various media player on random and seeing what answers you get. And I thought, "Why not? It might be fun? And you'd only be slightly behind every other person on the internet."



1. How does the world see you?
Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli - Time to Say Goodbye

Thanks a lot, Winamp. I can already see that this is going to do wonders for my self-esteem.


2. Will I have a happy life?
Marco Beltrami - T3 (from The Terminator 3)

So I'll be fighting cyborgs bent on the destruction of humanity? And here I thought having a library degree would lead to an uneventful life.


3. What do my friends think of me?
Maroon 5 - Harder To Breathe

Uh, okay. I really don't want to think too hard about this one.


4. Do people secretly lust after me?
Naoki Satou - The Two Kamui, The Two Sacred Swords

Right. I should probably just hie myself over to Japan and see if there's anyone in the process of destroying/saving Tokyo Tower who might be interested in a date. I think, she said, as she ignored whatever innuendo one might make from the usage of the word "swords" in a question about lust.


5. How can I make myself happy?
Muse - Time is Running Out

Enough with the apocalypse talk. Evidently I'm doomed to death and destruction.


6. What should I do with my life?
New Order - True Faith (Twelfth's Morning Sun Remix Edit)

Become a religious luminary? Wow, I just have no shot at a normal life.


7. Will I ever have children?
Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place in the Country

Well, at least my kids will have somewhere nice to play, even if the rest of the world is going to hell.


8. What is some good advice for me?
Dandy Warhols - Big Indian

Yeah. Thanks. I'll get right on that. As soon as I figure out whatever that means.


9. How will I be remembered?
Craig Armstrong - Weather Storm

As something a meteorologist would discuss? A force of nature? Because that's the closest this meme has come to a compliment.


10. What's my signature dancing song?
Patti Page - Long, Long Ago

Well, it's a sad song of reminiscence and longing for times past, so let's kick up our heels as we remember the good days. Without the killer cyborgs.


11. What's my current theme song?
Depeche Mode - Behind the Wheel/Route 66

Now that's more like it. Driving down the highway, wind in my hair, as I search for the last remnants of humanity.


12. What do others think is my theme song?
Yami No Matsuei - MouShuu -- KyouOshiki Yabou

Which theria.net informs me translates to "Deeply Rooted Delusion -- Insanity Driven Ambition." Geniuses are so misunderstood.


13. What shall they play at my funeral?
Anastacia - Left Outside Alone

And we're back to the lonely, desolate existence that I seemed doomed to live. Well, at least the meme's been consistent in its predictions.


14. What type of men do I like?
Frank Sinatra - Boys' Night Out

Okay, first, that's eerily suitable, Winamp. Second, I like men who go out and leave me at home alone? Huh. That's probably true.


15. How's my love life?
Brad Fiedel - Main Theme (from Terminator II)

I have thousands of songs on my computer, almost all of which are not related to movies with cyborgs, and this is what I get. Gah. I give up.


In conclusion, the earth is toast, I am doomed, and apparently, my computer wants me to know about the new electronic overlords before it's too late. Thanks, computer. I'll see what I can do.
