...You know, I'm pretty sure I've done this meme before at some point, but seeing as how I don't have anything else noteworthy to post this week, why the hell not? Let the symphony begin!

YOUR LIFE AS A MOVIE SOUNDTRACK.
Gather up a whole bunch of music, and click shuffle. The first song goes with the first chapter, and so on and so fourth. Sometimes, the results are quite surprising and creepy!

1. Epic Prologue
Le Tigre - "Deceptacon (DFA Remix)"
(Oh, if only everything afterwards did sound that cool.)

2. Birth
The Bucketheads - "The Bomb! (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind)"
(Okay, my mom's voice doesn't haunt me that much.)

3. Childhood
The Academy Is... - "Black Mamba (Teddybears Remix)"
(I think we may be sending mixed messages here...)

4. First Day of High School
Moby - "Shining"
(Meh. It seems to work alright.)

5. School Bully
Delerium - "You & I (Slow Rise Mix)"
(Okay, unless said bully is one of those semi-hot girls who called me names, this is wildly inaccurate.)

6. The After School Fight
Tweet - "Oops (Oh My)"
(...And now it had BETTER be one of those semi-hot girls, or else this is getting really f***ed up right here.)

7. Graduating High School
Coheed & Cambria - "Wake Up (Acoustic)"
(Damn, this actually does sound like something they'd play at our graduation. On another note, my life so far has involved two songs from the Snakes On A Plane soundtrack. That might say a lot.)

8. New Home
Adam F - "Circles"
(Okay, one thing I have learned about my life via this meme: I have way too many old techno & dance songs still on my iPod.)

9. Creepy Nighbors
Way Out West - "Pulse of Life"
(Ditto above.)

10. Flashbacks
P.O.D. - "School of Hard Knocks"
(Sadly, this is a pretty damn accurate description of me looking back at my junior high/high school days.)

11. Mental Breakdown
Ministry - "Stigmata"
(Oooh, a little industrial for my freak-outs! Nice!)

12. Meeting An Old Friend
Seal - "Crazy (William Orbit Mix)"
(Okay, once again, please let this involve a girl. Seriously, I beg you.)

13. Falling Asleep/Having a Nightmare
LL Cool J - "I Can't Live Without My Radio"
(Umm...Wha???)

14. A New Enemy
Killing Joke - "Requiem"
(Yeah, this truly sets the stage for a fierce enemy!...)

15. Final Battle
De La Soul - "Me, Myself and I"
(...And this totally doesn't. Nonetheless, having a schizophrenic version of myself duke it out with some bizarro manifestation of my fears/flaws/etc. sounds fairly accurate.)

16. Death of Enemy
Duran Duran - "Planet Earth"
(Okay, why did my iPod suddenly decide to go into '80s mode all of a sudden? Meh, might work.)

17. First Day of New Job
Justice - "D.A.N.C.E."
(Considering that I'm desperately looking for a job at the moment, this will be how I feel when I get one...)

18. Starting College
The Raveonettes - "Twilight"
(Damn, not only the exact kind of music I listened to in my first years of college, but one by a band who debuted around the same time. Bravo!)

19. Falling In Love
Infusion - "Girls Can Be Cruel (Infusion Sq'Ed Mix)"
(Oh, ha-de-freakin-ha, iPod.)

20. Graduating College
Arctic Monkeys - "When The Sun Goes Down"
(Once again, it actually nails the graduation part.)

21. Facing Your Demons
Hive - "Ultrasonic Sound"
(An action song from The Matrix? Finally, at least ONE epic battle on this list gets an appropriate song!)

22. Growing Old
Tricky - "Overcome"
(Og god, I hope that becomes appropriate. At least in title.)

23. Your Funeral
Joy Division - "Atmosphere"
(NAILED IT. Okay, I would have preferred "Bohemian Rhapsody" or a Violator song to end my life, but dead-on funeral song!)


...So what did I learn from all of this? Apparently, that when I worked at my university's radio station & jammed my iPod full of anything in the CD library I could get my hands on, it actually ended up affecting my life. XD
