I was trying to organize a possible quick trip to Portland, but Amtrak's website was flipping out on me, so I called them instead...and got Julie, the Automated Telephone Agent. Who sounded creepily real. It was hard not saying "okay" in response to some things (which would not have worked, as the whole thing was voice-activated), and it felt kind of weird hanging up on her. It. Whatever.
...it was really bizarre.

And now, stolen from mantini:

Put your playlist on shuffle. Answer the questions with each new song that comes up.

What do you think of me, playlist?
The Bridge of Khazad Dum
Singer: Howard Shore
Thoughts: Um. Well...it's sort of triumphant in the beginning, but also meant to be frightening. Maybe my playlist is scared of me?

Will I have a happy life?
Blue Suede Shoes
Singer: Elvis Presley
Thoughts: As long as no one steps on my blue suede shoes, anything can happen and I'll rock on.

What do my friends really think of me?
Nada
Singer: Juanes
Thoughts: They think nothing of me? That's encouraging...the lyrics are a bit existential.

Do people secretly lust after me?
You Don't Have To Cry
Singer: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Thoughts: I don't have to cry because they do? Or because they don't? The rest of the lyrics are talking to an ex, I think...so maybe that's a "not anymore." Haha. I've no idea.

What does [Insert Significant Other's Name] think of me?
Letterbox
Singer: They Might Be Giants
Thoughts: If I had one, he'd think I was a letterbox. Or maybe he'd write me letters.

How can I make myself happy?
Clampdown
Singer: The Clash
Thoughts: By clamping down? Apparently...

What should I do with my life?
Nobody's Sweetheart Now
Singer: Benny Goodman
Thoughts: I should be independent, that's what they say...

Why must life be so full of pain?
Heavy Price Paid
Singer: Halo 2 Soundtrack
Thoughts: Things are too emotionally expensive, that's why. Also, so is gas.

How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
In Fortune's Hand
Singer: Clannad
Thoughts: If I have an affair with fickle Fortune, it'll be a good one? Sweet.

Will I ever have children?
Seeding the Clouds
Singer: Seth Bernard
Thoughts: If I was a boy, that would be extremely and obviously suggestive. As it is, though, I'm not sure what it means.

Will I die happy?
The White Rider
Singer: Howard Shore
Thoughts: ...I'll die in battle? Is that happy? It's a sort of a bitter-happy moment in the movie...

Can you give me some advice?
All I Ask Of You
Singer: Phantom of the Opera, Andrew Lloyd Weber
Thoughts: I thought I was asking you...apparently we're both confused. On the other hand, the lyrics are kinda telling me to go find a Raoul, so who knows.

Do you know where your children are?
Cry Baby Cry
Singer: The Beatles
Thoughts: Hahaha, yes I do. They're in the kitchen, cooking breakfast for the queen...

What do you think happiness is?
Joy To The World (Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog)
Singer: Three Dog Night
Thoughts: Well, ain't that the truth. Sitting around with friends, drinking and eating well and the entire world happy. Oh, and making sweet love to you, of course.

What's your favourite fetish?
Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
Singer: Green Day
Thoughts: ...this one I really can't figure out. I have a fetish for old middle school songs? (Ahaha--one after this was You Rascal You (Django Reinhart) which makes a little more sense...)


That was disturbingly fun, actually. My goodness. Off to dinner now.
