I saw this meme on

a_deal_with_god's journal a few days ago. Ever since I have been sifting through my CD collection trying to fill it out correctly. Hmm, I wonder if there even IS a "proper" way to fill out a meme? God, I take these things way too seriously.

There are two versions of the following meme. One asks you to just use song titles to answer the questions, the other asks you to use lyrics. I've never done it using titles so I'm gonna take a whack at it cause we've got six student aides in here tonight so there REALLY Isn't anything for me to do.

For this survey, you have to use the song titles of one singer/band to answer all the questions.
I of course am using Sophie B. Hawkins.

1. Are you male or female? Beautiful Girl

2. Describe yourself: The Darkest Childe

3. How do they (they?) feel about you? Open up Your Eyes

4. How do you feel about yourself? Walking on Thin Ice

5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend? The One You Have Not Seen

6. What would you rather be doing? Feelin' Good

7. Describe where you live: Meet me on a Rooftop

8. Describe how you love: We are One Body

9. Share a few words of wisdom: Live and Let Love

I filled out the answers to this meme using lyrics way back in 2003 and posted them in my old journal. I went back and re-read the answers and found not many of them have changed. So here they are. Again.

For this survey, you have to use the lyrics of one singer/band to answer all the questions. So I used Sophie B. Hawkins

1. Are you male or female?

I am a child, I am a whore,
I am the wild woman at your door.
(The Ballad of Sleeping Beauty)

2. Describe yourself:

I'm tired of waking up
I'm sick of rolling off the bus
I want to sleep forever
In the lies i've made
The checks have bouced
But the bills got paid so far...
(No Connection)

3. How do they (they?) feel about you?

You are the darkest childe
You have a sacred duty to perform upon
this blessed earth
You must cradle the thoughts of the lustful lonely
Inside your wicked warm
And you must
Get off

You are the darkest childe
And evil will never stop you
And people will mock you and try
To pop pop pop you inot the marketplace
where you cannot be bought
Understood you will be missed
There will be sadness
For the darkest childe
(The Darkest Childe)

4. How do you feel about yourself?

I hardly recognize myself it's such a strange thing
To find another woman walking in my blue jeans
I've come so far and I've been so long away from home.
I'm like a photograph whose image is still changing
The letter that i never sent to you explaining
All I want is a place for my heart to belong.
(Walking in my Blue Jeans)

5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend?

I walk alone
God speed your love
God take me home
I walk alone
God be my judge
God still my soul
(I Walk Alone)

6. What would you rather be doing?

Mmm my best friend has a little car
She can take off anywhere anytime she wants
And if you ask me mostly
Where would I rather be
I'll tell you up and down the avenue
In the passenger seat
(Mmm My Best Friend)

7. Describe where you live:

New York's the only place I know
I'll take you on a guided tour
Through Central Park where only those
With seven senses feel secure
Then from my rooftop in the clouds
We'll dive into the glowing sea
And when we're falling look around
And tell me what you see.
(Mysteries We Understand)

8. Describe how you love:

No space can fill up the emptiness in my soul when I want you
(Soul Lover)

9. Share a few words of wisdom:

Only love can set us free
Only love can bear the truth
Only love can bring us peace
Only love can save me and you
(Only Love, The Ballad Of Sleeping Beauty)
