For lack of a better imagination

Not that Duncan doesn't have a very fertile imagination but yes I am copying one of Duncan's posts. Why? Because I don't want to do my work and I can't think of anything original to write and this will satisfy all who complain I don't write often enough. So there!

Go to your music player, set it to shuffle/random, and answer the following questions with the title of the FIRST song that you skip to each time. No cheating!

If you reached the top of Mount Everest, you would scream:
"Gimme a pigfoot (and a bottle of beer)", classic blues song by Bessie Smith...I think in reality I would settle for just the beer. And one for my sherpa.

The next time you stand up in front of a group of people, you'll say:
"Wand'rin Star" by Lee Marvin....That's me especially now since I will be leaving for Chile soon to live for 6 months! This song is from a great musical also starring Clint Eastwood of Dirty Harry fame...yes he can sing...sort of. Well its amusing and my dad actually likes and stayed awake during this movie and thats saying a lot.

Your favorite thing to say when drunk is:
"Mama said" by the Shirelles...hahah!! If I had listened to what Mama said I wouldn't be drunk =P.

Your message to the world:
"Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac....lame...

Your deepest secret:
"Soul Kitchen" by the Doors...I like soul food? Now you know.

Your innermost desire:
"Loving you" by Elvis Presley...doesn't everyone want to be loved?

Your oldest memory makes you think:
"Change your mind" by The Killers...must not be a good memory.

Somewhere in your wedding vows, you'll include:
"Give me one reason" by Tracy Chapman. I think I am going to need more than 1 reason.

On your deathbed, you'll whisper:
"Tempus Vernum" by Enya. Since when do I know Latin?

Your friends say behind your back:
"Lola" by the Kinks...I do NOT talk like a man! I resent the implication.

You say behind your friends' back:
"Moving to the Ghetto" Wojciech Kilar (The Pianist soundtrack)...all the way to Compton, Eamonn.

Your opinion of LiveJournal:
"All my love" Led Zeppelin...got lots of friends over there even though eblogger is wayyyyy cooler.

When you wake up in the morning, you mutter:
"Fotografia" by Juanes. Because dreaming in Spanish is much sexier. =)

If you found yourself lost on a desert island, you'd yell:
"Across the Universe" by The Beatles, which includes the lyric "nothing's gonna change my world" a statement very appropriate to the desert island scenario.

Right now, your feelings are:
"Wild as the Wind" by Nina Simone. Although she's talking about love (when is ol' Nina not talking bout love?), I think it applies to my feelings right now as I try to figure out stuff. See that hows wild it is, can even pin down what the "stuff" is.

What's your excuse for reposting this meme?:
"I don't know enough about you" by Peggy Lee....yes so now its your turn to answer this meme! Otherwise we will remain mere acquaintences and that would be a shame.

Your life's soundtrack:
"But I might die tonight" by Cat Stevens....sounds kinda morbid but really about finding your own way and not settling for just anything.

P.S. I had to leave out some of my classical music songs because reading that Your friends say behind your back: Suite #1 in G, BWV 1007, Prelude by Bach would make you guys sound like weirdos.

OH AND I DO HAVE GOOD NEWS:
Besides Jules coming to visit in one week, I was accepted to be a volunteer with the Voluntarious de la Esperanza organization that oversees a bunch of orphanages and community centers in Chile. Looks like I will be living down Chilean way for 6 months. Hasta luego mis amigos y escribame un comentario.
