the fun bulgarian game

dear friends,

lately i have been almost bored enough to succumb to those facebook memes. btw, what the hell is a meme? but, i refuse to become a statistic. i also am trying not to abandon old technology for new. as god as my witness, i shall not twitter.

therefore, in the spirt of compromise and procrastination i present to you my 'ipod shuffle= sound track of my life' results right here on this BLOG:

This is the soundtrack of my life, based on the following rules:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)2. Put it on shuffle3. Press play4. For every question, type the song that's playing5. When you go to a new question, press the next button6. Don't lie.7. Repost!

the most hilarious thing to me is that this is basically a version of what the girls of the little yellow house used to refer to as "the fun bulgarian game" c. 2000-2003. why bulgarian? i cannot recall. but basically, we'd sit around my room on my bunk bed (oh yeah bottom was futon) listening to my 5-cd changer on shuffle and say ok... the next song is about.... [fill in boy of the moment for girl in question]. it was basically like music plus MASH. and, what wasn't to love about that?

sometimes i still play it on airplanes,
