Q: "If a movie were made of your life, what would the soundtrack be?"
How to find out:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc.) or mp3 player.
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question press the next button.
6. Include part of the lyrics.
And here are my results:

...this is the most fucked-up soundtrack ever.

*In 2003, I started trying to make some techno/ambient/wtf music. I did four tracks; the "artist name" was to be "LARP": Live-Action Role-Playing. The theory being that I'm not actually a musician, and was merely pretending to be one. After producing a song, I would give it a name related to one of my RPG experiences; the name for this one came from an Alternity campaign I ran. This song, being #4 of 4, was the most technically sophisticated of the bunch. Maybe I can do better with the latest version of FL Studio. And maybe not.
I even have an album cover in mind. How sad is that?

The songs which actually fit their categories fit very well, but the ones which don't are--if you'll pardon me for saying it this way--fucking wrong. Particularly the Mary Bell opening theme. Jesus.
But considering how screwed up my life is, it makes some sort of sense. That's the scary part.
