Facing the Music

[vovat]

According to this thing that countblastula and zimbra1006 did, I look like these people.





Okay, John Mayer was bad enough, but DAKOTA FANNING? Man, I hate her and her being the only female child star in Hollywood. Some of the others aren't so bad, but do I really look that much like a girl?


bethje already made a post about the radio station we heard yesterday on the way to Monster-Mania, but I feel I should also point out that they also played an XTC song. Specifically, it was "Me And The Wind," which I wouldn't have expected to hear on the radio. When we came back to the car after the convention, though, the station was playing some crappy reggae music.

Speaking of songs, we went to Boston Market on Friday, and they played "What You Said," which appeared on Laura Cantrell's most recent album. It was so quiet that I couldn't really tell if it was her singing, but since that song is apparently a cover, it probably wasn't. It sounded like her version was quite faithful to the original, though.

And while I'm on the subject of covers, one of the songs they played between panels at the convention was a really lousy version of "How Soon Is Now?", sung by some unnecessarily angry guy. I don't know who it was, but that song is supposed to be angsty, not angry. {g}

I had a dream last night where I was smoking, and I think both cigarettes and pipes were involved. I've had dreams like that in the past, too. I can't recall whether I've actually smoked in the dreams, though, or just remembered having done it in the past. It seems that I generally have trouble smelling or tasting things in dreams, though. I can remember having dreams where I ate something, and it turned out to be totally flavorless. There was another part of the same dream (or possibly a different dream from the same night) that involved Beth wanting to go to South Carolina, but I don't remember anything else about that one.


little_octagon did this one, and I followed suit:

How PA are you? Your Result: You're definitely from PA!! You were most likely born and raised in PA. You love hoagies and soft pretzels and have seen a horse and buggy. Congratulations for having lived in "The Keystone State".
Have you ever even been to PA??
How PA are you?

Then I found this one:

You Are 34% New Jersey!

You've got a little Jersey in you. Not too bad, however you could have done a lot better. Based on this score, you may not actually be from New Jersey. You're missing out!

How New Jersey Are You?

If taking the ferry back from the Statue of Liberty counts, I actually HAVE been to New York all of those ways mentioned in Question 32.

I'm pretty sure they only do those things on the angle of your head in the picture, because I hate to break it to you, but you don't look like a pre-pubescent girl. At all. In fact, you don't look like any of those celebrities.

I can remember having dreams where I ate something, and it turned out to be totally flavorless.

That's because of all the smoking you were doing beforehand :D

But tobacco must taste like something, right? At least, that's the impression I've always gotten. I can't say I've ever tried it, or ever intend to.

[loz]

Yes, but it also deadens your ability to taste anything else. You may have stopped smoking, but for a while you'll still be tasteless.

hahah, man, I'm just thinkin' of the Angry How Soon Is Now.

I'm the son, and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!

The lower percentage picture matches look closer than the higher percentage matches. You still look way different than you did in college without facial hair incidentally.

Maybe the interpretation of this is that You're SMOKIN', Baby!

The PA quiz is totally skewed toward Philly people-- although I still scored "definitely from" somehow. I think guessing. And I knew I think 3 answers.

I actually have facial hair now, although I hadn't for some time before that. It's a moustache and a beard, though. I had just a moustache throughout most of my college years, and I don't know that it worked for me. It was just that both Weird Al and L. Frank Baum had moustaches, so I thought I should have one as well. {g}

So you're suggesting that my subconscious works through plays on words? {g}

Yeah, and I don't remember most of what was on the NJ quiz, but I think it might have been skewed toward the northern part of the state. Most states are a lot more diverse than people give them credit for. Hey, I wouldn't be TOO surprised to learn that Providence and Pawtucket are totally different.

Actually, a lot of people's subconsciouses work though plays on words, and a lot of dream interpretation is based on that, but as for YOUR subconscious, even more likely!
