The following “questionnaire” was being circulated somewhere on the Internet(s). Evidently, you were supposed to put your mp3 player on random and then whatever song popped up was the answer to each sequential question. I didn’t read the instructions and immediately set about trying to think up songs that would work personally for each question (i.e. I unknowingly cheated). Maybe my method is not as funny or “ironic” but it is certainly more revealing if you try and think up truthful “answers in song” to these questions (or, they will not make sense to anyone but yourself and therefore you really have wasted time).

Answers by Artist - Song

1. What is missing from my life?

2. Will I find love?

3. Will I become rich?

4. Does someone have a crush on me?

5. What is my favorite sexual position?

6. Am I good looking?

7. What makes me the most happy?

8. What is my biggest regret?

9. Who do I love?

10. What scares me?

11. Why do I get up in the morning?

12. Do people like me?

13. How will I die?

14. Do I act my age?

15. What type of tattoo should I get?

16. What is my spirit animal?

17. Do I like pain?

18. Is there anyone else like me out there?

19. Do I love to party?

20. Where should I move to?

21. Am I still in the closet?

22. Will I ever be president?

23. What is fun for me?

24. Will I ever learn to fly?

25. What is my super power?

26. What can I do to move on?

27. Is (s)he a good choice for me?

28. Will I be happy in life?

29. What is the theme of my style?

30. What is the Meaning of life?

The quantity of questions you chose to answer is directly related to how much actual time you waste.

Agreed. And aren't many of these questions properly answered with either a "yes" or "no?"

Better hope your iPod has these songs:

Yes! Yes! Yes - NRBQ
Maybe Baby - Buddy Holly
No, No, No - Deep Purple

I suggested not to do the randomizing and to answer questions with a song (y'know with relevant lyrics and whatnot -- an opportunity to be creative -- whose life is all 'yes' or 'no').

I am afraid that Obners don't like to be creative unless it involves the formation of new cuss words or porn.
