Everyone is doing it, so…

Posted by jackie blue on June 8th, 2006

To procrastinate working (I am SWAMPED) I did that iPod meme going around. You know, the one where you put it on shuffle, and hit the next song for each question. I confess I cheated only slightly in that I skipped over all the Harry Potter audio chapters and the Pimsleur French lessons. Since those ARE NOT SONGS, it isn’t really cheating, right? Anyway, some of these questions are so redundant, but it was fun:

They are all dead so I guess that’s true too

How is my life going?
Bring On The Ending (Matt Pond PA)
Yikes!!!

What song will they play at my funeral?

I never really played that much

How does the world see me?
Fascination (Human League)

Will I have a happy life?
Making Plans For Nigel (Nouvelle Vague)

What do my friends really think of me?
Jumping Someone Else’s Train (The Cure)

Do people secretly lust after me?

Uh, oh

Ewww!

I kid you NOT

So that’s it, the iPod never lies.

I might even have knitting to show tomorrow.

I had to do this, if for Number 7 alone

Ten Top Trivia Tips about Jackie!

  1. Czar Paul I banished Jackie to Siberia for marching out of step!
  2. Plato believed that the souls of melancholy people would be reincarnated into Jackie.
  3. Over half of Americans are officially Jackie!
  4. An average beaver can cut down Jackie every year.
  5. You share your birthday with Jackie.
  6. If you toss Jackie 10000 times, she will not land heads 5000 times, but more like 4950, because her head weighs more and thus ends up on the bottom.

  9. New Zealand was the first place to allow Jackie to vote!
  10. It takes more than 500 peanuts to make Jackie.
