Directions: Put your music on shuffle and answer these questions.  When finished tag 5 followers, I was tagged by the lovely @jaimistoryteller

1. The first song describes how you will die: “When You Were Young” by The Killers… well that doesn’t bode well. Good thing I’m already 37

2. The second song describes your love life: “Dear Theodosia” from Hamilton… well I don’t have kids, so this makes me a little sad. But, I do put a lot of time and love in my friends (who are mostly  younger than me), so we’ll say it counts as that. 

3. The third song will describe your wedding: “Spirit in The Sky” by Norman Greenbaum… I eloped?  So I have no idea.

4. Add “in my pants”  to the title: “Alejandro” by Lady Gaga.. Alejandro in my pants…. hehehe

5. The fifth song will be played at your funeral: “Laura Palmer” by Bastille.. That fits, and I like it, so I can do that.

6. The sixth song is the theme song: “Hurricane” from Hamilton ( I swear it’s on shuffle)…. “I wrote my way out” Yeah, okay. That fits 🙂

7. The seventh song will be played when you think about someone you love: “A Thousand Years” by John Barrowman…. bwhahahah again, not intentional, but yes.

8: Add “with a shovel and a screwdriver” to the eighth song: “Our Last Summer” from Mamma Mia. Our Last Summer with a shovel and a screwdriver sounds like hitting a LOT of bars.

9. The ninth song will describe your week: “I Have a Dream” from Mamma Mia.. sure, that works. Just replace writing with singing.

10. The tenth song will be played when you miss someone:  “Farewell and Goodnight” by The Smashing Pumpkins… alright.

I don’t know why out of almost 800 songs it went with 2 Hamilton and 2 Mamma Mia, but whatever. (I’m still laughing about the love song though)

Fave Quote:

Yeah, well, I’ve got a dream too. But it’s about singing and dancing and making people happy. That’s the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with.
