I stumbled onto this game (or is it a meme??) and I wanted to play so here it is… I found it at http://jillbe.blogspot.com (but I have read/heard that others are playing too)
If your life was a film, what would the soundtrack be?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library. (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
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. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.
7. When you're finished, tag some other people to do it!
Opening Credits: “The Long and Winding Road,” The Beatles
(I swear I didn't make that the first song or anything...)
Waking Up: Hanging by a Moment, Lifehouse
(Waking up I often feel like hanging something--usually me!)
First Day At School: Coming Up, Paul McCartney
(I don't actually recognize this song so I can't really comment)
Falling In Love: Paradise By the Dashboard Light, Meatloaf
(Another one with which I was not totally familiar so not a lot of commentary available)
Fight Song: You Belong in the Sun, Jo Dee Messina
(Damn, why are there all these songs on my computer that I don’t actually know?? I like the idea of this title being a fight song though. I am a firm believer that sunshine is good for one’s mental well being soooo…)
Breaking Up: Fields of Gold, Sting
(Yet another one about which I cannot comment. What a bummer!)
Prom: Can’t Stand Losing You, Sting
(And why does it go to the same artist twice? I admit, I have this album ripped for the two Sting/Police songs I know—Message in a Bottle and Every Breath You Take…)
Life: Train to Sanity, Stoney LaRue
(Ein't that the truth... Maybe life is one long train to sanity… And, for those of you who don’t know Stoney (and I am sure most of you don’t), go check him out. Good ol’ red dirt country music (red dirt country means it is a good mix of rock’n’roll, folk, country, blue grass, all the good stuff, created on the red dirt of Oklahoma)… You just might like him…)
Making babies: Bust’a’Move, Young MC
(how appropriate!!)
Mental Breakdown: Somebody’s Hero, Jamie O’Neal
(this one doesn't really fit other than that I am confident I will inherit the Logan Women tradition of going a little crazy around 40 and this song is about the phases in a woman's life)
Driving: Cool Thing, Rascal Flatts
(Don’t know this one either)
Flashback: If I Ever Get Back to Oklahoma, Jason Boland and the Stragglers
(Now that would be my most favorite flashback... Every time I hear that song I flashback to the days of Joe's, OSU, Garrett and Eric's apartment, Soprano's nights at Guys, avoiding the strip, all the fun that was life in Stillwater. Jason Boland and the Stragglers is another Red Dirt Band you should check out!!)
Getting back together: We Can Work it Out, The Beatles
(I swear on a stack of Bibles these were what came next on shuffle, I didn't cheat)
Wedding: I Feel Fine, The Beatles
(I certainly felt fine at my wedding!)
Birth of Child: Better Things to Do, Terri Clark
(Now that's just wrong. And kind of hits a nerve with me as lately I feel like whenever I talk about the eventual children I will have everyone has a smart alec comment about what a crappy pregnant lady I will be or how much being a mother will be so much harder than I think. You think I don't know it will be hard? So what! If my mom could do it, so can I. And there won't be better things to do than raise my children... Sorry to get on the soap box there for a minute!)
Final Battle: Know your Enemy, Rage Against the Machine
(Appropriate again)
Death Scene: Dirty White Boy, Foreigner
(Hmmmm… I am not sure how to react to that one…)
Funeral Song: I want to Hold Your Hand, The Beatles
(I think my media player is obsessed with the Beatles)
End Credits: Kerosene, Miranda Lambert
(Kind of funny ending song! I wish I had the gall she has to just soak in kerosene the episodes in my life that hurt me!!)
So go ahead and play the game! Leave me a comment with a link to your soundtrack so I can check it out! I look forward to hearing about them!

what would possibly drive someone to say you don't know how hard it would be to be pregnant or be a mom? i think that's crazy. yes, it's hard, but i think you'd be a really good mom. :)
Thank you for the support Lara!
No One sends me Memes but I did this one anyway because I like music, and I was listening to my mp3 player/phone anyway.

Thanks!
As for being a parent, I work in a non-profit agency and my particular program is for teen parents. Considering that some of these 16 year old single girls (at that age I can't call them women, not a sexist thing) can be taught to be good parents. I am optimistic that anyone who actually wants to be a good parent should have no trouble with that goal. Especially if they are willing to admit that no one can raise a child alone and ask questions when your unsure. We have pretty good instincts built in anyway. Just from talking to you today, and the fact that your in grad school, you'll be fine when you decide to have children.
Later!
