day 16: yes, i’ve stooped to a meme. YOU try to post every day.
C’mon people! Rally ’round! Add your own! Feign excitement! [thanks to hula 70 for this]
if your life were a soundtrack, what would the music be?
here’s how it works:
- open your music library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod)

- press play
- for every question, type the song that’s playing
