["Gotta Be Somebody," Nickelback]
That makes me laugh *really* hard!
what did you say when you were drunk?
I don't mind the weather
["Blacking out the Friction," Death Cab for Cutie]
That must be the time that I was dared to hop on one foot on ice - I strained my rotator cuff when I fell.

I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen

["Sweet Sixteen," Billy Idol]
16, 39, whatever....
what would you like to change about yourself?
I was out on the front line, doin' just fine.
["Don't Let it Be Love," Bowling for Soup]
This song is about self-delusion. It's not the same as my particular delusion, I don't think?
what is your weakness?
How glad the many millions
Of Dirks and Mikes and Williams
Would be
To capture me

No.

This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a seat
["7 Chinese Bros.," REM]
I don't think so, but it's hard to tell.

answer with the last line of the song

what was your last mistake?
believe it or not
we've really got a lot

["100 Years from Now," Huey Lewis & the News]
Complacency and assumptions - yes.

And we're living together in melody, in harmony
In melody, in harmony, oh, in melody

That's a nice thought.
how do you feel today?
Yeah now won't you save me
'Cause I have been through all the rest
Keep it comin, Keep it comin' yeah

["Come On, Come In," Velvet Revolver]
Not really. My head feels dreadful and my to-do list is exceeding all previous records.
what happens in your favorite movie?
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for all the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here

["Here," Rascal Flatts]
Yeah, sorta.
what do you look for in the opposite gender?
Every tree limb overhead just seems to sit and wait.
Until every step you take becomes a twist of fate.

["Watershed," Indigo Girls]
Oooh! I like that.
what do you wanna do tonight?
I can't wait to
Meet Virginia - yeah

["Meet Virginia," Train]
This song makes me giggle. I would love to meet Virginia!
is there anything bothering you right now?
Don't worry, darlin'
No baby, don't you fret
We're livin' in the future
And none of this has happened yet

["Livin' in the Future," Bruce Springsteen]
Just my headache. Which has happened.

Help me walk with you,
to the sky that we see
Shuddering in myself, in myself

Look, Want you want bump double click pump
Ride, ride swamp dump off homie jump off
All these haters on my (huh) won't jump off
When all the streets need is J J J Jump off

["Pump It Up," Joe Budden]
Seriously? If this is where I am, I need some help getting back home!

[she called it "me me me"]
