Plathological

SOUNDTRACK

So this is the survey where you turn your life into a movie soundtrack. Firstly, I have spent way too much time thinking about this. Secondly, I don’t think I took it as seriously as I could have (though I’m fairly sure I HAVE had sex to all the songs under question 9) since this has to be one of the corniest things I’ve ever done. And I can’t even remember when it was last appropriate for me to even USE the term “corny.” Thirdly, I only put Joy Division in there ONCE, though there was space for so many more Curtis songs – so, basically, every question could have been answered with a JD song, and yet . . .it was not. Please feel free to congratulate me on this account. There are a lot of "staring" songs. Do you know how hard it is to find like 6,000 "staring" songs, all for "different kinds of staring"? Very Difficult. Anyway, here are my answers in all their lameness, subject to change without further notice (they will leave you saying, "PLAY SOME SLAYYYERRRR."
