The MP3 Game

[Chrille]

Perhaps this has come by here before because I remember it vaguely. But I couldn't find anything on it at least. Anyway, a friend just introduced me to this so let's play this silly little game with MP3s!

First of all, load your entire MP3 archive in your favourite mp3-player. Activate the shuffle-function and answer these questions by just clicking the "next" button, see which song pops up and put it by that question. It would be easy to cheat by skipping tracks until you get one you like, but it wouldn't be as much fun


Here are the questions!:
----------------------------

Where will i go today?


How am I feeling today?


Will I get far in life?


How do my friends see me?


When will I get Married?


What's my theme song?


What is the story of my life?


What am I like in bed?


How can I get ahead in life?


What is my best feature?


How is today going to be?


What is in store for this weekend?


What is my life like at the moment?


What song describes my secrets?


What is my current lover like?


What song will they play at my funeral?


How does the world see me?


Will I have a happy life?


What do my friends really think of me?


Do people secretly lust after me?
