In leiu of bitching about how miserable I am once again, because it's SUMMER ( although, please note I went to see Master P on Friday for a check-in and for the third summer in a row since I've had the man as my physician, complained to him about this reverse SAD thing. Surprisingly, he actually seemed to acknowledge it as a legitimate thing-- seems he has another patient who's similarly miserable-- and offered to tinker with my meds. I declined simply on the basis of "what's to be done that won't be miserably undone later?", to which he had to concede. On the upside, I don't have to feel guilty about all those donuts.).....

I offer you a funny questionnaire that was offered to me last week. The premise is that you only use song lyrics to answer. It's not as easy as it seems, but the results are always entertaining. And aren't I here to entertain, enlighten, annoy? Why yes. So let us proceed:

1.) Beverage?
Black, black coffee in bed....( "Black Coffee In Bed", Squeeze)

2.)Weather?
It's like a heatwave, burnin' in my heart....( "Heatwave", Martha and the Vandellas)

3.)What happened last night?
Sleep/Sleep tonight/And may your dreams be realized. ("MLK", U2)

4.)What do you do?
See I'm all about them words/ Over numbers, unencumbered numbered/Words/Hundreds of pages pages pages full of words.... ( "You and I Both ", Jason Mraz)

5.) What are you wearing?
Who'll notice that I'm not around?/ I could hide out under there/ I just made you say 'underwear' "... ("Pinch Me", The Barenaked Ladies)

6.) Today?
Got up, got out of bed/Dragged a comb across my head/ Found my way downstairs and drank a cup/ And looking up, I noticed I was late/ Grabbed my coat and found my hat/ Made the bus in seconds flat/ Found my way upstairs and had a smoke/ And somebody spoke and I went into a dream....ah...... ("A Day In The Life", The Beatles)

7.) Relationship status?
Look for the girl with the broken smile/And ask her if she wants to stay awhile/And she will be loved/And she will be loved. ("She Will Be Loved", Maroon 5)

8.) Words for your ex?
I'm going home/gonna load my shot gun/Wait by the door and light a cigarette/He wants a fight/Well, now he's got one/ He aint seen me crazy yet....I'm gonna show him what little girls are made of/Gunpowder and lead. ("Gunpowder and Lead", Miranda Lambert)

9.) Where are you from?
Well, I'm from/ a map dot/ a stop sign on a black top/ I took the first bus I could hop from there/ Now all of this glitter is getting dark/There's concrete growing in the city park...("Where the Green Grass Grows", Tim McGraw)

10.) Describe yourself?
She was a long cool woman in a black dress....( "Long Cool Woman", The Hollies)

11.) Drugs?
The more I drink, the more I drink/I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancing machine/I get loud/I get proud/And it gets worse/ If I have one, I'll have thirteen/Oh, there aint no in between/The more I drink.....the more I drink! ( "The More I Drink", Blake Shelton)

12.) Pets?
Black cat sittin on a front porch fence/Aint got enough dough to pay the rent/He's flat broke but he don't care/He'll strut right by with his tail in the air! ("Stray Cat Strut", The Stray Cats)

13.) What do you drive?
She's my little deuce coupe/You don't know what I got.... ("Lil' Deuce Coupe", The Beach Boys)
