Breathe...My Life In iTunes

I borrowed this from Barry’s live journal. If you haven’t looked at my Agent Blog List lately, you’ll find I’ve done quite a bit of work on it. Hopefully, you’ll find a link that is beneficial to you.  I also just found an amazing teen age writer Steph Bowe through a series of links.  Check her out!  She's agented and holding an awesome contest...


My Life in iTunes:
RULES:
1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.
4. Tag 15 friends (Consider yourself tagged if you read this post. Let me know in the comments so I can come read your iTunes Life.)
5. Everyone tagged has to do the same thing. (Unless you don’t want to.)
6. Have Fun!

1. IF SOMEONE SAYS 'ARE YOU OKAY' YOU SAY?
    Tell Me Why by Taylor Swift (I’d like to know why you’re asking. Do I look bad?)

2. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF
    Take Me There by Plain White T’s (I guess this has something to do with my need to go  here…       anywhere. Then I can take notes for future scenes.)

3. WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
     Be Without You by Mary J. Blige (Yep, I like to be alone. I write better that way.)

4. HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
    You and Me by Plain White T’s (I’m talking about being alone with my main characters.)

5. WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?
     Life in Technicolor by Coldplay (I was thinking Life in Print would be my life purpose.)

6. WHAT'S YOUR MOTTO?
     Should’ve Been A Cowboy by Toby Keith (Yep, that’s me!)

7. WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
     A Little Too Late by White Trash With Money (They must be talking about how long it takes me to reply to a phone call…Try email, I have a computer attached to my hand.)

8. WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
     Invisibly Shaken by Rodney Atkins (At least they haven't said anything to me.)

9. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
    Where You Are by Rascal Flatts (I’m talking about you, because I've been wondering.)

10.WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
      The Way I Loved You by Taylor Swift (I’m loyal to my friends, through good bad or ugly times.)

11.WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
      Rehab by Rihanna (Ummm…)

12.WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
     Death And All His Friends by Coldplay (Funny…I used to tell my students my life goal was to have lots of people at my funeral.)

13.WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
     Help Me Remember by Rascal Flatts (That must be because I really want them to play some hard rock…)

14.WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
     Cleaning This Gun by Rodney Atkins (Note my hobbies to all teenage boys who are interested in my teenage daughter.)

15.WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
     Making a Memory by Plain White T’s (Often what we want the most is what we fear the most…success.)

16.WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
     Wasted by Carrie Underwood (Must be talking about paper and ink in my printer.)

17.WHAT DO YOU WANT RIGHT NOW?
     Where Is The Love by Celine Dion (Love from publishers, agents, etc…?)

18.WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
      I Wish It Was You by Trace Adkins (I wish my writing friends success and my other friends success of all sorts.)

19.WHAT WILL YOU POST THIS AS?
     Breathe by Taylor Swift (After all this is my LIFE in iTunes and one must Breathe.)

Does music inspire you? Do you listen to music as you write? Do you use music to unwind? I LOVE to play loud music with the windows open on a nice day. Do you?

I hope you had a great weekend and are ready to hit the paper running tomorrow.

  1. Funny post! I love the extra comments you added. Death and All His Friends and Cleaning This Gun especially made me laugh. I wish I used music to inspire me, but I haven't taken the time to really listen to what's out there since I had kids, though I was really into music in high school and college.

  2. Susan--You can listen to it when you walk Piper. You know me well enough to know those two responses are very true. :) I'm glad you are back and I enjoyed the links on your post today.

  3. This is a fun post! I've done a similar one, but different questions. I love seeing what songs come up on other people's ipods!
    I put music on when I drive (and sing along), clean, exercise, and lots of other stuff, but never when I write. I need it quiet (well, fairly quiet - I have three kids and two dogs).

  9. Falen--I buy most of my CDs and then put them on my computer and iPod. I've bought a few individual songs on iTunes, but then I end up buying the CD at a shop...

    Thanks for stopping in today. :)

  10. Love the new pic over here .. that gator is cool! And, your script choices remind me of my own blogging efforts :)

    I enjoy music but can't listen while I'm writing. For that, I need not to be distracted. What a lot of work you've put into this very fun list - very nice.

    Yes, I've been paying attention to how you do your posts in a variety of fonts and colors...It really adds something. :)

  14. P.J.--Thanks for stopping in and becoming a follower. :) You should definately charge up that iPod! Spring is here and it's time to get out and enjoy the weather...

    I'm glad you like the photo. :) It was one big croc!

    I just hope you enjoy what I write...I'm not a master like some of the people on my blog roll.

  15. This experiment always gets me. Hey, Life In Technicolor... I'd take that.

    I'd die without my iPod. I'd much rather have an iPod than a cell phone. It's a good thing I don't own a cell phone.
