Random song answers quiz (a.k.a. Magic 8 Ball v2.0)

This is a just-for-fun quiz I got as a tag from my friend Hannah's blog. (http://waiting-rose.blogspot.com/)

By the way, I made up the "Magic 8 Ball v2.0 title" title.

Here are the rules: Put your iTunes or iPod on shuffle. Put the name of each song in as an answer to the following questions: (In my case, I put my playlist from my blog on shuffle.) 

Just as with Mad Libs, when the answers just don't make sense, they're not as fun or funny.

So for some of these I may try up to seven times to get at least a somewhat feasible answer.

Call it cheating if you will, but that's just my way...I like getting things right and progressing, so when I use hints and cheats in puzzle games (like the Myst games), I don't care about the "feeling of satisfaction" someone is supposed get after accomplishing something - I don't really care about that, even if I'd get it, which I doubt I would.

Safety  (well, sometimes)

Attempt #3: Clair De Lune

Attempt #4: Who's Gene Autry (goodness!)

Attempt #5: Step by Step/Forever We Will Sing (unlikely)

Attempt #6: March from Raiders of the Lost Ark (certainly not, although there was one Star Wars freak who played Star Wars music at his wedding)

Attempt #7: A Country Boy Can Survive - Live (that's it, this method is madness!)

Attempt #5: [skip, since this is another I've already gotten] 

You Raise Me Up (depends on what you mean by this)

HOW WILL YOU DIE?

Attempt #2: Weight of the World (might be caused by the answer to the question, right?)

Isa 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
(I sure do get tired when I go running...I can't seem to improve on my 28:00+ time for 3 miles yet...)

Unwell

Well, I'm feeling slightly worse than usual, but several of my family members (my dad and several siblings) aren't feeling so well.  Apparently, being in the same family doesn't mean you have an immunity to a sickness that a family member has.

Gen. 3:19b "for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

"Where a Kid Can Be a Kid" and where you can be a...?

The answer of the title question might be..."yourself"?
This afternoon, my family and I went to Chuck E. Cheese's...and I actually had a pretty good time playing my dad and brothers at basketball, air hockey, and a snowmobile game.
For the basketball games, you just have to find the right angle and power, and then just bounce the ball off the backboard.  During one round, I set a high score of 85 (high score for the machine, as well as for me).   :-)

The life is in the blood...

I went to donate blood today...
Well, I shouldn't give myself all the credit.  My mom thought of the idea and asked me if I wanted to be a blood donor.  I wasn't sure about it, but I considered that since I'd like to save people's lives (although I'd prefer dramatic ways such as stopping a killer from getting them or something like that), this would be an indirect way to do so.  


[1/6/10]
Well, I was told I could take the bandage off my arm after four hours, but after around four hours my arm was still bleeding, so I put it back on, and shortly before midnight I took it off.  The bleeding had stopped by then.  Back to my time in the blood collection center itself:
Getting my finger poked in the beginning hurt a little bit of course, but only for a short time, and nothing was still in me to cause any further discomfort.  (I thought, "Ow", but I don't think my expression changed) 
However, getting my blood drawn was a slightly different story.  Once again, as I was getting "stuck", I doubt my expression changed, but also once again I thought, "Ow."  Only this time another thought also popped into my mind - "That's a big needle!"  My arm ached some of the time the needle was in my arm, but the rest of the time I didn't feel anything and I was just bored, lying there.  
The woman who took the needle out of  my arm said something like, "Taking the tape off will probably hurt the most."  Riiighht.  Unfortunately, since the needle was in my arm, it had to come back out, and that didn't exactly feel the greatest.  But I guess it was worth it if I saved somebody's life.
The snacks (cookies and other stuff) were nice, but not something I'd get poked for just to get.

For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof...

Experiencing the snow?

For a few years, it has snowed here in this part of North Carolina for one day a year, but 2009 was an exception.  However, it snowed last Saturday, so I suppose that instead of having one day of snow a year, we can have one day of snow per winter.  My younger siblings packed snow on the deck steps to create a slide, made a snow jump by making a mound of snow  at the bottom, and slid down on "snow saucer" sleds.
They also tried sliding down the hill (the road) leading to our house.  They had a blast, for most of the time they were outside, but I stayed indoors most of the time.  Doing things in the snow like sledding or whatever might be fun, but what I really think would be fun would be to go drifting in the snow or on the ice in a car.  


Ps. 147:17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
