clare_dragonflyStolen from analect. Very silly. Because I like silly things.
Here's how it works (text straight fromanalect's post because I am lazy): To play, first open your music library (iTunes, Media Monkey, iPod, Winamp, or whatever else you use. If you don’t use a music library... well, dang. This probably won’t work so well with Spotify, last.fm, etc., but you could try it). This is your entire, unfiltered library - no special selections, no playlists. Everything.
Make sure your library is on shuffle. Press play and, for each of the numbered plot points on the list that follows, fill in the song that’s playing. Press ‘next’ for each new plot point, but no skipping, and no cheating!
Are you brave enough to expose your guilty musical pleasures to the world... or try to make sense of the soundtrack that emerges?

Right. So, I'm fairly lucky that it did not come up with any of the really random stuff I have, like clips of Alan Rickman's sexy, sexy voice. Let's see if we can make any sense of this.
Well, right off the bat I guess I'm a Canadian Girl Scout with DID. Aren't they Girl Guides in Canada? Then school is cold and my prom date ditches me. I become a lazy protester, but I'm sorry about it. Then my wedding is chaotic and... well, obviously I die. And become a ghost. And then have a baby. Oh, the ghost baby must be the king! That clearly works. Then nobody misses me. Ceremony seems like a pretty good closing song (it's a cover of the New Order/Joy Division song).
True parts: I was a Girl Scout. And my prom date acted weird and distant and dumped me a couple of months later, so that one actually works well. Also, I am lazy. Not sure how I feel about the death part though. I like the part where I get to be Treebeard.
