Lyrically inclined
The following is a very cool survey that I came across while sifting through journal entries at my old domain (the original entry was posted on February 3, 2004). Questions were to be answered in lyrics, and since I used to refer to myself as Chelso the Music Ho (seriously), you KNOW I had a ton of fun with this one. I wanted to fill it out again so I could post an updated version on this site, but as it turns out, almost nothing at all has changed:
1. DESCRIBE HOW YOU LOOK: "My ass is like...wo, my body's like...wo." - Mya
2. TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF: "squint your eyes and look closer, I'm not between you and your ambition. I am a poster girl with no poster. I am 32 flavors and then some." - Ani Difranco
3. IF YOU COULD SAY ONE THING TO THE PERSON YOU LIKE WHAT WOULD IT BE?: This is a hard one. Sometimes it's: "You'll remember me like a melody, yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you, and my big secret - gonna win you over, slow like honey, heavy with mood" - Fiona Apple
Other times it's: "Loving you is a like a song I replay, every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day, and every chorus was written for us to recite, every beautiful melody of devotion every night" - Lauryn Hill.
And unfortunately, sometimes it's even: "I'll throw my heart out, keep my head up, I cannot fuck up cuz I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that) I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only bring on the rain" - Nelly Furtado
4. IF YOU COULD SAY ONE THING TO YOUR WORST ENEMY WHAT WOULD IT BE?: "you'll never live this life that I live. I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night. You'll never hear the message I give, you'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight. But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights, the shades and shadows undulate in my perception. My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights. I realize what I am now too smart to mention to you." - Fiona Apple.
5. WHERE WOULD YOU GO TO VACATION?: "and I wish we could run, to the sun, and never come back" - N.E.R.D.
6. HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW?: "A decade ago I never thought I would be, at twenty three, On the verge of spontaneous combustion woe-is-me. But I guess that it comes With the territory, an ominous landscape of never ending calamity, I need you to hear, I need you to see, that I have had all I can take and exploding seems like a definite possibility to me" - Incubus
7. WOULD YOU EVER HAVE A ONE NIGHT STAND?: "I could sting like a bee, careful how you treat me, baby I don't think l'll accept your sorry invitation" - Natalie Imbruglia
--Don't even e-mail me about this one, okay? I said ALMOST nothing has changed!
8. HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR WEEKENDS?: "chillin in the park, just waiting for the sun to go down." - a lighter shade of brown.
9. DO YOU HAVE A BOY/GIRL FRIEND?: "Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills cuz I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up, I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold, hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love" - Fiona Apple
10. ANY WORDS OF ADVICE?: "Just breathe" – Telepopmusik
