Sometimes you listen to the wrong type of music

I'm a big believer in the fact that the type of music you listen to can affect your mood drastically if you want it to. Sometimes I choose the wrong type of music for my mood. For example, right now I'm listening to Sigur Ros' ( ) album. You know the one. It doesn't have a title and neither do any of the tracks. Anyway, it's totally the wrong type of music to be listening to right now. It's making me sleeply, depressed, and generally upset. Now don't get me wrong. I really like that album. It's just that it doesn't suit my needs right now. I don't know exactly what type of music I want to listen to right now so that's why I'm leaving it on and it's just getting worse. It just sounds so sad... full of longing and misery.

Interestingly enough, I've seen this survey done a bunch of different blogs, and since I have no online friends, I've decided to just do it myself and then try to convince the couple of people I do know to try it out too.

10 years ago - I was fourteen years old. I didn't have a job. I think I had just spent most of the summer away at different one week camps. I think I went on something like three seven-day camps that summer. It was a good one.

5 years ago- I was working at Ontario Place the summer before I went to University. I think it was the first season I had worked there, and it was a blast. I drank too much, went partying too much, got puked on, got pushed down some stairs, and overall had a great summer.

1 year ago- I had just finished the last of university courses and was driving to Winnipeg at this point. Actually, it was the first day of said trip. Man, that trip was fun. Too bad the destination wasn't worth it.

Yesterday - I awoke in someone else's house after a night of heavy drinking, went to Tim Hortons to get something to eat, and then came home and watched something like three discs of the first season of Popular. Man, that show sucked.

5 snacks I enjoy - all-dressed potato chips, reheated Chinese food, french fries, cola (it's a snack in my book), and bean and cheese burrito.

5 songs I know all the words to -
1. Joe Jackson - Is She Really Going Out With Him?
2. AC/DC - Shook Me All Night Long
3. Ryan Adams - Come Pick Me Up
4. Brintey Spears - (Hit Me Baby) One More Time
5. Elvis Costello - Welcome To The Working Week

5 things I would do with $100 million -
1. give half away to charity
2. put out the records of bands I like
3. complete my comic book collection
4. go on a HUGE road trip
5. maybe start my own religion

5 places I'd run away to -
1. London, England
2. Vancouver, Canada
3. Portland, USA
4. Somewhere in the Southwestern United States
5. Marathon, Ontario, Canada (it's between Thunder Bay and Ste. St. Marie)

5 things I would never wear- Can't answer this question. I'd wear almost anything if it was clean OR someone paid me to wear it.

5 favorite TV shows - Angel, Veronica Mars, Family Guy, The Daily Show, and The OC

5 biggest joys - solving a problem I've been struggling with for a while, watching a really good movie/televisions (it's all about the narrative, baby), sex, drunk arguments about absolutely anything with my friends, and sole road trips.

5 favorite toys - my computer, my discman, my guitar, ah... toys... hmm... don't really have anymore of those. Do comic books count as toys?

So, there are about three people who I know read this blog on a regular basis (if there are more of you out there I don't know you exist. I hope you're enjoying reading this) and ask them all to do this. If you don't have a blog of your own, just reply in the comments, okay? Cool.
