I've seen this on a bunch of blogs and I think it's awesome.
The rules: Put your music player on shuffle. Press forward for each question. Use the song title as the answer to the question. Post this on your blog. Leave a comment here when you post it on your site.
'kay... Here's my list except I'm also considering the lyrics:
Will I get far in life?
Arc of a Journey - Boardcast (beeps and electronic notes with female vocals talking about being more than what we were programmed to be)
How do my friends see me?
All Down the Line – The Rolling Stones (This song is about working men, I think. Given my current situation I could see how my friends could see me like that right now.)
Where will I get married?
The Ballad of Queen Bee and Baby Duck – Eagles of Death Metal (so I'm the baby duck? What does this mean? I'm afraid)
What is my best friend’s theme song?
Soul Meets Body – Death Cab for Cutie (I can see it. Can you?)
What is the story of my life?
Independence Day – Elliott Smith (It's all about perfection and seeing it in someone else while you are in the gutter. In general, however, I like that an Elliott Smith song is the story of my life.)
What was high school like?
Alone Again Or - Calexico (yeah, that's how I felt... just like every other teenager. The tex-mex feel wasn't there. I was, however, mistaken for a Mexican once in high school.)
How can I get ahead in life?
Outta Mind (Outta Sight) - Wilco (That's a good philosophy.)
What is the best thing about me?
Radio Cures [live in Toronto] - Wilco ("cheer up, honey/I hope you can")
How is today going to be?
California Stars [live] - Wilco (okay, I didn't plan three wilco songs in a row, but this is how I hope today will be)
What is in store for this weekend?
Hi-Skies – The Morning after Girls (sounds like a plan. so should I fly in a plane or get high another way?)
What song describes my parents?
Mathematics – Mos Def (I don't think my parents know who Mos Def is, but somehow it fits. My parents are very mathematical)
My grandparents?
Yours Truly – The New Grand (a nice indie pop. don't know if describes my grandparents, but I like to think it does)
How is my life going?
Web in Front – Archers of Loaf ("You're not the one who let me down, but thanks for offering." That sums up my life pretty well)
What song will they play at my funeral?
Dolores – Robert Charlebois (...random)
How does the world see me?
Mykel and Carli - Weezer (basically the world sees me as a indie rock girl? That explains a lot)
Will I have a happy life?
Message in a Bottle [live] – The Police (this doesn't sound to promising)
What do my friends really think of me?
All the Things She Said - TATU (nobody knows I'm secretly a lesbian...but only for the cameras)
Do people secretly lust after me?
My Descent into Madness – The Eels (I think this might be a sign that I'm insane to think that anyone is secretly lusting after me. Either that or they're insane, which could be interesting)
How can I make myself happy?
You Threw A Spark – Crooked Fingers (I claim that you did me wrong because Eric tells me not too)
What should I do with my life?
Lifeboat - Lovage (ah...)
Will I ever have children?
Fighting in a Sack - The Shins (hehehe... I guess that answers the question)
What is some good advice?
Kamera - Wilco (I've been reading a lot Bazin recently, so I do need a camera to remind me of what lies I've been hiding)
What is my signature dancing song?
The River [Springsteen cover] – Crooked Fingers (this is a dance song if I ever heard one)
What do I think my current theme song is?
Against All Odds [Phil Colins cover] – The Postal Service (after the week I've had, I have to say that this is dead on)
What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
Young Pilgrims – The Shins (Is that what you really think of me, world? I thought we were on better terms)
What type of men/women do you like?
Bikeage – The Descendents (no comment)

I refuse to believe those picks were totally random. There were too many REALLY good fits.
Or maybe you're just a man who's honest enough about the music he likes to properly populate your playlist.
I was being totally honest. I will admit, however, that there are 200 MP3s of wilco on my computer currently. Notice, however, the lack of Neko Case? If I was cheating she'd be on there. You know that.
