Labradorable bestowed upon Alarming Female the ab-fab designation 
Rockin’ Girl Blogger, which is quite an honor, and which calls for a meme. This one’s been floating around MySpace and the Internets for awhile. It’ll give you an idea what’s on my iPod and exactly how rockin’ I really am.
INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Put your music player on shuffle. 2. Press forward for each question. 3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn’t make sense. (My comments)
How does the world see me?
Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf
I swear to God I didn’t cheat. I think I should quit while I’m ahead. . .
Will I have a happy life?
Especially in Michigan - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Michigan? WTF? Don’t you mean Oregon?
What do my friends think of me?
Spare Me The Details - The Offspring
Yeah, well, sometimes I do forget the principles of TMI. As my DS says, “Mom, you always have to take it too far”
What is some good advice for me?
Rikki Don’t Lose That Number - Steely Dan
Is that an ADD crack? Back off, SD–and don’t call me Rikki
How will I be remembered?
U Got The Look - Prince
Um, right
What’s my current theme song?
Raspberry Beret - Prince
Don’t look too closely at the lyrics, that’s my advice
What do others think is my current theme song?
Ballrooms Of Mars - T.Rex
Yeah, well, I don’t always fit in with the crowd
What will they play at my funeral?
I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
Now, that’s funny
What type of women/men do I like?
Come As You Are - Nirvana
Pretty much. I like all kinds of people, as long as they’re honest
How’s my love life?
When I Hear My Name - The White Stripes
I’m waiting. . .
The next songs that played while I wrote this blog:

Can I Kick It? - A Tribe Called Quest
I’m surprised Sublime didn’t show up–they’re one of my favorite bands, and I never get tired of listening to their music.
I must give also credit to the Socks That Rock yarn for contributing to my rockin’ status; however, my luck isn’t holding with this particular project.
I frogged the previous sock because I couldn’t get it over my heel–not enough stretch at 64 stitches. Then I tried 72, but look how oddly it pools. It may be back to the drawing board for me.
Perhaps it’s time to jump on the Monkey bars and see how that works out.

Everything is so apropos except Steely Dan…that’s what you get for listening to SD anyway. At least Dave Matthews didn’t show up….bleh.

What a great meme! I love the “I will survive” at your funeral one!
Posted 29 Aug 2007 at 10:02 am ¶Hey! What’s wrong with Steely Dan?
Posted 29 Aug 2007 at 1:30 pm ¶I got Depeche Mode’s “New Life” for my funeral song. I guess that’s appropriate in my religiousity!
Posted 29 Aug 2007 at 3:37 pm ¶Oh, you do *so* definitely rock!!! It’s 7:30 in the morning and I just got to work and you’ve got me dying to get home so that I can get my iPod and have a go at that meme. And I do agree, the pooling with the 72 stitches was not good. . . give Monkey a try!
Posted 30 Aug 2007 at 5:30 am ¶hi laurie, thanks for reading my post…needless to say I feel weird telling people, but it has to be done for my mental health. I feel sort of weird coming back to the SnB since I’m probably the only one. So, it might take some time to get up the nerve. Those socks are beautiful…
