Stolen from Ray (and so it continues)
I know I'm going to regret this, because I'll be seeing it in everyone's weblogs, but what the hell, I thought it was interesting.
Step 1: Open your Winamp or other MP3 player.
Step 2: Put all of your music on random.
Step 3: Write down the first fifty songs it plays, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 4: Bold your top ten favorites
(I'm doing this with Windows Media Player, which sucks. My WinAmp isn't working at the moment.)

So, out of my 1500 songs, it picked Alkaline Trio (of which I have 50 available) 6 times.
Out of my 250 power metal songs like Nightwish and Blind Guardian, it picked those 11 times.
26 songs out of 700 were metal. (Defining those liberally)
And finally, out of my 600 indie songs, it picked those 6, maybe 7 or 8 times.
I am glad it picked some prog stuff at least.
Some of those were pretty embarrassing... Why couldn't it have picked one of my Iron Maiden songs?
What am I doing being up at 4:00 in the morning? I dunno... Better than being down, I guess. (I'll keep the bad jokes to a minimum)
Damn, it's cold here in the kitchen sitting in just my shorts and a tee shirt. I'd try to get back to sleep, but I just realized that I've been sipping Coke. Oh well, looks like I get to see a sunrise today. w00t.
I think I'm at least going to read, and/or take a hot bath...

The aforementioned procedure involves a minimum of 50 songs... Hard to pull off with only 2... In my defense, I sit down to write songs exceedingly more often than I sit down to listen to them... *L*
Nightwiisssshhhh!!! Sleeping sun is great.
*runs away*
