The King and I

(as in "Getting to Know You" and music and stuff)

Music survey...
1) Using band names, spell out your first name:
Bananarama
REM
Eminem
Natalie Merchant
New Main Street Singers
Alison Kraus

2) Have you ever had a song written about you?
No. Nothing rhymes with Brenna.

3) What song makes you cry?
That song, where at the end, the singer hits you on the thumb with a sledgehammer.

4) What song makes you happy?
Depends on my mood...

5) What do you like to listen to before bed?
Silence.

6)Name a song by Coal Chamber:
No.

7) Who was/were your idol/s when you were younger?
I didn't have any musical idols. Unless you count Julie Andrews. She was in musicals. And I really enjoyed her ability to pull hat racks out of carpet bags. I always wanted to have a carpet bag. They make me think of Anne of Green Gables. She was an idol of mine, too. But not musical. Carpet bags also make me think of the post-Civil War days (the post-antebellum?), and the carpetbaggers. Who were not my idols.

8) First album you ever bought?
I got five CDs from Columbia House when I got my first CD player. I don't remember them all, but they included Gloria Estefan and Boys II Men.

9) Name a song that reminds you of someone and why:
That song "Freshmen" by that whiny-sounding guy reminds me of my first year roommate in college, because she played it incessantly. I think she was mourning Kurt Cobain's death or something. Seriously! She had a freaking huge poster of him that would stare at me when I tried to study. Though I don't know how/if whiny-guy Freshmen singer and Cobain were related.
