Born to Run

I got tagged for a new game/questionnaire/self-analysis quiz on Facebook. I'm cutting and pasting my answers here, for those of you who, like me, have no sense of boundaries.

(Hey, try it... it's fun... just delete my answers and comments and put in yours. (If you do it, send me your results, huh? Fair's fair.)

And now, the quiz. verbatim:

RULES:
1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle [You can also use your Pandora channels on shuffle for this].
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.
4. Tag AT LEAST 10 friends (including me so I can see your results).
5. Everyone tagged has to do the same thing.
6. Have Fun!

IF SOMEONE SAYS 'ARE YOU OKAY' YOU SAY [I AM]?
Turn! Turn! Turn! (The Byrds)
(However I am, it isn't how I was an hour ago.)

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?
My Sweet Lord (George Harrison)
(Well, I *do* have a bit of an ego.)

Push (Matchbox Twenty)
(Physically? Attitudinally? Perhaps it performed the common Korean error of mistaking "P" for "B"?)

How to Save a Life (The Fray)
(I haven't eaten an animal since 1991.)

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
