The Joys of an iPod on 'shuffle'

[trinityvixen]

I just loaded every sound file I had when I made my iTunes library. As a result, I get songs I've never listened to (ripped to mp3 for other people) interspersed with my books on tape and my AIM sounds. At one point during my lunch break, the latter two collided, and Luke Skywalker hailed Harry Potter in an exchange that couldn't reall have done anything for either of them:

"Greetings, Exalted One."
These words did nothing to raise Harry's morale.

I dunno about Mr. Potter, but if Luke Skywalker called me 'exalted one' I'd be a little more impressed.

Also thanks to the 'shuffle' function:

Bad Wisdom by Suzanne Vega

Mother the doctor knows something is wrong
Cause my body has strange information
He’s looked in my eyes and knows I’m not a child
But he doesn’t dare ask the right question

Mother my friends are no longer my friends
And the games we once played have no meaning
I’ve gone serious and shy and they can’t figure why
So they’ve left me to my own daydreaming

What price to pay
For bad wisdom
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
Too young to know
Too much too soon
Bad wisdom
Bad wisdom

Mother you’ve taught me the laws are so fine
If I’m good that I will be protected
I’ve fallen through the crack and there’s no getting back
And I’ll never trust whoever gets elected

Mother your eyes have gone suddenly cold
And it wasn’t what I was expecting
Once I did think that I’d find comfort there
And instead you’ve gone hard and suspecting

What price to pay
For bad wisdom
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
Too young to know
Too much too soon
Bad wisdom
Bad wisdom

Mother I’m cut at the root like a weed
Cause there’s no one to hear my small story
Just like a woman who walks in the street
I will pay for my life with my body

What price to pay
For bad wisdom
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
Too young to know
Too much too soon
Bad wisdom
Bad wisdom
