Which songs read your mind? Which albums mirror your life? And are you a groupie?

Any third eye blind songs...some Limp Bizkit songs. I am a total groupie of any band I'm going to see in concert. The next victim is Limp Bizkit next Friday. Hoorah. I'm high!

Meredith Brooks' "Bitch," "On my own" from Les Miserables, "I Know you by Heart" by Vonda Sheppard, and "If You're Gone" by Matchbox 20.

There's a song called "Sleep" by the Dandy Warhols, and pretty much the only lyrics are "If I could sleep forever, I could forget about everything." It hits a little too close to home sometimes.

I don't think I'm a groupie yet- a friend of mine is in a band, and I'm unofficially his "first groupie". Does that count?

I am not a groupie! I am a Band-Aid. Did you not see Almost Famous? Well... I'm Dakota Smith's head groupiefairy. But otherwise! I am a Band-Aid. (holds head up high)

Surprisingly, there is no album or song that reads my mind. Certain lyrics do, like "16, clumsy, and shy. That's the story of my life." in The Smiths' Half A Person. The usual silly yellings of "OH BABY. Why won't you talk to me?" or "There's no fear when I'm in my room / It's so clear and I know just what I want to do / All day bedroom dancing / To you i wanna say / You're my thing." in Le Tigre songs. (I'd say it mirrors my life [in it's silly, giggly Go Go's-like way], but I only have half the album on mp3. And that probably doesn't count.)
