a challenge from =trinity-77 's journal. describe yourself using lyrics from only one of your favourite bands. I'm not entirely satisfied with some of the answers I came up, so I may review this later.

Band: The White Stripes

1. Are you male or female?

Well I'm finding it harder
to be a gentleman every day

~ "finding it harder to be a gentleman"

2. Describe yourself:

I'm walking through the door
but they're expecting more
of an interesting man
and sometimes I think I can
but how much can I fake
I'll speak until I break
with every word I say
offend in every way

~ "offend in every way"

3. How do your friends feel about you?

And if i'm wasting my time
then nothing could be better
than hanging on the line
and waiting for an honest word forever

~ "wasting my time"

4. How do you feel about yourself?

Don't you remember?
You told me in December
That a boy is not a man
Until he makes a stand
Well, I'm not a genius
But maybe you'll remember this
I never said I wanted to be a man

~ "the air near my fingers"

5. Describe your girlfriend / boyfriend:

Sugar never tasted so good
Sugar never tasted so good
Sugar never tasted good to me
Yeah

Until her eyes crossed over
Until her mind crossed over
Until her soul fell next to me

~ "sugar never tasted so good"

6. What would you rather be doing?

I been thinking
of a little place down by the lake
they got a dirty little road leading up to the house
I wonder how long it will take till we're alone
sitting on the front porch of that home
stomping our feet on the wooden boards
never gonna worry about locking the door

~ "hotel yorba"

7. Describe where you live:

I just don't fit in this place
Their thoughts cast me out of here
Their home has run out of space
My mind's already out of here

~ "a boy's best friend"

8. Describe how you love:

Tonight I'll dream while in my bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
cause I can tell that we're going to be friends

~ "we're going to be friends"

9. Share a few words of wisdom:

Take all your problems
And rip 'em apart

Carry them off
In a shopping cart

~ "little acorns"
