Well, it was fun for me.
really fascinating. we should make a Teen magazine personality test based on the results.
I think 137 “day” songs vs 88 “night” songs means you look for the best in people, but your 17 “hard” songs means you don’t easily succumb to false charms.
damn. that’s a good idea. time to whip up a survey page.
enter:
total number of songs: ___
number of songs with ‘love’: ___
number of songs with ‘hate’: ___
number of songs with ‘hard’: ___
etc..
crunch those numbers into something, then present the horoscope.
profit!
