Always thought we listened to different music at different times...does that mean we're different people at different times? I guess so...
ReplyDeleteFV:
ReplyDeleteTwo questions:
#1- If one doesn't listen to any music, one has no personality at all?
#2- Can I change my personality by changing the kind of music I listen?
Rock/Heavy Metal = Not hard working?
ReplyDeleteSurveys are bull crap.
I did not wish to add anything to this post...I most certainly did not take it seriously and do not endorse it. It is rubbish.
ReplyDeleteMask:
Irrespective, we react to things differently at different people. We are the same ole ....
PS:
1. Of course, you are then aurally-challenged.
2. Yes, till you listen to it. Like if you listen to the flute, you can imagine you are a shepherd; if you listen to heavy metal you can think you are burdened with lotsa steel.
Happy? :)

Now what can I do about the verdict on your personality? BBC se ladai karo! Waise, as they say, if you haven't worked hard enough you have to work hard.
Hours of head banging "rituals",ear shattering screams, oxygen deficient concerts, bone breaking stunts...all that monkey business not hard work??
ReplyDeletethat really puts me back to peaceful acceptance of the lethargic masses.
Btw, the question of why someone would actually carry out such "tedious n tiresome" surveys has always puzzled me...
Such tedious and tiresome surveys also convey a personality type.
ReplyDeleteMonkey business is never hard work. Monkeys never complain.
