~It definitely is a long hard road out of hell.
2. (S)Aint by Marilyn Manson
~Hold the S because I am an ain't

15. Stand my Ground
~I will forever stand my ground. That is, I will never give up on what I have promised I will do.

Yoko Kanno - go DA DA
For Runtime. Its preferred form is that of a spiderlike robot, so picking something associated with the Tachikomas from Ghost in the Shell seemed appropriate.

Tool - Vicarious
For Beast, whose original role in the system was to relieve stress by the most direct route possible. Usually logging onto his Brute in City of Villains, Vin Wiesel, and smashing things.

(unknown) - Jump into the Blue Sky!
For Beka. This is on one of the .hack//Legend of the Twilight soundtracks, and as you might guess if you know the series, it's one of the cutest things ever.

Lacuna Coil - To Myself I Turned
For Robin. It seems to sum up the feeling of her time as main frontrunner.

Nightwish - Eva
For Eva. Sums up the feeling of her fronting before we recognized her as a separate member of the group, and it's where she got her name.

Varttina - The Village Awaits the Next Moon
For Sapphire. Everything on the Nordic Roots compilations is her kind of thing, and this is one of her favorites.

Delirium - Angelicus
For Aletheia. She happened to be out one day and really liked this song. Doubly rare.

Faith and the Muse - Prodigal
For Nihil. Sums up her feelings about being Fallen.

Delirium - Eternal Odyssey
For Val. It struck her as an auditory representation of what journeywork is, and that's in her sphere of expertise within the system.

NIN - Discipline
For Svanni, the sub and perhaps greatest sensualist in a system full of sensualists.

Dougie MacLean - Caledonia
For Rhun. This is how he feels about home.

Sixx::AM - Life is Beautiful
For Shainin. Her theme song.

Atreyu - Lead Sails (and a Paper Anchor)
For YDKW. Her theme song.

Rammstein - Stirb Nicht vor Mir
For S'aryn and Solundat. It seems to describe their relationship so well.

Delirium - Returning
For Cai, for his fear of the world, and for his persistent feeling that it's not where he's supposed to be.

Flobots - Handlebars
For Shang. He may not really believe this sort of thing about himself, but it's how he presents himself to the outside world when he do it and not get smacked by Val.

-dunno who, sleep-fuzzed

"Confusion" - Alice in Chains - Loosely biographical?
"Stellar" - Incubus - My love song.
"Penetrate" - Godhead - I feel like a bit of my personality is injected into this song.
"Skin Is Burning" - Burlap to Cashmere - "My skin is burning with the fire of the world, and sometimes my eyes are tricking me.."
"Purple Pills" - D12
"Zebraskin" - Dredg
"Criminal" - Eminem - I feel that I play the role of a trickster in much of my life, and that this is an example, albeit a hyperbole.
"Foolish Games" - Jewel - If I were the man in the song, rather than the speaker.
"Pimp Juice" - Nelly - There's a certain level of class, exorbitant wealth, and.. "g thang" all together.
"Change (In The House of Flies)" - The Deftones - Half dark love song, very much mirroring my thoughts and feelings.
"Blue" - A Perfect Circle - Same as above.
"Pussy Liquor" - Rob Zombie - I'm very amused by this song.
"One Nation Under A Groove" - Funkadelic - My favorite song, period. The Grande Finale.

This is a great idea! And in no particular order, my songs.

1. I'm In A Hurry by Alabama - because everyone's always rushing and sometimes people need to stop and slow down.

2. Video Killed The Radio Star by the Presidents of the United States - this has been my personal theme song for the past 8 years. I love it; the lyrics, the music, it's one of my favorite songs of all time.

3. From A Distance by Bette Midler - another song that I've loved for years. This one is simply beautiful and again, makes people stop and take a look at their lives.

4. Animal I Have Become by 3 Days Grace - sums up being a therian pretty well sometimes.

5. Everything I Do, I Do It for You by Bryan Adams - my husband's and my song. It explains our relationship perfectly.

6. Just Push Play by Aerosmith - one of my favorite Aerosmith songs, it's got a great beat and the lyrics rock!

7. Wolfen One by Heather Alexander - my favorite therian-related song, it's soft, I love the lyrics and it's very spiritual.

8. Worst Pirate by Ceánn - because girly pirate woman are pathetic and not really pirates. I am not what the song describes as I wear black whenever I feel like it (it's one of my fav. colors) and my pirate flag does not have birds or flowers on it!

9. Only The Good Die Young by Billy Joel - because it's true. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s -->

10. Loch Levan by the Tartan Terrors - because the bagpipes are a wonderufl sound and this song is very haunting and beautiful. It instantly transports me to Ireland.

11. Unleash the Albannach by Albannach - tribal, loud and awesome! These Scottish drummers are fantastic!

12. Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Judy Garland - it's where I'd like to be.

13. Music Of The Night by Michael Crawford - it's such a beautiful song and since I love nighttime it's appropriate.

I'll have to get back to you on the last two as I'm simply out of steam for the day!

14.

15.

1. Linkin Park - Crawling (preferably a remix thereof)
Just for nostalgic reasons of how I felt during my awakening.

2. Rachel Luttrell - Beyond the Night
Showing my inner sci-fi geek here, but it's a beautiful song. I hope someone does something this beautiful at my funeral. Not that I want it to be soon or anything <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->.

3. DJ Sammy - California Dreamin Remix
Good beat, good lyrics. Was my favorite song for a while.

4. A_Witt - Doing the TWiT
TWiT is the reason I got into podcasting in the first place. The random sound clips sound like a random day when I'm being a computer geek.

5. Scatman John - Scatman's World
A very uplifting song, hence it makes my list. Reflects my idealism when it is untainted by reality.

6. T.A.T.U. - Ya Shosla S Uma (Russian version)
I don't know why, I just like this song... A LOT.

7. Hampton the Hamster - Hamster Dance Remix
I just like stuff that annoys the crap out of people... and techno.

8. O-Zone - Numa Numa
I am not Gary Brolsma... though I should probably dress up as him for Halloween this year since I have a compatible body type.

9. Super Mario Bros Theme (Original 8-bit craptacular edition)
I like games. What else am I going to say... increase the size of your manhood with mushrooms?

10. Eminem - Guilty Conscience
It starts all love and light, but ends very rational. Kinda like my personal religious beliefs.

11. Eminem - Without Me
I like stirring up crap and annoying authority and "authority" figures in the process.

12. Jeff Foxworthy - Redneck 12 Days of Christmas
I don't know whether this is reflecting on my past in the backwoods of PA... or because I'm now in Texas. Oh ya, and I like the whole Christmas season thing even though I'm not Christian.

13. Nikki French - Total Eclipse of the Heart (remix) (not that Bonnie Tyler version that puts me to sleep)
How I feel when I'm in love.

14. Rihanna - Umbrella
Reflects my charitable nature... but also how others have been charitable to me in times of need.

15. Metroid Prime - Phendrana Drifts
The utter silence of a frigid winter day when snow is out and about is something I often meditate about... even though I try to use that as my setting for starting some meditations.

EDIT: Now my roommates know why I was playing so much weird music <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->.

lol I WAS wondering about that.. I had your songs and energies coming in waves from one direction and hers coming from the other. I felt like I was getting pulled in every direction at once, as well as being pulled apart and crammed together all at once.

Hmm. Now Lemme think.

Men Without Hats - Safety Dance
How I approach life. <3
Smashing Pumpkins - The Beginning is the End is the Beginning
Because there's times I'd love to watch the world burn.
Lit - My Own Worst Enemy
Because I am. Impulse decisions aren't always good.
Godsmack - Voodoo
Because I'm not quite here or there.
Danzig - Am I Demon
Because I doubt myself as often as I believe myself.
MSI - Shut Me Up
This can mean two things: my love of arguing, or my complete mood swings I get.
Oingo Boingo - Insanity
Self explanatory; I have plenty of moments where I'm on that edge.
Kamelot - Ghost Opera
I love the attention because I love the power that comes from it.

Cake - Sheep Go To Heaven
And goats go to hell.

And I am too.
The Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of innuendo.
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Things don't bump me in the night for good reason.
