What Does Your Candy Heart Say?

Like Alison, I got nothing

All day, in the back of my mind I was thinking: Man, I haven’t posted on my blog since Friday. I have to write something tonight but I can’t think of a thing worth writing about. Then poor ailing Alison saved the day with a meme! I can’t believe I haven’t played this one before but it was loads of fun. Especially when the songs actually fit the questions…good for a few giggles.

The rules are: Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud (oops, I didn’t say them aloud) and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING.
