The New Magic 8 Ball

Per KRex's request, and we know I listen to her by the evidence of the 10 female songwriters post, here's my magic 8 ball listening from this morning. The premise is you flip through your music and answer the following questions with the songs that come up on random. Some fit, others don't. Feel free to play along at home. And by the way, the song that came on after all of this was typed up: "Bullet in the Head" Rage Against the Machine. No one worry, though, see number 1.
