A while back, we were trying to come up with possible interview questions for a co-worker who was applying for a new position in the company. Of course he got the usual responses like "Where do you see yourself in five years?", "How would you handle X if Y happened?" etc. I was trying to be a bit more creative in my questions. I finally submitted
"If you had to get rid of one state, which one would it be?" (Incidentally, Louisiana was the number one answer.)
But while I was trying to come up with an off the wall question like that, I pondered several other questions like- "If you could have lunch with one person, living or dead, who would it be?" Personally, I think lunch with a dead person would not be too much fun. And because of my friend Kim, I have to say Jesus because if he is an option and I don’t choose him, then I am surely going to hell.
Another question I thought about was “What is the theme song for your life?” Hmmm, so many possibilities. Maybe something fun and flirty. Or, for my other personality, something dark and scary. And I think I’ve come up with one that might work for both sides. I copied the lyrics from the No Doubt website. It’s called “Just a Girl”.
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh... I've had it up to here!
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear
'Cause I'm just a girl,
I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night
I'm just a girl,
Guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
I'm just a girl,
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh... I've had it up to here!
Oh... am I making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world...
That's all that you'll let me be!
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Makes me worry some
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to
Is making me numb
I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison
