I'd like to give you a view of myself as seen by the iTunes random number generator. The following list of questions has been going around Facebook; you can see the rules below. I put some translations and clarifying comments to some of the answers.
I took the quiz a bit more than a year ago (09/10/27 to be exact) so some of the comments may be a bit outdated.
In the end of the text, I have attached a screenshot of the playlist so you can see I did not cheat. The results are interesting; enjoy! :)
1. Put your iTunes/Napster/Zune Player/WinAmp/etc on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!

Ko-Ko
(Reverse?)
WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?
Cross my heart and hope to die
(I swear in the name of truth. I do what I feel right. It has led me to a point where the road is empty ahead of me. I have never intentionally done wrong. I'm not afraid of death even though I have no rush.)
WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
Run like hell
(Shy? Yes I am. I have gone a long way without having had to make plans for other people. Still I have learnt how my choices affect other people and their plans. I am responsible for the former but by no means for the latter. Run like hell.)
HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
Saturday night at the movies
(Well, after these responses, it's pretty much like that.)
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?
Thank you

Symphony no 2, II (Sibelius)
(Don't ask me to decrypt this.)

I don't wanna be me
(You know what you think.)

A kind of magic
:)

Mr Finland
(Would be nice to have more mass in appropriate places.)
WHAT IS 2+2?
Kvartetto rock-yhtyeelle ja solistille, op 1 (Quartet for a rock band and a soloist)
(That makes four, doesn't it? The band, CMX, has a t-shirt with a lyra whose strings are made of barbwire and a text around it, "mathematical heart in an immaterial body" (in Finnish). The band is all about metaphors, truth, and, allow me, parametrizing feelings via experiences.)

Teit meistä kauniin (you made us beautiful)
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
Sivu paholaisen päiväkirjasta (a page from the diary of a devil)

Bleeding me

Tuupovaarassa 1925 (in tuupovaara 1925)

Anesthesia

WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?
Prokofjev: Piano concerto no 5 in g major, op 55 3rd mov: toccata, allegro con fuoco
