Don't read ahead, just do it in order. It takes about 3 minutes. First, get a pen and paper. When you actually choose names, make sure it's people you actually know, and go with your first instincts! Scroll down one line at a time - don't read ahead or you'll ruin the fun!

1. First, write the numbers 1 through to 11 in a column.

1) 16
2) 4
3) Beast
4) Cindy S.
5) Cindy D.
6) Amy
7) Terry
8) The Sweetest Thing
9) Fuckin' Perfect
10) Scarecrow
11) Amazing Grace

2. Then, beside numbers 1 and 2, write down any two numbers you want.

3. Beside the 3 and 7, write down the names of members of the opposite sex.

4. Write anyone's name (like friends or family...) in the 4th, 5th and 6th spots.

5. Write down four song titles in 8, 9, 10 and 11.

6. Finally make a wish. [pah!]

And here is the key for the game...
1. You must tell (the number in space 2) people about this game.

Surely, surely there are four people out there who'll read this and do it. Right?

2. The person in space 3 is the one that you love.

As the person from whom I stole this said, "[W]ell of course it is."

3. The person in 7 is one you like but can't work out.

Uh, no: he was our best man at our wedding. He's a good guy, but...yeah, I literally haven't seen him for about 20 years--though we are friends on Facebook.

4. You care most about the person you put in 4.

Well, she is on my mind right now. She's on her way to see her dad for the last time.

5. The person you name in number 5 is the one who knows you very well.

She was Sparky's and my savior one night last summer, and she's just a superb person. I don't know about knowing me particularly well, but she knows some stuff that lots of others don't.

6. The person you name in 6 is your lucky star.

Heh. I'm sure she just snorted very loudly as she read that, but it just might be true.

7. The song in 8 is the song that matches with the person in number 3.

Yup. Indeed it is.

8. The title in 9 is the song for the person in 7.

No. Dead wrong. If anyone, he's the only one that song is NOT about.

9. The tenth space is the song that tells you most about your mind.

Really?

I can't forget hard as I try / This silhouette against the sky
Scarecrow crying / Waiting to die wondering why / Scarecrow trying / Angels will hold carry your soul away

I'm not convinced, and I'm not sure what it means that this "tells me about my mind."

10. And 11 is the song telling how you feel about life.

I hope so. I really, truly, hope this one is right.
