I noticed an interest meme on Facebook today in a post by Vincent Kong, and I decided it would be an interesting exercise to try it out (and my food was actually still somewhat warm by the time I finished). I think a few of my answers are pretty clever, so I decided to include my post in this spot as well.
Instructions: Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on to at least 15 people and include me. You can't use the band I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think! Re-post as "my life according to (band name)".
MAP's additional note: I am spending way too much time trying to be clever with this. It helps that Depeche Mode (which is my favorite artist) has such a huge catalog. This would have been significantly harder had I picked Modern English or---dare I say it?---Baltimora.

Describe where you currently live:
"Home"
If you could go anywhere, where would you go:
"Only When I Lose Myself"
Your favorite form of transportation:
"Walking In My Shoes"
Your best friend is:
"I Feel Loved" (I had to resist the urge to put "Master and Servant" here. DM can be so convenient for some things... And my answer refers to the friendship type of love, by the way, so nobody should get any ideas.)
What's the weather like:
"Precious" (I guess I'm writing this on the one day of the year it's that way here... Oh crap, I need to use this later. How about "Enjoy the Silence", which actually makes sense if you've seen the music video.)
Favorite time of day:
"Waiting for the Night"
If your life was a TV show, what would it be called:
"World in My Eyes"
What is life to you:
"Black Celebration" (Just kidding!)
Your fear:
"Death's Door"
What is the best advice you have to give:
"Get the Balance Right!"
Thought for the Day:
"Precious"
How I would like to die:
"Black Celebration" (Am I allowed to use the same answer twice? If not, then I'll be honest and select "But Not Tonight" and have that refer to now and forever more. Maybe I should become a lich?)
My soul's present condition:
"Dream On"
My motto:
"Policy of Truth"

are you talking about when they played the 'Top 5' Modern English songs where they played Melt With You 5 times in a row?
Indeed I am, although they actually played it 6 times in a row because the DJ pretended to lose count. :) I proudly listened to all six songs---I found the whole thing to be inspiring.
(For what it's worth, the group actually did have another song that made the top 100, but I think ignoring it for the cause was worthwhile.)
It has dawned on me that you are from LA. So even though this was before you got to 'Tech (it was just my sophomore year (fall of '92, I think)), it makes sense you heard it.
I don't remember exactly what year it was, but I remember telling Lemming about it during my senior year at Tech. It occurred some number of years before then.
