with your hands on my shoulders, a meaningless movement: A movie script ending...

So there is this pretty neat thing circulating around MySpace and Facebook called IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE? You are suppose to open your music library, put it on shuffle, and insert a song on each of the ‘movie scene’ below... well, I tried the whole shuffle thing and didn’t like the result... So instead, I inserted the tracks manually to fit the described ‘scenes’ below. Btw, feel free to post your shuffle or made-up soundtrack in the comments section.
