What's your theme song quiz results

I am a 17 year old male from North America. I am not a very gregarious person, to be frank. I have friends, and enjoy the company of them, but I do not feel particularly pushed to make new ones right now. I enjoy jazz and latin music, quiet, the rain, reading philosophy, and being alone in my basement. I am also a fitness enthusiast and I regularly engage in strength training, running, and swimming.
This back story is to give you an idea of what type of person I am. Simply stated, I am laconic and a loner. So when browsing the internet on a rainy Thursday afternoon, I was in my comfort zone, listening to jazz as usual and emailing a close friend.
A little whiIe before that day, I acquired a new interest, which involves facial reading and the way the mind works. As a result, I was taking many psychological tests and reading a lot that day. Most of the quizzes went according to my predictions and I learned a lot. I was tired and in the process of dozing off when THAT quiz came up in a link.
The quiz was titled, “What’s your theme song?” and I raised my eyebrows a little, but thought little of it otherwise. I browsed through the questions, answering them as they corresponded with my personality. There were questions about my character traits, interests, preferences and the like. I predicted that the quiz would spit out some kind of song with the intention of “By myself” – linkin park, or something else with that genre and taste, based on the way I am and the answers I provided to the questions. However, I was greatly surprised by the results.
Apparently, this computer determined that in spite of the answers I provided that I enjoy pop music, which I dislike and that I liked music by female singers. No offense intended to anyone, but I have noticed that most of my favorite music has no vocalists, and when it does the vocalists are male. I have nothing whatsoever against female artists, but I am just saying what I have noticed about my taste.
I have also noticed that I prefer dark, slower music. I don’t like fast, loud or screamo music. Its just what I am, or not. And seeing as I am a loner, I prefer my music not to be derivative, dance or “kid’s music”. I want something relaxing. Regardless, the computer spat out a song I had not heard of, by an artist I am not familiar with. My theme song was, according to the computer, “Soak up the Sun” – Sheryl Crow.
By this time, I was seriously intrigued and wondering why the computer had made such a stupid choice. I had to see what this was about. I went to youtube.com and listened to the song, once. And then again, and again. And another time.

Day One All small children are weathermen. They may not know much but they know good and bad, scary and safe, and when they're checking the weather of their world the sky they look into is their parent's face. If you're the parent, no matter what kind of tornado is coming, it's your job to act like everything is okay. The day of our appointment, nothing was okay, but I was …

Canter the dog I am not a dog person. Why? Because sometimes I forget to get myself dinner. Because I never walk myself daily. Because I don’t play catch with myself and because I won’t change all that for a dog. That was my opinion anyhow before Canter came to stay. Don’t think I would have let him in easy--he is a golden retriever, which is to say he …

Marlo Thomas Is An Actress In 1974 my family loved watching Marlo Thomas on her TV show, That Girl. My mother would always refer to her as 'that darling Marlo Thomas' or by her longer name, 'that darling Marlo Thomas, I just love her'. We also loved I Dream Of Jeannie and Bewitched. Jeannie had a master who stoppered her into her bottle when she was bad and Samantha wasn't allowed to be her …
