A meme of sorts - coming up with the songs to fill out the soundtrack of my life. I had a very tough time with this and spent way too much time working on it, but I'm pretty satisfied with the results!
Opening Credits: “A-Punk” – Vampire Weekend
Waking Up: “Sleeping Lessons” – The Shins
Average Day:“Alive” – Pearl Jam
First Date: “Once Around the Block” – Badly Drawn Boy
Falling In Love: “The Nearness of You” – Norah Jones
Love Scene: “Sexual Healing” – Ben Harper
Fight Scene:“Know Your Enemy” – Rage Against the Machine (this was by far the easiest choice. Hands down, no contest, no song even came close to touching this.)
Breaking Up: “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” – Bob Dylan
Getting Back Together: “Mystery” – Indigo Girls
Secret Love: “Layla” – Derek and the Dominoes (has there been a better unrequited love song written in the entire history of music? I think not)
Life’s Okay: “Life by the Drop” – Stevie Ray Vaughn
Mental Breakdown: “Let Go” – Frou Frou
Driving: “Keep the Car Running” – Arcade Fire
Learning a Lesson: "Learning to Fly" - Tom Petty
Deep Thought: “Bowl of Oranges” – Bright Eyes
Flashback: “Pictures of You” – the Cure
Partying: “Outta Control (Remix)” – 50 Cent
Happy Dance: “Friday Night at the Drive-In Bingo” – Jens Lekman
Regretting: “Both Sides Now” – Joni Mitchell
Long Night Alone: “Only Living Boy in New York” – Simon and Garfunkel
Death Scene: “Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding” - Elton John (close runners up were “I Will Follow You Into the Dark” by Death Cab for Cutie, “Your Long Journey” by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss and “Grace” or “Hallelujah” by Jeff Buckley)
Closing Credits: “The Underdog” – Spoon

I'm sure that you can find a place for this!
I have to say that even thinking about those various categories would make my brain hurt. And then to find the names of the songs to go with them, well, that wouldn't be fun. I am very impressed.
