SONG #25 = A SONG YOU COULD LISTEN TO ALL DAY WITHOUT GETTING TIRED OF IT.

This. Song. Is. My. Life's. Theme. Song. Seriously.

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH! :D

This song is my favorite song ever and I love singing it and dancing to it and I've sang this with my best friend and jammed out to this song for so long that it has just become a part of me.

It's so perfect that only run on sentences can truly encapsulate my feelings.

For me, this song embodies summer, because I found this randomly one summer and sang it at summer camp. Austin overheard me and then it became a giant theme song for the camp/our friendship. To this day, I would say that this is our song. He was so close to singing it Thursday night, but I wanted to personally post this song for Ashley & Watson's viewing pleasure.

As you can tell, it was incredibly difficult to save this for the end, since it fits so many categories for me :P For what it's worth though, I can honestly tell you that once you've heard this song, you'll know me completely ♥

SONG #24 = A SONG YOU HAVE DANCED TO WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND.

Mentioned tonight at DQ, this is indeed a song that Austin & I have rocked out too while playing DDR. We were epic masters and I bet if we played DDR again, we'd still kick ass!

We first heard this song during summer camp one year when we actually had a PS2 and a DDR mat; it was my first time ever playing DDR and who better to play with then against Austin. We picked this song because it sounded so much fun. We kept cranking up the difficulty level, because the higher the difficulty, the more notes, which added to the intensity of an already intense song.

I JUST FOUND THE BEST VIDEO EVER <3 It's even on expert and everything. Just imagine Austin and I DDRing and actually being successful and you will be AMAZED.

SONG #23 = A SONG THAT YOU CANNOT STAND TO LISTEN TO.

This is painful... legitimately. I HATE this song so much and everyone I know likes it and thinks it's the greatest song ever.

I first heard this song when I was 17 and it's been a plague ever since.

When I was driving with Blain & Chris, Blain picked this song and I mentally died inside. This song, although I know the lyrics to it, is the bane of my existence. I can't even say why I hate it, other than that I really do. It might be the one song that I cannot learn to love - I've come to accept Ke$ha's music (if you could even call what she does singing.. I'm pretty sure I could become a singer if SHE somehow made it) and on some level Justin Bieber's music doesn't send me into conniptions like it used to (this still does not mean that I like his music. Now I only want to kill myself when his music comes on, instead of harming babies).

It's stuck in my head now too, which will HAVE to be corrected immediately.

SONG #22 = A SONG THAT SOMEONE HAS SUNG TO YOU.

This would be the last song I can remember having sung to me, besides Watson's creepy word speaking song serenades :P

Roommate was incredibly hyper and was singing this at the top of her lungs as she ran through the dorm. She would stop at every door singing one part of the song and would sometimes put our names into the lyrics. I was laughing the entire time, because she was acting so goofy and getting the lyrics wrong, but she was having so much fun with it :P

I think it just goes to show that I bring the goofball out of most people :P

SONG #21 = YOUR FAVORITE SONG.

Basically, my favorite song is being kept under wraps until the final day, so I've decided to pick my longest favorite song ever. It still is valid, because it is a favorite & happens to be the favorite that has lasted the test of time.

I still sing this at maximum volume and I even do the background voices, such as the FEH-male's and the opening of the song :D You'd think I'd rebel against a song that talks about cheating, but I love this song so much and I always have.

I remember getting ready for school and my brother was sitting in the living room watching MTV for the Wake Up Countdown. Yeah, a time when MTV actually played music consistently, but it was slowly dying even then. Anyway, as we were getting all our stuff together, this song came on and I got to witness the premiere of the music video that morning. I was TRULY excited and I made my mom & brother wait as I observed the awesomeness - it didn't help that I had a big crush on Kevin & Howie, which looking back explains EVERYTHING.

Despite this being my favorite song from them, I still loved NSYNC just the same <3

SONG #20 = THE LAST SONG ALPHABETICALLY IN YOUR ITUNES.

I really like this song and despite being introduced to me through Ricky, it's still highly enjoyable. I remember when I first heard this song, I didn't know if the band was +44 or if it was 155, and I still have that same confusion every now and then. Whenever I see the number 155, like I did today when I went to Play-n-Trade with Blain & Chris, I always think of this song. The address for Play-n-Trade was 155, in case there was confusion!

It was a lot of fun hanging out with them today, even if I was super stressed about being in Nofo at 1:30 when my class started at 2 =]

SONG #19 = THE FIRST SONG ALPHABETICALLY IN YOUR ITUNES.

The song says everything =]

Even though this song apparently came out in 2000, I still miss the music from my childhood where the music on the radio was widely appreciated by everyone, because it was actually good. I have spent so many drives just screaming this song & I really wish "All Star" was the first song on my iTunes, just because then I could say I have screamed the song with friends in the car. That whole decade of music is so much fun to sing <3

SONG #18 = A SONG THAT YOU LOVE BUT RARELY LISTEN TO.



Well, of course I had to pick this song at some point <3

This was my favorite song, but that was mostly because it has a fairly normal title. I mean, if you knew what my ACTUAL favorite song was, then I'd get weird looks and people wondering why I enjoy that song so much or how I even found it.

But this one was still pretty high up there. When I first found this in high school, it was paired up with a few guys that I liked, one in particular, but c'est la vie. It's contagious and yes, I had to use a pun to describe why I like the song so much.

I guess I have to be in that sort of mood or mindset to want to listen to it. Lately none of my songs have legitimate story lines, but I use fluff sentences to try to cover that up. I wonder if anyone's noticed this.. maybe I shouldn't have said anything.

SONG #17 = A SONG THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO DANCE.

I had every intention to post a normal video to "Macarena" until I realized there wouldn't be. The legit music video was lackluster, considering the girls didn't do the actual dance, BUT it was splendidly 90s looking. Then I searched for more Macarena videos and I found this <3

I LOVED The Animaniacs when I was growing up and I aspired to be just like Dot. Obviously we know how that turned out <3 My brother and I used to watch this all the time and despite the 6 year age difference, it was one of the few times we actually got along/tolerated each other. We would sing some of the other Animaniacs songs, like "Are We There Yet?" He'd be Yakko & Wakko and I'd get to be Dot. If you haven't seen that, I highly suggest you do. Maybe I'll just post it after this one is done :P

I've never heard/seen this rendition, but it reminds me of the actual song & what I always thought the music video would look like.. minus the cartoons, but in this case, it's a bonus! When I was little, I was OBSESSED with this song. Every single time it would be on the radio, I'd just start dancing. Sometimes I would even sing it for my parents and do the dance until they told me to stop; I think if I had the choice, I never would have, but I was nice enough to give them the option =]

SONG #16 = A SONG THAT HAS MADE YOU CRY.

When I first saw this movie, I was so excited and had NO idea how deep and emotional this movie really was. I just saw Disney/Pixar and assumed happy-go-lucky. I was terribly wrong.

This song played within the first 10 minutes of the movie and I was crying my eyes out. Once you get me crying, it's like a never-ending waterworks show, so every single sentimental thing thereafter brought tears to my eyes. This is such an emotional movie for me that even when there were funny parts, it was like I had a pain in my heart for the characters.

I still cry no matter how many times I've seen this movie, which is quite a few times, but this music just tears my heartstrings into tiny pieces. The Totoro theme song always cheers me up after hearing this, so this is like my Kryptonite.

Ergo, if I ever hear any of my immediate friends randomly playing this song, I may either attack them or start crying like a baby. Neither option is better than the other, so play your music wisely :D

I'm sorry, but I had to post the music with the actual scene it correlated with. I'm a glutton for punishment.

I can't wait until I have the Carl to my Ellie. I think I would give up almost anything to have someone that I love, love me as much as he did her, that even after death, he always thought of her, even if that may not be an entirely healthy way to grieve. It's really powerful to see ANY couple withstand so much hardship and still love/dote on each other <3 To me, that's the most beautiful thing about this movie: the aspect of love and dreams.

SONG #15 = A SONG YOU LOVE SINGING ALONG TO.

This is incredibly difficult, because I've been saving one song in particular and I'm not sure to use it here, or if I should use it for my favorite song, because it counts as both :C It also counts as a song I could listen to all day. SO DIFFICULT.

I've decided to save the original song and post another :D

I love singing this song & when I do, I sing both parts in extremely obnoxious and true to life voices! When Ricky used to come over to my dorm, we would sing this song in my dorm, but now I just sing it solo, so I'm surprised ANY of my roommates would even consider living with me again next year. Especially since they wouldn't appreciate where this song came from, but maybe my voices are so fantastic that it's well worth it :D

I have never seen this musical, but after listening to this song, as well as "It Sucks To Be Me," another song I love singing to, I have vowed to watch this musical in its entirety at some point in my life.

Plus, the amount of videos of TV shows and animes that I love to this song are so plentiful, that I could listen to this song multiple times and always enjoy it, even if I can't sing to it. Like I didn't right now, because Roommates are sleeping.. but I really had to refrain myself :P

SONG #14 = A SONG THAT REMINDS YOU OF YOUR BOYFRIEND.

Well, this song works for a plethora of reasons <3

I am pretty violent at least jokingly; when I'm in love, I become like a completely different person and I want to spend all my time with them, because of how they make me feel; I often can't describe my feelings eloquently, so I act out passionately with my feelings, which to normal people makes it appear that I'm "overreacting"; the words I say are not always beautiful and flowery, but I mean well; I'm also quite the stereotypical female romantic in the fact that I fall in love very easily & when I fall, I fall hard.

It also helps that I really like singing along with this song and whenever I get those little butterflies, this song races through my head. I really love this song and listening to it always makes me think of one person in particular, so my smile stays affixed on my face in its usual goofy fashion :D

SONG #13 = A SONG THAT REMINDS YOU OF A FORMER FRIEND.

By The Dresden Dolls ^^

I think the word former has negative connotations, so I'm going to treat this as a fizzled out friendship that could pick up again if both parties committed to picking it back up. I'm not going to name drop, but we used to go to Coconut Point together all the time and one time on the way over she played this song. I loved it and since hearing it, I've downloaded it and listened to it to the point of insanity.

But seriously, who wouldn't want a coin operated boy? This song makes a very good argument. I'm curious to know how other people feel about the song :D

By the way, I was dead-set on putting the music video up, but for some reason I wasn't able to obtain the code for it, which makes me sad. I hope you guys don't just stare at the blinding green font of the lyrics.. why anyone would use lime green as a color is beyond me!

SONG #12 = LAST SONG YOU HEARD.

After a nice drive back to my dorm from my house, this was like the perfect cool down song <3 I sing all of the songs, but with this one, I actually make an X while singing the lyrics for an obvious reason.

This is the shortest song blog ever..

SONG #11 = A SONG ON THE SOUNDTRACK OF YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE.

Favorite movie... favorite movie...

Well it wasn't too hard after searching around YouTube enough. I picked this because I accidentally ran into the song that makes me cry (song #16) and this SUPER EFFECTIVELY cheered me up =]

This has been my favorite movie since childhood, 1993 specifically. I'm not sure what made my parents buy this VHS to begin with, but I'm so glad they did. This movie opened up so many doors for me and has made me who I am today! Strong words, I know, but it's painstakingly true. Even hearing the music fills me with the same whimsical childlike feeling that I experience every time I watch this movie. I can assure you when I do finally meet Totoro I will hug him SO MUCH!! :D

But seriously, look at Hisaishi's face when the song is over. That's the smile this movie always gives me. If you've never seen this movie, I highly suggest you do =]

SONG #10 = A SONG FROM YOUR FAVORITE BAND.

This really isn't fair, considering P!ATD just released a new CD and I'm in love with so many of their new songs. It also doesn't help that I'm so wishy-washy when it comes to picking a favorite anything.

Okay, I can't decide. So I'm picking one from their new CD and I'm so entirely obsessed with this song right now. I wanna quote the hell out of it whenever I get onto Facebook. It takes all of my power just to refrain from doing so :P

Just everything about it, it's the last song on their CD & the first song was "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" hence why Mona Lisa randomly gets allusioned to at the end of it. It's just amazing. The whole CD, all of it. I want to post ALL OF THE SONGS! :D <3

SONG # 9 = A SONG THAT MAKES YOU HOPEFUL.

God, I love this song. I love everything about it and much like with every single song I've posted, there's always a story behind it.

I had my iTunes set up on the family computer, since I didn't get my own until college, so my dad was always fiddling around with Limewire and downloading music onto it that I wouldn't normally listen to. Among his selection of Queen, Stray Cats, Guns N' Roses and Gwen Stefani was this 80s band called Tesla. He downloaded a handful of their songs, but this one song in particular was dedicated to me, as he put it.

Me, being a silly 16 year old teenager, shook it off saying, "yeah, whatever, Dad. I'll listen to it," when I really had no intention of giving it a shot. You know how those moments go. So he kept pestering me about it, I kept putting it off, then he sat me down and we listened to it.

He told me to really listen to what the song was saying and at the end of the song told me that no matter what happens to me later in life that love will always be there for me, because I'd always have him and mom if I ever couldn't handle something. I wasn't able to appreciate the lesson for what it really was, but looking back on it, I'm so glad that my dad shared this song with me.

Listening to the song and thinking back on that always gets me teary eyed, but I'll never lose that glimmer of hope that love lives on no matter what pain you experience <3

SONG #8 = A SONG THAT REMINDS YOU OF YOUR "FIRST LOVE".

#sigh.

When I was younger, even back in pre-k when I was 5, I was QUITE attracted to boys. Even at that age, I was swooning over how boys acted around me, which has fed the never-ending cycle where I have difficulty differentiating between being nice and actual feelings. Because the lines are always blurred, I just assume I am as attractive as a pile of manure. Way too many times did I get overly worked up about a guy, just to find out that I was only a friend or "one of the guys". I wasn't the pretty princess growing up, but rather the tomboy who wore mismatched clothes because I didn't give a shit.

So, I've liked a lot of guys, but I guess there was one in particular who could fit the bill of a "first love". I liked this guy from kindergarten until 5th grade and I probably would have still liked him from that grade on, but he moved without telling anyone during the summer before 6th grade. He was like my best friend and we'd invite each other to our birthday parties and we'd talk on the phone with each other even when we were in kindergarten. My mom always reminds me of how during a conversation I was having with him, I put the phone down (it was corded back then. How retro!) and asked my mom if it was okay to marry him, she laughed and said yes.

I got a marriage proposal, but then when he moves, he doesn't even tell me. Needless to say, I was upset. Years later though, he found me on Myspace and then through IMing him, I found out that he didn't even like me. He liked someone else during that WHOLE span of years, which even though I was much older when I found this out, it was still devastating to know I wasted that part of my life pining for someone who I thought also liked me.

But, back to the blog at hand, this was how I felt about this kid.

I still have this naive image of love, even when I've been proven the opposite each and every time. Sometimes I think something is wrong with my brain or my heart to make me act so idiotic..

SONG #7 = A SONG THAT REMINDS YOU OF THE PAST SUMMER.

Well, it's not necessarily my past summer, but still. This is, for me, the very heart of summer. Just hearing it makes me want to go to a pool and swim/laze around; it doesn't help that the weather has been gorgeous enough to make me want to do so, regardless of music playing.

Here comes the most embarrassing part of this post, so if we could refrain from judgment that'd be nice. This song reminds me of the Mary-Kate & Ashley movie called "Holiday in the Sun," which I was obsessed with. Quite frankly, I was obsessed with all of their movies and books and I still have some of them in my room. This song played in the movie, which took place in the Bahamas, which is probably as close as I will ever get to seeing/meeting them.

And this is why when people come to my house, I do not invite them into my room. Not because I'm inhospitable, but because I have embarrassing things strewn about my room that when found, I cannot explain why they are STILL there. I just like holding onto things, I guess.

SONG #6 = A SONG THAT REMINDS YOU OF A BEST FRIEND.

Now the story with this is kind of odd, which then again, most of my friendships are, so it makes sense.

If only I could remember the year this happened, but it was one year at summer camp - I was 14, because it was the year after I "dated" Cowboy, so I guess the year was 2005. Regardless, we had just been utterly defeated at the flag football tournament and I just had an extremely awkward moment with Cowboy, in which he shook my hand to show good sportsmanship? I don't know. It was weird and I didn't enjoy seeing him, so I was grouchy, kind of like how I am at this moment.

But then while I'm walking to the restrooms/water fountain, someone popped up next to me, singing this song from beginning to end. I thought it was so random and bizarre, but I couldn't help but laugh. I hadn't really talked to this guy before, and here he is singing, "I Will Survive". You try being in a bad mood when that happens!

So I'm walking, he's singing and dancing around me while doing so, and once I got to the water fountain, which was surrounded by other teens from different camps and camp counselors, he was STILL singing and dancing. Not once was he embarrassed to be singing it and not once did he lower his volume, so I started to sing along with him when I actually knew the lines confidently.

It was the start of a beautiful friendship and he's still one of the greatest guys I've ever met. He's always doing this sort of stuff to make me smile & I don't think I can ever repay him for the many times he's cheered me up. I bet he doesn't even remember this happening <3
