Dance your life away

Aug 25, 2010 00:39

So I spent the weekend in Sand Diego with the folks to watch the Cowboys kick some Charger butt! It was a fun time seeing family, but once again I am reminded that alcohol and my family don't always mix well....
-_-;

On Sunday I moved into a new apartment with yamikonumber7 and our friend Kristin. I have to say that it was really sad leaving my cousin and her roommate's place, but it's time I found my own place. But it's even more sad because at some point, and I'm not sure when, but I started leaving my travel hat at home instead of taking it with me all the time, which is what I had decided to do until I found "a place of my own to hang it up." I'm not sure if it was because I started having to do my hair before going to work, or if it was because I genuinely felt at home with them. In any case, I donned my hat again and drove down to meet with my new roommies, who hat been working literally all day to get everything inside. IBy the time I had gotten there most of the work was already done. I felt bad, but I paid for pizza, so I hope that counts for something. Anyway, the first thing I did after saying hello was officially put my travel hat back down. I've finally found a home! I'm not a vagabond any more! Plus, now I can let it stay at home and only take it out for real adventures again!

Oh, I've also been scheduled to work at my new job "indefinitely." Don't know if that means the place I'm working will want to hire me themselves any time soon, but it means I'll be making a steady paycheck again!

So, yeah, I'm a few days behind the music meme...

A song that you listen to when you're happy

I don't know what it is about this song...it's so delightfully cheesy! I love the guitar, but I think a lot of my love for this song is nostalgia. This song happened to play at the end of a certain movie from my childhood, and I have to say that I've loved it ever since.

I can't listen to this song anymore...it's come up on a couple of my mixes and anytime I listen to it in the car I have to change it. It makes me so incredibly sad every time I listen to it. Forget what I said earlier about those other songs making me sad, this one straight up breaks my heart. I think it's not so much the song as it is the story behind the song. The original artist, Eric Clapton, wrote it after young his son died. And every time I hear this song I start to think about how horrible it must be for a parent to lose their child, and honestly I just can't take it. I love this song, I really do, but I need to be prepare before I listen to it. This is a nice version of it, especially with Josh Groban in there, but the original still breaks my heart every time.

A song you want to play at your wedding

This might just be because I'm extremely tired and can't think of anything else, but what could be better to dance to than a song where the chorus is "I love you." Maybe "Amazed," "Truly, Madly, Deeply," or any number of other love songs might be a better fit, but for right now this seems like a good choice. (Forgive the emo video, I couldn't embed the actual music video.)

A song to play at you're funeral.
I'm gunna go with a few for this one.

If were being serious, I've always liked this hymn:

If we're going to go the more fun route though("What? I'm not gunna eulogize myself!")...hey, funerals are supposed to be a celebration of one's life, right? If that's the case, everyone is required to have a dance party in my honor. Heed my request! Everyone, just dance!
