I don't know what inspired me to do this, but I'm going to make a list of songs that I'm really into right now. Some are old favorites that I just happen to be feeling a lot lately, and some are newly discovered ones. Either way, this is what I pick out on my iTunes lately when I'm not just leaving it on random.
Hook by Blues Traveler
Download this one and look up the lyrics. I love the way it sounds and the irony in the words.
Ain't Talkin' by Bob Dylan
The lyrics are okay, but I mostly like the way it sounds. It's kind of mysterious.
All About Soul by Billy Joel
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I absolutely love the words and I feel like he chose the perfect music to express them. This is one of those songs that makes the entire world disappear from my mind when it's on and has the ability to make me cry sometimes.
Warehouse (live from Central Park) by Dave Matthews Band
Great song, and I love the audience participation in this particular recording.
Do Something by The Eagles
This latest Eagles album is generally filled with corny lyrics and so-so music, but I really like this one song. It seems real and easy to relate to.
For My Lover by Tracy Chapman
Another old favorite. I love love love this song. It's so full of emotion and conviction.
Lights by Journey
I'm ashamed to say that I have known and loved this song for many years, but only recently realized that it's Journey (thanks to Sirius radio). I don't know why I never knew that... I mean, it sounds exactly like Journey. Anyway. Great song.
Mellow Mood by Bob Marley
I love his worn-out voice in this song. The words are believable and I admire his talent for making his songs not all sound the same. Damn him for letting himself die. He is probably the #1 dead musician I wish I could bring back to life.
Speaking of music, I'm so happy our car came with free Sirius radio. It's really cool to hear all these songs you've always known all the words to but never knew the name of the song or artist. And it's awesome for exposure to new music. I love the reggae station because, really, how the hell are you supposed to find and learn about reggae artists in this country? Hardly anybody listens to it. I mean, you could go type in "reggae" in the genre box on Limewire and see what you get back, but you have no idea who's good or popular. And may I just say that channels 14 & 15 are the best things ever? Classic Vinyl and Classic Rewind. Vinyl is classic rock from the 60's and early 70's, and Rewind is the late 70's and 80's. And while I hate when anything that was released after the late 70's is called "classic rock," they play really good music from between "classic rock" and "90's." Oh, and speaking of 90's, they have a station called Lithium that's all 90's alternative, and it's awesome. It's pretty much all the 90's songs that weren't teeny bop or rap. Anyway. I highly recommend satellite radio. That's the main point here.
Oh, and something funny. There's a little screen in our car that tells you the name of the artist on one line and the name of the song on the line below it. But if the name of the song is too long, it just cuts it off instead of scrolling or anything so you can see the whole name. Sometimes this makes for very immature (but very funny) moments in the car. Like on the way up north last month, it said "WHO'S GONNA RIDE YOU" and we couldn't stop laughing. We even took a picture of the screen. The other day, it said "I CAN'T GET YOU OFF" and the same silly laughter and picture-taking ensued. For the record, the actual names of the songs are "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" and "I Can't Get You Off My Mind." Haha.
When was the last time you were told you were cute?
I dunno, sometime within the past few days.
What was the last drink you had?
7up.
Look at your recent calls, who was your last call from?
Aunt Karol.
What is bothering you right now?
Lots of things.
What does your last received text message say?
"Hey everybody, it's Dorothy and this is my new # so save it :)"
Last place you went out to eat? Who with?
Does Taco Bell count? If so, last night, with Josh. I honestly don't remember the last time we went to a real restaurant.
What're you doing tonight?
Just hangin out with the future hubby and our girls.
What was the last voicemail you received about?
My mom just told me to call her when I got it.

Several.
What are you most looking forward to tomorrow?
Nothing in particular.
Do you think your last ex deserves to die?
No.
Last night, did you go to sleep smiling?
I don't think anyone does that. When you get really tired and start to fall asleep, all your muscles relax.
Did you have a good day yesterday?
Yep. We took the dogs to an off-leash park. They acted like idiots, especially Nalo (who drank around six gallons of water and made herself throw up), but it was still fun. We found out Penda has a very good recall. And my mom surprised me with a bunch of new school supplies. Haha.

Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?
Yep.
What were you doing 30 minutes ago?
Looking at colleges.
Last restaurant you went to?
Taco Bell. Haha.
Did you have an exciting last weekend?
It was pretty good. We went and played board games with Whitney and Angela at like 12:30am on Saturday night and had a great time. Then dog park yesterday.
Have you ever crawled through a window?
Hahaha. Josh and I would've hardly ever seen each other when he lived at his parents' if I didn't crawl through his basement bedroom window all the time. I mean seriously at least 50% of nights.
What do you spend most of your money on?
Bills.
Do you like yourself?
Mostly. More and more all the time.
What's something that can always make you feel better?
Well, nothing works every time. But as long as it's not Josh that's upsetting me, Josh can make me feel better about 99% of the time. He's really good at that.
Did your parents spoil you as a child?
Somewhat.
Do you still have pictures of you & your ex?
I'm sure there are pictures somewhere of me with exes. Although they're probably all at my mom's house, so I guess not technically.

The last song you heard?
Sunshine of Your Love.
Do you still talk to any of your exes?
Very rarely. I don't contact any of them, but sometimes one will say something to me online or something.
If you had to eat 1 thing for the rest of your life, what?
I cannot answer this question.
When was the last time you talked to your number 1?
About a half hour ago.
Has your number 1 on your friends ever made you cry?
Yes.
How do you feel about abortions?
Mixed.
Do you eat junk food everyday?
No.
How late did you stay up last night and why?
Til about 4:30 because Josh and I were having a very extensive conversation.
What's the connection between you and the last person you texted?
He's my brother.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's the greatest thing that happened to you today?
Josh and I took James to the zoo. It was really great. He's my 7-year-old cousin and I usually only see him when we're at a family function, and being around that many people, especially a couple specific people, makes him uncomfortable, so he clams up and hangs out by himself. So I love when I get to see him outside of that situation because he opens up, and he's so cute and funny and smart. And I loved that he called and asked me specifically to take him to the zoo. It was a warm fuzzy feeling.
Tell me about the shirt you're wearing?
It's one of Josh's old baseball shirts from Tiffin.
Whats currently bothering you?
A few situations.
What do you currently hear?
Shawn Mullins.
When was the last time you had your hair cut?
June 2nd.
When were you last outside?
About 2:00.
Are you wearing shorts?
Nope.
Does the thought of marriage scare you?
Nope, I'm really excited.
What are you doing today?
Nothing tonight, just hanging out.
What time did you go to sleep last night?
4:30.
When is your Birthday?
June 3rd.
The way to win your heart?
You can't, it's taken. =)
What are you going to do this weekend?
Brooks & Dunn with ZZ Top on Saturday with Josh, mom, and hopefully Ian. And I feel like I have something to do on Sunday, but I can't remember what it is. But if that's not the case, my Aunt Karol wants everyone to go out to Kensington or something for the day.
Were you happy when you woke up today?
Of course, I was going to the zoo with two of my favorite guys. =)
Would you ever donate blood?
I've tried four times. Twice I was anemic, once my blood pressure was too low, and last time they didn't have small enough needles for my tiny veins. But I'll try again.
Has anyone ever mistaken you for a family member?
Just on the phone. I sound just like my mom.
Do you have reason to smile right now?
Sure.
What do you do when you're stressed out?
Depends.
Would you honestly say you'd risk your life for someone else?
Yes.
Do you open up to people easily?
Yes and no.
Has anyone upset you in the last week?
Yes.
What is the last pill you swallowed?
I don't remember.
What was the first thing you thought this morning?
Yay, zoo!
Where is the person you like right now?
Joshie's in the bedroom.
Do you care of what people think of you?
To a point.
Who was the last person you took a picture with?
I'm not sure, actually.
Do you hate smokers?
No, but I'm surprised at how much it bothers me to smell like smoke now. I only quit just over a month ago. It really proved to me what everyone had been saying about how you don't notice how much it stinks if you are the one who's smoking.
Is it hard for you to get over someone?
I don't have to worry about that.
Something you do a lot?
Work.
Last person you cried in front of?
Josh.
Have you ever been to a tanning bed?
A couple times in high school.
Does anyone hate you for no reason?
I'm sure they have their reasons.

Every day.
What are you stressed out about?
Money and friends.
Whats your favorite season?
I like them all.
What was your favorite grade?
I don't know.
Do you know anyone who would just drop everything to come see you?
Not really.
Are any of your friends pregnant?
Not any close friends.
Favorite number?
8.
Ever been in love?
Yep.
When you watch movies at home, do you like the lights on or the lights off?
Off.
Are you wearing make-up?:
Nope.
What's the last thing you said and to who?
"Love you too" to Josh.
Can you whistle?
Yes.

I kind of want a tattoo. But I dunno if I'll ever go through with it.
Do you sleep on your stomach?
Sometimes.
