Day 11

IPOD SHUFFLE TIEM!!

I love this sort of thing, cause its what I do anyway - I have playlists but they're also on shuffle, so I never listen to the same songs in a row. For this though, I'm using my whole music library, this could get interesting.

1. Do You Wanna Date My Avatar - The Guild. ROFLMAO, seriously, I heard this song for the first time when my best friend decided that I needed to learn about the Guild. I had just started playing WOW (World of Warcraft for those not so insanely geeky) and had spent about an hour deciding on my character. Very good memories!

2. Shine - Mr. Big. Oh I love this song, most people know it because it was on the radio for a while. I know it because its the ending theme to one of my favourite anime (Japanese Animation) Hellsing. The original series they started before the manga had finished and went in VERY different directions. There's something about this song, its so hopeful and heartfelt, I usually end up putting it on repeat.

3. Beer for my Horses - Toby Keith & Willie Nelson. Oh god, this song. It's one of those songs you just love, even if its only for the story line, the filmclip has Corin Nemac (Jonas from Stargate) in drag. But the song brings back some great memories of my heart-sib.

4.Simarik - Tarkan. This I found by accident reading a wonderful fic called Gypsy Caravan. I was hooked on the fic and decided to follow the links she's added. This guy is Hungarian and Zazie is French. Zazie is another of the recommendations for music from the fic. I love the light baritone and the accent will always do it for me. Hell any accent does it for me.

5. I kissed a Girl - Katy Perry. I had this song as my ringtone the day after it came out. It spent six months there with me and my friends giggling because my parents have no clue I'm bi and really did "kiss a girl and like it". Of course my ringtone is now "C is for Cookie" by the Cookie Monster, I'm not sure what that says about me.

6. Wicked Game (666 Remix) - HIM. This, despite being somewhat uncomfortably sexy, reminds me of working in Melbourne for 13moths. Up at 5.30, out the door at 0600, on the bus at 0630 and ont eh train at 0700. Start work at 0830, finish at 1630 on the train at 1709, the bus at 1830. Walk in the house at 1900 and collapse. They were very long, desperately trying days that I never want to repeat, but there is a sense of accomplishment to them, mostly because I had a great deal of fun in between.

7. A Thousand Words - Savage Garden. Oh this song is lovely. Another from the "Summer That Didn't End", I spent all four months of summer vacation at the second of my best friends house. It was actually a small winery, and we drank five bottles of their wine over the middle two months. It seemed such at lot at the time. Very innocent, my first kiss, my first time away from home for so long.

8. Sobakasu - Judy and Mary. This one reminds me of being 15 and just discovering anime, my best friend of the time and I had just sat up watching the last 7 volumes of Ruroni Kenshin (which this is the opening theme to) and had finished it at 0604. At 0637 her mum came in and demanded we get up and get showered so we could go to Daylseford for the farmers market. We were wrecked - we'd drunk about four litres of chocolate milk and hadn't slept since 7am the day before. God it was fun.

9. White Night Fantasy - Nightwish. Imagery, memories, my first boyfriend, my first girlfriend (sort of - I spent an entire year teasing and flirting with her and not realising it, don't ask LONG story). Possibly my favourite of theirs, its got such wonderful soaring notes and dark themes and yes it is considered to be an "emo" band. Its the perfect example of the type of gothic/metal/dark music I like. No screaming, a definite tune, solid but background base.

10. I'll Make a Man Out of You - Disney's Mulan. Oh god. I was addicted to this song the first time I watched the movie. I just love the montage of idiot and useless to competent warrior. It also brings back the memory of blaring this out the speakers of a nice car at 9pm in the middle of Melbourne. In that nice car were five women of a similar age belting out the words in surprising tune for the volume we were screaming at. ROFL, it was soooooo much fun. We had an entire playlist of Disney songs, Tarzan, Mulan, Beauty & the Beast, Lion King, Aladdin and well a lot of others.
