Project Music

Since November 14, 2009 I have been listening to every single song in my iTunes. I put all of my music into playlists and deleted over 1.5 GB of songs that I decided I hated. Now, nearly 4 months later, I am done!

However, I feel like I don't know how to listen to music. Listening to one artist or one album just seems weird to me. I have gotten so used to just listening to whatever was the next in line. I feel like I'm more open to music though, because instead of listening to whatever I want in the moment, I listen to anything. That could be good or bad. Who knows. Regardless, I'm done. And I'm so glad.

After listening to all of my music, I have grown to like a few people that I didn't originally like. Like such as:

The Feist.
She & Him.
The Perishers.
The Format.
The Weepies.

Which is funny because these are all artists Melodie LOVES. She has a great taste in music.

These are the artists that I loved before and love even more:
Regina Spektor.
Taylor Swift.
Michael Buble.
Sean Kingston.
Owl City.
The Carpenters.
Jason Mraz.
Elvis Presley.
Camera Obscura.

Artists that I still can't stand:
Maroon 5. barf.
Pretty much any whiny screamy boy band.
Jack Johnson. Sorry, just not my style.

Crazy Love




If anyone wants to get on my good side or just become my instant best friend, feel free to take me to the Michael Buble Crazy Love concert. That would be just fine with me. I'll even buy you a T-shirt.

Straight Back Chairs



I don't know why but when ever I sit in straight back chairs, I get unbelievably sick. It can be sitting in choir chairs for too long, sitting in the back seat of a car that is too straight up, or even just sitting on benches or bleachers. I hate it.

My Dream Last Night

Last night, I had a dream that I was on The Bachelor. It was finally my chance to have a date with him, but it was one of those 2 on 1 dates. Anyway, it was going to be with this season's Bachelor, Jake who looks like this:


He took us to K-mart to pick out outfits for him to try on. I know, what a fun date. Hahaha. Anyway, he slicked his hair back and parted it down the middle and for some reason, that made him look like a younger version of this:



He looked super creepy and weird. But I still liked him. So I would just keep my eyes shut while I would kiss him and talk to him. Hahaha, so weird. But so funny.

Childhood Memory




Yesterday, I had a very vivid childhood memory come back to my mind. We were all just sitting there as a family when all of the sudden my brother Jake grabs me and holds me down while my other brother Isaac comes and tickles my foot. It was the WORST. I hate having my feet tickled.

This makes me want to vomit.




I saw the commercial for this and I literally gagged. I cannot think of anything WORSE!
So, so sick.
