Sneak a Peak and the Soundtrack of my Life

Recently, I was reading one of the "soundtrack" questionnaires a friend of mine filled out on myspace. Gasp, the horror! Being forced to hit shuffle and trust to fate that your funeral dirge will be properly fitting and that no one will headbang to your wedding entrance. Anyway, I decided to go through my mp3's, CD's, tapes, and vinyls and choose the most meaningful songs.

These are, in essence, the truth about my youth. They have been projected through a less grumpy portal. Yes, I was a grumpy child. I still am, when I haven't had anything to eat all day, but that is a different story altogether.


Songs of Choice to Sing as a Small Child:
"Yesterday" by Paul McCartney/the Beatles
"Itsy Bitsy Spider" by Little Richard (Yes, it really exists!)
"Baby Beluga" by Raffi

Song that Defined My Elementary School Friendships:
"Wannabe" by the Spice Girls

Song that Forever Gave Me Unrealistic Expectations in Men:
"Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton

Song my Friends and I Tried Out With at the Talent Show:
"Tearing up my Heart" by N*Sync (NO SHAME)

First Slow Dance:
"What Hurts the Most" by Rascal Flatts
Yes, it took me until High School to pluck up the courage to even talk to a boy let alone dance with him. I'm still that scared, awkward teenager around the opposite sex.

Slow Dance that Caused Me to Listen to this Song on Repeat For a Week:
"Come Away with Me" by Norah Jones

First Kiss:
"Through the Fire and the Flames" by Dragonforce. A big "uh-oh."

First Kiss That I Wish Was My First Kiss:
"Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede. Interrupting my concentration in the middle of Reservoir Dogs pissed me off, but a good background choice nonetheless.

Future First Kiss:
"You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift. If you can stand that song, chances are I can stand you.

First Song I Used to Dream about Slow Dancing to:
"Here's to the Night" by Eve 6
"Swing Life Away" by Rise Against

First Song That Made Me Bawl Like a Baby:
"Your Guardian Angel" by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

First Song that a Guy Truly Ruined:
"One Day" by Genesis.

Recent Song That Reminds Me of Better Days:
"Blue Jeans & White T-Shirts" by The Gaslight Anthem

Song that I would sing Karaoke to:
"American Pie" by Don McLean. But I would sing the Star Wars version.

Song that I Share with my Best Friends:
"Don't Stop (Believin')" by Journey
