I discovered this... okay well I saw it on facebook, when I really should have been doing my homework.. I suppose I really should show it to some guys but I thought y'all would enjoy it as well...


Ode to Nice Guys

Shuffled..

Wow, two posts in one day. I'm def steppin' it up.

So this is something silly I've been wanting to do for awhile... and at the moment, I have a moment or two, so here goes.

First ten songs that come up when my Ipod is shuffled (keeping in mind that this Ipod only holds 200ish songs):

"We Dance" (Once On This Island) ~ Opening from musical I teched for this fall.. oh, dear..

"Here (In Your Arms)" (HelloGoodbye) ~ Oh, so mellow.

"If Everyone Cared" (Nickelback) ~ Nickelback sounds like Hinder which sort've sounds like Daughtry who should've won American Idol.. but didn't.

"Away With The Summer Days" (Youngstown) ~ Princess Diaries... first CD I've bought, ah early 2000s.

"Fabulous" (High School Musical 2) ~ Oh, dear this is getting embarrassing.

"Accidentally In Love" (Counting Crows) ~ :)

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" (Mariah Carey) ~ Clearly have not updated this in a while.. It is the ultimate Christmas/holiday song though.

"Over It" (Anneliese Van Der Pol) ~ Exciting because the singer has my cousin's name. Also the perfect, angry/annoyed/moving on song.

"Can't Hate You Anymore" (Nick Lachey) ~ Another moving on/getting over it song.. weird...

"Superstar feat. Matthew Santos" (Lupe Fiasco) ~ This song is just plain addictive.

Hmm, so that selection completely does not represent me/my musical tastes. Fair enough. Coming soon.. another "currently on my ipod" post!

Celebrate!

It has been awhile m'dears. A million things (both good and bad) have happened and time slipped away, and I realized it's been forever since I've posted anything at all...
Today is Easter and last week was Passover. Even though I am Christian in name, I celebrated both this year. And found both to be meaningful and enjoyable in different ways. Passover more because of the company I spent it in, old friends who I'd forgotten how much I love/miss (but I now remember!). And Easter because I got to see how different members of my family like to celebrate. Because for me Easter (or Passover for that matter) is not about what some holy text says happened around this time. It's about how you chose to spend the day. How you chose to celebrate!

My mum, for instance, sings a certain hymn every Easter. Loudly. If not at church than at least in the car.

My grandparents go to their Universalist Unitarian church, where they sort've celebrate everyone!

Without fail, I will do an egg hunt, which for me isn't even a Christian practice, it's a thank-goodness-it's-supposed-to-get-warmer-slash-oh-my-gosh-we-survived-the-winter kind of tradition.

Easter for me, doesn't mean church or singing, it means watching Godspell (fabulous musical whether you are religious or not.. which I'm not) and seeing my family.

Your own Easter/Passover/Springtime/anything else I'm forgetting traditions?

It's easy to get caught up in what you don't have. I certainly have lately. Or in trying to conform to a certain religion or tradition. Right now the sun is shining and I am not without hope that tomorrow, while it may be insanely busy, will not be brutally cold. And that in and of itself is reason to celebrate.
