getting this one out of the way

I've been meanin to do this for a while...it's been on my "back-burner" to do list.

anyways, i always put my ipod on shuffle so i never know the next song. i know i know i'm so adventurous. but every once in a while a song comes up that really makes me think about something. then today as i was walking back to the dorm, one of those random songs popped up. since i have some free time, i've decided to finally make my list.

let's see

1) So Contagious - Acceptance
i remember back in high school susan lee would always ask me to burn cd's for her. she would give me lists and lists of these punky-kinda bands. i would get the songs, and put them on a cd. at first i was like, these songs SUCK. but then i grew into them. so susan lee has definately influenced my musical selection.

2) Fallin - Alicia Keys
I believe this was summer '07. i think this was the best summer at home i've ever had - the most fun. it was the summer before senior year. if you go to my facebook you can see the video of jr singing this song. along with daniel doing the violin...

3) Barbie Girl - Aqua
haha i HAVE to put this one up. no questions asked. my parents bought a kareoke machine and this is one of the songs that i always sang. even my parents loved Aqua.

4) Walk Down This Mountain - Bebo Norman
I remember Teen Bible Fellowship (TBF) and one season, for bible study we watched this christian reality television show. this was the song that played at the beginning and end of each episode. the tv show wasn't that great but this song...was great.

5) There's Always Someone Coolor - Ben Folds
i listened to this song when i went to LA with my sister. and everytime i did, i would be like "hey unnie listen to this part of the song" and it was the chorus - there's always someone cooler than you. haha i'm sucha punk.

6) Still Fly - Big Tymers
this song i listened to in middle school - when i just listened to rap because it was the cool thing to do. i didn't know what they were talking about and mostly mumbled this.

7) Three Little Birds - Bob Marley
this song reminds me of Belize - my ASB trip Spring '09. everytime we got on this school bus, the bus driver would blast his music - he only had one playlist. he always played Bob Marley though, and this was my first real time that i had listened to a bob marley song and actually appreciated it.

8) Ms New Booty - Bubba Sparxxx
This song reminds me of Sally Park. because i always make fun of her for smelling lustful. in addition, sally just reminds me of m-fuge - bruises.

9) I Will Follow You Into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie
I remember being in Religion class my senior year of high school. the teacher - Mr. Dinkenor told everyone in the class to bring in one song - one song that represented you. i didn't choose this song, but someone else did. this song was the gateway to me listening to death cab, postal service, benjamin gibbard, etc.

10) Can You Feel the Love Tonight - Lion King
This is my trademark song. the song i sing to make a happy atmosphere. Reyonsa, Mexico - i rocked this song out!

11) Lose Yourself - Eminem
Wasn't this song on 8 Mile. 8 Mile was the first and last movie that i've ever snuck into with this girl named Raneem in middle school. afterwards i memorized it. i'm pretty sure with some practice i can spit this junk out.

12) Never Say Never - The Fray (Actually any of the new album)
i listened to this album before it got popular. which makes me cool. but this album is what i listened to during belize in the bus when i didn't feel like listening to the bus drivers music. even now when i listen to this, i can actually picture myself on the bus looking out the window to the world of Belize. Belize was my first big challenge in college. because i signed up for this trip not knowing anyone and not knowing what i was getting myself into. i came back with great friends, a great awakening for the environment and more confidence - because of all the work we had to do that i didn't know i had in me.

13) Tracks of My Tears - Gavin Degraw
In the beginning theres a couple of lines i really feel relates to me. i guess all these songs in essential, i feel. but afterwards i had a stint with gavin degraw. i remember i would sing this to Pauline Ro.

14) Faith - George Michael
I sing this at the beginning of nrb. nuff said.

15) Dear Jamie...Sincerely Me - Hellogoodbye
Again, i listened to hellogoodbye before they were popular - because i always enjoyed knowing bands others didn't. this song was my gateway song into bands like the format and more hellogoodbye songs.

16) I Walk the Line - Johnny Cash
after watching walk the line, i kinda had a heart for Mr. Cash. not a crush, just his music. walk the line is one of my favorite movies b tee dubs.

17) Say It Aint So - Weezer
I have listened to this song over 1000 times. it's not in anyway my #1 song. but it was. it has a lot of meaning to me because it was at a time where i was just disappointed with friends, i think it was my senior year - summer. busting a couple of people for drinking.

18) Nothing Better - The Postal Service
i listened to this song a lot last year. i found out yoona shin liked it too and that was when i was like hmmm i should be friends with her because i had no idea she listened to american music
so it was safe to be friends with her.

19) Wait a Minute - Pussycat Dolls
haha they just say this one line that always cracks me up - "why you be buggin like i'm some kind of hoe" hahahaha i shared this with Dianne Kim. she agreed at the time

20) Relient K
Jennifer and Rebecca Lee i have to admit yall kind of pushed me into any relient k song. i remember 10-12th grade. i listened to relient k every morning before school to pump me up!

21) Filled With Your Glory - Starfield
i think we heard them at aquire the fire? not sure, but it was one of those conferences. just a good band overall.

22) Never the Same - Starting Tuesday
i saw them at TYF haha...tyf...but yeah. got me hooked on some Starting Tuesday. i remember alicia lee actually gave me the cd.

wow i only meant for 4-5 songs. but i just looked through my itunes. i had more but i didn't want this to be too long.
