My Goodness. No memes ever, and now, suddenly, TWO memes. Both musically related. School is driving me crazy right now, so… enjoy! I tag anyone who wants in on anything. Everyone can play on my playground!
Here it is:
“List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what they are. They must be songs you are presently enjoying. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.”
My songs:
1. “Love Song for a Savior” – Jars of Clay.
She thanks her Jesus for the daisies and the roses…
2. “Like a Star” – Corinne Bailey Rae
Just like a star across my sky, just like an angel off the page,
you have appeared to my life…
3. “Chasing Cars” – Snow Patrol
Forget what we’re told, before we get too old…
4. “All The Same” – The Sick Puppies
I have the skill, yeah I have the will, to breathe you in while I can…
5. “I wish I was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in my Hair) ” – Sandi Thom
I was born too late, to a world that doesn’t care…
6. “Gabriel and the Vagabond” – Foy Vance
And the tramp started to cry, just sayin’ why why why… I’m 32, and I’ve one pair of shoes, and a bad taste in my mouth. I think it’s clear to see, that even God don’t love me…
7. “Orphan Girl” – Gillian Welch
I have no mother, no father, no sister, and no brother… I am an orphan girl. But when He calls me, I will be able to meet my family, at God’s table… No more an Orphan Girl…
If your life was film what would the soundtrack be?
So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your library. (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button.
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool.
7. When you’re finished, tag some other people to do it!

Funeral Song: World on Fire, Sarah McLachlan
Hearts are worn in these dark ages, you’re not alone in this story’s pages; night has fallen amongst the living and the dying… The world’s on fire and it’s more than I can handle
End Credits: Carolina In My Mind, James Taylor
In my mind I’m goin’ to Carolina, can’t you see the sunshine, can’t you just feel the moonshine, ain’t it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind… Yes I’m goin’ to Carolina in my mind… Say nice things about me ’cause I’m goin’…
Overall, it’s actually rather accurate.
Tag. Your turn!
The curious state of children’s clothing
March 29, 2007 · Filed under babies, sass it on home, social commentary
Does anyone remember being completely eager to be grown up enough to shop in the juniors department? I think that I was 12 or so before my mother let me shop in the Juniors section. Before that, it was the kid’s section at Wal*Mart, Lands End, and Thrift Stores. Rightly so. What 11 year old should be wearing what a 15 year old does?
None, in my opinion.
Today, I stopped by the mall to return a fancy dress, and I stopped in the kid’s department. Much to my dismay, I saw clothes that look like miniature versions of the clothes that I, a 22 year old college student, wear.
Seriously?
When did we stop dressing little girls like little girls and start dressing them like tramps? When did it become acceptable to put a 5 year old in a mini skirt and a halter top and HIGH HEELS?
What messages are we teaching our little kids when girls are sex symbols of the elementary school playground? What’s wrong with a pair of jeans and a sweater? Your child can be stylish and fun without dresing like a college freshman tramp who’s gotten drunk on freedom.
Good grief. Cover up, little one.
