I’ve never gotten tagged for a meme before! It’s kind of sick… but I feel special. {insert hearts here} Thank you malixe.

Eight songs I like. I can do that. I’m sure I will get mocked for it though because I have some really freakin odd taste in music. Oh… for the record the meme is: “List eight of your favorite songs and then ‘tag’ a similar number of people to do the same. Note that it does not have to be your eight *top* favorite songs, because I know some people who would give themselves a nervous breakdown trying to narrow it down to only eight. And I could be one of them…so just eight of your favorites.”

“American Pie” by Don McLean. I really like this song. I stole an album that had this song on it from Stephen during our relationship and I wouldn’t let him have it back when I moved out. (Hey–he got other things.) Yeah, this was picked first because Puppy and I have been trying to get the lyrics right in our head for a few days. Getting all those freakin verses in the right order is a bitch. (Have I mentioned that I am really happy that he will sing along when I start singing at night in bed? Dude. He rocks my world.)

“We All Sleep Alone” by Cher. I like this song. Given my absolute terror of sleeping alone it is actually fairly comforting for me. The first few nights I slept alone after moving out (it felt more scary sleeping alone in the new apartment than it had in Tom’s house) I would put this cd into my player and tell the player to play it like five times in a row. Then I could fall asleep. I like both the original version and the more modern version.

“Holes in the floor of heaven” by Steve Wariner. This song came out right around when my brother died. I have never bought the album because I know that when I am depressed I would put this song on and not leave my room for days. I have pulled off the road when I am driving when this song comes on because I cry so hard that I can’t see anymore. I think this song will always remind me of my brother and despite the fact that it is a beautiful, moving song I just can’t hear it much.

“Happy Girl” by Martina McBride. I really love this song. It is cute and bouncy and fun and I always feel cheered up. 🙂
“Oh watch me go / I’m a happy girl / Everybody knows / That the sweetest thing you’ll ever see / In the whole wide world / Is a happy girl”

“Tomorrow” by Avril Lavigne. I went through my obsessive Avril phase when things with Tom were kind of rocky, but not anywhere near the end. I remember that right after a driving trip with Max and Deborah we were back at our house… I don’t remember what was going on exactly. But I was in our bedroom folding laundry and Tom came in and promised something about the next day and this song came on. And I started singing along quietly with tears running down my face but I never looked up. Tom didn’t notice. He made his promise about the next day and left the room. Yeah, it didn’t happen. I don’t think I will ever be able to forget that moment. I really love the song. It is about more than just Tom though, it reminds me of my mother.

“Even Hampsters Fall in Love” by Hampton and the Hampsters. I fucking love the song and this list is too depressing, so here it is.

“Affirmation” by Savage Garden. I love it. “Trust is more important than monogamy” and “I believe that beauty magazines promote low self-esteem” how could anyone not love this song? Seriously.

“Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts. Yeah. I bought this album (I hardly ever buy cd’s) right as I started dating Puppy so it was living in my car on repeat during the first few weeks we were dating. This song was on when I stopped the car and we sat there singing along for another minute or so. He informed me that it was our song. 🙂 *sniffle*

Jesus Christ it is hard to stop there!!! 🙂 Songs good. Should I tag or just say “Do it if you want to.” Naw. I liked being tagged.

If you please… 🙂 (Obviously none of you have to, but I am interested in what you would put down.)
