While browsing the Featured Blogs on the main Xanga page, I stumbled, quite by accident, upon David Crowder's xanga. He had posted asking you to put your computer, mp3 player, etc. on shuffle and comment with the first ten songs that pop up, no matter how embarrassing and no cheating. I decided it sounded cool enough to do so I scampered off to find my ipod with 2378 songs on it. The first ten songs were alright but I don't listen to half of them so I did a second list in which I skipped the ones I don't listen to. I posted both lists though. Anyways.....the point of the story is this: Actually, there's two points, here's the first: A song that popped up (after I posted) was Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles which immediately transported me back to the Village Player's Theater's stage, standing at the foot of a "dead" Hannah, during a mock funeral singing 'Here Comes the Sun' as a hippie and later a soldier with Johnny and others. Ah, good times. Oh, yes, the second point. The second point is that I was having way too much fun to stop at just ten random songs so I will post with a much longer list. I will post the songs I don't actually listen to but in italics.

O ya we did sing that didn't we. Haha. I almost wish all the improvs ever done by Encorers and Perform Iteers were taped and filed. Almost. There are some that are worth forgetting.
funniest part: all the songs in italics are the ones I listen to... except sixpence... fingers on a chalkboard if you ask me.
ho...ly COW!
Dot, I definitely didn't read all of those song titles. I know you'll forgive me, because my contacts are quickly drying out, and I need to get to bed so I don't catch the flu all of my coworkers have.
I promise to come back to your lengthy list.
p.s. how are you? =)
Ok, here goes round two! (this time I'm wearing my glasses and it's an hour earlier, so we're good to go, haha)
I know about 40% of those songs. I really like about 40% of the ones I know. I totally just pulled those percentages out of thin air, but they seem to fit pretty well.
My job's great! Except that all but two or three of my coworkers have had the flu sometime this week or last. Some people have been out with it for more than a week, and it's pretty nasty. As for me, I've taken Airborne three times a day, and have been going to bed early. So far it seems to be working, and I'm only showing allergy symptoms. Hooray!
