My friend Christa did this on her blog and I decided I wanted to put a list together too. Some are songs that have had a significant impact on my life, and others I could just listen to on repeat forever.

Okay, love Divide Me. Such a good song. And I love Brick as well. Haha I bought the Ben Folds Five CD because I was driving in the car with my first 9th grade crush and he was listening to that song. So of course, I had to rush and buy that CD. I'm such a dork! I like your song choices!
I love that you put Celine in there :) I think you have a good mix. I also am a huge fan of Brick (and yes, it took me forever to find out it was about an abortion. I still like to think the girl chose not to do it--without telling the guy ("as weeks went by, it showed that she was not fine...")). I also think "This Will Be" is a song that helps put a bounce in your step! Homeward Bound just helps me to calm down (that and Consider the Lilies). I love Bless the Broken Road (my problem is not the country...it's the fact that it's Rascal Flatts--grrrrrr). I also like When I Fall in Love, but I prefer Celine's and Clive's version (obviously). I Will Always Love You (this movie was on television and I never got to see it all the way through...just the end). Anyway, now that I've written a novel...Good list!!!!!
i didn't think i did...oops! i'll fix that asap so you can get to writing your papers.
Scar Tissue is my favoritest song. I'm happy you like it.
