my life's soundtrack

As of 6/24/08, these are my Top 25 most played songs according to my hot pink ipod. I have no musical talent whatsoever but I get really into my music. I like to jam & I like to sing. It’s interesting how the songs have shifted with the seasons of life. Some have remained my favorites over the years, some have shot straight to the top. Some are only on the list because I listened to them on repeat during a particular season. It’s a snapshot of where I’ve been and where I am. It may look like a really random list, but each one is a piece of the puzzle & is my life's soundtrack. The list will be totally different at the end of the summer & hopefully I’ll remember to document it two months from now when classes start.

1.This is my father’s world – Chris Rice’s piano version of the beautiful hymn
2.Watch me shine – Legally Blonde soundtrack. Best workout song.
