Wow. You have a 1,000 more songs than I have.
Does that make me miserable???

Are you from New England, too?!

NPW, !!!! Because of Funky Carter, yes? I say I live in “France,” but that’s just code for the land of supermarkets without white chocolate cocoa.

Dawg, oops. Sorry, got caught up in NPW’s question. I think only you can decide if you’re miserable… no?

I stole this one from her too–I’ve been wanting to do an iTunes meme since I got mine last year.
November 28th, 2007 at 12:31 pm
Yah, I really like this one. I did another one a while back that I think I stole from Avitable, but… this one is definitely different.

So, your keyboard is missing a few keys but some of your words have extra vowels. I love it when a plan comes together.
November 28th, 2007 at 1:54 pm
I have to compensate somehow for the lack of keys… right?
November 28th, 2007 at 2:50 pm
Billy Squier! I am so going to listen to that now – awesome!
November 28th, 2007 at 7:36 pm
40 Licks by The Rolling Stones – Woo Hoo! My favorite band EVER!!!!

Do you realize your Top 5 played songs heavily resemble your propensity to travel?
“Trip,” “Air,” “Cars” and “Cab.”
Not to mention “Run.”
Are you anxious? Java-jived? Ready to rumble?

Sybil, awesome.
Lisa, a very good band indeed.
Dan, your analysis of my highest played songs has given me pause. I do love to travel. Will think harder about this.
