On the meridian of time, there is no injustice: there is only the poetry of motion creating the illusion of truth and drama.

I wonder...

I wonder how any facets to my personality there are... and I wonder how any people really know most of those...

If I were to spontaneously transform into a musical... I would have to include...
(yikes... looking through iTunes now... realizing that I may have to include them all, lol, just to be fair.... this is not going to be easy.)

  • "Head Over Feet" by Alanis Morissette - Although there are a lot of songs for Aaron, this is my first song for him. Aaron's songs would also have to include "When I Met You" by Kenny Wayne Sheppard.
  • "Where's Your Head At" by Basement Jaxx - Lol, I think of all the songs that represent my goofiness, this is my favorite. I also love the music video for this song.
  • "When the Stars Go Blue" by the Coors, featuring Bono from U2 - I have several, several songs that immediately get me to close my eyes and sway, but this one...we go way back. This is Anne mood at it's finest.
  • "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac - for my ex-fiance... although I have a few more that dredge up those memories, including some NIN and even some Moody Blues.
  • "Dearest" from the anime series InuYasha - I know I already have an Anne mood song... but my life wouldn't be complete without my love affair with anime and just that feeling that this song inspires.
  • "Hurt" by Johnny Cash - I can't say that this is for any one specific moment of my life, but for all of those times that I left myself over-analyze myself into a hole. This song... like so many others... can instantly transform my mood, my perceptions.
  • "The Highwayman" by Loreene McKennitt - Ok, ok, This is another song that inspires my Anne mood, but this is THE Anne mood song. In Anne of Green Gables, Anne recites this poem, bringing everyone to tears. It is actually tied to the books/movies in addition to inspiring the mood, so it has to be included.
  • "Phenomenon" by Animal from The Muppets - For when I channel my childhood and that pure enjoyment of simplicity.
  • "Tonight and the Rest of my Life" by Nina Gordon - One of my all time favorite love songs.
  • "Hypnotize" and pretty much anything by System of a Down - Encompassing many political beliefs and viewpoints. As an earlier post showed, I'm not exactly a conservative, lol.
  • "Love to Love You" by Donna Summers - Everybody needs to have this song in their life's musical. In fact, lol, we should all sing it more often.
  • "Let Me Go" by 3 Doors Down - Ok, so this song isn't perfect for representing a certain aspect of my personality, per se, although I love the song, but it would try to represent how only a handful of people really know who I am and how different aspects of my personality are "real and make-believe," so to speak.
  • "Don't Let Me Get Me" by Pink - Although I was never the rebel girl in this song, I certainly battle with insecurity and a heaping dose of self-criticism.
  • "Daddy's Hands" by Reba McIntyre - On the surface, this song is about my relationship with Dad, him reading me bedtime stories, piling brush on the farm, even the horrible years during and after the divorce. It reminds me of working with Dad in the garage, working on the bandsaw or planer, and crawling like a billygoat all over the Sandrock on the farm. This song isn't just about Dad, but ultimately about so much that represents a part of my childhood.
Hmm... looking back at this list now, I know I'm missing so many elements that should be represented. But, for just a quick, off-the-top-of-my-head list, it's a decent start.
