Wake me When It's Over

My brain has gone under meltdown the past three days. It's a wonder that any of the stored information I crammed for finals was retrievable through my fogged head. Needless to say, I've been sick all week. I no longer want to take my throat out with a fork, but it's pretty close.

I'm going home tomorrow, so you'd think there are a million things I could be doing: cleaning, packing, doing laundry, studying for my last final...but unfortunately I can't seem to get the desire to do any of it. All I seem to want to do is read an old favorite in bed with some hot chocolate.

I've seen these things before, where you put your itunes on shuffle and whatever song comes up is supposed to answer your question, but a few actually worked. Others make no sense whatsoever. Here is the list, along with my commentary...

Opening Credits: Two Worlds-Tarzan Movie
I suppose that this song confirms my Dad's joke about one of us girls being adopted.

Waking Up: Jasmin-Yui Makino-Tsubasa Chronicle
A japanese anime song, it is actually very lively, something I would listen to while getting ready in the morning.

First Day At School: Marian the Librarian
I think this song implies that I'm a nerd, but I'm not!

Falling In Love: Save me from myself-Christina Aguilera
I really like this song. It does tend to come off like the person's suicidal, but I think really they are saving them from their own doubt and self-condemnation.

Fight Song: The Beat of My Heart-Hilary Duff
I really like the part where it says "I want you to see I'm not scared to dance." I think this song works!

Breaking Up: Thank You-Simple Plan
Though not too familiar with this particular song, I love Simple Plan, and I interpreted that this "Thank You" was actually quite sarcastic. Perhaps these boys need to listen to some more upbeat music....

Prom: Finale-The Secret Garden
Um...what? Though now that I think of it, our Prom's Theme was "Midsummer Night's Dream" and we had these fake trees so...it's kind of related, right?

Life's OK: Precious Savior, Dear Redeemer
A beautiful instrumental song (it's the accompaniment CD for my vocal class), it invokes peace, which is exactly what is needed when life isn't going so well. It is to the Savior, after all, that we look to for hope.

Mental Breakdown: Yakusoku-Ami, PGSM
One of my Japanese songs, I don't actually know what it's about, but it does not appear to be a breakdown kind of song....

Driving: Iowa Stubborn
I would never sing this song in the car or while driving. Ever.

Flashback: Stand-Rascal Flatts
I suppose you could think of this song when you need inspiration to do something, and you remember a time when you were brave.

Getting Back Together: Nothing Wrong-LDS P&P
Coincidentally, I think this song is played at the end of the movie (It's the reprise) when all the couples are together.

Wedding: Go Away From My Window- Folk Song Book
Uh huh....

Birth of Child: Piano Lesson
This is probably symbolistic of how I will end up with a daughter just as stubborn as me, in payment for how I was with my mother.

Final Battle: Home to Stay-Josh Groban
Oooh! I want to stay home with Josh Groban!

Death Scene: 7/10/02 Benton Paul
I don't really know what this song is about, but...it's sounds nice, so that's good...right?

Funeral Song: Steady as she goes-The Raconteurs
...huh?

End Credits: Wedding Celebration and Bottle Dance, Fiddler on the Roof
Right...I think I have too much weird music that keeps coming up.


Well, that was fun, but I'm rather hungry for dinner. That's probably something I can force myself into.
