Catchy Lyrics
October 30, 2007
I can predict in the near future that I will be out of money, all thanks to my new obsession with iTunes. I can’t help it! Any song I want for just 99 cents!?! Heck yes I’m going to buy 36 of them! Isn’t it better then buying a CD with one or two songs that I like for 20 bucks and hating the rest?
Here is what I bought yesterday alone;
- Hate That I Love You - Rihanna and Ne Yo
- Bubbly - Colbie Caillat
- Don’t Stop the Music - Rihanna
- Hot - Avril Lavigne (I totally know her cousin by the way)
- Walking Disaster - Sum 41
- Don’t Blink - Kenny Chesney
- All I Ever Wanted - Brian Melo
- Clothes Off! - Gym Class Heroes
- Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap
Then I forced myself to turn off my computer. Because I probably wouldn’t have stopped if I kept it on. I love all those songs, they all have catchy beats and lyrics. If you don’t have them, get them. If you don’t like them, smack yourself. I would totally be dancing right now if my back wasn’t killing me. But alas, it is.
Anyways, today I was absolutely exhausted. I almost fell asleep in my Human Growth and Development lecture. During the four hour break, I fought sleep and worked on my Psychology research paper questions. Finally, I knew I had to go home so I skipped out on my last class. I fell asleep waiting for the bus, and then again several times while on the bus. The second I got home, I went to sleep. Two hours went by so quickly and it felt like I had only closed my eyes before I woke up to Roomy’s mom calling. Then Mrs. Landlordy took me grocery shopping because I had like nothing to eat. I should have taken a picture of my refrigerator before I bought stuff, it was so empty except for moldy mushrooms, an old pop from A&W, pickles, and juice. Yah. Pathetic. But I stocked up on everything - including ice cream - so I’m set for the next while.
And I am actually going to try. I bought chicken, which I put in the freezer and plan on cooking when Nifty comes over on Thursday. Roomy and I are planning on having tacos tomorrow night, so I got the essentials for that. I’m improving. Although I did only have a tomato and cheese sandwich for dinner - I’m not feeling so great.
I spoke to my cousin Piglet tonight on the phone. She moved out of the province and in with her boyfriend of 7 months. She’s doing great. Piglet and I used to be really tight, and we saw a lot of each other growing up. I miss hearing from her, and since we’ve gotten older we haven’t really talked a lot. But it was good hearing from her tonight.
I’m thinking that I am going to go and visit her in Manitoba. I have always wanted to go to Manitoba, and all the other provinces in Canada. I think it would be really fun to go on an all out Canada road trip. I have family in British Columbia too, and a friend from the recreational group that I’m sure would offer me a place to stay while I toured BC. And seeing Piglet’s house (and meeting her boyfriend) would be cool too.
I really want to travel before I settle down. I don’t know how I would afford it, but I really want to do it. I’m so jealous because B1 is going on a vacation with her boyfriend. I want a vacation! Grr.
Anyways, I’ll leave you all with this one last thought…

< ![CDATA[Heya,
Nice post... I agree, it's hard not to get EVERYTHING at that price - if they had just been 99-cents a song all along, the record industry could have avoided the whole "piracy" problem.
Anywho, I'm obsessed w/lyrics and I came across your post and realized that a post about catch lyrics needs links to... the lyrics!
I went out and grabbed them for you:

< ![CDATA[Dangit! I messed up the links in the post, and I thought I posted a follow-up with the fixed links but it seems to be gone.
Can you add the "http://" to the beginning of the lyrics links for me? Thanks! :] ]]>

< ![CDATA[I like Rihanna's "Umbrella" song, but not the crappy remix she did with Chris Brown. Way lame. And I like her "Shut and Drive" song, too. I haven't heard of a couple of them...and home girl here doesn't do country.
Happy Halloween!
Are you dressing up? I'm doing Storm again this year. I posted some pics from previous Halloweens. Drop by if you get a chance.]]>

I am horrified, however, that Kenny Chesney is on there. Sigh.]]>

Amanda; ya I’ve liked what I have heard of their stuff, its gooood!
Celise; Nope I am not dressing up today; or tonight. I work at the group home tonight, and I don’t want to freak out any of the guys. But I will definitely stop by and check out the costume! I’m sure it looks great!
Wildbill; I buy so I can put them on my iPod and listen while I walk to the bus, or something…lol
Avitable; I know, it’s so sad
I spent forever looking for that video. Did you watch it?]]>

< ![CDATA[Your video almost gave me a heart-attack. I don't do well when things pop out at me. I need a second. Okay, now that my heart is done palpitating. I love Gym Class Heroes, but Clothes Off! has gotten slightly disturbing for me because there is nothing like having your mom constantly going around the house singing and dancing to it.]]>

< ![CDATA[iTunes is like crack.
Especially their collections.
Oh, the best Freestyle Songs for $45? Sure! Oh the best Breakbeat Songs for $45? …
It definitely adds up.]]>
October 31st, 2007 at 11:16 am
< ![CDATA[Avitable; ya well you’re country.
Kylah; sorry for the scare; but imagine watching THAT video at 11am when your drifting off to sleep during the lecture and your teacher randomly plays it. Ya. Luckily, I didn’t soil myself.
NYCWD; we should create a support group for people suffering from the same addiction as us.]]>
October 31st, 2007 at 8:52 pm
< ![CDATA[Yeah, iTunes is a really good way to get addicted to buying music lol.
..And I HATE that video... hehe. I've seen it at least 3 times before, and today is the first time that I caught myself and thought, "wait, this looks kinda familiar." :)]]>
October 31st, 2007 at 9:14 pm
< ![CDATA[KristinaQ; sorry to post a video you hate!!! And like I said…at least I’m not wasting money cause I’m only buying songs I like…right?]]>
October 31st, 2007 at 10:16 pm
< ![CDATA[Most definitely! Now if you were navigating iTunes blindfolded randomly clicking on songs, then that would be a definite waste, lol.
I changed my mind though.. it’s not that I hate that video, it just scares the shit out of me.]]>

< ![CDATA[Why the shit did I NOT see that one coming! Damn it!
*changing shorts now*
I'm with wildbill on the Pandora thing. That's a great site!
And I'm with Avi on Kenney Chesney. I can't stand country music anymore. I used to like the stuff, adored George Strait, but I canNOT listen to that shit anymore. Makes me want to cut myself.
You should check out the original "clothes off" from the 80's . . . very cheesey.
I'm loving Finger Eleven's new single; the lyrics are cool: "I'm not hypnotized, but I seem to be struck by you. I want to make you move, because you're standing still. If your body matches what your eyes can do, you'll probably move right through me on my way to you." Yeah, you should buy that one. And send it to me. Wait, I'll send it to you!!!! My husband already bought it. LOL!]]>

Vulgar Wizard; I live to present you with scary things. It is a fact of life. The Pandora thing is a good site, but like I said I like having songs that I like on my iPod to listen to anywhere and anytime. I actually already have Finger Eleven’s new song, I’ve had it for a while but thanks lol!]]>
November 4th, 2007 at 4:55 pm
< ![CDATA[Well, it's not like I have it saved on my computer and I watch it every day LOL ... It's more like every so often I'll get it in an email or something and I get tricked into watching it hehe]]>
November 5th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
< ![CDATA[KristinaQ; fair point!
And by the way WildBill; Pandora is restricted to people outside of the US.]]>
