If my life was a movie, it would be a musical. I practice the air guitar and dance in my office way too often for it not to be. I'm hoping my life would be classified as more romantic comedy and less of a tragedy. I would be okay with a comedic tragedy, but tragedy alone? C'mon, I'm too funny for that.
The movie of my life would also include a pirate, at least one telephone montage and a cameo by Vince Vaughn (I feel we could be bff, if only given the chance). Figuring out the soundtrack took some time but it's finished. I resisted the urge to pick 'cool songs', and really stuck to picking songs that I felt really fit the time. I even worked at putting the songs in chronological order, because I'm nerdy like that. So in this tidy list of 28 songs are a few heartbreaks, a few loves, the discovery that I have fantastic friends, the loss of home due to a raging fire, a 'wild streak' and the realization that I'm finally learning things I thought I already knew. Music snobs (this means you Matt), don't email and ask (and hope) that there are a few typo's, there are not. The Pussycat Dolls are actually there.

I luv it!! And I'm not judging you for the PCD's- if they fit, they fit. Oh, and I luv that you have both specktor and arthur on there. awesome job!
what prompted 'criminal'? OOOHHH wait.. I Know!! ;)
What a fabulous idea. I need to figure out my own soundtrack.
I think it might be too hard though. I like too much music and would pick too many songs. No one would ever listen to it all.
*sighs*
I love your list though!
t- yes, you do probably know but you should never tell. And swsnbn, I completely understand not being able to cut down the song list. Choosing songs is like choosing children. And trying to choose my favourite kid out of 30 children is impossible. I love them all equally.
