So much to talk about, so little space to do it in. And I refuse to talk about things that upset me here. This is after all my happy place, yes? Haha! This is not my happy place. This is my refuge from the evil world that has decided that I need to be constantly reminded about how crappy I am! Things are just not working out well for me right now. I am not sure when things will improve but they have to at some point, right?
Anyway, my 30th birthday is coming up, one week to go. I have no idea what I want but I keep getting asked. Of course I told Pete I want either The Tudors, season three, or the Avatar game for my loverly xBox 360. We shall see what I get, either way I would be very happy. I have already gotten myself all of Firefly, Twin Peaks, and the first season of True Blood. There are still so many shows I need to get to make my collection complete. I just seem to enjoy my television to come on a dvd, then I can control when I watch it and can pause when I need too.
I keep telling myself I will sit down and start a weekly blog post of songs I recommend. I keep putting it off though. There are so many songs I think everyone needs to listen too. I will get around to it eventually.
The paths that lead you through my mind are winding and apparently even I get lost when trying to navigate them.
When you wake up in the morning do you feel happy? What are your first thoughts? Are you thinking of what you need to do that day, your goals for the day? Or do you think about a certain person? I wonder about people. I mean, I am just curious about how people think. The way people think fascinates me, but I think that it is mostly because I seem to think differently. I just don’t think like other people, and I definitely don’t act like other people.
My new class started this week and so far it feels like it will be a good class. It is my last education based class, after this one it is all history classes and one psych class. I had to pick some electives and I decided to make all but one history classes. It will specialize me and make teaching history that much better. I picked the abnormal psych because well I figured it would help since I want to teach high school students. They are the hardest students to reach, in my opinion.
I sit here day in and day out thinking of all kinds of things I would love to blog and yet I never do. I have all these opinions on things that I read but I never sit down and write them. I either let other things or people distract me. I am sure if I would focus more I would be able to sit down and write more but I am sadly not motivated, haha. I will get around to being thoughtful and come off as smart some day. For now you all can think of me as the flighty, air headed Danielle. I promise I will surprise you if we ever have a real conversation.
Anyway, I think I will finally get to the ten top songs that are in constant rotation for me on my play lists. Music plays such a big role in my life. I have it everywhere and I am always in search of new bands, new sounds. I am always in need of new things to play in my Second Life DJ shows, so if anyone reading this has any suggestions, let me know.
The Top Ten song in Danielle’s life, in n particular order:
1. Leona Lewis – I See You …
This is a beautiful song from Avatar. That movie really did impact me in ways I can’t even begin to explain but this song does so much more. It makes me think of happy times and people I love. It brings to mind that one person I know I can’t live without, even I don’t have them with me yet. It’s about hope, right? That hope that someday I will have someone in my life that loves me as much as I love them.
2. Holly McNarland – Dallas …
I heard this song for the first time when I was letting Last.Fm pick my music for me. As soon as the song came on I just felt pulled to it. She is singing about a guy cheating and yes I can relate. It just felt like a song I had to have to so the first chance I got I made it a permanent part of my library. The song just speaks to me, reaches me in ways that other songs can’t because it is about cheating. She asks him if he can still smell her skin, asks him to say she is the only one. I have so been that person, wanting to be the only one.
3. The Tempter Trap – Sweet Disposition …
Do you ever hear songs on a commercial and think you just have to have it? This is one of those songs for me. I just love the song and it makes me smile. It is one of those songs that when it comes on you can’t help but smile and sing along. I don’t do that with a lot of songs, yes I sing a lot but this song just makes me smile while I am doing it. I can’t help myself really.
4. Bliss – Kissing …
I heard this song one night while I was out dancing with Benj in Second Life. The DJ at the club we were in played it. I fell in love with it and send the DJ a private message so I could steal it. I have since them downloaded as much Bliss as I can, but this song is still my favorite of theirs. It is so calming and yet so romantic and beautiful. I think that if I was going to have one of those romantic nights, candles and the works, I would want this song playing. It just makes me think sensual things, hehe.
5. Within Temptation ft Chris Jones – Utopia …
How can you not like Within Temptation? The first song of theirs I heard was Angels and I was hooked. I was surfing You Tube one night and decided to watch all their videos. When their official stuff came up, Utopia was the new release from them so I listened. I then listened like five or six more times. It is just an amazing song and has a great point if you take the time to really listen. I actually could have seen this song in Avatar. Yes I had to drop that movie in there, haha. I have used the lyrics from this song for one or two of my Na’Vi images.
6. OneRepublic – Say (All I Need) …
I heard this song for the first time in Vampire Diaries, a show on the CW. I just had to have it when I heard it so I went hunting and ended up getting the whole OneRepublic cd. I just love this song and can’t get enough of it. I seem to have a thing for the more sappy songs lately but I have a feeling this one will remain on my list for a while, as will all the other songs on this list. I just love this song.
7. Jace Everett – Bad Things …
Of course I couldn’t leave out the theme song for True Blood. Of course I heard this for the first time from a DJ, and had to have the song. It was after adding it to play list after play list that I started watching the show. This song is just a fun song, and is just perfect for me, since I enjoy doing bad things to people, haha. It is one of those songs that you want to shake you butt too as you sing along. I love it and think that everyone else needs to listen to it too!
8. Ryan Adams – Desire …
So many great things come out of House, lol. I heard this song at the end of one of the more emotional shows. I had heard Ryan Adam’song about New York, and yeah it was a good song but not my favorite or anything. When I heard this song though, I knew I had to have it. I play it all the time, in romance shows and it is permanently placed on my mp3 player. It is just an amazing song.
9. Landon Pigg – Falling In Love at a Coffee Shop …
This is another one of those songs I heard on a commercial and just had to have it. It was stuck in my head for days before I could find it. It took me forever to find the right song, and it is hard to find songs when you can only remember certain parts of the lyrics. But this is a great song, and I love how he sings about wanting to see things the way she does. I love how this song just make me think of love, and the message it gives is a great one. He loves her, and doesn’t want to think about if he didn’t know her.
10. Blank and Jones – Fallen …
I love trance and chill music. Blank and Jones are some of the best out there and when I got the CD that had this song on it I fell in love with the whole CD. They have so many great songs to listen too. This song though, it is a remix of a song by Delirium that I absolutely loved before and this version is just even more beautiful. It is peaceful and beautiful, and the lyrics are just amazing. I can understand why they wanted to remake the song, the original was great but this one just has an entirely different feel to it. It is absolutely my most favorite song to date.
