Music Meme & a Small Update

hillarygayleOnce there was a meme, and jorajo did it, and then I did it too because a) I was feeling sheeplike and b) she's freaking awesome and c) the meme was pretty neat & different from the usual music ones.
1. One of the earliest songs you remember listening to:
Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On - Mel Williams [I was so young that the term "baby" meant Courtney, my younger sister, and I wondered why anyone would care that she was wearing blue jeans.]
She can't help it if she's made that way
She's not to blame if they look her way
She ain't really trying to make a scene
It just comes naturally
2. Song by the artist you last saw live:
Funny The Way It Is - Dave Matthews Band
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebody's heart is broken
And it becomes your favorite song
3. Song that you currently can't get out of your head:
Earth Jam - Béla Fleck & the Flecktones
[It doesn't have lyrics. Doesn't need them--it has Jeff Coffin wailing like a madman on two saxophones. TWO AT THE SAME TIME, PEOPLE.]
4. Song by someone who is dead:
Man in the Mirror - Michael Jackson [My favorite MJ song]
I'm looking at the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
No message could be any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself & make a change
5. Song you discovered from a film:
Spybreak - The Propellerheads (from the Matrix soundtrack)
[Again, no words. Just the feeling that you should be driving a black car very fast and making lots of 90º turns too fast.]
6. Song you love to sing along to:
Lesson Learned - The Gossip
People like you make me know that I don't wanna be
Stuck in a scene that only puts me down & judges me
7. Song you totally misunderstood the first time you heard it:
Uninvited - Alanis Morrisette
Must be strangely exciting to watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening to watch shepherd meet shepherd
[I'm still not convinced this is what that song says. I can't understand what she's saying at ALL.]
8. Love song:
Love Song - 311
However far away
I will always love you
[I wanted to put Crush by DMB, but seriously how can I not put "Love Song" here? ^o^)
9. Song that makes you nostalgic:
Clubbed to Death (Kurayamino Mix) - Rob D. (from the Matrix soundtrack)
[No lyrics. Reminds me of the sophomore year at Harding when I had this insane social life and we all went to see the Matrix a dozen times in the cheap theater. I'd like to see it in a theater again.]
10. Song that makes you cry:
Baby Blue - Dave Matthews Band
[Just typing the lyrics makes me cry so I'm not going to. -_- I have only listened through it once and I burst into sobs.]
11. Song that makes you laugh:
Another Postcard - Barenaked Ladies
Some chimps in swimsuits
Some chimps in Jackboots
Some chimps in hard hats
Some chimps who love cats
I've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hair
I've got depraved chimps dressed up in the women's underwear.
12. Song that makes you want to dance:
Why I Am - Dave Matthews Band
It's the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world
13. Song with food in the title:
Candyman - Christina Aguilera
He's a sweet chocolate sugar coated candy man
14. Song that creeps you out:
Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
Black hole sun
Wont you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Wont you come
Wont you come
15. Really good cover song:
Sledgehammer - Dave Matthews Band [It was the only 80s song I really liked, and then my favorite band covered it!]
Show me round your fruitcage
Cause I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be
16. Song about waking up or dreaming:
Dive In - Dave Matthews Band
Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the waters rising
Summers here to stay, and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean
17. Song you only like because of the title:
I can't think of one. I either do or do not like a song, and it has nothing to do with the title. How about a song that has nothing to do at all with its own title?
Granny - DMB
Well I believe it's love that's hiding here
deep inside both you and me.
Maybe it's up to you and me to share it with the light
Love when I approach the tears they fall like rain
You tell me baby your heart's into a thousand pieces
18. Song you like from an artist that you otherwise don't like:
Toxic - Britney Spears
With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're poison, I'm slipping under
19. Song you hate:
Paparazzi - Lady Gaga
[Won't look up the lyrics. I saw the video and I HATE it; it glamorizes several scenes of catastrophic medical conditions and murder. WRONG, folks.]
20. Wildcard
Squirm - Dave Matthews Band
For a moment, if you please
Forget what you believe
And naked, you will see
That we are all the same
Bryan & Ganon & I are about to go into town. It's been a crazy week but I think I finally feel rested...just in time to jaunt to Memphis this evening. This week is my pediatric rotation, and I will be working at LeBonheur in Memphis, Tennessee. Thanks to my crazy!awesome father-in-law, my classmate Jennifer and I will be residing at the Doubletree Inn, just a 4 minute drive from LeBonheur itself. (He's got lots of Hilton Honors points, so it doesn't cost anything to stay at a Hilton-associated hotel). I'm looking forward to it! Right now I'm fixing up all my laundry & packing my bag. I'm REALLY excited about LeBonheur. It's one of the few hospitals anywhere near here where they can perform surgery for things like transposition of the great arteries. I might get to see something like that on Wednesday (my observation day). There's a chance I might work in the ER at some point, which may mean starting an IV line on a child, which I've never done before.
It's storming like crazy outside. There isn't any wind, so I am not nervous at all about it. Wind scares the devil out of me, but lighting & thunder & rain are no problem. Ganon's doing fine, but Pete is flipping his poor little mess. He HATES thunder.
Town errands: send off AppleTV for repair (why do we have the worst luck in history with logic boards?!), pay my ticket (note to self: cruise control is YOUR FRIEND).
We had a good time in Little Rock on Friday, and then in Hardy on Friday & Saturday. Staying at the cabin always feels slow & relaxing to me, even now that I have internet access via iPhone there. The only major problem with the cabin is that it gives Bryan hella asthma problems. His asthma is triggered by his allergies, and any time his allergies get a massive exacerbation, he has asthma attacks. He's used his albuterol inhaler all freaking weekend since Hardy. -_- ALLERGIES FAIL.
Okay. If we're going to leave I'm going to clean up the kitchen. Ganon & Bryan can't deal all week with a kitchen in this shape.
