forward

after reading over this, i apologize for the rambeling!

I'm not a big fan of the fowarded email, but I have a girlfriend who only sends "forwards" and if I ever want info on her family, I have to answer. She sent me one over the weekend asking me basic questions like fave color, fave animal, song, cd, band...etc. After I reminded her we weren't in third grade anymore, I agreed to answer. But who has only one of those? It depends on the mood or even the season as to my favorite song/band/cd. For that matter, so does color, animal, guilty pleasure, everything! Who is consistent enough in life to have one favorite anything? I'm definitely not. If I'm heading out in a good mood, The Gap Band "You Dropped the Bomb on Me" is a fave or Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me", but if I want an emotional flashback Live's "I Alone" can stir up images I associate with only that song or anything off of Dave Matthew's Under the Table and Dreaming.
Cd/Album...are you kidding? Where do I start? I can listen to anything off of R.E.M.'s Green album and be thrown right into the 8th grade hallway at Pace Middle School holding the first cassette tape I ever wore to pieces.
I've decided that Jeannie isn't the only one who deserves the answers to her forward...I'm listing, in no apparent order, some of my all time faves. (I'm listening to most of them as I type)

I won't EVEN go into colors.
