What are your top 25 most played songs? 
Submitted by Cooxie.  

This is so inaccurate because it's mostly stuff I listened to at the gym over and over and over.  It makes me look like I listen to about a grand total of three bands...which isn't at all true.

So let’s see. I didn’t sleep well last night. I had a hard time getting my brain to turn off for the night. I just keep thinking about all the things I need to do in the next couple of weeks. I have some car issues I have to figure out, I have to figure out what to do with my cell phone, I have to finish these damn MSW application essays, I need to decide if I want to keep working three jobs or cut back to two and how will that affect my finances? And I forgot to find coverage for when I’m in Chicago. Oh and when is that Ani Difranco concert anyway? My mind just races from one thing to another.  I need to sleep.

"So I have to write an essay about why I want to be a social worker.  I think I'm going to write that I lack the talent to be a rock star, so I have no choice but to be a social worker."

What movie can you quote by heart?
Submitted by clamhead.

High Fidelity, of course.  I have this bad habit of randomly quoting it.  No one gets it.  I am a dork.

Would it really be so wrong to drive 20+ miles to eat at Chick-fil-A?

Tell us a little something about your first car.  Do you have any photos you can share? 
Submitted by tamara.

It was a brown 1981 Toyota Corolla.  When I got it, it barely ran.  You couldn't even take it over about 45 mph.  By the time I was done spending every last dime I had on repairs, it ran like a dream.  Or at least it did on the drive home from the mechanic.  I was half a block from home when a punk-ass 15 year old driving a huge van smashed into the car, destroying it and sending me to the emergency room.
