if you don't know, now you know...

instead of listing 25 things about myself that are ultimately/unnecessarily self indulgent and lead me to being increasingly self conscious. i've decided to compose a mix of 23 songs that have perhaps:
A. played a huge role in my life
B. the title or lyrics sum up a feeling or instance that i would never be able to do so in my own words
C. i have a physical reaction (good or bad) to this song when i hear it
D. i will go to my grave loving this song

it's 23 songs b/c i will give two non song details about myself below:

1. certain smells have brought me to tears because of their capacity to remind me of a person or place.
2. music sometimes/always expresses me more than anything else i can think of, hence my snobbery.
3-25. enjoy: http://www.filedropper.com/aljsummedup

when the dream came, i held my breath

finally over my cold. minor as it was, my lack of olfactory stimuli leaves me feeling as if one hand is tightly tied behind my back. smell after all is the strongest of them all.

fondest memories from my break:
bax and sadie playing french bingo- "le moto!!!"
waking up in brooklyn with snow outside the window and music for airports lulling me back to sleep...
a metric ton of glitter in accompaniment with the phosphorescent fellas, b.g., hearts revolution at the stroke of midnight, and the k&m FTW- NYE 2009!!

just try not get all mushy listening to this:
swedes do it better
