Day 24 of the 30 Day Blogging Challenge-What Attracts Me In Love

What Attracts Me In Love?

Can I just skip this one? Pretty please? No one REALLY wants to know anyways....Can I just say "Please see photo of Mr. Jezebel"? After all...I'm pretty sure I'm done with the love nonsense after him anyways and who the heck wants to drudge up the attraction question?

Damn...ok...no getting around it I guess. So here goes nothing.

I have no type.

Zero.

Ziltch. 

You literally can track nothing from one relationship or even crush to the next. There is nothing in common between the men in my life except quite possibly a touch of mental instability. There you go! A common thread! I'm attracted to just a smidge of crazy! Shocker!

But all joking aside (that wasn't really a joke), It clearly isn't physical since there is virtually no resemblance...

1) Sense of humor-All dark, all twisted, all inappropriate
2) Charismatic-Most but not all
3) Hard workers-Most but not all
4) Readers-Not a single one
5) Sports fans-Most but not all
6) Music lovers-Every single one...that appears to be a big draw for me

7) Speak the same language-fluent sarcasm

8) Tattoos-All

So it comes down to Tattooed-Smart ass-Sarcastic-Music Lovers....there you go...a recipe for my heart!

Day 7 of the 30 Day Blogging Challenge-My Five Favorite Songs

My Five Favorite Songs

I have to pick just five? That's nearly impossible!!! That's crazy! Do you know how many songs I have on my IPod? It's 8 GBs!!

Ok here goes nothing:

1) Anything Anything-Dramarama

This song clearly represents a time in my life. A somewhat carefree time when all was fun and light and a little aggressive. That was all denial.....it wasn't real but I was danged determined to pretend that everything was all right and that I wasn't lost and foundering. I was having fun! I was I was I was!!! I do appreciate the Buck Cherry version as well

2) Time After Time-Any Cindy Lauper version

In my humble opinion...which matters not a whit, this is the best song ever written. It makes me FEEL...in the real, authentic way that so few songs do anymore. It's a real song that really matters and although it's been covered a bazillion times I think it doesn't get the credit it deserves.

3) Bella's Lullaby-Carter Burwell

I know..I know...it's on the Twilight soundtrack. But this song I think is so lovely. It makes me want to play piano again. It's haunting and has a wonderful internal energy to it that swells my spirit. Listening to this song is almost a spiritual experience for me.

4) Rhiannon-Fleetwood Mac

Do I even need to justify this one? It's Stevie for heavens sake! I've never been a huge Fleetwood Mac fan growing up but in my forties some of the classics have grown on me. That rasp though!

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night and
Wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight and
Who will be her lover?

All your life you've never seen
A woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?

She is like a cat in the dark and then
She is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark and when
The sky is starless

All your life you've never seen
A woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?

5) The Thunder Rolls-Garth Brooks

This song is such a good quiet brooding song. It's the best crescendo song I can think of with a huge build and an amazing delivery. I realize sometimes that I forget to breathe during it and it leaves me gasping for air a bit. I'm realizing that this is the only "country" song on the list despite the fact that I generally listen to country music these days...Interesting?!?
