I'm nearing the end of 30 day song challenge now. I'm on day 24. Which is good, because at the end of long memes like this, I tend to get bored and want them to be done as soon as possible. But I can't just stop because I figure I've gone this far with it, I might as well complete it.
So day 24 is a song I'd like played at my funeral. Depressing, eh? The song I chose is Ave Maria. I think it is such a beautiful song. It's played at the end of the original version of Fantasia, and famously sung by so many people. I'll post a couple of videos on this one, if I find good ones.
Fantasia version:
Luciano Pavarotti
"Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen."

marry me
Back to 30 day song challenge: day 23 is a song I want to play at my wedding. For whatever reason, I have thought about songs to play at my wedding. I have no idea when I'll get married or what kind of wedding I'll be able to have (it sucks being poor), but there are songs I have in mind. They include Kingdom Come, Lovers in Japan, and Strawberry Swing all by Coldplay and Sound of Pulling Heaven Down by Blue October.
The song featured in this post however is Marry Me by Train. It's the latest addition to my wedding playlist. I love everything about this song.
"if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe, say you will"

magical mystery tour
Break for weird dream time.
Corey saved the world last night. Or this morning, I guess.
He was a secret agent. He cured all types of cancer by figuring out how to un-mutate the cells by studying the human genome.
Here is the story of how he saved the world. Backstory: US and Middle East were in a nuke battle and everyone was getting cancer. As a secret agent he went overseas collecting samples of everyone. He went back to the lab in the US to study how they mutated, and exposed non-sick samples to radiation to see how they mutated. And he "just figured it out." He changed the frequency of the radiation that was attacking the cells and made them stop mutating. He sent off another bomb with the new radiation to stop everyone's cancer cells from mutating, therefore, in dream-land, curing all cancer.
I almost ruined everything when I tried to wake him up to go eat the sushi I was talking about earlier.

hate me
Day 22 is a song I listen to when I'm sad. I picked Hate Me by Blue October. I listen to them a lot when I'm sad. Their music seems to feel your depression. I don't have a lot to say about this one. I haven't listened to this song in quite a while.
"hate me so you can finally see what's good for you"

30 day song challenge: day 21 - a song that you listen to when you're happy
I tend to get into boy band mood when I'm really happy. I could really listen to just about anything when I'm happy, but I like boy bands, country music, Justin Bieber and Lady GaGa when I'm particularly happy.
I picked Larger Than Life by the Backstreet Boys for this post. I could listen to this one on repeat several times and still like it, which if you know me, is saying quite a lot. I never put songs on repeat because I get so annoyed by hearing the same thing over and over again. Which is why I dislike so much rap and radio music.
"every time we're down, you can make it right"

electric chapel
Last night Corey told me he was craving sushi. I am now having an intense craving for sushi. I have had it all day, and wanted to go to Shogun for lunch, but Corey copped a major attitude when I tried to wake him up. So no sushi. I'm depressed.
I also dropped my phone off the side of the bed where I can't get to it unless I move the bed. Guess who's still in bed. :((
That's my "complain about my day" update. More 30 day song challenge to come today. I'm going to try and finish the last 10 days in 2-3 post installments over the next week and a half. We'll see how much I get done with working 4 days this week.

edit:
It should be noted despite all this, my hair looks terrific today. Better than the picture does justice, I think.

fury
Day 20, which is where I'll stop today, is a song I listen to when I'm angry. I picked Fury by Muse. Aptly named, don't you think? It's a good and angry song to let out a little mental frustration with. And then I feel better! :)
