#10- If you could build a soundtrack to your life, who would be on it?

A life soundtrack? It seems so complicated. My life is complicated. I'm sensing an Avril Lavigne song coming on....

Here is a random list of songs that I believe are awesome and good times to listen to it. I think a "life soundtrack" at the age of 24 is pointless. I haven't fully lived my life so I have no idea what the music is going to be like when I am even 30; or 50 (shudder).. This also doesn't really help when I have such an eclectic taste in music.

1. Oh Happiness! by David Crowder
1. Hello awesome dance music that has a positive message
2. Celtic Women and Celtic Thunder
1. Music for a classical music nerd. It also falls in the worldly category because of the Gaelic-ness. I have no idea what some of the songs mean. It could be about how a squirrel ran up a tree and is currently laughing at the person at the bottom who is trying to bring it down with coconuts and squirrels don't eat coconuts.
3. Children of God- Third Day
1. Complete with a children singing. I'm a sap for the music video.
4. The Beatles
1. I love the Oh-Blah-Di song..and also Twisting and Shouting is difficult while driving.
1.  
5. TobyMac
1. He went from Diverse City to Get Back Up...Still love his tunes though. He even did a song with Skillet!!
6. For the Price of  a Cup of Tea- Belle and Sebastian
1. The only words to this song I can pick up minus the obvious ones. "She took her coat from the plastic wrapper, pushed back her fringe to show her birthmark". I have no idea what that has to do with the title.
7. Newsboys!
1. Old school. Peter Furhler is a better leader singer than Michael Tait. Power to the Aussies, mate!
8. David Crowder in general
1. He is so awesome. I saw him on a rotating stage in Arizona. Fo-he-nix to be exact. The guy has an awesome beard. His drummer also reconfigured a guitar hero controller to play actual chords.

 So...there we go.
     A dip into Kim's musical mind. I can't think of anything else to put on here. Mostly because I don't have all my music with me. Oh..and one more for the band nerds..I played piccolo in this song.

FIN!

#9-If you could learn any new language, which one would you choose and why?

Well dear and lovely readers; after a short hiatus I am back blogging. I have officially moved to Minnesnowta and work for the "man". I, sadly have become a true adult even though I am in doubt and don't want it to ever become true. No list today just rant because I own this blog like an adult...there..a purpose for the word.

  I work at a French Immersion School in a before/after school setting and I don't speak a lick of French. The announcements come on and I hope that they don't pertain to me. Students ask me to help them with their homework; and I can't because it's in freakin' French. I am greeted by the staff outside of my work area in French. I have no idea what they are saying outside of "Bonjour". All the French sayings I know are from Lady Marmalade courtesy of the 90's power girl singers...none of which are helpful. I mean I could try some of them on the interns from France or teachers; but it isn't something that I want to have hanging over my head until June. They would just look at me like a crazy American and I would re-affirm their countries stereotypes on crazy Americans.  Note: I won't do that....you're welcome Amurrica you're welcome.

 So obviously the language I want to learn is French....at this point in time. I know a bit of ASL...(American Sign Language) and some Spanish. Tomorrow this may change into gibberish or Martian or just Aussie slang. Gosh, who knows what guvn'r?

  

#8- What's your favorite place to escape from life temporarily? A park? A mall?

I haven't been on here in a while; partially because I don't really have my own well functioning computer.

I think it's weird that this post is about escaping. I really don't have a place; but I have a routine. I like to be by myself somewhere alone. I like to do calming activities such as read, knit, watch a movie or just do nothing but sit with my thoughts. Here are my suggestions for those of you who need an escape or want to pick my brain.

List of Cool Things To Do To Escape

1. Read something. Anything. The back of a cereal box will be a good place for those who haven't read in a while.
2. Go for a walk; if you have your eyes glued to the computer you will have no idea that there is a tree outside instead of on your desktop.
3. Take a bath or a shower; you are probably dirty and need to scrub. Also, it feels good with a lather of Bath & Body Works latest scent of choice.
4. Write. If this is a new task try writing the alphabet in a funky style.
5. Scream while running around the block. (Note: make sure the loony bin is far from where you chose to do this).
6. Go and splurge on that new pair of shoes; you know the cute ones that you love but everyone else isn't a fan of. Then wear them out to buy yourself a smoothie from Jamba Juice.
7. Take your dog or a squirrel that you caught out for a walk.
8. Start playing a ridiculous Facebook game.
9. Read Harry Potter and shout spells randomly at others. If you are lucky, a duel might commence.
10. Draw a picture or comic book of what you would do if you found a talking banana in your closet. 

I think I might do number 6 tomorrow.

Why would you escape to a mall? Crowds don't sound enjoyable at all....at least from an introvert's standpoint.

Where would you escape to?

#7- Which would you choose: immense wealth in obscurity or poverty and fame (think "starving artist")?

General Thoughts

1) The question begs to differ..How obscure is obscure? I mean if I am allowed to have my few awkward friends then I pick that. We alway end up talking about some obscure topic like books and characters in books. Some of them are so odd and out there that if a bystander where to casually drop by they would want to have us committed.

2) Then on the other hand I've always wanted to be famous for something. Every little girl's dream to become known for something awesome. I've lived on little and survived; plus I've got mean persuasive skills.

3) I could take the cop out way and say that I'm not sure; which is true. Maybe I'm thinking about this to much. It is said that money can't buy you love; or that fame won't buy you friends. So I chose a happy medium. Currently I am in the position of poverty and obscurity. (Recent college grad who has decided to go home for the summer).

Since this is my blog and I've broken rules before...I choose a happy medium between the two. I'm also indecisive so it makes things a bit more exciting.

What would you pick and why? Could you decide?

#6-You have to invite 5 people to dinner, dead or alive. Who do you invite and why?

A few things that have happened since my last blog post: I got a new student teaching placement, moved from one dorm to another and walked across a stage and got a diploma cover (graduation...semi). I have been feeling like this again, which stinks; because I am at that point in my life where I am moving into the real world which seems fairly scary and going to be living on my own with housing not supplied my college. I'll have to start paying back the thousands of dollars that I owe this school for my education. So, I'm at crossroad central basically; and like most; I dislike it. 

Since this is my blog I create my own way of doing things including answering challenge posts in whatever way I desire. The people/groups of people I would invite to dinner.

1. Jesus 
1. He's awesome; without Him I'd be nothing.
2. My family
1. They are awesome. They shaped me to be the person I am today and have been constantly encouraging and always there for me.
3. My friends
1. They are the family that you chose. My friends are absolutely amazing; they allow me to be me and all my creepy awkwardness. They are also super supportive. We share a brain and have similar odd tastes.
4. The cast of Grey's Anatomy (first 5 seasons)
1. Best TV show. Non-debatable. Great cast. McDreamy!
5. A few historical figures (Anne Frank, Abe Lincoln, other cool people)
1. I would like to pick their brains to just ask them what they wanted to be when they grew up and let them know what legacy they left on the world.
