| HAPPY BOXING DAY, EVERYONE!!!! |
Her everybody! I just got back from L.A. about an hour ago and I'm trying to finish this challenge that Jer gave me last wednesday...
It all started on the train ride up and while we were talking on the phone he asked me what my ONE favorite song could be if I could choose it...I told him that out of the 5,000 songs that I had with me, I would be able to do my top twenty AT LEAST...he then said ok, do it, and I went ummm...can I change it to fifty? ...In which case he said no. The rules have now since changed to my top 20, or however many can fit onto one cd. SO, this has been taking up hours of my time, but I'm resolved to actually figure it out...I'm on the "N's" now...well...this is he second cut. I went through all 5,000, which ended up being a playlist of 297. I'm NOW going through THAT to figure out which are my tops. (P.S. In a random response to Will's comment on the last post, N. Arizona SO does not = or even COMPARE in being better than the east coast, my friend.) But back to the list...I'm going to do it now (It's 2:20am) or else come goddamn close to it before I go to sleep.
I really want to be cool like everyone and make an inventory on here but b/c I was in L.A. I still haven't opened the presents between my mother and myself...but I've got a goddamned good list so far.
Highlights include:
$1,100
A portable dvd player
An actual Coach bag (wtf...?)
A necklace from Fred Segal (another wtf...?)
A casmere sweater
A Broadway dvd pack (which Jer was ALSO given by his parents...lol that, I believe, calls for yet another wtf...?) ;)
Victoria's Secret PINK pajamas
"Plan 9 from Outerspace" on dvd (hailed by critics as the all-time worst scifi/all together movie ever made)
Books (Broadway and The Making of "Memoirs...")
A Christmas Crooner CD
Chocolate
Lancome makeup
Batman Begins (thank you, Sweetie)
LOTS of awesome-tastic action figures
A SIX MONTH SUBSCRIPTION TO NETFLIX thanks to mah one and only :)
And The Mummy 3-pack on dvd
A new robe/socks
A scarf/gloves set
2 new dresses
...I know I'm forgetting some things, but I'll try to remember later...I've also still got to exchange gifts w/ my mom and my brother/his girlfriend tomorrow (which is really today...P.S. Happy Boxing Day, all!) and a few more family members...YEESH. This Christmas turned out to be way insane on the receiving end. I could never ask for a better family-they're amazing and never cease to amaze and warm me.
Well...although this post has distracted me from the music challenge, I think I'll put up some pictures from this year's huge Scotti family Christmas production in Beverly Hills (this year it was at my Uncle Tony and Aunt Sylvie's...it alternated between them and Carol and Ben every year.)
This one is definitely Donny holding up my Christmas tree with one hand. No folks, this is no optical illusion. :) LOL Btw this is NOT from the family function, although it would have been awesome if it were.
A picture that I took of the Del w/ Tony, Emily, Donny, Suca, and Meryn...right before I got told to NOT jump in the ice shavings off of the rink. HAH-but boy, did I enjoy it while it lasted.
This is our cat Banjo...sometimes I really wish that everyone could just be as laid-back as this guy.
Haha a very blurry picture of the dog, Loftus (btw's, I didn't name 'em)...Also, a sidenote: when I keep uploading these I always catch the pictures of me and Jer out of the corner of the screen and they make me so friggin' happy!!! :)
Dee, my daddy, and myself right before the Christmas party :)
This is my Uncle Ben Scotti...he's like The Godfather, I swear to Coppola.
This is my Aunt Ann...she's the best old dame you'll find anywhere on the face (or the core, for that matter) of the earth. No one else can compare to her strength; the true backbone of the family.
My cousin Anna, her daughter Victoria (my favorite kid in the family, but don't tell Courtney), and my amazing Aunt Carol.
Aunt Carol and Uncle Ben's two sons, Anthony and Ben Jr. Pretty goddamned cute if you ask me.
The three Scotti Brothers: Tony, Ben, and Fred. :) Basically, they're Italian rich badasses. It doesn't get too much cooler.
And now from my mom's side, my Uncle Frank and Aunt Maria, whom we saw only a few hours ago!
And another random one from right before the Christmas party!
And lastly, the very English Sam Bardens and myself; Sam is the son of the late Pete Bardens, my mom's best friend for years. We've grown up together and he's practically my (other) brother. And yes, ladies, he's single and he'll be here in a few days ;) (Haha oh yeah and he's got the accent.)
I'm sorry that this turned out to be such a photo thing of my family...lol actually that was more for Jer b/c he's been wondering what most of my dad's side of the family looks like. In other news, I'm on the "R's"...closing in on it... :)
Okay...now it's 3:05 am...I'm through the 297 and it's now down to 80...here's where it gets tough. HOLY SHIT...I'm listening to random parts of each song and they're all amazing...This is now the best playlist I could have ever devised. (...but WHICH Beatles song is the best?)
Okay...it's 3:18 and I've got it to 25...
The five that were just edited out:
"Bust a Move"-Young MC
"Nothing I Can Do"-Ben Taylor
"Requiem"-Mozart (All movements for convenience's sake...if I were to make a "Best Written/Composed" cd, this would be No. 1, though...however, these are my "All-Time Favorite" songs)
"#41" Acoustic Version-Dave Matthews Band
"Enjoy the Silence"-Depeche Mode
Uhm....it is NOW down to 20, but it still won't fit on a cd...but I think that I'll narrow it down until it does, and then anyone who wants a copy can have one b/c I'll burn it and it'll all fit...lol...if people have actually read this far. Ok.
More off the list:
"Layla"-Eric Clapton
"One"-U2...yeah...holy crap, I can't believe I just deleted that song from the list...but now you know just how close it is.
Okay...so...hah...if you're still readin, kudos to all of you. Here's my top 18 thus far in my life (all 18 years of it)...weird how that worked out, but now it all fits on one cd. This is in no particular order, only that it has a good flow. At 3:59am (I *told* you I would do it, Sweetie..haha thank you for the challenge, though...it's been since wednesday afternoon.)
The Final Cut:
1. "The Stranger" - Billy Joel
2. "Waltz #2 (XO)" - Elliott Smith
3. "White Room" - Cream
4. "Georgia On My Mind" - Ray Charles
5. "In My Life" - The Beatles
6. "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" - Marvin Gaye
7. "Since You're Gone" - The Cars
8. "Mr. Tambourine Man" - Bob Dylan
9. "Ana Ng" - They Might Be Giants
10. "I've Got You Under My Skin" - Frank Sinatra
11. "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" - Them
12. "Shape of My Heart" - Sting
13. "Boy's Gone" - Jason Mraz
14. "If I Didn't Believe in You" - Nortbert Leo Butz
15. "One Headlight" - The Wallflowers
16. "Hopeless" - Train
17. "Late" - Ben Folds
18. "Time of the Season" - The Zombies
That's all, everyone-have a wonderful Boxing Day and have fun w/ all of your holiday stuffs! Thanks for reading all of this...lol or, if you just scrolled without reading, thanks for at least skimming to here! Much love, everyone-
time for bed NOW.
:)
Goodnight, goodnight,
Sweet baby
The world has more for you
Than it seems
Goodnight, Goodnight
Let the moonlight take a lift off your dreams...
*EDIT ADD*
Man-life is strange...I just got such a stranger nostalgic feeling an hour or so ago and started readin some of my really old xanga entries, some of Jase's, some of Jer's. Life is so strange to me sometimes-so many things happen, people come and go, we all go through phases in our lives. I dunno-Everything that happened only a few years ago seems like forever-I don't even remember these days that I wrote about (even right before Grease auditions, before starting work at coldstone, etc.)...I dunno-it's natural, I suppose; I guess that we all forget so much. This might be random, but I know that most people never read this or even knew me then. A random part of my life that I just feel like posting for reflection. This is from a long time ago-but I read my comment and thought-my god-I was so wise then...sometimes I wonder if I was a lot wiser earlier on in my life...even in childhood...than I am now.

here new entry, title "feelings"
you think i dont care, i do
you think i dont look back, i do, i really wish that i could take back all i did not just to steph but to everybody, i find myself looking back too much now adays thinking about everything
you think i have no heart, i do its just very small and black but i have one

Listen, jase. Andy told me not to talk to you anymore...but whatever. He also said that you weren't going to go on Xanga anymore, so you probably won't even get this...in fact, you've probably blocked me (haha). Oh well; so I heard you were going to call last night, but you never did. I'm getting used to it. Dan took my hat and said he'd come over to return it last night but he never did. (What is it with guys taking my hats.....??? lol.) So, mainly I'm just writing to say, no, this is not going to bridge any gap between us...you have to do that. And if you even want a friendship I guess we may have to work on that, too. If you're not willing, then okay, just remember that it was your choice (again). But I am...I always have been...you were (and still are) such a huge part of my life...I don't feel right just letting that go. But, it's your call. (Hahaha...didn't mean that literally). Then again, like I said, you probably won't get this, and even if you do, you probably won't respond. So, enjoy not caring...that's how andy put it. But I guess I'll never know, will I?

How strange life is-how much we go through and forget...so many people, so many places, so many memories that we bury or conveniently overlook as we grow...I'm sorry if this add-in is so melodramatic and personal, but it's amazing to me...we all go through it. I dunno-I suppose I'm just feeling introspective.
:)
Have an awesome day, everyone-I hope the sunshine brings everyone as much happiness as possible today. :) |
