- Mood: serene chaos if there is such a thing
- Music: Wonder Pets songs
So today I'm going a bit away from my normal posts....but I'll save that for later.
First things first, spreading myself a bit thin on my projects right now, but it seems as if my stress levels are at a new and all-time high and I just have to deal with it somehow. So, I feel like I'm diving head first into some stuff that I needed to get done anyway like some of my quilting/crafty projects. I'm not reading anything but the bible at the moment...and I am spending time making flash cards for Rueben and trying to figure out the best way for him not to go backwards during this school year. Tyler seemed a bit ill last week, but it better. Mason is his usual horrible 3 self. I remember being so pleased that he never really had a terrible two problem at all.....I wish he would have. Horrible 3's are just that!!! And he's mad that he can't go to school now like the rest of them do. I'm glad I never told him he could go at 4, because he won't be able to go in Omaha until he's 5.
Okay...back to the soundtrack thing. If you think of your life as a movie...any songs kinda jump out at you?? I once had this as a creative writing project in college; way back when I wanted to be a CPA or a writer. Man, sometimes I'm still really odd.
So, I've put just a few things together and thought I'd write them down for my own posterity sake. I think I would start my CD with Dropped a Bomb on Me by GAP. I'm sure my parents felt that way. I kinda felt like Annie a bit growing up. I've never liked those sappy songs about the sad little girls like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" or "Tomorrow". Seriously sappy songs, but they did sort of hit my childhood right on cue. A strange giddiness took over about 12 and didn't seem to leave. It would become dormant for a little while, but it was mostly true. So...practically any disco song from "You Should Be Dancing", "Tragedy", "Hot Stuff", "Last Dance", etc. pretty much summed up that time period for me. Throw in a little rock and you have my teenage years. The Downward Spiral album from Nine Inch Nails, any Bush, Better Than Ezra, Soundgarden, etc. But that's just the newer stuff. I was just as much Rush, Queen, Rainbow, Chicago, REO, VanHalen, etc. as the grunge movement. Then toss in some of the newer country sound for my early to mid twenties, and now I'm back to rock again. It's like I'm living a very long VH1 special.
Sometimes I think that if my life was put to music it would be as out there as perhaps any of Andy Warhol's strangest works. Someone from my autism group asked me once, if life were a movie, who would play me....I have wondered that. Drew Barrymore could probably play my teenage self well, but she'd need a tan. Perhaps Sandra Bullock overall, but they'd have to ugly her down a little, I was never that glossy. I doubt it would be a box office smash, but if I ever write it down, it would probably be a long book.
I know this is way off what I normally post here. I was going through some things the other day. Thinning stuff out preparing for our move. Came across a few of my writing assignments and pretty much meshed them all together for this. When life gets back to being funny again...I'm sure my posts will be back to normal. But this time, it was nice to reminisce a little. We'll see what happens the more I thin out.
Or perhaps Tyler will do something completely graceless and it will remind me of something I did and I'll be back to posting normal. Since he had his tongue sewed back together I will say that he's no longer recreating scenes from the Cars movie with his tongue hanging out all over. He has found more frogs and they have all been Cracker. He thinks its amusing that the frogs want to jump out of his hands. I think it's a sign of slight intelligence on the frogs part. The last time he had one, he thought he would give it jumping lessons and was throwing it all over the yard. I saved it from perhaps permanent brain damage and set it free. Poor thing.
Until my later musings.....
