Shuffle

I've said this before, but I think that putting your ipod on shuffle sometimes is just what you need to wake you up. Yesterday afternoon I had some mellow Celtic woman song immediately followed by Usher's Yeah. I like the randomness of it all. ANd it makes me appreciate the music I've forgotten.
It makes me think of why I put those songs on my ipod. And helps remember bits of who I am, and who I was back then when I first got my mini. I mean, I've always thought I haven't changed much. In looks or in personality. But when I was looking at my school IDs yesterday, I realized that somewhere between middle school and high school I actually seem like my looks changed a lot. From a kid to an actual teenager. And even in high school, and now, I've still got the same face, the same pointed chin and the same un-Asian eyes, but somehow I've changed slightly every year. And I guess that's true for my personality too. I've been shuffling the cards slightly every once in a while. I've kept my framework but I think I'm a better person now. Or at least happier. But I think what it really is is that I've finally become mature enough to laugh at myself. Which I do a lot now, cuz I say and do the weirdest things a lot. I'm happy to say that maybe I've finally dealt myself the right cards

Yay Kelsey!

Yeah, shuffle is great for that kind of stuff. I find that I listen to certain music in certain periods of my life. Like senior year was all about Frou Frou and The Fray. Now whenever I hear that music I start feeling the same way I did senior year, and I feel sorta trasnported back. It's really cool sometimes.

I'm glad you're learning to laugh at yourself :) Also, glad that you are happy too.

lol kelsey! i'm glad you laugh at yourself as much as i do. ;)

my favorite part of shuffling is when i discover good songs that i threw on my ipod without ever really giving them a listen.
