the body of itunes.

not to toot my own horn, but my itunes library rocks. almost rox. with an x. but not quite. as i scroll through 10 days, 4 hours, 28 minutes, and 22 seconds (all evens, ocd is awesome.) of my library, i compartmented the different types of categories of songs.

the last 5 songs purchased.

these 5(ish) songs are on a constant rotation basis. they also usually make me want to dance and jam in my chair or in the library, but they are far from being quality songs. i'll stop listening to them in a week. kind of how i was with boyfriends in middle school, except those were on average 45 minutes. that's what you get for having the personality of a 12 year old basset hound.

examples:

spending all my time - aaron fresh

driving me crazy - sam adams

ridin' solo - jason derulo

alejandro - lady gaga

california girls - katy perry

the songs you always get excited for when they come on.

they usually refer to songs from the 90's. no matter what, you can't not dance. especially when i'm alone. then it's just dangerous. even 5 years later.

examples:

dirrty and fighter - christina aguilara

the songs that makes you think of a friend or event.

the second it comes, you want to call a friend and be like "omgggggggg thisss sooonnngggg issss onnnnnn." what are you supposed to say back to that? like "oh fun. i'm proud you were able to go through a library and click play? do you want a cookie?" these songs are also usually annoying.

examples:

body language - jesse mccartney (and that is for you, katie haines.)

party in the usa - miley vomitcyrus

check on it - beyonce

pour some sugar on me - def leppard

the songs you bought to be like "oh i found this new artist", but you stop listening to after 3 days.

make it your status, and call it a day. you're all artsy and making discoveries, and you find out it was a waste of $1.29. bummer. i could have 2 sonic happy drinks with that.

examples:

jake coco

matt hires

andy davis

songs you hope no one ever finds.

i have over 4,000 songs in my library and my itunes STILL manage to have charlotte church's "the prayer" or barry manilow within the first 10 songs on shuffle. it's public humiliation, and there's no excuse. it's your itunes.

songs that are just always your favorite.

your top 5 favorite songs ever created that are listened to on a daily basis. beautiful.

black balloon - goo goo dolls

meet virginia - train

drops of jupiter - train

iris - goo goo dolls

i caught fire - the used

songs that are just straight up middle school.

because it's the only thing worth remembering. mostly because i looked like a troll and only straightened the front of my hair. whatever, i still had boyfriends, despite them being 45 minutes. thats 45 more minutes than i have now. shocking.

fat lip - sum 41

anything taking back sunday

glee songs.

because they deserve a category of their own.
