Music Challenge

Ohhh I am a bad blogger.
(cringes)
Iamsoverysorry.

I'm just gonna blurt this out: I'm giving myself a music challenge.
As of today, I have exactly 10,000 tracks in my iTunes Library. This
amounts to 28.6 straight days of music. That's around 686 hours of
straight music.

Here's the challenge:
I want to listen to it all.

No, it's not going to be non-stop. I'm going to start from A and go
all the way to Z. I will listen to each track exactly once and move
alphabetically through my library. I will not add any new tracks to
my library until my challenge is completed. (I have no idea if I'll be
able to resist this... we'll see...)

So... I'll be posting/blogging about my challenge. You see, some of this
music brings up strong emotions for me. You'll see me working through
childhood memories, painful past reminders, happy moments, etc.
Since I view my life in terms of the music that I listen to, you'll get a
pretty good picture of "me".

I have no idea when I'll be finished with this challenge. It could take
months... even up to a year! Wish me luck!

I'm starting with "A". That means... the A*Teens...
I haven't listened to these guys since middle school! Oy vey...

Woo-Hoo!

Aaaaannnndddd I'm back.
Well, I'm not officially back to "life" as normal
but I am, currently, sitting back on my parents' couch
in PA. My time in Europe was... awesome, for lack of a
better word. It was fabulous and I learned SO much on my
study abroad program.

Keep your eyes peeled for some more photos in about a
week or so. I fly back to Los Angeles on Thursday. This
summer has been an absolute blur! Wonderful, but waaay
too fast! Things should return somewhat to normal when
I am back to UCLA and LA.
