blogger love

it's official. i'm one of the cool kids. amy, the peach that she is, gave me some linkage love on her blog and even said i was funny! hahahaha!

sadly, i don't have any running to report because i was at a frat party last night. (see, i told you i was cool) more accurately, it was a frat party for the elderly, as we were celebrating some friends' birthdays who are closer to 30 than to 20. but we figured while we still had our livers, we should put them to good use and make sure our peer pong and flip cup skills don't get rusty.

so in my convalescence, aka dehydration and hangover, i am drinking water straight from the brita and downloading more tunes for my healthier running days. last week, i downloaded a scary amount of disco. this week, i'm drawn to some country. among some of my favorite running tunes are:

suddenly i see : k.t. tunstall (from watching too much so you think you can dance)
lala : ashlee simpson (makes me want to put on a french maid costume and be dirty)
bad girls : donna summer (you can't tell me that this song doesn't make you want to get your ass in gear)
september : earth, wind, and fire (i listened to them on 8 track with my parents!)
paradise city : guns and roses (this always makes me want to run fast!)
london bridge : fergie (yes she has a butter face, but girl's got sass)
run it : chris brown (in case i forget what i'm doing)
we run this : missy elliot (great motivation for hills)
sexy back : justin timberlake (appropro for all the hot shirtless men on the trails)
hawaiian rollercoaster ride : from the lilo and stitch soundtrack (makes me feel like i am riding the waves instead of pounding the pavement)
fantasy (the odb remix) : mariah carey (good beats for a slower runner like me)
holiday : madonna (i liked her better when she was catholic, i guess)
breathe : michelle branch (DUH!)
breathe, stretch, shake : mase (reminds me to relax and check that my form is nice and loose)
milkshake : kelis (that's right boys, go ahead and drool)
come clean : hilary duff (from watching too much laguna beach)
he's going the distance : cake (obvious. and it gets me thinking about cake)
last resort : papa roach (helps me grit it out when i'm tired)
cruel summer : bananarama (reminds me of karate kid and daniel-san kicking johnny's ass)
get right : jennifer lopez (it's not a run unless j.lo is involved)
used to love you : john legend (it makes me want to open up my lungs and sing out loud!)
rub you the right way : johnny gil (old skool!)
give me novacaine : green day (when i'm feeling angsty)
hypnotize : notorious b.i.g. (when i wanna feel like a bad-ass thug runner)
don't stop til you get enough : michael jackson (i can listen to old-skool michael for an entire run)

there are so many more, but i'm sure you've had enough. and my cool kid status will probably be revoked now that i've revealed my love for cheesy top 40 music. just think of all the britney, christina, kelly, and countless boy bands i didn't publicly list! oh the horror!

so please, i deplore you, broaden my horizons and let me know what you love listening to :)
