The Greatest Books and Music. Ever.

Before I say anything, I will admit that I am an extremely biased person, and I’m into hyperbolic statements, but I got your attention, didn’t I? My point is, when I say “Greatest”, what I really mean is “Pretty good”.

First, I will summarize, like the genius I am. Then I will list like the little kid I can be.

Let’s start with music, because I’m listening to my iPod right now, and that’s incentive enough to keep my fingers typing for a least a good five minutes. Most of the songs I download are directly tied to the 10-second samples I get from flipping through radio stations and watching So You Think You Can Dance. To make things easier for us all, I will skip to listing the Top 25 Most Played playlist on my iPod:

1. Vindicated – Dashboard Confessional
2. How To Touch a Girl – JoJo
3. Dr. Evil – They Might Be Giants
4. No One – Aly & AJ
5. Honestly – Cartel
6. When You Were Young – The Killers
7. Face Down – The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
8. Gomenasai – t.A.T.u.
9. Never Far Behind – Aly & AJ
10. Going Crazy – Ashley Tisdale
11. How To Save a Life – The Fray
12. Collapsed – Aly & AJ
13. Into the Ocean – Blue October
14. Le Chemin – KYO
15. Meant to Live – Switchfoot
16. This is Your Life – Switchfoot
17. Istanbul (Not Constantinople) – They Might Be Giants
18. Everything You Want – Vertical Horizon
19. Over It – Jordan Pruitt
20. You Found Me – Kelly Clarkson
21. Another Day – Adam Pascal & Rosario Dawson (RENT Soundtrack)
22. Dancing – Elisa
23. Umbrella – Rihanna ft. Jay-Z
24. Rockstar – Nickelback
25. Strongtower – Kutless

I’m not going to bother putting links to all those songs, because… no. I’m just not doing it.

Now let’s away to books. This year, I’ve gotten more and more interested in books for no apparent reason. Actually, there is a reason. It’s because in most of the books I’ve been reading, the leading male is hot, hot, hot (cough, Edward Cullen, cough). He makes all kinds of things fun to do, like reading. So here’s my short book list. I so great, I’ll even identify the cute guy in each one:

1. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (Edward Cullen)
2. New Moon by Stephenie Meyer (Edward Cullen)
3. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld (David)
4. Pretties by Scott Westerfeld (Zane)
5. Specials by Scott Westerfeld (Zane)
6. Peeps by Scott Westerfeld (Cal Thompson)
7. A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb (James Deardon/Billy Blake)
8. Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard (Ezra Fitz)
9. Flawless by Sara Shepard (Toby Cavanaugh)
10. Private by Kate Brian (Thomas Pearson)

Okay, so now you people have a little insight into my mind, and what I think is awesomely awesome.* And the added bonus is that I feel proud of myself for adding all those links.

Aren’t I great?

* I understand that “Awesomely awesome” does not count as Quirky-speak either.
