MUSIC

At work I listen to music all day long. That isn't typically a habit I have in my lifestyle when I work but at the current 40 hour job I have if I don't do so I get distracted by all the people talking. So earbuds go in, and as a consequence I have had an opportunity to think on one of the most common getting-to-know-you questions: What kind of music do you like? I enjoy listening to all music as I have always professed, but I find that the only music playlist that I have that I can listen to all day long at work without falling asleep or getting bored is my Disney and Musicals playlists. I think it's because I love to sing along, and also to dance in my chair which also helps keep me awake. :D

Just the "Eden" category:
These songs are special for several reasons. Some typify me. Some of these get stuck in my head all the time, and some have significance for what the songs means to me and the experiences I've gone though.
-Almost There, Princess and the Frog
-Where do I go from here, Pocahontas (Tiana and her friends album)
-I could have Dance All Night, My Fair Lady
-Why Can't the English (How I feel about texting and chat lingo)
-Just You Wait, My Fair Lady
-Get it Right, Glee

There. Now both you and I have my answer. Too bad I'm the long winded type. :) I recommend all of the songs, but not necessarily the movies they're in. (For example, I never had the stomach for Glee, I find it too crass for my taste but I enjoy some of their music)
