Something Else.

OH!!!

Guess what I got for Christmas!!!

I got $105 in iTunes gift cards!!

Isn't that great??

I sure think so.

I was crazy excited when the iTunes gift cards kept rolling in.

Like a kid in a candy store.

Or...

Like a lunatic in an iTunes store.

I was all keyed up and ready to go on a huge song-buying binge. I sat down in my big comfy chair and settled in for a good time.

You know how many songs I purchased?

Two.

...actually I think I managed to get three.

Confession ~ I did also buy the new Mumford and Sons album but I didn't really know how to go about redeeming my gift cards so it automatically went on my Visa card instead -.- so I'm not counting it. I then asked The Boy how to do it and he showed me so I was back in business and bought...

Three songs.

And a game.

Pathetic.

How come when I'm spending my own money, I can zip though songs like crazy snapping them up like nothing and then when I have one hundred and five FREE dollars at my disposal I freeze up and can't decide on a damn thing??

*sigh

The songs I did end up buying are kinda neat. The Girl, being 16, listens to songs over and over and over again at a very high volume....as 16 year old girls are wont to do, and two songs that have been in heavy rotation for the past few months are:

• "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons
• "The a Team" by Ed Sheeran

I kinda like them so I bought them.... no doubt due to some sort of Recency Effect. ...and desperation.

I. MUST. BUY SOMETHING.

(This post is kinda like that too .....I. MUST. WRITE. SOMETHING...so I'm writing something just to write something...no matter how inane that something is. Now Katy, I'm not saying your songs are inane. They are great)

And I also got this song:

• "Pull Me Through" by Jim Cuddy

I already have that one on CD but it popped up in Genius and suggested that I may like it and, as mentioned previously, I was desperate...and I heart Jim Cuddy ... a lot.  He is very sexy .... in a Woody from Toy Story/Wayne Gretzky kinda way. That may not be a kind of sexy that appeals to you but it does to me....RARR!!

And the game I bought is one my fravourite friend told me about. "Parking Lot"...it's fun and frustrating.

And that's IT.

There must be something wrong with me.

I should probably see a doctor about this.



p.s. Any iTunes recommendations would be much appreciated.
