We're halfway there, livin' on a prayer

lady_saraiOkay, so I decided that I would force myself into a good mood by lounging around, eating chocolate, reading (good!) fic, and listening to music on headphones played far too loudly.
I made good music choices, btw.
Which means that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
three_nails meme is a good one for me to snag. ;)
List seven songs you are into right now, no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.
I should note that I made a playlist of all my music from the 90s and then I dwindled it in half and it's still about 9 hours long, but that's what I've been listening to, so, be prepared for some flashback power. Also, remember the above note on making myself smile. Some of these are here for the crack factor.
1. Livin', Bon Jovi
I have to confess to trying very hard to NOT include 7 Bon Jovi songs on this list. ;) I seem to be on a Bon Jovi kick.
2. The Way, Fastball
The tune is catchy and upbeat, so even if you know the story behind the song, it's still fun.
3. Devil Went Down To Georgia, Charlie Daniels Band
FIDDLES.
4. It's Tough To Be A God, from The Road to El Dorado
It so is. (NOT Elton John's version--this has Kevin Kline!)
5. If You Want It To Be Good, Girl (Get Yourself a Bad Boy), Backstreet Boys
I did warn you about the crack, but just TRY not smiling at this song! It sends me into GAILS of giggles Every Damn Time.
6. Smooth, Rob Thomas and Santana
Is it wrong that this song ALWAYS makes me think of Gambit? I'm from the bayou. You hear my rhythm on the radio. You feel the turning of the world, so soft and slow, turning you round and round. Yes, yes, we do.
7. Cruel to be Kind, Letters to Cleo
It makes me bop my head around and think of 10 Things I Hate About You and who doesn't love that movie?
All YSI links. If they expire, ask nicely. ;)
Also, I figure I owe my flist some not-so-much-with-the-angst posting, and I'd rather not go to bed with a migraine again. Apparently crying All Day Long induces migraines. Who'da thunk?
I totally had the hardest time trying to limit that to 7 songs. Really. (My "90s music is made of WIN" playlist is 130 songs--this being the halved version.)
So, ♥ to my flist for putting up with my moodiness lately.
Also, today's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fannish5: Name five characters that you identify with the most.
1. Helga Hufflepuff, Harry Potter. Okay, yes, VERY minor character who doesn't really appear. But. Teacher. Loyal. Hard working. Patient. Honest. COME ON. The way I've envisioned her is a LOT like myself.
2. Mark from RENT. He's the Best Friend, the one who everyone turns to, the one who takes care of everyone. Loyal, not so big on self-esteem, his friends are his family. Yeah, Mark.
3. Peter from Narnia. I think it's the big brother, taking care of his family and having all that responsibility on his shoulders and his faith.
4. Belle, from Beauty and the Beast, which, yeah, isn't a fandom of mine but. ;) She's a bookworm and she's fiesty and she's fiercely loyal. The part where she trades her freedom for her father's? GUH! Gets me every time.
5. Richard White, from Superman Returns. He's a family man, and he risks everything to save his family WHEN SUPERMAN CAN'T. Okay, sorry, that was me fangirling. BUT, he is a family man and clearly trusts and loves Lois and adores Jason. He rolls with the punches and comes up with compromises and works on Lois's story so she can do what she wants and he makes sure Jason won't eat anything he's allergic to.
I might be able to write tonight. That'd be nice.
(Using my Jane icon because she totally almost made it onto this list, because she kicks ten kinds of ass, and she loves animals and learning and she teaches and the monkeys took her boot! Oh, Jane. ♥ "I was SAVED! By a flying, wild man in a loin cloth!" "Loin cloth, good lord." "And DADDY! They TOOK MY BOOT!") /fangirling.
