This post was fabulous. Extremely enjoyable. Thanks for doing this. :)

Childhood dogs are special; we remember none of their flaws, only the love they gave us and the love we still have for them.

So true. Mine was St. Roxanne, a golden retriever. Smart, sweet, we never had any problems with her and lived to be fifteen. I loved that dog so much. (Also, I adored Marley & Me, but the end made me sob. As I knew it would, because animal harm/animal death is the guaranteed fastest way to make me cry. The Stallone movie, Daybreak? People are dying left and right, but when I think the dog's dead, I lose it.) (The dog doesn't die, btw. In case you were worried.)

I like at least a little of all kinds of music, including country, rap, heavy metal, and hip-hop.

Oh yes, me too! I get a little tired of people who say "I like all kinds of music! Except country and rap." I just can't help but think they've never heard good country and rap.

know; I am willing to share my top 20 most-listened-to songs with you.

*waves hand* Ooh, ooh, me! I'm curious. :) I could give you my iPod's top 20 in exchange, although it tends to be mostly whiny white alternative rock right now because I have been stuck in that musical phase for awhile. I tend to focus on one type of music for awhile while still listening to others to leaven it up. It's funny, I went through my hard rock/metal phase when tapes were big, my country phase when CDs were the main thing, and now my indie/alternative phase during the iPod revolution.
