Perfect songs... or not

Mary tagged us. I was actually still planning to follow-up/extend her weirdo meme (yeah, it was weeks ago, i've been busy), but since one weird thing about me is that i listen to music that drives 99%+ of the population up walls and out windows (and am actually relaxed by it), this will have to do. For your listening pleasure, song links lead to pages with the actual songs. The songs decrease in listenability as the the list descends. However, you've been spared the task of listening to the 20-minute epic greatest song ever, "Rise of the Irridescent Behemoth" by the Flying Luttenbachers. But you are now obligated to listen to 3. in it's entirety.

5. The perfect Express your (hopefully) righteous idignation against evil church people song. "Brood of Vipers" by Seventh Star

4. The perfect Zone out and feel enveloped and warm, yet strangely stimulated song.
"Anoint 6" by Ocrilim, aka Mick Barr.

3. The perfect Go completely nutso while maintaining structure in a focused activity song. "The Elimination of Incompetence" by The Flying Luttenbachers

Amy, it's all you now.

Give me another shot of that!!

I have not felt the best for the past 5 days now. (Yeah, what's even worse is the fact that due to not feeling well, I haven't been to the gym since last Thursday :>( Anyhoo, on Sunday, a friend of mine suggested that I try this over-the-counter stuff called EmergenC. It's kind of like Airbourne... I tried the Raspberry EmergenC. It definitely tastes better than Airbourne, but that is probably because it has more sugar. The main ingredient is 1,000 mg of Vitamin C. EmergenC claims to be an "energy booster" on the box. I think I am going to keep taking the stuff on a regular basis for awhile. I'll let you know later if I notice any changes.
But for today, I am feeling better. So, whether it was the EmergenC, or simply time.. I am on the road to recovery.

Can people read other people?

That is a question I ask myself frequently. I want to say, "Yes". Some people tend to be an open book, while others just confuse and bewilder me. Today, while at the gym, I was talking to a friend of mine, when someone I didn't know simply came up and started a conversation with me. Later, my friend commented how she thought that was odd. But, it really isn't odd for me. That happens to me all the time. I love to talk. Can other people who love to talk tell that I also love to talk? It is not uncommon for me to have a lengthy conversation with someone at the store that I have never met before. In fact, last year I bought something on eBay. I sent the lady an email letting her know that I had made the payment and thanked her (in advance) for the item. She sent a reply that went into detail about the plans she had for her day. (Now, that was a bit weird to me).
But back to the question..(Can people tell I love to talk) or, does my willingness to speak in response to their initial question simply encourage the conversation further? So in other words, they didn't know whether or not I would engage in a conversation, but they try it with many people? I don't know. Mark, what do you think?
