Remembery Songs

I have a love/hate relationship with Memory Songs. In case you don't know memory songs are songs that remind you of a certain event or person in your life. In general the memory songs that remind me of events in my life are the good ones and the ones that remind me of people are bad ones. To me some songs are like smells are to some people, I can hear them and close my eyes and almost feel like I am back at the place where I made the memory connected to the memory song. I generally don't close my eyes on the ones that remind me of people, I'll wind up seeing the person it reminds me and I'll get angry or sad or some some kind of angry/sad combo pack. There are some people who have a whole remembery band or artist connected with them like my High School boyfriend John and Areosmith or my Jason and I.C.P. , although even those two have certain songs by those bands that are the most commonly thought of when I think of them. I hate it when I song I really like becomes a bad rememebery song, like the song Teardrop by Massive Attack, which is also the theme song to House, but today I actually listened to it all the way through while getting ready for the clinic, so I am going to TRY to make that my memory for that song now. I try that sometimes, to make a new memory for a song when it has a bad memory attached to it, if I can get through the song without getting too upset. I wonder sometimes though why certain memories stick so well in my head. Some memory songs are for things that make total sense to remember, like that the song The Joker by Steve Miller was the song that a big group of us sang one time when I was in Sacred Heart. Other times I'm not so sure why it sticks in my head so well, like the song Take a Picture by Filer and driving in the snow to buy a Christmas Ornament shaped like a cat. Why do I remember that at all, let alone the fact that I heard that song on my way? Some things are just strange like that I guess.

Chasin' all the field mice and bumpin' on the head

Oh No. We have mice and we thought we plugged the hole yesterday. I just went into the kitchen and saw more than on (4) trying to get into the plugged hole. They all scartted and scared the shit out of me because I didn't expect any, or that many, I'd only seen one before. They ran under the fridge and into my living room and under the couch. I want to take my mouse whackin stick (yes I have one, its a long broom handle) and run it under the couch but I'm scared they'll run towards me. That will freak me out. Ickky Poo.

More Crap about Steener

Well. This is it. The Steener News Network. You just KNOW you've been waiting for it almost your whole life. Or not. But either way, this is my new blog. I'm working on at least 2 other blogs. One of them being my blog for random crap I want to say/show people and the other one a take off on the coolest website I've found in awhile. It'll be called "Stuff Junkies Like" I've only thought of about 3 things, which is odd, but if you can think of any tell me. I already have: 24 hour pharmacies, Chocolate, Purses/bags w/removealbe straps and Stores with lax retun policies. So gimmie a yell if you think of any other ones. Cool.
