Wednesday: Getting to Know You Day
It's Wednesday on Create a Connection or CaC for short.
That means you get to know some stuff about me, and you share the same stuff. Last week, I saw your intuition at work, not to mention your stellar ability to find outrageous Elvis photographs.
This week, you get to know how much I love books and music. Sometimes, I'm able to have both simultaneously.
High Fidelity by UK author Nick Hornby is one of these books.
The underachieving main character, Rob, owns a record store, has had a crappy love life and is forever making Top Five songs lists to suit the occasion.
I laughed out loud at his lousy choices, his slacker employees, and his angst about fidelity while he revisited all of his former loves.
Fill in your pics for Top Five songs in the categories below.
(It's OK if you can only think of one song per category).
