Classes were set to start on Tuesday, with Monday reserved for Orientation for the new students. Notice I said were…
A couple of things: I’d Really Love To See You Tonight is one of my favorite songs ever. So is She’s Gone.
Second - I posted about this somewhere ages ago, but when I was little, my mom used to make us stand on a towel and she’d cover us in baby powder after a bath . Then she’d start to sing, “Shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake your boooooooty.” For most of my younger years, I thought she had made that song up for us, and I was devestated the first time I heard it on the radio.
Can I at least note I was only 5? LMAO
I LOVE #5 and DESPISE #40! Oh, how I hate that song!
rock’n roll all nite! KISS! woohoo!
How funny - If You Leave Me Now is one of my all-time favorite songs!! I never knew when it came out, but I knew it was pretty old.
Man, there was some GREAT tunes from that year. I was only 3…heh. *runs*
She’s Gone..hah. I sing that in my car..LOUDLY. And with FEELING! I am so lame.
LOL
