Life with Madi

I've been telling everyone it's a road trip, but in actuality it only took me about 20 minutes to drive to my sister's apartment in Denton.  I guess it felt like a road trip since A) I had to use the GPS, B) I was flyin' solo, and C) Highway 35 has a very deserted, road-trip-y feel.  It was fun.  After all, my GPS only toppled down from the window twice (the first time I had to pull over to fix it, and the second time I had to fix it while driving my car 75 miles an hour with only my knees used to steer).   I felt like such a college kid, drivin' back to my college town.  Only when I really drive to my college town, it's going to take a lot longer than 20 minutes to get there (try 18 hours).

I meant to take a picture of me driving and post it, all road-y and fun, but I forgot.  As a substitute, I will post my road trip playlist that got me here without wanting to pull my hair out.   Here it is:


1. Cherry Bomb- The Runaways
(a little badass-ery to start my trip out right)

2. Gotta Reason- Hard-FI
(It's so upbeat and fun.  There's no way I wasn't shakin' a shoulder or bobbing my head.  This song is downright CATCHY)

3. Fans- Kings of Leon
(This is my all-time favorite KOL song.  When they played it at the concert I attended, I nearly dropped dead.  It reminds me of barbeques and summertime and sunglasses and late afternoon.  I love it.)

4. Someone Like You- Adele
(Such a sad song, about how someone she loved has a great life now and is married and all that jazz.  Don't worry, Adele, you'll find someone like him!)

5.  How- Maroon 5
(This is such a cliche love song, but I love cliched love songs so that's GREAT.  It's wonderful.)

As for the person or event that has affected me the most, I guess I'd have to say Natalie Brown.
