This is such a random post, I know. But I started a 90's playlist on my iPhone, and all these memories just started pouring through. Like most people I know, there are songs that define certain parts of one's life. And that definitely holds true to me.
Like Paula Abdul will forever remind me of my tweens. I had her VHS tapes, where I would play them over and over again to memorize the choreography. I was going to be the "Paula Abdul Princess." Because Michael Jackson was the King of Pop and Madonna was the Queen of Pop. So, out of respect to them, I would just be a princess.
Or how Uptown Girl always brings me back to 1986, where I would put on concerts for my mom. Using the fireplace as my stage and taper candles as my microphone.
Or how Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love" reminds me of my 14th Birthday Party, where Lee Anne Guiducci broke it down, using a sleeping bag as her cape.
And how Jewel got me through my biggest high school heartache. Oh, how I remember the nights I would just cry and cry and cry to "You Were Meant For Me." Hell, I even wrote a paper my junior year in high school about him. To this day, I still think of Chris when I hear that song.
And Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me" will remind me of the Summer of '00 when I used Mindy's ID to get into a Purdue Bar.
Ahhhh.....see the memories are great. Music is definitely a driving force of memories. So if I had to make a soundtrack of my life thus far this would be it. Hope these bring back some memories for you, too.

Awesome list Chrissy! Bye Bye Bye and Thong Song remind me of our room (you, me and Scherrie) and when you made me signs that said "you are my sunshine after the rain" after Travis made me cry!
