Defining moments

So, after much deliberating in one particular car journey (I don't remember which one, but I know I was with Hollie) I decided that one of two songs defined my time at university. Both, incidentally are by the same band:

The Killers - Somebody Told Me or Mr Brightside. They both remind me of the Zoo, on a Thursday night, but whenever I hear them they remind me of my best student days.
However, I have something a little more embarrassing to admit to. When I was in 6th form, we used to frequent a club called Liquid (Thursday nights again, as it happens) and several songs remind me of that time.

1) Love Like This Before - Faith Evans ft Fatman Scoop. As chav as the song is, I do still love it.
2) Ignition Remix - R Kelly.
3) Pretty Green Eyes - Ultrabeat.

It's not even like I was a chav in those days. I was just young and having fun and those songs remind me of those times. After Liquid we'd head on over to the chippy for chips, chicken and cheese. Yum. Those were the days.

While we're on the subject, when we moved up in the world to the upper 6th, we had the pleasure of painting the common room the colours of our choice (lilac, turquoise, blue and pink in case you were wondering) and in a crazy moment 4 of us decided to dance to one of the songs on the Gone in 60 Seconds soundtrack. As we shook our asses through the windows we realised there was a class downstairs. Oh, how we laughed.

I've been doing a lot of looking back lately, as you may have guessed but now is a time for looking forward as well. Louby Lou is here at the moment, and she will be staying over the bank holiday weekend. We're going to the Warehouse Project which hopefully, will provide me with more memories, and more defining songs and moments to look back on in a few years and smile about.
