Geesh! what a nerd!

Apparently, nerdiness does not fade with age. Nor does it change. I guess, once a nerd, always a nerd.
That being said, I got tagged with a meme, which told me to: (and I quote)

1. Go to Pop Culture Madness;
2. Pick the year you turned 18;
3. Get yourself nostalgic over the songs of the year;
4. Write something about how the songs affected you; and
5. Pass it on to 5 more friends.

So, here it is. The songs of 2001, and my reactions to them: dun ta dun!!!

November 18, 2000 - February 2, 2001: Independent Women - Destiny's Child
Never heard it. Next?

February 3 - February 16: It Wasn't Me - Shaggy featuring Ricardo "RikRok" Ducent
Hate it, hate it, HATE IT!!! I only heard it one time, and that was from a fellow band student who was singing it one day as we were going to class, but I couldn't get that STUPID chorus out of my head. I had to sing Disney and Church songs to myself for a week before I started forgetting the words.

February 17 - February 23: Ms. Jackson - OutKast
Don't know it.

February 24 - March 23: Stutter - Joe
Um....don't know this one either.

March 24 - April 6: Butterfly Crazy Town
Nope. (are we sensing a pattern here?)

April 7 - April 13: Angel - Shaggy featuring Rayvon
No clue.

April 14 - July 1: All For You - Janet Jackson
Huh?

June 2 - July 6: Lady Marmalade - Christina Aguilera / Lil' Kim / Mya / Pink
Now, THIS one, I know. The only memory I have of it is from Moulin Rouge. Good movie, no? Weird song, but whatever.

July 7 - August 3: U Remind Me - Usher
No idea.

August 4 - August 17: Bootylicious - Destiny's Child
Don't know it. Weird title, though.

August 18 - September 28: Fallin' - Alicia Keys
Love it!! This is such a great song, but I don't actually remember listening to it until the summer AFTER I turned 18, when I stayed with my sister and she had the cd and we listened to it on our way to her classes.

September 29 - November 2: I'm Real - Jennifer Lopez featuring Ja Rule
Nope. Not ringing a bell.

November 3 - December 14: Family Affair - Mary J. Blige
Don't know it.

December 15, 2001 - January 25, 2002: U Got It Bad - Usher
AND......don't know it.



See what I mean about NERDY? These were THE songs of that year, and I had NO clue that most of them even WERE songs. sigh. I'll never be cool. (oh, and I don't have 5 friends. So, I guess I'm too nerdy to even pass this on.)


On the plus side, I did it!
