My Top 10 Songs of 2013

First things first, thank you for the positive feedback on my post yesterday where I appealed to women to stop making their engagements annoying.

Now onto the good stuff. Here's my top ten of songs of 2013 (in no particular order)!

1. Justin Timberlake - Mirrors


Justin Timberlake came back this year. In case you didn't know, this was kind of a big deal. Suit & Tie was a great song but I think Mirrors topped it.

2. Drake - Hold On, We're Going Home



You can say whatever you want about Drake but, jokes aside, getting in touch with his emotional side helped him sell 658,000 copies of Nothing Was the Same in its first week. In other news, Drake is the type of guy who cuddles with a teddy bear to help him sleep at night.

3. Beyonce - Drunk in Love


Speaking of top selling albums, if you haven't heard that Beyonce surprised fans by releasing an album without any advertising beforehand, you've been living under rock. For the record, she did release a surprise album. Also for the record, it sold 828,773 copies in only three days. Just in time to make this list.

4. Katy Perry - Roar


This song was definitely a hit throughout the year. If you haven't heard Olivia Wise's cover of it (or know of her story) you need to listen to it. It's because of her that I had to have Katy on this list.

5. Ariana Grande - The Way


Confession: I used to watch Victorious. Victoria Justice and Ariana Grande were both in it and they were both fabulous.  Now that the show is over, they can focus on their singing careers. Ariana has been blowing people away with her amazing voice. I kid you not, she sounds just like Mariah Carey.

6. Jay Z featuring Justin Timberlake - Holy Grail


This song was so great because it focused on the love/hate relationship these two artists have for fame. Plus it's Jay Z and Justin Timberlake, so....

7. Demi Lovato - Heart Attack


This girl transformed herself this year and it's wonderful to see. She came back fighting as a strong artist that can let the haters go. Go Demi!

8. will.i.am feat Justin Bieber - #thatPOWER


Say what you want but I spent the whole summer singing and dancing to this song. It was a hit. Face it.

9. Lorde - Royals


As overplayed as this song is, it's a fantastic song. She's a strong and honest artist. We need more like her.

10. Rihanna - Stay


Besides her amazing performance in the video, critics alike rated this song well, despite critics wanting to dislike it.

The song that I disliked the most goes to Robin Thicke ft. T.I., Pharrell for Blurred Lines.

My Dog Takes After Me

I was really excited that Jade and Oak and Karly Kim were doing another Pets Are People Too link-up! The title of this link-up is so appropriate since Misty is so similar to me. Don't believe me? See for yourself!

She's a terrible driver.


But she always wears her seatbelt. 


Sometimes, she gets her nails painted.


Then she ruins them by going for a long walk.


When she isn't going for a walk, she enjoys going flying.


And spending time with her boyfriend.


But, she's always loyal to Andrew. Cuddles with him are her favourite.


She's okay cuddling with me too.

Finish the Sentence!


This is my first time linking up for Finish The Sentence Linkup with Jake and Holly!

So let's get to it!

1. I laughed so hard I cried when... I looked in the mirror. No wait, what? There have been so many times it's hard to pinpoint it. There was that time Mike, Anjru and I skipped along the streets of downtown Toronto singing a song from the Lion King and random people started joining in. I got a good cry out of that. 
2. My high school...was ghetto. Real ghetto. My second high-school was the opposite extreme. Preppy and stuck up. So, I went to a third high school. It was just right!
3. It really pisses me off... when people don't say thank you when I hold the door open for them. Don't think I won't remember your face and slam the door in it next time. 
4. In ten years...I'll be rich and famous aliens will rule the world.
5. If I could erase one thing...it would be those ridiculous photos of me at a party gone wrong back when I was 19. I know those photo's still lurk on someone's Facebook.. and their computer.
6. In 1999... I was obsessed with Aaron Carter. I mean obsessed. Like, I'd write his name + my name over and over in my agenda. It's sickening. I know.
7. Honestly... I can't say no to cake. Hint: if you'd like to lure me anywhere, just offer me cake.
8. To me, Sushi... is overpriced. 
9. Someone really needs to invent...a transporter tube. Seriously, rush hour traffic sucks. I'd love to be sucked into a tube and end up at my intended destination. Alright, that sounds a bit weird..
10. The first time I drank alcohol... my mom had offered to me. It was a beer. I was curious as to why she was drinking it. She told me it would taste terrible and I should never start drinking it. I tried it. She was right. Come age 23, I found myself enjoying beer. Sorry, mom.
11. The one question I would ask God is... just one question? Seriously? I've got a butt-load of questions to ask.
12. Lindsay Lohan...once tried to get into music, but that failed just like she did at life.

So What Wednesday

Today I'm linking up with Shannon at Life After I Dew for So What Wednesday and Shanna at Because Shanna Said So... for Random Wednesday.

  • So what... If I'm doing yet another link up.
  • So what... If I should be doing things at work, but instead I'm creeping on your blog.
  • So what... If I plan to go away for the weekend and take my other half with me. YOLO! 
  • So what... If I just said YOLO.
  • So what... If my Blackberry restarts on its own when I try to write a text message. It doesn't do it all the time and I'm not ready to move on to an iPhone.
  • So what... If it's 11am and I still haven't finished my coffee and bagel. I've been busy. Sue me.
  • So what... If my little brother is getting a bit of an attitude. He takes after his sister. Have fun, dad!
