Do you remember the movie "High Fidelity"?
Based on the novel of the same name, the movie follows the "quarter-life" crisis of a thirty-something record-store owner who has to face the fact that he's growing up.
It's been a long time since I've seen this movie, but the things I remember most about it are the ongoing discussion about "mix tapes" and the main character's top five lists. As I recall, he had top five lists for everything.
Something reminded of this movie recently and it sparked an idea... I should start coming up with own top five lists and post them here.

Besides, I haven't made a mix tape since junior high, maybe even grade school... I guess the kids have iTunes for that now.
Just like with everything related to this blog, it's purely for my entertainment, but I certainly hope you will enjoy them as well.
Here's one to get you started...
The top five best days of my life:
5. The day I realized that I didn't have to be "pre-med" if I didn't really want to be. I went on to graduate with a psychology degree which I actually enjoyed earning...
4. The first day of Spring semester sophomore year of college. My plane landed in Roma, Italia and I was about to start my studies aboard. With that first whiff of cigarette smoke and diesel fuel, I knew that I would never be the same again.
3. The day I handed my resignation to my ungrateful supervisor at my thankless, first (post-college) ad agency job a mere NINE hours before we lost the account I worked on. Is that timing or what?
2. My wedding day. It was almost worth the fourteen months of hell... er, planning. Seeing my husband grinning at that altar made it perfect... After that, I stopped caring about "who said what" or worrying about "what went wrong".
1. Nothing tops an entire day of LABOR, followed by major surgery. Yup, I'm talking about the day my son was born. Every day since then has just gotten better and better.
