Eric: I'd love to hear the stories behind those screen names. Also, the name Sophie is charming. As is Olivia, but I digress.

Ann: I think I need a pair of "super-soft pin-striped brown trousers". Where does one find these?

btw, I should have specified earlier--the original meme only asked for "3 favorite songs". To accomodate my own brand of obsessive music-listening, I had to add the "3 songs I've been listening to obsessively" category. I apologize for any confusion.

And now, back to our regular programming.
