Today's Question(s):
What song makes you stop what you are doing and pay attention to nothing else when you hear it?


"So Small" by Carrie Underwood:


Carrie Underwood - So Small - YouTube



What is it about that song that you like so much? It's a great song with a great message! It's a reminder to me of how we often tend to focus on our problems too much and fail to realize the most important thing in life, which is love.

Just for Fun:
Does your toilet paper roll over the top, or down the back? Over the top.

Bonus Question:
Have you ever seen the aurora borealis/australis? No, but I would like to see it.

Today's Question(s):
What song makes you stop what you are doing and pay attention to nothing else when you hear it? - Hmm... I heard a song I liked while driving on the freeway one time and I stopped.. but other drivers were not too happy.. so I stopped doing that.. - Seriously, I don't have one particular song, and I won't stop doing everything else, I'll just listen to any good song..

Just for Fun:
Does your toilet paper roll over the top, or down the back? - Well.. I play football with it.. isn't that what we're supposed to do with toilet paper? Actually, if I understand the question correctly, it's over the top.

Bonus Question:
Have you ever seen the aurora borealis/australis? - Hmm.. I don't think so.. I thought it was the Unidentiedora Flyingis Objectis.. - Actually, I've only see it in pictures.
