Dear Friends,
After being on Xanga for 3 years, I have decided to exit the World of Xanga. I have gotten more responsibilities at work(I am one of the toddler teachers now, which is very exciting) and I just don't have the time that I would like to keep it up. I am also closing down my Myspace account as well. But never fear friends, you can find me on Facebook, my e-mail is theaterfan23@yahoo.com and also still keep in touch by e-mail at that address as well. I also have a great idea to start a children's book blog and I want to take some time to develope that. That is all I have to share.   I will officially shut my Xanga down, next Sunday.

Keep in touch,
Kylee

I got my ipod in December and I have been relying on my friend Jamie's computer to upload all of my tunes which was a great help but now my sister has a computer so I put my ipod on her computer and I have been frequenting itunes.  In the last few days, I have gotten 35 new songs.  25 of the songs came from a giftcard that I received for my birthday and 10 were my own purchases.  I purchases my last 10 songs individually and then I read in my ipod book that you can set it to a shopping cart feature so you can purchase everything at once, which I will do as I have more songs I need to get tonight.  So here are the 35 new songs on my ipod, with more to be added soon:

Bleeding Love--Leona Lewis

Low--Flo Rida

Don't Walk Away--Cheyenne Jackson(from the new broadway musical Xanadu)

No One--Alicia Keys

Stars--London Cast of Les Miserables

Master of the House--London Cast of Les Miserables

No Air--Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown

Tattoo--Jordin Sparks

Kiss the Girl--Colbie Caillat(this version is absolutely wonderful!!!)

A Long December--Counting Crows

Street Corner Symphony--Rob Thomas

Little Wonders--Rob Thomas

Now Comes the Night Rob Thomas

Take a Bow--Rhianna

The Time of My Life--David Cook

Love Song--Sara Bareilles

Aplogize--OneRepublic

You Want to Make a Memory--Bon Jovi

New York State of Mind--Adam Pascal(of RENT--I love this version!!!)

Brave--Idina Menzel

Tell Me on a Sunday--Bernadette Peters from the Webber musical Song and Dance

Bridge of Trouble Water--Linda Eder

Precious Lord, Take My Hand--Selah

Boston--Augustana

1234--Feist

Diamonds of the Soles of Her Shoes--Paul Simon

Breakfast at Tiffany's--Deep Blue Something

Boogie Shoes--KC and the Sunshine Band

Caro--Milly Quezada(this is a Merengue, one of my favorite ballroom dances)

El Mamboleo--Los Ocho de Colombia(another Merengue)

If My Friends Could See Me Know--Sweet Charity(Christina Applegate version)

The Mighty Quinn(Quinn the Eskimo)--Manfred Mann(I cannot tell you when I first heard this song, but I was really young and I have always loved it)

Have a Little Faith In Me and finally To Love Somebody

There are several versions of the last two songs that it took me a long time to decide which ones I wanted to be a part of my collection.  Have a Little Faith in Me was originally done by John Hiatt and also covered by Joe Cocker, Jewel(who cites Hiatt as one of her inspirations), and Mandy Moore.  I have always loved Joe Cocker voice and I thought that his version was the best.  To Love Somebody was originally done by the BeeGees and there are so many versions of this song.  Jordin Sparks did an outstanding version on American Idol which was the best version ever according to Barry Gibb of the Beegees, but it was not available on itunes so I choose Michael Bolton's version, which is lovely.

Gotta go to work

Chao,

Kylee

Right now, I am active on Xanga, Facebook, MySpace, Gather(another blog type site, where you get points for posting and commenting and you can get giftcard.  I have already gotten two 25 dollar gift cards.  It is quite a nifty site), and I just started a blog  stoplistenwrite.blogspot.com and I plan a keeping on top of that.  The benefit of being on Xanga and similar sites is to keep in touch with friends and family, share pictures, stay updated on life, etc.  I Think I will probably get rid of Facebook and MySpace but I am not quite share as there are many on there that I only have contact with because of those sites.  We are busy people, I understand, but there is just so much to keep tract of.  So the first thing that I will do is get rid of my Myspace first.
