This is a little thing that's been going around Live Journal and I thought it would be neat to post it here and see what others' answers are. I added in the T.V. show category myself, the original didn't have it. All you do is for each category list the ones that changed you, not necessarily your favourite things for each category; the ones that mean something. It would also be nice (but is not required) if you would say why they mean something to you. Another note: you don't have to have five answers for each category, you can have more or less than five.
Name Five (5) Albums that changed your life.
1. American Idiot by Green Day
2. Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie by Alanis Morissette
3. Beethoven's Last Night by Trans Siberian Orchestra (made me realize how cool the Fifth Symphony sounds when played by a rock band
)
4. Ten by Pearl Jam (to this day, six years after buying this album, Pearl Jam remains one of my favourite bands)
5. Nevermind by Nirvana (one of the only things that bridged the gap between myself and my older brother Larry)
Name Five (5) Songs that changed your life.
1. Daughter by Pearl Jam (my favourite Pearl Jam song, goes hand in hand with the next song)
2. Perfect by Alanis Morissette (the song is about a parent wanting their child to be perfect, that is how I feel my mother wants me to be)
3. The Dance by Garth Brooks {
yes my life, is better left to chance. I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance} (things may not turn out well, but you should experience them anyway)
4. Excuses by Alanis Morissette (I really shouldn't have two songs by the same artist on here but I do)
5. Colors of the Wind from Pocahantas (taught me about discrimination and how bad it is)
Name Five (5) Movies that changed your life.
1. Lion King (my love of animation continues)
2. Lord of the Rings *all three of them* (made me see how good a book adaptation could be)
3. Star Wars *all six of them* (I love sci-fi
)
4. Kill Bill (kindled my interest in Japan)
5. Life as a House
Name Five (5) Books that changed your life.
1. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling (the fact that I never wanted to read these and that now they are my favourite books is a testament to Jo)
2. Axis Trilogy by Sara Douglass (paved the way for me to read Harry Potter)
3. Shannara Series by Terry Brooks (helped me survive high school)
4. Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing (this has really helped me with my stories)
5. The Bible (is it good or bad that because I read part of this that I am now an atheist?
)
Name Five (5) T.V. Shows that changed your life.
1. Looney Tunes (again with the love of animation)
2. Code Lyoko (I would never have become involved with forums again if I hadn't found this show and Lyoko Freak)
3. C.S.I.
4. Star Trek: The Next Generation (like I said before, I love sci-fi. I'm glad my brother Michael forced me to watch this)
5. Mister Roger's Neighborhood (my favourite T.V. show from when I was little. When I heard that he died
I changed the welcome note on my cell phone so that it read "it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" and that is what it will stay for the foreseeable future)
Now that you know the categories, you can answer them with your own picks.
