2.) who would you rather go on a date with and why... britney spears,

Well, Nolan, lets see what we can do.

1) A good response to “what are your top 5 favorite books of all time” is slightly easier to answer than that whole album business. I could cop out and say something such as “oh… whatever I am currently reading…” and it would still have plenty of validity. Truth be told, I don’t have a definitive “desert five” list. I’ll give you something close, though.

Albums. Why did you have to ask me that? It’s the impossible question.
Again, I’ll give you whatever is in my cd player right now. It’s the best I can do.

2) Amazing question! Lets do this! First and foremost, lets get a couple of things straight. I am engaged, so I will now and forever prefer to go on a date with my future wife. So, now that that is out in the open, lets discuss the pop stars, shall we? Pink is out from the start because she scares me. Avril also has to go because I’m way too old. Now, if I were about 7 years younger, who knows? It would be tempting to go out with Britney, but she seems to be having something of an identity crises these days. Is she a good girl, or a bad girl? Is she a girl at all, or she a woman? Does she party a lot, or is still a squeaky clean mouseketeer? I don’t know, and don’t really care. She’s off the list. Which leaves us with Christina and Mandy. I like the fact that Christina is staying true to what she says is herself, and has attempted to make grown up, personal music to match. And lets face it, she can actually sing. Good for her, but I got to kick her off the list for the simple fact that she is Christina Aguilara, and I don’t think my mom would approve. So Mandy Moore is the big winner. I really don’t know a thing about her, but she seems like a nice person. There you have it. See you later,
