Listing Favorites

A large number of things are changing for me. The way I spend my money is one change. Few people have racked up the extreme amount of debt by wasting it on music and movies that I have. In celebration of this, I decided to compile a few lists to honour the pop culture obsession that has been built during my time here. Why? Because at heart I am a huge dork. There is no order to each list.
