Hey, nifty, you picked the year I graduated so now I don't have to do the meme. =P

[venefica-aura.livejournal.com]

Ha ha! I seriously hadn't even HEARD of half the songs from 2003. Late '90s is my deal. XD

[safety-caesars.livejournal.com]

...I owned the CD single of Cher's "Believe".

*runs*

Slide! I still love that song. And Iris. ♥ Goo Goo Dolls.

And I admit to a shameful weakness for Backstreet Boys. And 98 Degrees.

God, "Please Remember Me." That song is ACE. I love it so much. So, so much: Remember me when you're out walking/when snow falls high outside your door/late at night when you're not sleeping/and moonlight falls across your floor/when I can't hurt you anymore yes. yes.

Since I don't graduate until May, I'll have to try the year I started high school. It's only recently I've started actually listening to the radio, so this'll be... interesting.
