A Couple Weeks Old But Still Accurate

'Cause I was bored today I made lists of my top thirteen favorite
— actors and actresses
— albums
— bands (and top thirteen favorite songs by each of those bands … except for one of them but … I’ll get to that)
— two lists of books (one for chapter books, one for picture books)
— comedians
— foods
— movies (and my top thirteen least favorite movies; also one list of Disney movies)
— musicals
— musician crushes
— songs to sing at karaoke
— two lists of television shows (one for live action, one for animated)
