Denial is not a river in Egypt
Why didn't any of y'all tell me that I was an addict.
I had no idea untill today when I was trying to figure out why I wasn't getting anything done, and I decided that it was because I was so busy managing my music that nothing else was happening. Also, all of the music that I listen to makes me frustrated for some reason.
So I decided to try to move furniture in my room without any music. It was terrible. I couldn't go any time at all without thinking about turning music on. As soon as I had put the thought out of my head it came back again. It was so bad that after half an hour I had to put on the Tarzan soundtrack, but that doesn't count because it's mostly instrumental...well, partly instrumental.
Maybe I should have realized this when it was worth three trips up and down six flights of stairs at school from the computer lab to my room to retrieve my cd player, batteries, AND a cd (that can also be blamed on my absent mindedness but whatever) so that I could listen to music while I checked my email. Or when I had to drive with my hand on the radio button because that was the only way it worked. Or when I broke four cd players in one year (you mean they're not supposed to be disposable ?).
So the only thing that I'm actually commiting to is to cut back and see what happens. Hopefully I'll be less frustrated and have more time!!!

Hope, you're an addict.
There, somebody told you.
hey Hope I wanted to talk to you about some addictions in your life...oh wait...Nathan already told you. Well I guess we BOTH saw a problem there.

Both of you close your eyes for a moment and imagine my best glare, just for you. I am in serious music withdrawal. I keep sitting in the van listening to the radio after I get somewhere because that's the only time I'm listening to music. All that to say that you do NOT want to mess with me right now.

GACK! ACK! ARRGH! Not the GLARE!
Hope, you can beat this. Try a patch, you know, the kind that releases a few lines into your system to help you control the cravings... or maybe a 12 steps program or the gum....
I'm addicted too. Just give in to it babe.
Or we could start a support group--Music Addicts Anonymous.
But I guess it wouldn't really be anonymous anymore...
