It's always really nice when some singer has perfectly captured whatever emotion it is I'm most wanting to feel...

bob gets most of mine.

I don't really have one artist that I can listen to no matter what my mood. I usually have to be in a certain frame of mind for them, although I think I can listen to Relient K and Paramore 98% of the time.

i'm usually in one bob frame of mind or another, but i listen to a lot of stuff.

Variety is the spice of life...right? >.>

yeah. and all the music has its own associations for me, so listening to all of it keeps my brain busy.

Mmhmm.... Certain albums, when I listen to them, take me back to the books I was reading at the time I first started listening to them. Like the first Celtic Woman album. Makes me think of The Great Tree of Avalon trilogy by T.A. Barron. Which I need to reread, incidentally. >.>

pretty sure i have that album.

 

mine take me back to moments in time, incidents or whole summers. memory lane. good and bad and indifferent.

I've been to see Celtic Woman in concert, it was amazing.

 

I think music helps me remember more than anything else ever does. XD

everyone at work loves them.

 

music and smells i think. but more direct with smells, more primal.

Hmm...I can see that....although I don't have too much experience with it. Mostly just smells that made me sick at some point.

that's the general idea i think. avoids getting sick on the same thing twice.

 

but it makes all smells very evocative, even of non-sick events.

I'm sure I'll experience that at some point. XD For now, I just go with having almost no memory of anything. XD

i have the opposite problem.

I can remember events, but my memories are like snapshots of emotion. Anything without emotion attached doesn't matter in my brain. XD

i just got a lot of stuff i can't forget.

I think we all have that problem.... I actually have a hard time with holding grudges. Gotta learn to forgive...

yeah. that's the hard one.

I used not to know what it felt like, true forgiveness.... But I've found, in the last couple of years, that with people I truly care about, I can forgive pretty much anything they do. I don't know what that says about me, that I haven't forgiven half of my siblings for stuff...but there you have it. XD

you have time yet. it's a lifelong learning.

Playing pool in frat houses is fun

I haven't played pool since college.

I've played pool like..once? XD I'm such a loser. >.>

I've only played a few times but I was doing pretty good :)
