If you love me, leave me ALONE!

I don't really mean that, it's just that Julie is SO powerful when she sings it and I can't help walking around all day singing it myself.

I used to think that if I had to give up all but one of my senses, the one I'd most want to keep would be sight. I have since changed my mind. As much as I love seeing things, I would be a gloomy soul if not for music. How about you? What would be the last thing you would part with?

Work tonight was pretty boring. I actually didn't sit at the switchboard at all, which is a major change of pace for me. Cave is switching her Saturday shifts to Thursdays, which makes me happy because it means she'll work with me. The insufferable Shayla was also granted a Thursday night, which makes me want to quit rightthisinstant, but I think I'll be able to tough it out for a bit longer, anyway. It's not that I like working at the switchboard all that much, it's just that that's when you get to talk to all the stupid people and later tell stories and make fun of them. So while work wasn't bad tonight, I am woefully lacking for funny stories of idiocy. Sorry.

That's just there, well, because. It's good to ponder from time to time. I <3 Socialists :)

Peace.

how about touch. Sexual pleasure. backrubs. Hugs. knowing when you were in pain--and being able to remedy what was wrong.

It's a challenge, there.

Sight. Sound. Touch.

Taste...
Bacon-wrapped sea-scallops.
Veal. Lobster-tail. Myers and Coke. Guinness.

Smell...
Easy to go first. eff that.

Of sight, sound, and touch...

I really don't know.

Sound...I mean...a loved one's voice. Mussorgsky's pictures (the brass, in the Great Gate of Kiev)...the blues. All of them. Music, oh God music.

Sight would mean so much independence--no more driving, no more reading (until I learned braille--and even then, unless I chose feel...)

What a cruel deal.

You can have people read to you. Sexual pleasure is nice but I'd give it all up for music. I love Jeremy, but the love I feel for him doesn't depend on his touch, looks, or voice. I'd hate to not be able to drive, or look at the mountains, and luckily this is just a hypothetical question, but my life IS a soundtrack. I could never give up music.

I think sight is it for me, I really do.
