Addiction.

Music is my drug of choice.

I can't go a day without listening to music. It's on a good majority of the time I am awake. I would say most of the memories I have as a child involved a great deal of music. I remember being left alone for hours and hours in my room, playing all my cassette tapes, records, and then CDs over and over again. I knew every word to ever album I owned. I still do. I own hundreds of CDs. It's an addiction really. I just can't stop buying music. I love finding new artists. I don't even want to begin to think how much money I've spent on music alone in my lifetime. It really is a drug. People don't believe me when I say that I have a bagillion cds. Then they see the collection. And now that iTunes exists...fah-getta-bout it!

I really cannot function without music. It's my life. I live it, eat it, breathe it. I'm obsessed. When I buy music, there is not one single grain of guilt that passes through me. I need that fix. I need to have it. No guilt. So I caved yesterday. I bought the new John Mayer album. Continuum. I am really enjoying it. It's very chill. Very John Mayer. I have satisfied my urge for this week. I wonder what album is going to be next. And of course, I'll take any and all music suggestions! So bring 'em on!
