What other books is everyone reading? I am under the impression that everyone is quite close here and on many of the boards, and I am having quite the time making any points of conversation. Saturday, I did go vinyl collecting at Fresh Produce. I picked up a few pieces to add to my shelves. I went to Gottwals too and found myself with more books than anyone needed. Oh, well. Good music and good books are hard to give up.

It has been an extremely long work week. I am so ecstatic that I do not have to answer another phone center call at BCBS until Monday! That means that I can go vinyl collecting tomorrow! Happy early Valentine's to me.

A book club? That sounds nerdishly delicious.

If there is anything I love as much as music, it would be reading. I could devour a library if it would not give me one hell of a stomach ache!

The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz

I found this site a few days ago when I was looking for a place to talk about music and to have conversation with like minded people. I ended up in the Small Talk forum first and made a huge blunder. I still follow the conversation, but I'm afraid that my presence may not be wanted after that.

A lot of tax returns are going to be bad. Unless you have children you are not going to receive anything back.

You can never go wrong with Rush S/T.

Weird Al on the mornings when I cannot get motivated. It is strange, probably cheesy, but oh so true.

I apologize for that for the down vote. I did not realize it was such a terrible thing. I was under the impression that it was to show how you felt about the post itself. The post gave me more of an emotional charge that I had expected. My significant other walked out just easily 10 years into our lives together. I have a child with ADHD and he just walked out one morning when my child was having a meltdown. I begged him to come back. He said no because he didn't want to handle it anymore. My child was not his and therefore not worth the effort. I asked for family counseling and couples counseling. Nothing. I apologize. I let my own emotions get the better of me.

I apologize for the interruption in this conversation, but this bit of speech begged me for more than staying in the shadows as I vowed I would do until I got the rhythm of the place. I would, personally, not say that they were making a fool of themselves. Unfortunately, I have been in a similar situation and from my standpoint I have to say that you should stand back and realize that they kneeled at your feet with their love. It may have been toxic or terrible. I am not sure of which, however, if they said they would not beg and then they did, well, you should count yourself lucky to be so loved in a world that is absolutely loveless.
