So, I haven’t really used a music service for a while, kind of got out of the habit bc for almost 11 months my entire team got moved to being on phones on a temporary work assignment, which means I didn’t get to listen to music while I worked. It sucked. Back to my normal job now, but I just haven’t got back into the habit! So I’m just gonna list my top ten ‘listened to’ for the last few weeks/months, in no particular order. So quite a bit of nostalgia ‘I haven’t listened to this in a while’ stuff here 😊

1. Restless Man - Radio Company  - I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it, and I’ve listened to it SO MUCH!

2. Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting - Elton John 

3. Zombie - Bad Wolves

4. Turn the Page - Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

5. Tennessee Whiskey - Chris Stapleton

6. Missile - Dorothy

7. Blue on Black - Five Finger Death Punch (with Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Brantley Gilbert & Brian May)

8. In Chains - Shaman’s Harvest

9. Wait in the Truck - Hardy (Just a note - this song was used on Big Sky, hadn’t heard it before then)

Tea, coffee, or soda? Usually soda. I’ve not been drinking it as much lately.

Dogs or cats? Cats, always. So huggable.

Can you play an instrument? No. I want to learn to play drums.

What’s your sun sign? Aquarius.

First song lyrics that came into your head. Head empty. For once.

Do you have any tattoos? None. One time I was accidentally poked with a pencil and the mark stayed for a long time, but that was ages ago. It’s gone, of course.

Favorite place you’ve traveled. Canada. I don’t remember it much now, but I was with friends and that makes it special.

What’s the last movie you watched? Huh, I think it really was Silent Parade. For some reason I thought I’d watched something else after that. Maybe I did and I’ve just forgotten.

What languages do you speak? I can carry a passable conversation in Spanish, but it is peppered with ‘how do you say’. I understand far more than I can speak it.

Do you have any hobbies? I cook, I sew, I make fanvids; I make art when I have time, and I write. Are they hobbies or lifelines?

You can hang out with one fictional character for an hour. Who do you choose? Jimmy Bond, of the Lone Gunmen. I know we’d be able to talk well together.

Compliment yourself. Do you see me? Do you see how I am here? I did that. I did that over ten long years of learning just how unloved I am to one person who tried to carve me to pieces. I sewed myself back together. It still hurts, but I’m still here.

“Because I know what it is like to be a warrior between wars, to have had everything at stake, followed by a sudden conclusion. I recall, as a young warrior, the blood in my veins still craving the fight, when others around me were preparing for the long sleep.” Laughter rumbled up from deep within. “I was not popular for a while.”

“What did they do? Read you a bedtime story?”

Todd frowned. “Why would a recitation help? A tale of brave deeds would be stirring and not likely to lead to a peaceful descent into slumber.”

“It’s just a thing we do. For kids, you know.” John shrugged. “Stories about, er, talking animals and so on.”

“Animals that converse verbally? Do you have such on Earth?”

“No, just in stories. They’re cute. I guess. ‘Once upon a time there were three little pigs…’”

“Pigs? These are animals that children like?”

“Er, well, no, they’re kinda smelly. Good eating, though. Ribs, sausage; you can cook ‘em whole if you’ve got a big enough grill.”

“That is a most unpleasant thought. And your young ones would be distressed at the carcass of a story character being burnt before their eyes!”

Sheppard’s mouth opened and his brows furrowed. “I think that came out all wrong.”

“Human culture is mystifying and, I believe, Earth culture especially so.”
