Out Of Sound, Out Of Mind

If I didn't have music in my life, I would probably go super crazy. >_< I can't stand a silent house.
I always have to have some music playing in the background. I'll even leave music playing, so that it's the first thing I hear when I come home from work. It's a comfort. I lose myself in it all the time.
<3

It used to be that I couldn't sleep without music. When I was in law school, I slept with headphones on. The walls in my efficiency were paper thin and there was a night club around the corner, so I was killing two birds with one stone, really.  Hehe. If you're curious about the kinds of things I listen to, you can check out my music blog, by the way. :D At any rate, I had always slept with music playing until my partner and I moved in together and we quickly discovered how light of a sleeper he was. =[~

Yep. I'm pretty obsessed with sweet beats. :D If you're like me, you tend to seek out and congregate with other audiophiles. So, it should come as no surprise that I met my partner of 13 years on a music message board on the internet. Haha. Our first date involved a night of dancing to house music. I used to listen to him spin disco house at his apartment. We shared CDs (yeah, remember those old things? o_O) and we'd listen to them together in his car several days a week. Every time we went out together, music was always at the center of our activities. He has a degree in audio engineering, too! ^_^

I can't help but feel like my partner and I were destined to be together. :3 Two peas in a pod made of vinyl. Hehe. So, I really loved the print on this tee when I first saw it. It depicted a feeling that I understood all too well. The print is a bit faded, since I've had it for probably 5+ years and I wear it often. For today's outfit, I simply added faux leather and a cozy knit for a comfortable, casual look. :P
I found myself thinking, 'I wish I had a leather collar to add to the shirt' and then I remembered that I *do* have a leather collar. It just happens to be on a dress. Hehe. So, I wore the dress underneath. ^_^

That cardigan is perfection! The colours are so beautiful, and it looks so cosy :3

I totally get the music thing. Until I moved in with my partner I was falling asleep every night with my ipod in (I stopped because spooning and earphones don't mix :s)

Do you listen to any folk music? (Cause I play in two bands...)

Hehe. Thanks! :DDD I do listen to folk music every now and then. I used to listen to it a lot more when I was younger. Ahh, I knew you were in a band, but I didn't know you were in *two*! The sound of Vanishing Shapes reminds of me Beiruit. I like your songs quite a lot! <3

I love your skirt! Music is so so important to me in my life. My brother is a musician and I have been in love with music--ALL music--for ever. I am not a TV person, but I have music on all the time--cooking, cleaning, driving, etc.

Rad! Yeah, I feel like any time is a good time to listen to music. So, I totally get that. Hehe :D I forgot to mention that my partner was in a punk band. He's the best. <3

This is so cute! I love the bit about you and your partner listening to music like the print on the t-shirt.

OMG another granny cardigan. <3

Also, you and your partner are too cute. I can totally understand your love for your shirt. Totally sweet. Also 13 years?! That is like... forever. I'm imagining you as an old couple dottering around listening to your beats and wearing grandpa sweaters together. ;) You're welcome.
