I Need To Sing

I love music. I really do. I listen to a variety of country, American Idol contestants, and 80's music. I have this insane need to know all the words to all the songs I hear. This gets quite annoying when I am in the car and hear a song for the first time. I make everyone shut up, then I turn up the music and listen to the words. If I like the song, I will make it a point to look up the lyrics online when I get home.

I can not sing. At all. But I love to sing. In fact, I can not listen to a song without singing it. This can get annoying when I am in the car and I love the song that comes on. I make everyone shut up so that I can sing along. The only bright light in this situation is that the radio usually drowns out my singing.

The same can not be said when I am sitting here at the computer, especially when I am dropping ecards (which in and of itself is really boring). I used to do it at midnight, but then decided that I like my sleep more than blog traffic, so I started doing it at night after supper. Since my desk is in the living room, I can either listen to whatever drivel the kids or Junior are watching on television, or I can put on my mp3. The only problem with that is that when I put on my mp3, I have to sing along, and since it is my own mix of music, I know every word to every song.

So I sing.

Badly.

Well, tonight Junior started making fun of me, and he really hurt my feelings. The thing is, I know I can't sing, but I can't stop. Even when I told him I would never sing again, two minutes later I was singing again, and I didn't even realize it. Which just led him to making fun of me even more.

He actually told me to go mow the grass so I would sing outside where no one would hear me.

Oh, how I wish it were summertime....

my own mother has told me I can't sing. it does sort of hurt, but oh well, I LOVE IT!!

I also always sing w/ the radio, sometimes Bryan will change the song bc of my horrid singing voice, I don't care. I've even sang Kareoke (spelling, I know it isn't right, but too lazy to change it! lol ) anyway... I just don't give a shit. i know i suck. if i didn't i'd be paid to sing. i'd be famous and RICH and everyone would like to hear me, but it isn't the case, so what. it makes me happy and I LOVE doing it!! ~ and it's so funny bc as i was leaving you all these comments I am listening to the playlist on my blog as the background, and i've been singing along, LOUDLY!! :) go for it. love it. do it. and don't let anyone stop you!! and when we meet up we will sing together badly!! and be VERY happy!! :) plus I love all the kinds of music you listed!! it'll be PERFECT!!!
