I keep trying to keep myself grounded lately. Like I am afraid that if I let myself think, my head will float away. I have stayed in constant contact with the outside world, even though work has got me so busy that I can barely form a complete sentence. But it has paid off. I feel comfortable and only a little anxious. (Of course, this might have something to do with the massive amounts of free Chardonnay that I have consumed over the past few days.) And today someone gave me a mix CD.

I don’t know if you know this about me, but “High Fidelity” might as well have been about me. Music is huge in my life. Huge in a way that, if someone gives me a mix CD, it is more precious than anything else I can think of. It means that that person sat down and said to themselves, “What would Crystal want to hear? What makes me think of her? What would make her smile?” And that, my friends, is a beautiful thing. Especially when unplanned. I have received two in the past week. And I love it. I even love “Crystal Hates Music Volume III”, despite the title. A mix CD = Love. At least where this girl is concerned.

I love that people can remember the one song that you freak out about when someone sings it at karaoke. I love that they know the song that plays during your favorite part in your favorite movie. I love that people know the song that makes you melt every time you hear it. It makes me smile. So, to you CD makin’ friends, mad props.

On to other things…

So, the above horoscope freaked me out a little. It has been doing that quite often lately. That is exactly what I meant about it being so right on sometimes. It kind of makes me want to run away.

Seriously though, no one is going to do this blogathon thing with me? Seriously? It is for charity, you selfish bastards! Besides that, I am going to need someone to help keep me awake all night. I can’t really do it on my own…and right now, (thanks to dat machineghost) I have 8 bucks riding on me. Heh. Selfish bastards.
