:O

it occurred to me today that i've always had this obsessive tendency to repeat anything i heard in a foreign language, regardless of how well i understand it, and to pester people for more and repeat more and it is so fun, so pleasurable, exactly my same obsessive tendency when there are melodies floating in my head (a pop song, a classical piece, the tune of the last commercial on tv) to play these melodies on any musical instrument i can get my hands on, and when there is no instrument hum it and try to put it down on score

i wonder when it started? was i like this in my youth? i know i've been doing the melody thing since elementary school. i noticed that neal does the language thing too. is it a musician thing? but i wouldn't really call myself a musician because i don't take it that seriously...

food for thought.
