So I missed last week’s TTA which was
sound so I am including it in today’s post. I love being able to hear. I mean honestly can you image never having heard
Jack Johnson,
Linkin Park,
Priscilla Ahn (thank you Karen),
Paramore,
Jimmy Eat World,
Zac Efron :),
Chicago,
Cindy Lauper,
Billy Joel or
Chris Brown? I sure can’t. I LOVE music. It adds a level of dimension in my life that I’m not sure I really want to live without. To illustrate my obsession with always having music going … I was upstairs in my bathroom getting ready and had carried my laptop the three flights of stairs to my bathroom so that I could listen to some groovy tunes – a normal activity I thought. My mom then walked past, saw that I was getting ready, continued to walk past, then turned around and came in my bathroom and asked, “You really carried your laptop all the way up here for the thirty minutes it was going to take to get ready?” I then looked at her surprised by her question and innocently replied, “Why of course!” She then continued by asking, “Well, aren’t you slightly worried that your computer will get ruined in the bathroom?” which I then replied, “Oh Mother, my laptop is on a towel at the end of the counter and I’m not using water.” Exasperated with me, she turned around and muttered under her breath as she walked away, “crazy kid.” I didn’t understand why it was such a strange event but I guess to my adorable mom it was.
I should put in a disclaimer though … I believe that my love for music came from my mom. She instilled in me the love for the piano which was my first exposure to the wonderful world of music. Even though she sometimes thinks I’m a little crazy, I just remind her that it’s hereditary.
Smell…have you ever wondered how it was that your nose could smell so many different things and can tell your brain the differences in them? I was always curious and then I took PDBio 220. We had to learn the cranial nerves and then I didn’t really care so much to know how our nose worked. Imagine 12 very small lumps of something that look similar and having to try and figure out which cranial nerve was pinned for your test. Now that I’ve learned that cranial nerve numero uno controls our sense of smell I appreciate that small lump of something a little bit more.
I
love to smell:
Clean babies/small children
So Pink
Bread baking in the oven
Clorox Wipes
Rain
I
hate to smell:
Cigarettes
Spoiled Milk
Bad Breath
Musty Dust balls
Pleasant Grove … seriously driving on I-15 you can smell that city.
Did you know that a dog has
220 million smell-sensitive cells? Imagine that.

We have to at least be related... I'm so with you on the sound thing, but you already know that. I just can't imagine not hearing music nearly every waking moment of the day. And I LOVE smells. I love the smell of the ocean and crisp fall nights. And what smells better than Christmas- the trees and treats.
So smells are awesome, and I wouldn't want to live without them. But sometimes I feel that my nose is way too sensitive to smells and I can hardly stand it. It did help me figure out the problem in our townhouse in Indiana when no one else could smell anything. And music is wonderful, although I know you have a passion for it above and beyond mine.
