A confession.
I have nothing to update about. In fact, my head has been completely devoid of any kind of activity for the last couple of days or so... I've gotten used to turning it off for extended periods of time, and I have trouble turning it back on. :-) But I would like to use this forum to admit something mildly shameful, that may lower your opinions of me. I have to get it out there, though... I can't keep operating under false pretenses like this. OK, here it is. *deep breath* I've started listening to country stations on occasion. That's not really the bad part, though. The bad part is that I'm starting to LIKE them. *ducks head* I grew up in a region where the population contained just enough rednecks to constitute a significant minority in school, and if you lived out in the country, you scrupulously avoided anything that may associate you with that stereotype, including plaid flannel shirts, bandannas, boots and C&W music. Now, having spent four years in a place with almost no redneck population, I find myself appreciating country music for the first time. It's... wholesome. ^^ The rhymes are charmingly awkward, the topics range from unrealistically sad to laugh out loud funny and everything in between, and there's a lot of real life emotion and experience in there. I don't know how long this sudden burst of affection for C&W will last, but I just had to confess- it was eating me up inside. I hope that none of you will hold it against me. :-)
