2 for 1?
Not much to write today.
Roads were still iced over this morning, caught a ride to work with one of my managers. Work was work (though I was productive), and then spent the afternoon sleeping and watching Legends of Tomorrow
So yeah, not much.
So onto the topic!
Day 19: Discuss your first love.
How about no?
Or how about we mix things up a bit.
Movies and Music.
My mom likes to tell this story. When she took me to see The Little Mermaid back in 1989, I was 3 (who takes a 3-year-old to the movies?). She says that I was enraptured by the screen for the entire film, I didn't fuss, I was hooked. But she knew me, she knew that as soon as the movie finished I would probably get upset and start to cry. So as the movie came to a close, she started to warn me that the movie was going to end. But no matter my mother's warnings, I still started to sob as soon as the movie ended, causing a chain reaction with all the other kids in the theater.
This happened a few more times until I think I got the jist of it, though a part of me still feels like crying when a movie ends. Why would anyone want to leave the magic of the movies?
Now as for the Music. I touched upon this a while back, but the other story mom likes to tell is that I had a number of movie soundtracks on tape cassette. Most were animated movie soundtracks. In case you don't know, usually side A was all of the musical vocal tracks, while side B was the orchestral score. Mom would always try and have the tapes play the vocal side, but I always requested to listen to the score. She was always a little confused about the toddler who insisted on listening to instrumentals, but she'd go along with it. I still listen to mostly instrumental tracks, especially when they come from movie scores.
So those are two short stories of my first two loves. Not what one would expect, but it's true.
