And An Island Never Cries

Current Song: "Collapse" -- Sparta

I went on a magical mystery quest into the nether reaches of my computer and pulled up all of the music files I could find, and I discovered that I have a lot of really good stuff, like Sparta. Also, because this computer belonged to my parents before it got in a car accident and came to live with me, I also ended up with a lot of classic rock and folk (Simon and Garfunkel, Jim Croce, Moody Blues, etc. -- great stuff) and country (Martina McBride, Willie Nelson, etc. -- not great stuff.) I ditched the Martina McBride and two Peter, Paul & Mary songs ("Puff the Magic Dragon" and "If I Had A Hammer") because I couldn't imagine a scenario in which I would want to listen to them, but I kept everything else. It's not totally unlikely that I will find myself wanting to listen to Merle Haggard sometime, right?

It recently occurred to me that I am going to be spending a full week with my parents soon. A week. With my parents. Who I have not seen in nearly two years. With whom I have had a somewhat colorful relationship. Have I mentioned that they live in a rural area on an island in the Puget Sound that lacks public transportation? And I don't have a driver's license? What am I doing?

Also, if I am anyone, I am Eponine.
