Preoccupied…

January 7th, 2005

I’ve been preoccupied lately.  In part with things that I’ve already written about here, but also about random things that stop in my mind and stay for a while…

This song has been one of few consistently stuck in my head for a while.  That and my favorite Anthem song are the two I’ve been bouncing back and forth between. 

 I miss having music around me constantly, but in order to listen at work, I need headphones, and then I’m mostly cut off from a very musically-oriented group of people.

That’s one of the answers I’ve discovered.  I’ve been wondering for years why so many technical people are musically inclined, but I think it has a lot to do with it all being math.  I explained to my son the other day that music is math, and so are computers.  Several days later, it all clicked in my own head.  

I feel very comfortable where I’m working right now.  I love walking down the hall and hearing snippets of geek-chat.  And it’s all geek chat around there.  I’m surrounded by programmers, techies, scientists, researchers.  It’s like a dream come true, only I didn’t know I was having that dream.

I’ve decided that I don’t understand why I feel so comfortable sending my feelings and personal thoughts out to the internet world.  I enjoy my anonymity in a lot of ways, but when writing my blog, I just let it all out.  It’s funny, if this were a book journal, I would be very protective.  In a lot of ways I’d feel invaded if people were to read something so private, but in this format I just don’t mind.  I guess it gives me a way to allow people to get to know me without giving too much of myself away.

Random thoughts and feelings are fair game, I guess.  I don’t think I really get into detail, because the details I already know.  All I really need is a trigger for those memories.
