On my list of 52 favorite things, I would have to include "finding song lyrics to title blog entries." Funny, I don't even really care about lyrics that much usually. Music to me is more about the emotion of the sound. I wonder if that's because I'm not emotional enough myself, so music ends up being kind of an "emotion pill" that I can take to feel things that other people feel. Perhaps, growing up surrounded by music, I have never found the need to feel much myself. The music has always provided it for me.
Aside: "Well Gob, this feeling that you're feeling is what most of us would call a, a feeling."
"But it's not like envy...or even hungry!"
Man, now just I'm making myself sound like a robot. Beep...beep...interesting thing today: I was performing a piece from Bach's Magnificat in a recital, and my voice...was not working. I had to stop and restart the piece. It was kind of embarrassing, although it wasn't a big deal to me. But later, someone told me that they really enjoyed my performance because it made me appear human.
It made me appear human. I never knew that I appeared non-human...but don't think I've ever been good at knowing how people view me. Maybe I am a robot.
Mom, am I adopted?

A few things:
When you wrote about being a robot, I thought of Liz Lemon saying, "Ro-bot war-ning!"
Do you really feel like you can't emote on your own? That can't be . . .
Also, I'd like to know the song that has the lyrics, "Quatsch! (Or, I miss speaking German.)"
And on that note, have you seen Inglourious Basterds? I just got back from seeing it tonight. I think I'll see it again, because I think I need a second time to fully form an opinion on the movie. There's a lot of German in it, anyway.
No, it's not that I can't emote on my own. But I don't think I react emotionally like most other people. Of course, this was written in light of seeing the screening of The BQE, which affected me so strongly emotionally. I'd never felt so...under the influence of emotion. Really, I was super hyperactive after seeing the film, and I could have talked for hours--I felt like a completely different person.
And oh, Sue...you always manage to back me into a corner...that blog title wasn't a song lyric. I couldn't come up with one for it. I just chose a German word that seemed to make sense (meaning "nonsense"). But when I'm listening to a song and it seems to match, I'm really happy :)
And by hyperactive, I mean that I didn't want to leave. So...I kind of didn't, and it was extremely awkward, hahaha. I can tell you about that later :)
