I'm Annoying

I'm one of those annoying people that can listen to the same song over and over. Saturday, for instance, on my way to and back from my friend's wedding, I must have listened to "Trapeze Swinger" by Iron and Wine about 15 times (including 4 times in a row near the PA border and 4 times just before I arrived back home)

Do you do this?
What do you do that's annoying?
What else do I do that you find annoying?

I definitely do that as well...however, I didn't know that was annoying to people. :) Sometimes a song just gets stuck in your head...

I annoy Adam with it. Especially when i loudly start belting out in song. I can watch the same movies over and over as well as long as they are a fav.

Iron and Wine is fabulous. A good choice for a repeat I must say.

I do this, too. Just today, in fact, I stuck my CD player on repeat of a Jadon Lavik song...well, not HIS song, but a song on his CD...Nothing But the Blood of Jesus....it just don't get much better than that song! I also repeat a lot of Aaron Shust's songs...drives Dane crazy.

I think almost everyone does this. You listen to a song or cd almost nonstop until you reach the point where you just can't listen to it anymore (except for Mae, which I seem to never, ever get sick of and listen to their cd usually at least once a day). Of course, people like myself and Heather watch movies over and over...I think I've seen many of my favorite movies 30+ times and I know I've watched Pride and Prejudice a good 40+ times (including four viewings in the theatre three days in a row!) When something strikes us as spectacular, I think, as humans, it is natural to want to keep repeating that until it doesn't strike us as so special anymore. But isn't that feeling amazing when you listen to a song over and over, then stop listening to it and come back to it a year or two later? It's like it formed its own euphoric memory for you to cherish.

There's my book for the day. Hope you're well!

Well, Matthew I think you are making progress cause you are the shower right now and you are not singing Trapeze Swinger. Perhaps a new song addiction is on the horizon!

I think we all do it. Unfortunately, I do it so many times that I eventually overdose on the song so that I have to give it a rest for a long time. There are certain tv shows that I could watch no matter how many times I've seen the episode.
