My Monday morning fantasy

...includes being able to hit that sexy center button on my iPod and jam as I get ready for the day. 

Alas, my left ear is dead and awaiting some kind of weird biotechnological resurrection via CI activation in 3 weeks, and my right ear is waiting for an earmold.  So what do I do to torture myself in the meantime? 

I compile a playlist, dammit.

I only wish I could include here my current obsession, U2's "Moment of Surrender"   Some people say it's about drug addiction (read lyrics here).  It's about something totally different for me -- where I am in my head and in my life right now.  Helps that it's a gorgeous, albeit long, rock ballad-ish type siren that I find myself swaying to in the kitchen as I cook -- "I tied myself with wire to let the horses run free, playing with the fire until the fire played with me" -- Swoon.

P.S. Some people will say there's a queer sort of irony in happily-deaf girl fantasizing about listening to music again.  I agree, but more importantly, do I give a flying squirrel?  Ha.  No I don't.  So take that, shove it up the bodily orifice of your choice, and rock out with me, mmkay?

P.P.S.  I just noticed there's no Madonna on this playlist.  What the hell?  Wow.  I really am changing.  Cooool.

You SIN! Put Madonna on it, NOW! ;-) I'm laughing @ the "POST - CI Playlist" title.

I'm excited to see what this outcome will be for you. I hope it is all what you imagine!
