Silence Is A Virtue

My family finds it strange that I never, ever turn on the tv after they have left for work and school.

I don't put on music either.

I prefer complete silence in the house.

I didn't used to feel this way.

I used to play music as I milled around the house...now I just prefer quiet.

It's the same for me in the car.

I used to listen to cd's or my iPod or even a meditation cd for the days I knew road rage would strike on my commute.

Music has influenced so much in my life, yet I find that the only time I listen now is when I am cooking dinner and I throw on the old iPod or some Pandora.

And the TV is only watched when,

1. I can't fall asleep

2. House Hunters is on and I am going to bed (but I always miss the last house and the decision because I usually fall asleep!)

3. Jersey Shore or the Kardashians are on...what can I say...after being alone with my thoughts I need some comic relief!

Do you prefer silence or do you need a little background noise?

Happy Weekending!
