♥! I don't think I could agree with you more re. the albums; my favourite bit about roadtrips is being able to stare out the window, watching the scenery and absorbing my music. If I'm reading/doing homework/etc., I can't give albums the attention they deserve -- they need all of it. And I love listening to all of the threads of instrumentation, too (sometimes I pick them apart and listen to various strains on their own, which is dorky); the love of instrumental layers must be why we both like Dreaming so much. (Did you pick up the accordion bit in it? It's lovely.)

Hee, I talk to my books and other media also. I kept screaming at Ten yesterday while watching "The Satan Pit", my sister thought I was going insane and actually came over to see if I needed any help. Once I had to put a book down on the table and got into a yelling match with it. And then I got so angry I had to actually go outside and take a walk before I could pick it up again. Er.

Also, I LOVE THE SHIRT!!!
