Ten Albums: The Music That Stuck With Me

I was given an interesting challenge on Facebook awhile back that I am just now getting around to completing. I was asked to name 10 albums that stayed with me for some reason. They didn't have to be great albums, or even life-changing albums, but just albums that have stuck with you for some, maybe unknown, reason.

The One Adventure I Never Take

People have been asking a lot lately about my change in lifestyle. It has been noticed that when once I used to say "No" and now I say "Yes." It has been noticed that while I used to spend all my free time at home, now I am rarely there. It used to be if I was rarely home it was because I didn't want to deal with the people living with me. Now I'm rarely home because I always have plans. And if I don't have plans, I still find something to enjoy outside of the house. It is much easier to talk me into going out to dinner or for a drink. I have started going to the theater and parties. Even if I am spending time alone, it is often in the company of strangers at my favorite restaurant/bar. Believe me, I still enjoy my own company or the company of a good book whenever I get the chance. I just enjoy those things in a crowded space. I don't require a friend to go with me to dinner. I don't require another person sitting next to me to enjoy a movie or concert or theater event. Yes, I even go to sporting events by myself from time to time. But I find I am doing most of those things in the company of other people more often than not and my friends are liking the change...I think. I'm noticing other changes within myself as well. Where once I used to sit and listen when in a group, I now participate in conversation. Where I was once afraid to make a fool of myself, I'm now more open to looking silly and even enjoy being the center of attention occasionally. But (isn't there always a "but"?) there is one thing that hasn't changed. One adventure I haven't embarked on. One activity that still eludes me. Dun, dun, DUN!!! Dating.
