...you look forward to that new set of strings measurably more than your next sexual encounter...

...you take a bite of dinner, pick up an instrument, and fifteen minutes later, your 'bite' is still in your mouth...

...you bound out of bed at four in the morning to try a tune you remembered in a dream...

...doorbell intervals, and car horn chords are interesting, and fun to harmonize with...

...the backing beeper on the construction trucks inspires a counterpoint melody...

...all the knives in the house are kept as dull as possible...

...you write songs about writing songs about about your exlover's lack of musical appreciation...

...you actually like the sound of bagpipes... ;^)
