*Smile*

I never thought you could put bits of a broken heart together again until last night that is.
Yes this is one of those silly little personal moments that just makes me, me and I'm going to tell you about it regardless of whether you want to hear it or not.
If you've read anything other than the last, oh I'm guessing 5 posts here you will most likely have realised I love music. And of course as such I have been making myself "mixes" for years now. Putting my favourites from albums and friends albums (yes we used to share since we couldn't all buy everything we wanted) on tapes originally, later I used cd's and well now I have the miracle that is a flash drive. Over the years there have been many mixes and even more favourites. Some I keep and others that well honestly I wonder about where my head was when I made them but they reflect a moment in my life that has made me who I am. But I digress, back to putting a broken heart back together.
Years ago I made one of these mixes that I listened to SO much my family where threatening my life if I dared play it around them and it was relocated to the car where I could play it without too much moaning since I was alone a lot of the time. Somewhere along the line this and other cd's disappeared from the car never to be seen again. There where songs on that mix that I have never been able to get again. There was one in particular though that was my feel good song at the time and this was the one that broke my heart. I can't remember where it originally came from, probably a friend of a friend of a friend but I'd never been able to get my hands on it again, that was until last night.
Someone had put a whole load of stuff on a flash drive for me and there it was "Love me in black". I must have listened to it 10 times last night and well let’s just say it's been played a few times today. Yes I'm making up for lost time :) My brother is likely to start threatening me anytime now but who cares I've managed to put a little bit of my heart back together and that makes everything ok for today.

And just in case I have it on 3 computers, 2 flash drives and a cd so it doesn't disappear from my I'm listening to list anytime soon :)
