My roommate is starting a documentary, where she travels all over the country (and potentially Canada) in order to not only follow her favorite musician, Imogen Heap, but to interview individuals in different cities as to how music has become a form of ... therapy, of sorts, and it what ways music has helped people to not only find a shoulder to

- Music always seems to say the things I can't say. Even when lacking vocals, there are always words (or at least thoughts present). I've tried poetry (that was hilarious!), and it was never as healing, calming, emotional, etc as music.

- Cliche answer: everything but country. You also know that I can have the weirdest taste in music. But I'm also a snob about it too.

- I grew up with everything. It is just something that is a part of me. Hard to explain, but every song has a memory.

- My life would be lacking. I wouldn't have certain inside-joke lyrics (Milk Dud) and I wouldn't be as smart/nerdy as I am. Learning music and memorizing random facts about it keeps my brain healthy.

- To be quite honest : Boring. C'mon, I would be. Random fact: I was born to "The 1812 Overature"...that explains everything.

- I would be more depressed and especially more angry, as well as dumber and more boring (as stated above). I don't know why, but I would. It says something when I drive listening to Korn or some death metal while driving. If I didn't have this = super angry Katie.

- As I said above, every song I have stored in my head has a memory. 70's and 80's music can make me happy or sad (depending on the band), metal calms me, techno makes me sleepy, rock is...meh. Kinda generic, but that's all I have for you. :)

- *le sigh* Depeche Mode, of course. I've loved them since I was 6. Their music spans the spectrum: Synth-pop to blues, rock to emo...it's fantastic. (Albeit an aquired taste...)
