Quick post before I go to bed, at a somewhat reasonable time for once. Hugs and *smooches* to y'all for suffering through my little freakout yesterday. I have my moments, LOL, and that was one of 'em. 'Tis all good now. :-)

This morning was one of the rare times that I had the house completely to myself, which of course means really loud music - loud enough that I can hear it clearly in the shower, lol. And my stereo is still being a pain in the ass about recognising CDs so I use the one upstairs. Well, today I had put the Warning CD on and it was maybe a minute into Misery when the front door opened. I was getting into my clothes in my room so obviously could not do anything about the volume immediately, and when I came out my dad said, "Who's that? I love it."

O_o This was distinctly odd. I've been purposely avoiding playing any GD specifically for my father because in the last few years, he's pretty much totally turned away from any new-to-him music. Some of it is that his hearing has degraded, but he's chosen to stop making the effort to try new bands, etc. and the last time I tried to play a song I adored for him it was a disaster. Music was one of the few areas where he and I ever connected, so it's been disappointing and sometimes hurtful for me to not be able to share that with him anymore. I was dying to play WMUWSE for him right from the beginning, and ten years ago I know he would have loved it as much as I do, but now it's too precious to me to risk getting shot down that way. Which is why I never played anything else for him, either. So this all happened quite randomly and my dad was enjoying the music and my mother was dancing. I threw up my metaphorical hands at that point.

No idea if they listened to the rest of it; I turned it down but left it on, and went to work without it. Admittedly, it is probably the most unGreen Day song the band has, lol, but it's something, and it means something to me that they both liked it even if it was a wee bit freaky. Chalk up another line on the wall in my own personal Twilight Zone I guess. Shit, I don't even know if I'm coming or going these days, LOL.
