Do You Hear the People Sing?- cause it's killing me!

okay, lets get something straight... I LOVE Le Miz... and I'm not one of those annoying girls that only likes it because of the movie... I grew up listening to (not all... cause some are just not meant for kids=o) those songs... I knew who Jon Val Jon and Javier were before I could write (but I'm still not sure on the spelling!)

In fact, I love music in general... listening, singing, playing, I love it all! No matter what I'm doing... there is music in the back round (okay sometimes I wear headphones to give my poor family a break... but we'll get to that.) I've thought several times about what I would do without music... I even watched a TV show about a deaf girl and gave some horrified thought to life without hearing...

Well I might get to find out... Last Wednesday whilst doing my school work (at home) I was getting ready to read a novel for British literature... The Mayor of Caster-bridge a wonderful book... but so not the point! Anyway I'm getting ready to read it, I sit down in a nice comfy chair with my mama's micro fiber blanket... man those things are soft! and I put my head phones in. Now earlier that day I had noticed that some of the rubber was peeling back on these head phones... but being the cheapo that I was; I still used the (they still worked so they were fine...right?) well I had one ear bud in, and went to press play on my iPod .. and my head phones electrocuted me=O by the grace of God I only had one ear bud in....

So now, fast forward to Monday, I'm waiting to go to the doctor (for the first time by myself... yay for being 18!) because even the smallest noises are painful, and there is a constant ringing in my left ear that gets worse when I lie down.

Yeah, I can't make this stuff up you guys! but don't be scared to use your ear buds (though I have second thoughts about the noise cancellation ones that go super deep.... yeah not the best choice!) this only happened because
#1. my head phones broke, and I kept using them
#2. the wire was exposed
#3. exactly WHERE the wire was exposed I brushed it against a micro fiber blanket....and for all you non physics nerds; the blanket was very static-y and therefore negativly charged, when it touched the exposed wire on my head phones some of the electron's escaped into the headphone cord... but once they were in they couldn't get out until they reached my body (our bodies are able to conduct electricity... that is known as being a conductor) and shocked my ear.

So yeah... freak accidents, they make for great stories;-)
