headphones and bedsheets
i brought in a good set of headphones to the office last week, so i can play my music and the other talky stuff i listen to at work without disturbing my hallmates. what i've found is that when a cd or program ends, i don't take them off, even if i don't play anything else through them for an hour or two. every once in a while i realize that i've had headphones on all afternoon with nothing playing. i guess i just like the feeling of them, or the noise cancellation. it reminds me of how on some summer evenings, even through it is very hot, i will sleep under a sheet just because i'm used to having something over me while i sleep. more a psychological than a physical need, surely.
