I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this before but I’m one of those who’d immediately sing to myself if anybody mentions a word or phrase that reminds me of lyrics to a song I know. I don’t know many others like me but I never thought I’d find my aunt doing the same thing. I remember clearly that it happened during a church service, when every song that she sang to herself was exactly what I was singing in my own head. It was then that I knew that music truly runs in the family.

Already, all the cousins are musically-inclined in our own special way. Put the entire extended family together and we’d be more than happy to entertain ourselves for hours, as long as there’s a guitar around. And I must say, none of us are bad singers. :p In fact, it takes very little for the cousins to get excited about singing together. Earlier this month, we were convinced we’d do a decent job with our own rendition of Glee’s version of Lean on Me that we even bought sheet music. Alas, we’ve only had that one practice since so I honestly have no idea when we’d finish learning the whole song. Heh.

Wow. That sure was a long intro to prove my point. Anyway, so earlier this evening, one of my younger cousins and I had a very short Twitter convo that only music-holics would approve:

@bittymacbeth: Ironing and listening to The Temper Trap. I think Five Iron Frenzy would be more apt …? HAHA, lame pun, I know sorry.

@allysont: @bittymacbeth I disagree. Iron Maiden would be more apt. Hur hur… :p

@bittymacbeth: @allysont Before I say “or Hot Hot Heat” HAHA THAT SHOWS YOU’RE LAMER THAN I AM!! :P

@allysont: @bittymacbeth What can I say? The ability to think up lame puns totally runs in the family. ;)

This coming from 2 cousins who came up with code names for ourselves, all based on bands/song titles. Yes, we’re geeks.
