Before I couldn't imagine my writing without soft music in the background, especially one that fits the story. Now, sometimes, I find myself writing in total silence, because I can feel that it is easier to concentrate like that.

Soft music.

A little bit of background noise.
Living in a big family, dead quiet is too quiet.

I can block out loud noises while reading (like in school), but when I'm writing I have to pause sometimes and loud noises distract me. I usally like a little music while I'm writing

Hehe. i'll have my record playing some simple John Philip Sousa and my sister has some Nicki Minaj playing on full blast and she'll curse that she can't hear her tv over my music! So she turns the tv even louder and when I pull the plug out of the wall she gets very hostile. So i'll comprimize with her that i'll turn off my record if she turns the tv off and turns her music down. She will eventually agree and after a few moments she'll complain that the pencil against the paper is "bugging her". She is very annoying, but i love her anyways.

Hm. Well if you're too lazy, then don't say you are. I have a feeling you're just spamming to get your post count up. So stop it. The members worked hard to get they're counts up, and several people have warned you of spamming. I also have heard a complaint that you've been rather rude to someone. So please. Stop it.

Next time someone bumps tons of poll threads, I'm closing them. I'm serious. It's so annoying.
