My dad always snored pretty loudly growing up and I can't imagine sleeping next to a man for the rest of my life who sounds like the motor of a 1969 El Camino. I guess you'd just have to get used to it...kind of like people who live in NYC get used to the sirens and horns blaring all night while they sleep. Falling asleep to the sound of sirens. City Love. Sounds perfect to me.
I can't imagine getting old because if I lose my hearing, I will go insane. I love music pretty much more than anything...about as much as I love the art of dance....and what would dance be without music? I hear an amazing song, and sub consciously begin choreographing to it right away. It's so exciting to put movements to such amazing sounds and I am lucky to get to give those movements to others and watch them perform my creations. Okay, I'm getting sentimental.
How would a movie be a movie if we couldn't hear the funny, sweet, or scary words or noises? How would The Wizard of Oz be The Wizard of Oz without us audibly hearing the words, "There's No Place Like Home"...I would not be whole if I didn't hear Leonardo tell Kate that he'd "Never Let Go". Plus I'm fairly certain that my heart would have never mended after a few tumultuous relationships if it weren't for John Mayer. How would we vote for our favorite American Idol?
Of course we use the majority of sound for communication purposes, but these are some sounds that I just couldn't live without...
The Beatles...enough said.
The ocean
The "I Love You's" of my family
Hymns, specifically "Amazing Grace" and "Great is Thy Faithfulness"
Laughing kids and babies
Rain
My ears better hold up for the next 60 years, because I can't see life worth living without being able to enjoy the above mentioned.

I like the John Mayer... City Love reference. :) That takes me back to the Camaro with the T-tops off, rushing to LaMadeline at lunch, and barely making it back to school for Goldie's dance class.
