Would it be overly geeky if someone liked to put on Chiptune music (like Anamanaguchi or Shirobon) while they run and imagine they are in a video game? That would be normal, right? Perfectly normal, right?

    Well, I woudn't do that but I'm pretty sure my husband would. And he has tons of video game soundtracks to do that with as well.

    I work nights and sometimes during the Winter season when it snows I like to go outside for walks and jogs while it's snowing listening to Star Wars music pretending I am flying through space.

    Normal? Dunno, don't care.

    I walk a lot a lot a lot, and have been working my way through all of the Doctor Who audio from Big Finish. I don't let myself listen to it unless I'm out walking.

    It makes me laugh that I am not the only one with John Williams on my ipod!

    I totally thought you were going to say you pretend to be riding a Tauntaun.

    I did the same thing with the audio version of "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline. Awesome carrot! I was doing extra miles daily just to listen to more!

    Or put on really intense instrumental music that would fit in a zombie movie and run like they're after you! :D (Not that I've ever done that before. Ever. Nope.)

    I totally do that!! I love Two Steps from Hell, Future World Music and Audiomachine. If a song comes on from them I'm transported to a fantasy world where I'm a mighty fury warrior slashing and hacking hordes of demons or I'm a elemental shaman or fire mage shooting lightning and fire up their evil tushies.

    I'm a WoW and Diablo girl so I envision myself into those games. :)
