You don't have a built-in soundtrack in your mind? Wow, how lucky. My 
tinnitus, by some reason, sometimes comes in as the theme to some movie. 
Either that or I'm consciously trying to hear something other than

Princess though.

One-second glances in real life  become 2 minute meaningful moments with various camera angles.  Hmmmmm....just noticed I used the same letters in 2 different words in the previous sentence.  Glances, angles.  Can you tell I'm going into a stream-of-consciousness mode?  Need to eat something today other than sugar.  Had Whoppers for breakfast and several mini candy bars for lunch.
