Bookish Banter: Background noise while blogging?

A little Bookish Banter to get us through.  Bookish Banter is a little bit of banter about our bookish thoughts as we have a friendly discussion over a nice cup of tea. 

Do you like background noise when blogging?

Ash-

I have to have some sort of background noise, it drives me crazy if I don't!

I generally like music when blogging, and actually, when doing almost anything. Before I discovered audio books (Thanks Jenn) I would listen to music when driving, cleaning, showering. Now I just listen to audio books all the time. But sadly, I cannot listen to audio books and blog, because soon I'll be typing what I'm listening to, and that's just annoying.

So, I like listening to music when blogging, because I can kinda sing along and jam out while still typing what I mean to be typing.

I sometimes watch TV while blogging, but it has to be something I've seen a million times, or else it will completely distract me from whatever I'm doing, or I'll keep rewinding because I missed something, and since I hadn't seen it before, I don't really want to miss anything.

So if I'm watching TV, while blogging, I have to be watching one of the following:

Yes, I use My Little Pony as background noise. Don't judge. I mostly watch Walking Dead whenever I need background noise, and I want something I don't have to concentrate on.

Jenn:

I have to have background noise with everything I do. It is just that though. Background noise. So I can't have anything on where I need to pay attention. It's really hard to work on a review or a discussion post while keeping up with a show like How TO Get Away With Murder.... just isn't going to happen. I will either miss half of the show or I will have no idea what I just posted... 

Silence kills me though . I mean I just can't do it. I will go insane!!!! I am not a person who likes no noise. Even when I sleep I have to have loud white noise. Silence keeps my into my crazy head way too much... I Will be so CRAZY 

So if I am with Ash we take turns television or music. She likes music more I like television more. I like music okay but I am not a music nut like her. I am a television junkie though. I will have the television on all the time just for the noise. I do like to watch it and pay attention too but I can use it just for the background noise. I like to watch house decorating and restoring shows, reality television such as the great food truck race or survivor or a show I have seen millions of times. like Walking Dead. To be honest though. It would be great if I could just listen to books while blogging. As you can probably guess... that would be a bad idea though. So television it is. 

What do you do when you blog? Do you need background noise and if so what do you choose as your background noise?
