Thought I'd try landscape for a change. I think I like doing it on the computer best.I've just recently realized that I really love the sound of footsteps. Is this weird? I hadn't thought much of it, but I did know I loved the sound of footsteps on gravel. When I'm walking on it, I'll even twist as I walk to make it extra gravelly. I also love the sound of footsteps in the snow. And also on old creaky wooden floors. I think these are common things to like, but as I was playing WoW, where the footsteps of every type of ground, be it stone, grass, dirt, etc. is amped up to the max, I realized that I really like them all!
My earliest memory of footsteps actually is that of my mom's. I used to wait at the Girl's and Boy's Club for her to pick me up, sitting on the ground and looking down at homework, drawing stuffs, a book, whatever. I remember my mom's footsteps because even though I was looking down at something, I wouldn't have to look up to recognize the sound of her walk.
Maybe this somehow correlates to my love of footsteps? Because the sound of footsteps for years and years signified getting to go home. This could be... or maybe it's just one of those pleasing sounds that everyone likes, but never really bothers talking about, because who would really start out a conversation with, "Gee, I sure do love the sound of footsteps, don't you?"
I love footsteps too! As well as the ones you mentioned, my favorite is a boot on a wooden sidewalk. I have no idea why I like them. My Mom never picked me up from anything.
