oh hey guys, I hate hormones
+ my library got in around 11 new Pratchett books. feast on those words. ELEVEN NEW PRATCHETT BOOKS THAT I HAVEN'T READ ASHKLGHDLFKDJGS. well, that's no longer true. I've already finished three of them - Jingo, Equal Rites, and Thief of Time, all three of which were FABULOUS. I now feel a great desire more of Susan Sto Helit, and thoroughly understand why so many people seem to adore her. she's fantastic! not to mention, my mom picked one of them up because she was certain she would disapprove, started reading, and got hooked! AHAHAHA. she picked up Going Postal, which I'd just brought home and haven't read yet, and was all 'how come I have never heard of him? he's hilarious! how did you find out?' :DDDDDD yayyy! I don't know how long her interest will last - probably until she finds out there are witches - but until then, hooray!
+ hahaha, TV this week was fabulous. more on Merlin... sometime later.
+ NaNo! NANO NANO NANO. in short, NaNo. :D I'm reworking my nostalgia novel into a story about revolution and magic and oppression and lots of geekery on language and philosophy and mythology and idealogy and who knows what else. it will be fun!
+ speaking of which, music! I went through my music and wrote down the songs that fit the story. so here's a... for lack of a better word... fanmix for my novel. heh. no download, but they're all available on songza.com
Undone by Kat Tingey
Can I stay with you?
Can I lead you away from the world that you know?
Do I really deserve to be selfish like this?
I'm undone.
Should I go?
Anna to, oh, everyone in her life, especially Katie and Jared.
Between by Vienna Teng
we both draw back in our minds
I have a prophecy
threatening to spill into words
this growing certainty
of Over
Anna and Jared, pulling apart.
Doomsday by Murray Gold
Instrumental
Because what story of mine doesn't have some sort of horrible tragedy? And this is one originating in Narnia, Merlin and my own family/childhood, so yeah. Tragedy.
Vienna by Billy Joel
But then if you're so smart tell me why
Are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
My darlings, who are constantly running around trying to fix tomorrow.
Circus by Britney Spears
There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain and the ones that observe
Heh. Sorry, uh, it's just very much a Jared and Anna song.
Mad Mission by Patty Griffin
It's a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It's a very mad mission.
Get Out the Map by The Indigo Girls
Get out the map get out the map and lay your finger anywhere down
We'll leave the figuring to those we pass on our way out of town
It's the road trip song, what can I say?
Drought by Vienna Teng
Summer move forward and stitch me the fabric of fall
Wrap life in the brilliance of death to humble us all
&
And the landscape of merry and desperate drought
eeeee!
Fighter Girl by Mason Jennings
Hey, hey, little fighter girl
It's you and me up against this whole wide world now
Sleeping together in the lion's den
Got your earrings in my pocket till I see you again
This is the general love song among them, I rather think. It's perfect for any of them, except for perhaps Owen/Jared, which is barely there. Real subtext instead of the rest, which is only theoretically subtext.
Gravity by Vienna Teng
So don't turn away now
I am turning in revolution
These are the scars that silence carved
On me
It is a revolution song! (there should probably be more revolution songs on this playlist, considering the story is supposed to be about revolution. hm. do you know any good revolution songs?)
Drops of Jupiter by Train
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's a time to change, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
KATIE. <3333
