Writer's Block: Ten for the Tenth

Nov 10, 2008 15:07

So I have serious writer's block today. Perhaps because yesterday's writing exercise was a five page paper on Memento. I could count that as today's as well, but I don't think I shall. Therefore,  I shall use today's lj writing prompt.

I often think of songs as where they could fall in the soundtrack of my life, but to try to come up with 10 favorites will be an interesting challenge. I'm fairly sure that my list would change if I was to write on this tomorrow, yet if I tried to create a different list tomorrow then my answers from today would cloud my judgement in writing that entry. Anyways these are a few of my favorite songs.

1. Christians and Pagans - Dar Williams
     Only pumpkin pies were burning. . .

2. Bad Day - R.E.M.
     A public service announcement followed me home the other day. . .

3. Everybody Hurts - R.E.M., but I am currently loving the Corr's cover
     When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on. . .

4. After All - Dar Williams
    Go ahead push your luck . . .

5. Heroes - Jill Souble
    My favorite poets took their own lives. . .

6. Joy to the World - Three Dog Night
     I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the war. . .

7. Paint it Black - Rolling Stones
    No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue. . .

8. La Vie Boheme A/B - RENT
    To going against the grain, going insane, going mad. . .

9.  I Think I'm Paranoid - Garbage
     Prop me up with another pill . . .

10. Little Razorblade - The Pink Spiders
       This lucid dream is not reality and it makes me so anxious. . .

Okay, this list might just how out there I am. Plus, the making of this list showed me that while I listen to music all the time and am conscious of the lyrics, I do not think about it enough. Anyways, here the list shall stand for today.

school sucks, rolling stones, jill sobule, r.e.m., memes, the pink spiders, three dog night, top 10, rent, garbage, writer's block, music, dar williams
