She's Talking About Her Writing, Kids. Her WRITING.

This song makes me feel strange, in a beautiful way. I can't listen to the lyrics, or it will ruin it, though. Someone is trying to speak through me, and other people's words will only get in the way right now...

I realized that a large part of the problem is that I don't have a lot of music anymore in my life, and what I do have is all in a language that I understand, and that simply interferes with the process of writing. I realized some time ago that the best writing I have ever done was while under the influence of music, and some of the worst I have ever done was trying to give words to (the emotions in) a song that already had lyrics (I could understand). Translations can kill it, too. Knowing some of the words but not all have produced mixed results thus far.

If anyone who reads this and knows of some music that might help me out (I like just about anything), and knows where I could purchase/procure said music, that would be great... ^_^;; But whatever. I'm thinking about buying the Gallons of Void CD at Evil Pupil, even if it freaks me out, for this purpose. Oh, I'm such a leech...

Maybe it's necesarry, maybe it's a crutch, maybe it's an excuse, maybe it's a placebo, maybe it's cheating... but I take what I can get

Anyway, I finished my Gloves Vs. Mittens comic... Not that it does me that much good (still haven't done ANY math in this chapter, or ANY psychology reading).

Oh yeah, and I got a scholarship offer from PLU. It's a nice one... I just can't help but feel embarrased by it, though. I guess I just don't feel that special.... -_-;;

Well, this is long and unorganized, so I'll just leave it here rather than drag it along like some dead thing, and I the cat that killed it (extended metaphor?)... Ja
