(no subject)
So one of my favorite things about hc_bingo starting up again is that I get to totally throw myself into the metaphorical sandbox and play. I can write a story if I want! I can make a rec post! I can spend ridiculous amounts of time pretending I have artistic talent in Photoshop! WHAHEY!
Speaking of which, I made a mix for the trapped between realities square.
So the thing about Pete Wentz is that he sometimes, once in a while, travels back and forth through time 1 He gets hours, days, weeks in one time period, and then suddenly he's in medieval England or 1920s New York or 30th century Paris 2. Obviously it's kind of difficult to make connections when he doesn't know what century he's going to be in 3, and he doesn't want to put people he cares about in a position to get hurt 4. It's not like he doesn't get lonely, but it's easier for everyone if he stays apart 5. He's pretty much resigned to going through his life by himself 6. Except without meaning to, Pete winds up getting together with this girl Ashlee, and they were supposed to be just having fun but then they wound up falling for each other, and Ash is having his kid 7. So he has to tell her that, hey, I might not be here tomorrow, and he's pretty sure he's going to take the baby and never talk to him again 8. Ashlee has to think about it, and while she knows she can't really get too close to a guy who keeps popping in and out of time, he's her best friend and the father of her son and that means something to her 9. Maybe they can't be an old married couple like she wanted, but that doesn't mean he can't be part of her life and Bronx's 10. So now when Pete disappears, he knows that he's eventually going to wind up with his best friend and his son, even if it means frog-hopping through time periods 11. He's still traveling, but he knows at least he's got somewhere to get back to now. 12.
1. Elvis Costello & the Attractions - Man Out of Time
To murder my love is crime
But will you still love
A man out of time
2. Barenaked Ladies - It's All Been Done
I knew you before the west was won
And I heard you say the past
was much more fun
You go your way, I go mine
But I'll see you next time
3 Tim Booth & Angelo Badalamenti - Stranger
I'm the stranger who fell through time
I'm a stranger to these new heights
I'm a stranger to my old life
4 The Devlins - Disappear
Pretty soon you'll disappear
Yeah I'll watch you disappear
As of now you disappear
5. Ben Folds - Smoke
All of the people have come have gone
No one to forgive - smoke
We will never write a new one
There will not be a new one
6. UNKLE - Lonely Soul
I believe there's a time when the cord of life
Should be cut, my friends
I believe there's a time when the cord can be cut
And this vision ends
But I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
7. Camera Obscura - Forests and Sands
Oh, it feels like none of this is real
I pretend that my heart and my head are well
But if the blood pumping through my veins could freeze like a river in Toronto,
then I'd be pleased
8 The Band - Out of the Blue
She don't shed a tear
When I walk out that door
She knows, she knows
I'll be coming back for more
9 .38 Special - Back Where You Belong
I played around now, I've done some dealin'
I found that love should be with you
And so you're gone now, my head is reelin', don't wanna be with
someone new
And so I go, with a feeling inside me, 'cause I know what I'm leaving
10. City And Colour - Comin' Home
I've seen a palace in London, I've seen a castle in Wales
but I'd rather wake up beside you and breathe that old familiar smell
11. The Jam - English Rose
I've been to ancient worlds
I've scoured the whole universe
And caught the first train home
To be at her side.
12. Everything But The Girl - One Place
And you know Bruce said
we should keep moving 'round
Maybe we all get too tied down, I don't know
Hell, I don't know
I'm happy to be home
