So, my muse is apparently a raging bitch (and other random thoughts)...
Yes, I said it. My muse is being a raging bitch at the moment--well, only about one fic really. And honestly it's not her fault--it's mine for being stupid enough to think that she would be comfortable with being told 'here's a song, write a fic to it'. Big mistake. I'm about to give up on this fic--really I am. I've started four other completely random one shots while trying to write it for goodness sakes. Enough is enough, don't you think?
*sigh* Note to self--general fic challenges are fine, but stay far away from the specific ones such as this from now on.
And in other news... My job is not working out. At all. Long story short, they're really screwing with my paycheck and I haven't worked for two weeks tomorrow. I need money damn it, especially now that Christy doesn't have a job and the food stamps people are still being bitches. It's ridiculous--they just don't care that there are two kids about to starve I guess. Bah!
And okay, this song both breaks my heart and tickles me at the same time... because honestly who hasn't ever done what the chorus describes?
I'm holding onto you when I close my eyes
You're still in my arms and we never said good-bye
And it's all that I can do to go on with my life
But that's supposed to be the reason why I'm here tonight
Downtown restraunt with a friend of a friend
Well she sure likes to talk and I ain't heard a single word she's said
But every now and then I nod and I pretend to pay attention
And I say things like, "Uh-huh", and "Yeah you're right" and "Are you kidding?"
And I laugh when it seems like the right thing to do
It's hard to hold a conversation
Holdin' onto you
I'd give anything just to hear your voice
Or see you look at me and smile
Oh but what I miss the most
Is holdin' onto you
'Cause here I am tonight
Staring at a woman who's the last thing on my mind
But every now and then I nod and I pretend to pay attention
And I say things like, "Uh-huh", and "Yeah you're right" and "Are you kidding?"
And I laugh when it seems like the right thing to do
It's hard to hold a conversation
It's hard to hold a conversation
Holdin' onto you
And I close my eyes
You're still in my arms and we never said goodbye

**Lyrics transcribed by me, please don't take without asking!
For an absolutely hillarious Brad Paisley give "It Never Would Worked Out Anyway" a try. I love it!)
And now LJ is starting to piss me off (its saving each entry automattically makes it freeze and takes forever for it to come back) so I'm gonna go.
Later peoples!!!

((Oh and random question for my Jolie friends... Anyone out there who has or would be willing to get all the Jolie and Nat clips KS has and would be willing to mail me hard copies? There are sooooo many scenes I've never seen and would love to... And hey if you have clips from ME Corner that'd be especially great... I know this is a daunting task so I completely understand if no one is willing, just thought I'd ask. Thanks!!))
