06.29.07 - I told myself I won't miss you
Good news: I have inspiration to write. Not just the want, but an actual story in my head. And better than just a story in my head, but the words to form that story so everyone else can see it. Because most of the stories in my head are pictures to me. And they make sense to me, but I have a hard time explaining them to everyone else since they're pictures and not words.
Bad news: Erin's probably not getting her smut for awhile. Because the story in my head has nothing to do with Erin and Went. Or Erin and Brian. Or Erin at all. Okay, well, it kind of does, but Erin's not in the story.
So what am I so inspired to write? Another damn song fic. I have always loved music. I have always connected with songs that really don't apply to my life in any way, shape, or form (I connect with some that do, too). And I have always, always, always tried to attach those songs to people - real or imagined - to give it some greater meaning. Or maybe just to explain the emotional attachment I feel with a song. I'm not exactly sure.
What I am sure of is that this morning on my way to school, "Better Than Me" by Hinder came on my iPod and I didn't change it because the Hinder concert is on August 25th and (hopefully) I'll be going. So even though I really couldn't sing along that early in the morning, I decided to get myself in the Hinder/Papa Roach/Buckcherry mood. I love that song. It's beautiful. Plain and simple. You don't have to connect with it to recognize the fact that it is beautiful. To be honest, prior to this morning, I hadn't really connected with that song. I always thought it was a beautiful song - well composed in every way. But it never gave me goosebumps or stirred some deeper emotion in me. But this morning I was sitting there listening to this song and all I could think of was Breck and Noie.
Sidenote: For those of you who have no idea who Breck and Noie are, which I suspect is the majority - they're characters that Erin and I invented a million, bazillion years ago. Just like our other babies, they're always in my head.
So, I am - for the second time ever - writing a song fic about completely fictional characters who are not related to any show, book, or movie. Go figure. I have errands to run, a nap to take, and two more bathrooms to clean - all before 7pm tonight. Hopefully, I can squeeze in getting this started. I'm soexcited about it, it's insane. A little sad that the smut is on hold - again - but excited nonetheless.
