I've Been Tagged

Twice, actually... By blazeorfade and spn_snark.

1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever wants to do it.

Hopefully, I've come up with some entirely new facts... )

I totally get you on #1. When I wrote poetry in high school, I was sometimes totaly overtaken by inspiration. Like, it was flailing around inside me like a living thing, and I hadhadhad to get it down before I went crazy. Then, afterwards, I would feel all high and goofy-happy. One of my favrite memories of that was running around the deck of the Annabel Lee, a dinner-cruise boat that we were on for some special occasion, in a total rain storm, trying to find something to crouch under so I could write the poem in my head.

I don't really get that anymore. Since the first time I went on antidepressants back when I ws 19, I feel like that dor in my brain slamemd closed and it never opened back up again the same way. And maybe it was inevitable, not being a kid anymore, but I still miss it sometimes.

I think a lot of mine came from being depressed, which made that feeling something I dreaded -- just dripping in that kind of emotion for too long really isn't good for me. The first time I experienced it again in over ten years was with "Always Falling," which wrote itself in three days.

I think it'll happen again for you.

In a way, I envy that you have #1. I can't remember the last time that I get into a mad rage over anything artistic; maybe it's the fact that I'm not. Yeah. This fervour aludes me, and in all, rather mystifying.

I had a love/hate relationship with it when I was in high school/college because my poetry really did come from a very dark place and, at times, it felt like I was possessed with those emotions. I used to joke that giving up my poetry to not be depressed anymore was something I could absolutely live with...

I don't know what triggers it now. The first time I had it in years was with "Always Falling" and now the new fic I'm working on (which, um, is even darker than AF)...
