Where Are You Going To Run To Next? On iTunes: "Western Battle" by Seafood So points are awarded as follows: Karmilicious: 2 Everybody Else: None! (Better luck next time, Shin. =P) And now, so you know what the songs actually were: 1. And ah, when you work out where to draw the line Your guess is as good as mine. Coldplay, "God Put A Smile On Your Face" 2. Sounds like forks on a plate Blackboard scratched with hate Muse, "Micro Cuts" 3. The highway's jammed with broken heroes On a last chance power drive Bruce Springsteen, "Born To Run" 4. but the better part of me knows that waiting in the throws is on a par with reading with my eyes closed Incubus, "Agoraphobia" 5. I remember what you told me before you went out on your own: Sometimes to keep it together we got to leave it alone. The Eagles, "Wasted Time" I wasn't so bored yesterday that I wanted to spend forever putting up more than five sets of lyrics, heh, so that made it a little harder. My throat has been acting suspicious for the last couple days. Like I might be getting sick, but my body can't quite make up its mind yet. I guess I should just stock up on vitamin C to ward off any possibility of it happening. Meh. The good news is that I got to play Dynasty Warriors today for the first time in ages. Me and Jen played some PS2 in the SLB for a couple hours. It was glorious. I also finally got to try out some Mario Kart: Double Dash, so I don't feel like such a loser anymore. I've also been working on this story that first developed off of an RPG character that I created elsewhere. His name is Julian and he's one of my favoritest creations, but he wasn't getting a lot of play time in that RPG. So I decided to write a story about him just so I could write more with him. It's developed into this crazy alternate universe epic in my mind, and recently I've been thinking about typing it up and posting it somewhere. So I guess I'm asking: Should I? Pros: I can get my story out there and get feedback about different ideas, about how I write magic (cause there would be a lot of it), on character development, etc. Typing it up would also result in me adding a little more detail and changing certain parts that I've been meaning to change, add to, and take away from. Cons: I'm increasingly feeling like if I post something, it has to be this epic, spectacular thing and there's more of a focus on my writing style and grammar and structure rather than on the actual characters or fantasy ideas, which I really, really hate. And I'm afraid that if I do start posting this story, then I'll feel obligated to make it perfect, to post in a timely manner, to make it serious and professional and mature. As silly as it sounds, I'm constantly afraid that my writing isn't up to par and I tear myself up about it. I really don't want it to come to that. I don't want this story to become a chore. Does this make sense to anybody? Anyway, feedback would be great. While you all do that, I'm going to go catch up on my Lit2020 reading. >_>;;
