current mood:Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

i had a WONDERFUL idea to start redoing a Irish Ballad into a novel.

Reason This Seemed Like a Good Idea:
* It was already written for me. i just have to change it into novel form and improvise a little.
* It seemed original; i've only seen this certain ballad in novel form ONCE and once in a short story form.
* It didn't SEEM like a complicated story. Not harder than Romeo and Juliet *rolls eyes*

Reason This is Turning Into a Bad Idea:
* Turns out I'm going to have to improvise ALOT.
* Well...almost 15 different novels, one movie and 20 different recordings came up when i googled it...
* The only full length non-altered version avaible on the internet also happens to be in a old Irish dialect with more slang than i've ever seen in my life...which happens to much harder to understand than Shakespeare...

anywho, the title of this ballad is Tam Lin. I'm still going to atempt it. i love the story. basically Jenny meets the elf knight Tam Lin who is somewhat of a theif. he takes things of value; money, jewels, and virginity...and he and Jenny spend the night together and she gets pregnant. her father, who's a Baron i think, finds out and so that she isn't sent to an abbey for the rest of her life praying for forgivness she tries to free Tam Lin from his curse (he was once human before he was captured by the Elf Queen). so on Halloween when the fairies march through the forest she knocks Tamlin off his white steed and the elf queen turns him into a snake, a bear, and a lion and Jenny holds on because if she lets go he'll leave her FOREVER. finally the elf queen turns him into a burning coal and she throws him in the well. he rises, naked, from the well. they kiss the elf queen loses and they live happily ever after the end...

the version i read was An Earthly Knight...i can't quite remeber the author's names but she combined Tam Lin with another ballad called Lady Isabel and th Elf Knight. completly different story. not even the same people but amazingly it worked. i highly recommend the book.

sorry for the outrageously long post...i'm tired and need to sleep...plenty of time for that TOMMORROW. no school till next monday ^-^

still...prehaps i should stop babbling. yeah i'll give your ears and my fingers a break...i would like to find another Tam Lin story before mom kicks me off the computer...it's 11:58...WHY AM I STILL TALKING?!

LATER...
