"We need body rockin', not perfection.
Let me get some action, from the back section"
I love how my brain works. Sometimes I don't even know what it's up to, until I look at whatever it is I've used it for. What starts off as nothing in particular, just me being creative (whether it be writing or making a greeting), ends up with me staring at the finished product and going ".... Oh". Then I realise how far ahead my thought process actually was. It's as if it works so fast that it takes a while for the rest of the brain to catch up with what is going on, haha.
Not that I mind, not at all. It makes it so much more interesting, because I know that from those moments of inspiration, I will learn something about myself. Connect with the inner me on a broader spectrum, I guess :p
Sara asked what my favourite fairy tale was. (Which is kind of fitting, since I wanted that little story I started on to have that kind of feel to it.)
The second I started to think about it, I remembered this book filled with fairy tales. All of them had a very ornamented writing style and were mostly about princesses and their adventures (I think). I can't recall the title, but I am now inspired to go and see if I can find it.
EDIT: It seems there were 7 books, each coded with a color ("The Red Fairy Tale book", "The Green Fairy Tale book", etc). At least I think these are the ones that my memory vaguely remembered. We'll find out when I borrow them :p
But yes, my favourite one would be.... Momo. (I don't know if I'm entitled to refer to it as a fairy tale, but I couldn't think of one that correctly falls under the category.) It is so sweet and has a lot of depth to it. The writing is excellent. You get swept away very easily, even though mr Ende doesn't pull out the violins or cymbals when he describes certain situations. It feels very low-key and yet you find that your heart is racing when she has to walk so slowly, you are moved to tears when she is fighting what seems to be a futile battle.
I should read it again and make a more proper explanation as to why I love it so much. My body and brain aren't working together very well today, heh.
Ugh, I had completely forgotten how horrible Day 2 was. Until now *groans* And we have no aspirin or good painkillers in the house, which means I'll have to pull myself together, get out of the house, go to the pharmacy and back again. I can't imagine doing that when I struggle to even sit up straight -_-
I think I'll end the post here and go get that aspirin now....
and sweets, lots of sweets :p
