Exercising the Muscle

[shay_writes]

The job change threw me off my game and I haven't written more than 300 words this past week. Between the stress of the new schedule and the physical nature of my new assignment, I've been a puddle of pain. Swollen hands make typing a bitch. Today I am leaping back on the proverbial horse and exercising my writing muscles.

When I last visited my characters, they were discussing a porn their dead friend starred in close to the end of her marriage. I've sure there is a poorly written flashback involved. My brain was unraveling close to the end of the retreat. The proof is in the pirates and zombies I added to a woman's fiction novel.

*headdesk*

The fact this depressing novel filled with drug addiction, suicide, and rape was written while listening to Fall Out Boy amuses me. My novel is more depressing than it's soundtrack. :P

Yes, I'm still obsessed. I am convinced there isn't a situation that Fall Out Boy doesn't have a song for. (I'm starting to wonder if my obsession isn't about the music and is more about the boys playing the music. I am a freak.)

and lastly, my past has caught up with me via Facebook. An old friend found and added me. This of course created the avalanche of "if you know this person you might also know this one." My current life and my previous one are merging. I'm not sure how I feel about this. It is a bit strange.

I feel the same way about Rise Against. Grr, I hope the pain goes the hell away.

also, that's why facebook is evil. PS. OMG, you're on facebook? Send the me the link so I can friend you!

Did you know that the lead singer of Rise Against and Pete Wentz were in a band together before Rise Against and Fall Out Boy were born? It was Arma Angelus. :) I like to think FOB and Rise Against are cousins. Early FOB is more hardcore and less pop.

Facebook is evil. :P

I am, but against my will. I never use it (as you will see)

I outgrew my Facebook thing back in 2007 or 2008. I rarely hang out there anymore. It always freaks me out when people I used to know find and add me. I like to think I'm different now and that was so long ago.

and I barely have time for Live Journal. :P

I think that is why I like Twitter so much. It's easy and fast. I only have to think of 140 characters.

You're a freak in good company, though. ~is a proud freak and member of bandom, in which we flail and are stupid about the smallest bit of information~

Some of my favorite people are members of bandom. :P
