Procrastinating.
Hi Anyone,
I should be writing right now. That thing about my grandma, for Write Club tommorow. I keep putting it off though. Mum wants to read it before I put it in, and I'm a bit worried about that. I'm almost certain she won't like it. I think maybe Mum is hoping for something beautiful and a real testament to who Grandma was, but I can't write that. I don't know Grandma well enough for anything like that. All I can do is write about it from my perspective. *sigh* This was a bad idea.
Somehow last night I slept funny, with my leg totally bent, and now it hurts. I'm hobbling around the house, looking for things to distract myself. I just started playing Neverwinter Nights again, mostly because I've been playing DnD, and that made me think about it a lot. But it's not even that great, I keep thinking maybe it'd be better if I was a different character.
Reluctantly, I've found myself liking Snow Patrol a lot. I didn't really want to like them, but my sister asked me to download some music for her, and she wanted one of their songs, but didn't know what it was called, so I just downloaded a few. And I listened to them to see if they had the lyric she was looking for, and yeah, I quite liked it. And I keep getting the songs stuck in my head. So now I'm downloading some more of it.
Oh, and there's this other song I really love. "Middle of the Hill" by Josh Pike. Like it's really awesome. I actually thought it was a Ben Lee song, but it's not, it just kinda sounds similar.
Oh, and I got this other song, "Vindicated" by dashboard confessionals that I heard like a couple of years ago, and found the chords for, but never really knew how it went well enough to sing it properly, but now I can, cos I've got it now. yay!
One wierd thing I realised the other day, most songs that have Rain in the title I really love.
Like "Tears and Rain" by James Blunt
Or "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor
Or "Who'll stop the rain" by John Fogerty
Or "The Rainbow Connection" by Kermit The Frog (I heard this song for the first time a couple of days ago. It's so beautiful. I cried.)
Or "Have you ever seen the rain" by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Or "No Rain" by Blind Melon
Or "Kathy's song" by Simon and Garfunkel (Okay, it doesn't have rain in the title, but it's got rain all through it.)
I think there might be others that I can't remember too. Pretty sure there is.
Ooh! And I love "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. I haven't heard it in years, but I just found it on my computer and I was like "oooh! yay!" and "Lotion" by Greenskeeper.
Arg, god! Too much good music. Brain overload. I'm totally just trying to distract myself from what I'm supposed to be doing. And dammit, it's working really really well.

Man, snow patrol, Middle of the Hill, Vindicated... if I was more concerned about what music people listened to I'd say "Teenybopper emo person!" But seriously I love those songs. Don't know Snow Patrol though.
And all those rain songs, they sound delicious. Must get me some.
Oh and Matchbox 20 is good... i like both albums!
