Oct. 27th, 2013 07:51 pmLast night I had a horrible thing happen to me... I had Miley Cyrus' song "Wrecking Ball" in my head.
OTL
I tried. I tried very hard not to like it but there's something I can't deny. I really do like parts of the song. Like the beginning. I just like the way her voice sounds in the beginning of it. I'm not so much into the chorus but there's just something about the way the song is setup that isn't terrible... And I kinda hate myself for it. God, I wish liking the song didn't make me feel embarrassed because liking Miley Cyrus -- as she is now -- isn't something I generally like to admit. And yuck, the music video is still atrocious. I can't help it. I'm a typical American prude. Stuff like that just makes me go NO! *shudders*
But right now I'm also loving Lorde's "Royals" (like everybody else). I was so shocked to find out she's only 16. She doesn't sound that young. And the song's subject matter isn't really something you would expect from someone that young either. It's what I expected someone in their 20s to sing... I don't know why, but I've always got the impression that it was sung in the point of view of a whatever the Jersey Shore equivalent in England would be... My brother told me what area it was once upon a time but I've completely spaced on it now...
And outside of that, I'm also loving Woodkid's "Ghost Lights." It's being used in TV commercials for Absolut Vodka but every time it's on, I'm always taken by the song. I've been hearing it for about a month now and every time I hear it, I tell myself I need to hunt down that song but until last night, I've always forgotten. But now I have it and I love it! It's the perfect mix of indie and rock and it's exactly my type of music. I just wish it had some sort of cresendo or climax to the song. The way the instrumentals sound, it sounds like it's leading to one but his vocals never get there and you end up being disappointed. But the sound of the song ends up blowing you away so it makes up for the vocals being a bit lackluster. They're not bad, and they're certainly interesting but sometimes I want more from it and I never end up getting it.
So lately, I've been in a sort of TV/fanfic craze. If I wasn't catching up on TV, I was reading a ton of fanfic. And because of that, things have sorta gone to the wayside. Like LJ. I really want to get back into a routine of checking up with it every so often but it's already the 27th. In a few days, NaNoWriMo will start and I'm gonna be OMG I HAVE NO TIME FOR ANYTHING!!!
But I find with each successive year, my motivation to "win" it lessens. I mean sure, I want to win it. I want to make it to the end. And I probably will get 50,000 words but eh, if I don't. This year I'm gonna try a fanfic again, something I hadn't done since the first year. But I wanna try writing fanfic again and lately, I've been so obsessed with the Bruce Banner/Tony Stark fandom (I've barely gone up for air), that I have all these IDEAS swirling in my head... It's gonna be an AU starting with the premise of Bruce at MIT and spreading through to the end of The Avengers. Unfortunately, it's making me a bit anxious because I haven't seen The Incredible Hulk and I really don't want to since it isn't Mark Ruffalo... Plus, Betty... But I think I need to, at least once to familiarize myself with how this version of the Hulk came to be at the very least. And then there's the fact that being more of a DC girl, I really don't have a good understanding of the Marvel universe...
I'm hoping to make it up as I go along but I really want to stay somewhat true to canon. But part of what is appealing about this story is the idea of Bruce and Tony sorta "growing up" together and I imagine finding your ONE TRUE LOVE at such a young age has got to change both of them. I think it could be fun. And if nothing else, I get to try my hand at gay sex again... I was really bad it at it last time so I imagine I'll be really bad at writing it now too. But hopefully it won't be too hard to get out...
