Stalking My Memories

From a blog:

It was not in my nature to be an assertive person. I was used to looking to others for guidance, for influence, sometimes for the most basic cues of life. And yet writing stories is one of the most assertive things a person can do. Fiction is an act of willfulness, a deliberate effort to reconceive, to rearrange, to reconstitute nothing short of reality itself. Even among the most reluctant and doubtful of writers, this willfulness must emerge. Being a writer means taking the leap from listening to saying, “Listen to me.

A Tiger and Bunny amv that is just LOVELY, and enough to suck me into Hulu (heeeeeelp!). No idea of how spoilery it is.


Bastion. Play. This. Game. It's just... wow.

In other news, I've been writing more. Might have something soon. :3 If the beta doesn't think I'm totally off my rocker. We'll see.

Take a druid boomkin. Add Lunar Festival. Add the touring rocket. Add Katy Perry's song Firework*. Take much footage. End with a /oom.




*note: linked due to having the song there. I've only watched enough of the video to confirm it's the music I've heard on the radio and to be very greatly disturbed

So I have weekly therapy sessions, and I have to drive about 20 minutes to get there. The more important thing is that I listen to the radio when that happens. And I keep running into this song.... The Warrior, by Scandal. Now, it's a cute sounding, very 80's song, and so whatever. But.... I keep running into it. And... dammit....

Machinima will eat my soul, one of these days. I'm thinking Warcraft, of course. A female warrior - I keep thinking Alliance, maybe a night elf - running around, killing things, and most importantly, running into a Hoard Hunter - I think a troll, 'cause I like the whole 'myth' about how elves are descended from trolls. It's kinda cool, and probably true. Anyway, like all such things, I keep getting flashes of scenes that I want to shoot. Starting off with a low level leaving the starting area, with flashes of -

Oh hey. A night elf hunter might work cooler, what with the shadow meld making them all sneaky like - ooo, I like that. And a stealthed hunter and pet for bits about meeting eyes and the like.
Mmmm.

Eating my soul, I swear.

"Bang, bang" - that should so be a shot of the hunter using explosive shot, and also the warrior using thunder clap. Smash cuts so as to be the same view from the left and the right - I think it'd be cool.

Thankfully, I am lazy enough that nothing should ever come of this.
