Hello, world of Blogger

I've been converted to Blogger. All my Wordpress subscribers were leaving, so if I wanted to still read their blogs, I had to follow. Well, I didn't have to, but you know. Thanks to Lykaios, I transferred all my posts here, so at least I didn't lose anything. 

Hmm. This is kind of a boring post, and I am feeling little motivation to do anything about that. Huh. Odd.

Anyway, yeah. If I keep writing, my English professor says that something will start to come, because your brain doesn't want to be bored or write about nothing, so it will eventually come up with something for you to write about. But in this case, that's all I got, because I want to write my story. *goes back to novel writing*

Radio Music and Broadway Songs

Sometimes, I listen to song lyrics and can’t help but wonder what the songwriter was thinking when he or she was writing. Half the songs on the radio sound the same and are either about falling in love or heartbreak. That’s why I listen to movie soundtracks when I write, though those can get boring if I’m not trying to concentrate, so while I do turn on the radio occasionally, I’d rather listen to Broadway musical soundtracks. I think I like Broadway songs because they tell a story. It can be a love story, just like those songs on the radio, but the music is so much fuller, and the singers are actors or actresses, so they have so much emotion in their voices.

Some of the wittiest lyrics I’ve ever heard come from the musical Spamalot; some of the best musical accompaniment I’ve heard comes from Next to Normal. The worst lyric’s simile that I’ve heard comes from Katie Perry’s Fireworks. Her opening line is “Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind,” and makes me wince every time I hear it. She’s probably asking if someone has ever felt ever felt as if they had nothing holding them down, but it sounds an awful lot like she’s asking if anyone has ever felt like a piece of garbage.

First Post

First posts. Don't'cha just love 'em? No, not really.

I've been thinking about making a blog for a while now, and finally decided "Eh, why not?" I keep getting ideas for blog posts and not having a blog. Except, I already had a Wordpress account from when I blogged for Young Writers Online's magazine website, so there was really nothing stopping me. Don't know how long this is going to last or if it'll go anyway, but let's give it a try.
