Day 359- I Have Returned

I'm finally back. And I have a perfectly reasonable explanation for why I have been gone for so long. That reason is that the last three months or so have been very difficult on me, mental health-wise. I decided to not blog about those days for a few reasons:
A) In the future, I will not want to remember them.
B) I didn't want to bore you people with my depressed emo musings.

But I'm back now, I promise. Hopefully, this time, for good.
As a celebration, I shall share with you my current favourite song: The Enemy Within by Rush

Day 296- Heartbreak, But It's My Fault

Worry not about me, dear folks. The heartbreak is not as bad as it one would think. I was watching Queen music vides during this surprise snow day of mine, and I saw the video for "Who Wants To Live Forever?" and started wondering about what exactly happened when Freddie Mercury died. So, I wrote another drabble about it. (drabble = 100 word-long story)
I started with the final line, then finished off the rest of the 100 words. At the time of this post, there are 35 hits, 2 recommendations, 3 hearts, and 1 review.
I'm quite proud of my mini tale, even though I almost made a horrible mistake (fixed it, though).

They were all gathered around the bed. 

Their friend, bandmate, and essentially, leader was in that bed. Eaten away from the inside out. No one could stop it in time, and now it was too late. 

It all seemed so final. A long time coming, for sure, but no one ever thought it’d take him down. 

Every eye in the room was leaking. 

The man in the bed lifted a hand slowly to the nearest face and wiped away a tear. He couldn’t bear to see them cry over him. It hurt him. 

“Guys, it’s okay.” Freddie whispered. “I’m ready.”

The one person who left a review seemed to like it quite a bit.

Jesus this was sad. I can imagine Freddy's passing occurred in a way that was very similar to this. Wow. This hurt to think about. Excellent drabble.

To be honest, I had a whole bunch of fun writing it and cackled at the heartbreak I caused.

Day 295- Back In The Saddle

Today was the first day back to school after winter break. The first thing that gets shoved in our faces is that exams are in less than a month. To be honest, I'm looking forward to exams. I'm good at memorizing the things they give us on tests, and exams are just longer tests where I get to go home afterwards. So, to me, they aren't that unappealing.

Day 290- Day 294: Lameness To The Max

If I do the same thing every day for five days straight, I think it's acceptable to do a multi-day post.
Literally all I did was read fanfiction, watch Whose Line, listen to Rush and eat chocolate. Every. Day.

Day 289- The Day I Was Recognized By One Of My Many Heroes

I'm sure I've mentionned my favourite fanfiction author farewelltokings (who, for the longest time, I thought named herself after the author Tolkein. Don't ask me why. I jut found out that it's actually after the Rush album Farewell To Kings.) But, I've mentionned her. Today, she mentionned me!!!!!!
After a long, arduous Ficmas day, and responding to all the broken-hearted people who left me reviews (hers being the most common), she posted a new chapter to one of my favourite stories, Son Of Life. (Alex Lifeson joke. Only Rush nerds will understand.) Not only did I squeal when I saw that she had a brand-new chapter, BUT SHE DEDICATED IT TO ME!!!!!
I seriously freaked out for a solid ten minutes. These are her exact words:

I mean, how awesome is that?!
Since I'm the only one who actually leaves reviews on this story, and I know she loves getting reviews, I made mine extra-long, so that it's two or three times my normal review length.
I know what you're probably thinking: "ugh, just get a room already!"
I'm not going to do that, but I would very much like to co-author a story with her. I've got three relatively good ideas, and one has Rush, so maybe we could do that one.

Day 288- WKRP In Cincinnati

During a lovely and festive Christmas celebration, I unwrapped a boxed set of the complete set of WKRP In Cincinnati. If you folks are anything like me, you will have no idea what I'm talking about. The afformentionned boxed set was of a show, starting in 1978 about a radio station and the people who worked there. I was wary of the seemingly-easily worn-out plot, but I gave it a shot.
Someone might disagree with me, but I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode, pulling out my 'whose line' guaffaw.
The characters are a tad cliched, but they still seem fresh, as the show is so old. (Except for Jennifer. She's cute and all, but she's just there to be the eyes candy. Any smirky blonde could have played her. Keep in mind, I'm only 2/3s done season 1, but that's my judgement based on those episodes.)
But Andy, though. Andy is my eye candy. He's sweet, smart, pretty, actually funny, and he's one of the most likeable characters.

Did I mention he's pretty?

Day 287- Sabbatical Day 7
