Hate my job.

I do not like my job. It has got way worse since the change from 192 to 11 88 88 especially as it's got customers in a bad mood and taking it out on poor, defenceless operators who are trying to deal with new computer systems that make their computers crash because they've put the new program/database thing on old computers.

Anyway... broke the no reading etc rule at work to write some stuff... including my very first specific song. I've written lots of stuff over a lot of time, but writing an actual song has always rather eluded me, although Dionysus Falling was a way towards it. But! this new song... it rhymes and everything! It scans, it flows! I've only got a year to equal Robert Plant writing Stairway to Heaven at, like, 22... but I feel I am finally on my way there. Have also been singing day in and day out lately, trying quite desperately to remember how to do it. I know I could once...

*stumbles off in search of talent*

AWWWW

I would love to hear your song, mate :-) You should hear Maya, aka Kelly Clarkson Jr. (just kidding). Her summer day camp experience was mostly focused on art, music and drama, and she is memorizing songs from The Libbie McGuire movie soundtrack. Okay, it's crap, but it's a start (I don't think she's ready to sing Zep or Janis yet).

You're never too young to sing the Zeppelin!

Although she might want to leave out the lemon bits..... Yeah, she's too young!

She sounds a lot like me when I was 8 (she just turned 8, right? I didn't just make that up?) although with the benefit of summer camp.

She just turned 7. But she looks like she's 10 (she has big, tall genes). So when she's 9 we'll have 13 year old boys sniffing around here. We really must build that moat right away...

Dungeons can take a while to get set up- you should start now.

I'm so sorry you don't like your job. *hugs*

I don't like mine either. Wouldn't it be great to get paid to write?

Hugs,
Elia

Paid to write? You mean like a proper writer? Damn straight!

Hugs to you too!

You still can sing! Remember that club thingy? 'I want to be a passenger...!!!'

*coughs and splutters*

Do not associate me with that hack fool pseudo-poet twat!

I was merely reminding you of the night in question and was not implying that you were in any way similar to that "hack fool pseudo-poet twat"! You were good. He was funny in a 'let's laugh at the poor deluded fool' way. But at least he didn't declare his undying love for whoever it was that chick liked!
oh those funny funny days!!
