I'm typing this up because my notebook isn't working for me these days, and I need to keep writing this. And if silly chapter titles are what it takes to make me feel better about posting a draft online, then so be it: silly chapter titles it is. Cheesy song lyrics everywhere!

chapter two

ILOVEMETRIC

I've fallen in love with Metric. Everything they've ever done, basically, excepting half of Old World Underground and a couple of songs off of Live It Out. This is a romance the likes of which I have not experienced since MUCC. They are goddamn magical. They've gotten categorized in my head as a fandom, not as a band that I like, so I keep thinking 'wait I want that story, the cool one with the Noah's Ark-esque flooding sequence, gimme that please' and I open up my bookmarks, then remember that I'm thinking about a song, not a story. Which means that I want to write lots of songfic now. Synthetica got linked in my head to rainy stories (yes that's a genre, shut up) plus Supernatural plus Abarat, which means Noah's Ark. And Waves! That song is the best thing ever, it's a song about water.

Let's do a chart, shall we?

Things I Love:
1. Lovecraftian horrors
2. Impossibly huge creatures
3. Inclement weather
4. Doom and destruction

Things That Are Metric-Related In My Head:
1. All of the above

I AM HAPPY. Or I would be, only they're playing in Radio City Music Hall two weeks after I leave for college and one week after I'll be home for my parents' birthday party, so there's no way I'm going to be able to see them. It's so rare that I like a band enough that going to a concert would be worth it ...
