Depression

Just to make this clear, this post is not about me. I don't have depression or anything. This post is actually about my new novel. I have recently watch Silver Linings, and I have to say, I loved it. A lot. The whole anger issue and bipolar illness and depression . . . it fascinated me. Stuff like that always has. And for some absurd and probably wrong reason, it gave me inspiration.

Lately, I've been lazy with my writing, I have to admit. I felt like my main character was boring, and just like my other one, which annoyed me to no end, and every time I sat down to write I just couldn't get the words onto the blank document. But, suddenly, I realised that I'd played it too safe with my characters. They don't have real problems. Ha, their anger was nothing compared to Pat's in Silver Linings. And characters like Tiffany and Pat stay with you for a long time.

So that's why I have decided to give my main character depression and anger issues. Yeah, she'll be crazy, and scare people away, but it's interesting to me, so I don't give a damn about what other people think! Haha, I'm just kidding.

My new character is going to have a temper, and she is not one I'm going to forget any time soon. And I like that.

F*ck You Over and Somewhere In Neverland

So it's that time of week again! I kind of forgot to do this last week (what a terrible excuse, I know) but oh well, I'll make it up today with TWO new songs.

The first of the two is F*ck You Over by The Summer Set.

I had never heard of this band until a week or two ago, when they followed me on Twitter. They had a tick next to their name so I decided to check them out, and boy am I glad I did! I wanted to show the official music video but it wouldn't let me, so you have the lyrics instead. There's just something I like about the high voice and catchy song. Definitely a new favourite band.

The second song is Somewhere In Neverland by All Time Low.

I have loved All Time Low for years, and I guess it's safe to say that the album Dirty Work was not one of their best. Thankfully, though, they really brought themselves back together with their new album Don't Panic and this is just one of many songs that reminded me of their old sound. I love the whole Peter Pan reference, and as usual the singing is amazing. This band is and forever will be my all time favourite band (pun not intended :P).

New Name, New Schedule

As you've most probably seen, I have changed the name of my blog. With the new year and all, it just seemed appropriate. And, with the new name, comes a new schedule. The first addition is Music Tuesdays. I have wanted to do this Music Tuesdays thing for a while, and now is a great time to do it!

The first song I have chosen is Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men.

If you haven't heard this song before, I highly suggest you listen to it, or watch the video at least. It's a strange video, but I like it. I like that it's so imaginative and just weird. I like weird.
