A Little Piece of Me

This is, as you could probably tell, a little piece of me. Then again, pretty much every post in this blog is, but whatever. By the way, I'm in the middle of writing a paper. But not really, because I'm writing this blog post now.

So I've been listening to Pandora (just one of my many hecka-amazing stations [ask me sometime]) and I got a little emotional when "Kryptonite" came on. I know what you're thinking: "Why? Nobody even knows anything about what that song means, except that maybe it has something to do with Superman."

And you're absolutely right, because nobody even knows anything about what that song means, except that maybe it has something to do with Superman. So here's the thing: you probably don't know this, but I love writing. Not just blogs, mind you, but novels too. And sometimes poetry, if someone makes me super mad (ask me about that sometime, too). What does my writing have to do with some song by 3 Doors Down? I'm so glad you asked.

I'm sort of writing a novel about Superman. Sort of. It's a new (and completely different) take on the story. At least, I'm pretty sure it's different, because I came up with it and I haven't seen anything similar anywhere. So there. Anyways. This book is pretty close to my heart. And yes, I know that's such a gag-inducing cliche, but it's true. There's really no other way to describe it. I've put my heart and soul into writing it, every feeling and thought I've ever had (okay, not really, but pretty dang close). My emotions go into what I'm writing. So when I hear the song "Kryptonite," my mind subconsciously connects to my own experiences. Weird, right?

So, yeah. I'm super strange, and now you know it. You also know that whenever I think of my unfinished novel, my heart fills with a rush that I can't even describe. I've worked on it so long, but I really haven't gotten far. Hopefully one day it will be finished and I can share it with the world. And maybe be famous and earn some petty cash along the way.

Bottom line: I love music, and I love my novel, and I love ice cream. Thank you, and good night.
