Life imitates South Park
Apr. 18th, 2009 11:07 pmYesterday I was driving along on the free way, happily listening to some radio station I wasn't familiar with. They were playing what appeared to be some kind of romanitc ballad. It was nice! Then the song finished and the DJ-person comes on. It didn't seem to be a a typical DJ spiel, and I was confused. Then, finally, the DJ says something about how they're glad to be 'helping millions of people hear the message of Christ' and I realized what was going on. Yep, it was a Christian radio station and the pleasant romantic song I thought I was listening to turned out to be about God. Augh! I hate it when that happens. It's like being rickrolled by Jesus. Plus, it's really creepy when a song sounds like it's about love and romance and turns out to be about committing yourself to Christ. Surely those two things should not be so easily mistaken for one another? Erg.
This week, I've felt the need to exmine my progress with the New Years Resolutions I made more than three and a half months ago. They're going okay, more or less. I slipped a little with the healthy-eating and more-exercise stuff over the month of March, but I'm trying to get back on track. I've gone for several walks this week and done a lot of cooking of healthy foods. So that's all right. The write-more resolution is going okay too. I'm currently working on a science-fiction Saiyuki AU, and it's a lot of fun. I suspect it's going to end up being a very very long story, though, which is a little intimidating. Especially considering my track record with long stories. I tend to do okay with writing the first draft, but then I get so overwhelmed with editing the whole thing that I end up stashing it away in some corner of my writing files and abandoning it. I'm thinking of editing and posting this story a bit at a time so I can't do that. That's scary though too. I pretty much never post WIP stories, and I'm always afraid the story will go downhill, or I'll get too busy to update it regularly, or will do something else to disappoint readers. Arg. Writing insecurities.
Also, I keep forgetting to post poems! ( Harbor Moonrise by Lucy Maud Montgomery )
And I found this one while surfing today, and it cracked me up.

To keep your marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.
