One song can do so much...

Have you ever been so addicted to a song that you can't stop listening to it for days, or even weeks on end?
I have!
The song of this addiction is called Futuristic Lover by Katy Perry. I haven’t stopped listening to it for days now! Ever since that YouTube video...
I love all kinds of music...EXCEPT rap and country...I only listen to about two songs in each of those categories...
I also like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Beyonce.
But my real love for music is in Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, GNR, Metallica...Black Sabbath...a.k.a. Metal/Rock N Roll.
I've even been on band binges...Metallica binge, GNR binge, Ozzy binge...A music binge is an addiction to that song or band..It or they are all you listen to. HA
Last summer it was an Iron Maiden binge...in December it was a Metallica binge. I go on a binge every now and then...
Music is like medicine, it saved my life not once but twice. It helps to inspire me a lot when I write. An entire book that I'm writing is based o an Iron Maiden album. It's pretty good so far, thanks Iron Maiden!
Characters are based off of songs or band members from other bands as well.
The music eras I love most are the 60's to the 80's...The 70's were my time man! I often say that I was born in the wrong era. Haha If only good music was still around.
Besides rock I love a couple Opera's and musicals, and the like of Vivaldi, Mozart, and Beethoven.
Music lifts me when I'm down. It inspires me and saved me. It's a love that I have.
If only my Zune worked...I need music for it and to recharge it...I would have my head phones in my ears all the time.
Music has always been a strange infatuation for human beings ever since the dawn of time.
And I don't just love music like other people do...I have a strange love for it...

A rift in Time and Space....

Have you ever had a dream that you can't let go of? You go back to sleep hoping that the dream will return...
I've had a couple dreams like that. But have you ever had a dream that feels so real that you have to force yourself to differentiate which world is really real? In 2008 I had a dream so real that I'm convinced it wasn't just a dream...it was different place in time, I felt the pain, the emotions. Everything about that dream was so strong....So I made a book out of it and I revisited that dream world several different times and each was different part of the story.
Can I really travel to a different time in a different world?
I feel like it...I feel with all my heart and soul that the world I dreamt of was and is real. I believe all dreams are either your soul traveling through space and time or our subconscious unlocking the tightly closed chest that so called "reality" creates. People create a reality where really, nothing is possible. Vampires and werewolves aren't possible. If people really believed that anything is possible then they would have a more open mind and say that there IS a possibility that certain things called myth are real. The myth had to come from somewhere and scientists and historians are always coming up with new ways to rationalize the origins of werewolves and vampires.But you can't rationalize everything like that....
I may not be making sense, you can believe that I don't even know what I'm talking about.
People are just scared of what they no know nothing about.
 In my alternate time there's a man that is in love with me and I him...we're married. We'd die for each other and we have complete understanding for each other. I don't believe in every "myth" out there...but some feel stronger than others...attract me more than others.
That other place where I go in my dreams feels too real....and my dreams lead to strange infatuations, not just night dreams but my waking/day dreams. I once had a dream about having Freddy Krueger's child...it was so real, felt so incredibly real, that when I woke up my hand went straight to my stomach to feel for a baby...but there was none and instead of being satisfied that it was all just a dream I was confused....it was just so real..so very, very, real.
My love are not just for characters in a movie or book or writing...it's for everything strange.
(but most of the time my loves are for the odd-one-out-character)

Writers write

I guess this is how Harely Quinn would feel with the Joker...She wasn't supposed to love him but she did anyway...
I've actually started a couple fanfics on a couple of the infatuations last mentioned.
And I wouldn't just write short story fanfics..Me? Write a short story? Well then you'd have to define "short". I've written short stories before but what I call "short" is more like nine or so pages long...Yeah.That's short for me..I did write a story a few days ago that was only three pages long...but I forced myself to make it that way. If I wasn't told by everyone around me  to keep it under five pages it probably would have ended up somewhere around six pages. Two weeks ago I was asked to write a short and what I turned out was ten pages long...and I wasn't even finished yet!
Well all I can say is that I'm a natural born writer, and writers write. . .a lot.
So back to my infatuations.
Some go on to be fantasy lovers..I mean who doesn't end up having a fantasy lover? I don't control my dreams I let them take their courses and they turn out pretty dang weird. Dreams are where I can be with anyone, be anyone, do anything. Most of my better stories are part of dreams. Day dreams, night dreams, nightmares/ night terrors.
I've always known I was weird, different from everybody. People always say "Be different" but even with that said, I go way beyond just that kind of different. I'm like the poster-child for weirdness (strangeness). As a child when all the other kids were outside playing and having fun I would be in a corner reading a book. I've probably read more books than anyone else in my family even if I didn't read a book all the way through, it's like I've held, opened, looked through, picked up more books than my family.
 Which might be the reason why I deeper understanding for older language....today in class my teacher gave a Quick Write ( we write our thoughts about a provided quote) "All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled" Oscar Wilde..and just about everyone in the class missunderstood the way "fancy" was being used....I don't know why, but a lot of people in that class don't seem to know anything about old literature and language....makes me feel even more out of place...again with the different. But I love it and wouldn't have it any other way.

A heads up for future blogs...not all will be about loving a person. Some will be about strange food that I love. like Saltine Crackers dipped in milk, it's actually better than it sounds *wink*  And when my current fanfic gets longer a link will be in order.

Strange Loves

So recently I watched the movie Titan A.E. (Good movie I like it) I especially liked the character Preed...the tall alien who likes Akima...And then I realized that I found him strangely attractive.  And that led me to realize how many odd charatcers in movies that I find cute or attractive when no one else does....I don't fall in love with them or anything...I just gravitate toward that character more than the others. To name a few there's Preed from Titan A.E. of course, Freddy Krueger of Nightmare on Elm Street, Gollum and Grima Worm Tongue, Frodo and Pipin from Lord of the Rings, Barbossa from Pirates of the Carribean, Kevin from Sin City (Elijah Wood's character), Count Dracula in general (Especially the 1950's-70's versions played by Christopher Lee). To name a few. (Hmm looks like I really love villians)
Some, I find myself attracted to in some strange way, others are...inspirational. Some people would probably think "Ewww. That guy? Really?" but yeah...I don't know why they attract me, they just do. Simple enough. For the most part they inspire me to write (I'm an aspiring writer) certian stories about them, they bring out their own little stories to me. It all makes me think about personal preferences, how extreme each one is from the next. Do I make sense? I know some people agree with me that sometimes a character that wasn't intended to be as much liked as the main character might attract them, (my friend and I both love Krueger) and then a song just adds to the inspiration.
In the end  I know others and myself ask me the ultimate question "Why? Why THAT guy out of all of them?" The answer is....I don't know why. Sometimes things are just the way they are. Could be that the character is such an inspiration, or I think the outcast feels no love and I feel for him, or that the outcast is very interesting to me. It always depends on the person because I havn't heard of two people liking all of the same weird characters. I smile as I write this, because if you were ask me the "Why?" I would tell you, "I don't know, I just like him. I like to think I have all the answers to the questions people ask me, but I don't in those cases."
Good thing these characters are just that; characters. Or else I'd be chasing after them. HA! Of course, I'm just kidding *smile slyly*
