I have been trying to write today, and have written a little. Soon after I started in earnest, I spent twenty minutes staring into space trying to think of something that was vaguely like a soup tureen but not quite. Writing is "fun."
I have been compiling Xander songs today. I don't have many, but okay, so far:
1) "Some Fantastic" by Barenaked Ladies (courtesy of a fabulous vid by Laura Shapiro)Mostly the third song, really. I love to think of Xander when I hear it.
2) "Solsbury Hill" by Peter Gabriel (because Xander deserves some joy)
3) "No Such Thing" by John Mayer
"Welcome to the real world," she said to me condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
Is still hiding
Up my sleeve
They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side
I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above
So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
Faded white hats
Grabbing credits
Maybe transfers
They read all the books but they can't find the answers
And all of our parents
They're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies
They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side
I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you got to rise above
I am invincible
I am invincible
I am invincible
As long as I'm alive
I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above
I just can't wait til my ten-year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for...
Xander makes me happy. Me and Spike.
