I saw this meme in one of my comms and thought it would be the perfect way to get me writing again because dear God, I haven't written fic since like October!

1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Put iTunes or equivalent media player on random.
3. For each song that plays, write something related to the theme you picked inspired by the song. You have only the time frame of the song: no planning beforehand: you start when it starts, and no lingering afterward; once the song is over, you stop writing. (No fair skipping songs either; you have to take what comes by chance!)
4. Do 5 of these, then post.

I cheated because I had a playlist already playing of songs I like a lot, so it's not totally 100% random. Also, one of the songs was 13 minutes long =D But hey I wrote!

I'm posting here because let's be honest, no one checks the cky_band_fic comm any more. This way you f-listers will be inflicted with my terrible writing, muahahaha! Overall I'd give these a PG-13.

I am very, very rusty it must be said.

And obviously I picked Deron.

Note the snippets of lyrics I included in the fics because I couldn't think of my own words I am cool =P

Connie's Top 5 Reasons Why The Current British Music Scene Sucks A Fat One:

5. Razorlight - America
This song just doesn't tell me anything new, anything that I couldn't just think myself. It doesn't stir any feelings at all inside me, apart from indifference. It's slightly too trite, it's just a bit of a non-song, from a band that everyone raves over. Go figure.

4. The Zutons - Valerie
I don't like this band anyway, but this song is just...boring. And to make it even worse there are now two versions or something. First of all I don't like naming the song after a name, it sucks. The lyrics, again, could have been written by a dyslexic five-year-old. Or a monkey. 'And I miss your ginger hair/And the way you like to dress'...who misses ginger hair, lol. Musically this is just dullsville. Ugh.

3. The Hoosiers - Worried About Ray
The first time I heard this song, I thought "Jeez, Fallout Boy have let their standards slip a bit!" Yup. I don't understand the lyrics at all, and not in a good way. It's a song designed to be instantly catchy but it has no staying power. It's got that fucking almost-bouncy mid-tempo thing going on again, rhythmically it's the same through the whole song, and I'm sorry but the singer really is trying to be Patrick Stump. So this gets a big thumbs down from me.

2. Scouting For Girls - Elvis Ain't Dead
What can I say? The lyrics are fucking abysmal to this song. 'Since you've been gone I can do what I like/But it doesn't mean a lot to me'...this is love-by-numbers. And the Elvis thing? Cheesy as all fucking hell, not to mention a cheap gimmic. I have heard this song once and I already know the fucking tune and most of the words. It has all the complexity and subtlety of a cricket bat to the solar plexus. And oh my God I hate this new fad for singing with a slightly working class accent, like that ups your fucking street cred you moron! Also just realised these are the culprits behind the sickening She's So Lovely - word boys, just because there's a 'twist' in the lyrics (zomg the girl has a boyfriend NEVAR WOULD HAVE GUESSED!!) doesn't make it a complex or indeed a good song!

1. The Feeling - Fill My Little World, and Never Be Lonely, and I Love It When You Call.
After searching You Tube I have realised that 3 of my most hated songs right now are all by this fucking band. I think that The Feeling are single-handedly trying to destroy everything that has ever been good about popular music. Lyrically their songs make me want to cry. For God's sake have some creativity with your words! It's not hard! This is supposed to be poetry, not a fucking diary entry that's not a very interesting one at that! And there are more than 3 chords, you just have to look for them! The tempo, this middle-of-the-road plodding thing, coupled with the awful lyrics it's just so twee, I mean you couldn't dance to this but you couldn't cry to it either, it's just...splat. It's got zero charm. It's slimy and uninteresting and tasteless, and I hate this band, I really really fucking do.

Ta ta!

Connie's Top 8 Reasons Why Being Single Is Awesome

8. The other side of the bed becomes storage space
Because you never know when you'll need to grab that extra jumper/book/packet of biscuits, right? And speaking of bed, you get all of the covers now! And you can fart in bed and not feel guilty =P

7. One less person to buy presents for
Not to mention you can forget about anniversarys and stupid Valentine's Day. No more agonising searches for 'the perfect gift' and no more disappointment when they get it wrong.

6. You don't have to pretend to like things that you don't
"Oh of course I love Iron Maiden/comic books/that jumper/your parents sweetie!", bleh. Now you can bitch to your heart's content and nobody will be offended =) Plus you don't actually have to listen to their shitty music or watch their boring TV shows anymore, yay!

5. You don't always have to make an effort with your appearance
Can't be bothered to shave? No problem! Want a day sitting around unwashed in your pajamas? Go for it!

4. You don't have to juggle your friends and your partner
Because we've all had those annoying times where you want to go out but your partner doesn't, or you feel bad because they don't know anyone else at the party so you have to spend all night with them, or they drag you out with their lame friends and you spend all night bored out of your mind and being ignored to boot...well no more! Now you can go out when you want with who you want.

3. You can check out and flirt with other people
Come on, just because we're attached doesn't mean we've gone blind! No more guilt trips just because you spot someone cute in a pub or you enjoy flirting with your friends, you can have fun again!

2. Sex is always satisfying
'Nuff said =)

1. So much less drama
At the beginning of the relationship it's all of the little mind games: "if I call them too soon will I seem desperate? Why haven't they called me yet??" etc. etc. You spend so much time worrying about how to look good for them and what they think of you and where you should go on your dates. Then as things get more it becomes "how do we keep things exciting? What if they get bored of me??", hey, a whole shitload of new things to worry about! You have fights and there's things you don't like about them and things that they don't like about you but you stick it out anyway, or you just split up and it's been a waste of a few months. And honestly, who needs that?

Just because I could only think of 8 doesn't mean there aren't more reasons, I just are teh lame...couples suck, booooo!

Hope this makes the single folks among you smile =)
