Am I alone in my frustrations, or does the computer have a vendetta against me. High CPU usage, failure to save changes in a document, or just random messages that I don't understand are becoming the norm. Maybe it is time to update my old dinasour into a new and sleeker model, preferably one not powered by hamsters running on a wheel.
Okay, so I got off on a rant. Back to the wicked ways. I've gone over the edge with the darker side of writing again. Am I alone? Or are there others out there who enjoy the supernatural side of things. Do you identify with the humans in the paranormal love story, or are you more drawn to the monster side of the equation. I love the dark side. Maybe there is something in my that longs to be turned loose and free to kill whomever annoys me.
Being Human has become my number one TV show, okay so Supernatural still ranks up there, but am I alone in this? Let me know what you think.
I hear you on the computer rant. Dang things. But we go on loving them, don't we. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm drawn to the dark side only because Samantha Stevens's cousin Sabrina always had more fun!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst - Oh yeah baby to the "Supernatural" action. And oh yeah to action of the supernatural variety :)
ReplyDeleteAnd technology - got love it, when it works.
I believe that inside each of us there is a desire or tendency towards the supernatural.
ReplyDeleteAnd when it comes to computers: love em or hate em, but we as writers need em.
Even the good witches in Charmed fell victim to their dark side from time to time. That's what kept things interesting.
ReplyDeleteAs for computers? Since I got a MacBook I have no complaints. But put me on one of my older computers and you'll unleash MY dark side. ;)
I have a song when I feel lonely. It's by Jane Siberry and it's on "The Crow" movie track.
ReplyDeleteWe walk the narrow path
Beneath the smoking skies
Sometimes you can barely tell the difference
Between darkness and light
Do you have faith in what we believe?
The truest test is when we can not
When we can not see
I hear pounding feet in the
In the streets below and the
And the women crying and the
And the children know that there
That there's something wrong
And it's hard to believe that love will prevail
It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever
And though the night seems long
Your tears won't fall forever
When I'm lonely
I lie awake at night
And I wish you were here
I miss you
Can you tell me, is there something more to believe in?
Or is this all there is?
And the pounding feet in the
In the streets below and the
And the window breaks and
And a woman falls, there's
There's something wrong, it's
It's so hard to believe that love will prevail
It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever
And though the night seems long
Your tears won't fall
Your tears won't fall
Your tears won't fall
Forever
Last night I had a dream
You came into my room
You took me into your arms
Whispering and kissing me
And telling me to still believe
But then the emptiness of a burning sea against which we see our darkest of sadness
Until I felt safe and warm
I fell asleep in your arms
When I awoke I cried again
For you were gone
Can you hear me?
It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever
And though the night seems long
Your tears won't fall forever
It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever
And though the night seems long
Your tears won't fall
Your tears won't fall
Your tears won't fall
Forever
I had a hamster run computer and just got myself another dell. Love it! Love "Being human"! We watch it every week.
I tend to identify with monsters. I know many times it's just a matter of perspective on who the monster really is.
