Peacebreakers playlist...

Because you know that secretly, every writer builds a playlist in their head to fit their story.

These are in somewhat of a sequential order and this list may contain spoilers if you listen to the lyrics or even just read the title. Some of them are next to each other if they correspond to two events happening at the same time, so order's just there to keep it in a single-file list. On the other hand, a few of them have this back-and-forth thing going on, i.e. Animal is a direct response to The Pedestrian. Anyway, I'll just leave you to figure that out. (By the way, for those who don't know this, the Foxboro Hot Tubs is the same people as Green Day. It's like they decided they'd all go solo for a while...together. Or something.)

Overmind's Note: Ultimate.

Hey everyone. The Overmind here for a quick chat. This has nothing to do with writing but every once in a while we nonfictional people need to address our own issues, eh?

So the topic on my mind today is love. Why? Because I was just editing a story to a random playlist on Youtube and Lindsay Lohan's Ultimate came on. You know, that song from Freaky Friday? Anyway, it's pretty catchy for a pop song and it has guitar, but bits of the chorus threw me a little:

'Cause I've been waiting all my life
For someone just like you...

Wait. Hold up. The narrator of this song is assumed to be...what? Eighteen? And she's been waiting all her life for a guy to come along and sweep her off her feet? At that age, should we really be waiting for anything? I don't know about you, but if I was in the middle of the best years of my life, I would party hard, seize opportunities, and go out and accomplish things. If a love affair came along, I'd take it, but by no means would I sit around waiting for someone to hand me completion on a silver platter.

I guess I just overreact to the little things I hear on the radio, but I thought maybe I'd put in my two cents.

On that note, I leave you with a song by La Roux whose lyrics are a much more accurate summary of my outlook:

Been there, done that, messed around
I'm having fun, don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet.
