I actually started writing my Sleeping Beauty story today. It's not actually about Sleeping Beauty. But... you'll see. I picked a hellova tiume to get inspired, though, exams are coming up and shit is happening.
I seem to have developed an obsession with fairytales. My Rapunzel story, my Multi movie which is an adaptation of Snow White, and now this. At least i'm pretty sure I'm not having with Cinderella - that thing has been done to death, and it's not romantic enough anyway. And when I say romantic, I mean it in the oldfashioned sense, ie that of "Romanticism: An artistic and intellectual movement originating in Europe in the late 18th century and characterized by a heightened interest in nature, emphasis on the individual's expression of emotion and imagination, departure from the attitudes and forms of classicism, and rebellion against established social rules and conventions" as opposed to lovey-dovey. Cinderella is completely lacking in mystery, there's nothing to develop. It's too neat. And modern versions have been done about fifteen gazillion times. Hmmph.
I'm trying to put my singing teachers version of No Seatbelt Song into Guitar Pro, so I can accompany myself at home. So far, no luck. I think it'll be easier to just dld the tab and then shift it down three semitones. Yeah.
Funnily enough, my grandma picked today to give me The Talk. I was horrified - you never think about why cliches are cliche until they invade your life. The point is that they're cliche because they happen. Lots. Eh, they'll get over it. They left it up to the public school system when I was a kid, so they can bloody well but out now. (On that subject, I have a feeling I'm going to be failing my PD test again... we haven't actually had a lesson all year, except that one talk about driving safely).
