Back to the writing...
Mar. 30th, 2009 12:51 pmI spent a LOT of time on WoW last week. A little bit of escapism, a little bit of trying to get ahead. I was a bit on the irresponsible side with it, but Anakin was out of school for two weeks for spring break and so it was hard to do something that requires a lot of concentration like writing or editing. I guess I can kinda "blame" my lack of productivity on him, but now that he's back in school it's time to get back into the swing of things.
This weekend I had another break in the routine, and boy did it shake me up! I haven't been to a concert in 10 years.
I feel like I need to pause and emphasize that for a moment. Ten years. Okay, just shy of ten years by five months? Nine and a half years? Close enough.
For someone who, once upon a time, music was my LIFE...that was rough.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
desert_dragon42 was kind enough to drag me out of the house (kicking and screaming) and remind me what I'm missing.
A good concert for me is positively orgasmic. It's earth-shattering. It's mind-altering. I completely lose myself and become one with the music, and time stops, and it's everything I wish sex was.
No, really.
We saw Disturbed on Saturday. I think I can honestly say it was the best concert I've been to. There's some tough competition there, especially since I saw Kiss at the height of my obsession with them, but this was better. I went in knowing that I really like some of their music and that I'd appreciate it, and I walked out with a new musical obsession. Right now I'm listening to them while I edit "Wings of a Fallen Angel", and it's perfect. I know I'll be using some of their songs to write to, especially for climactic scenes that need a lot of energy and emotion. I'll also be hunting for Lacuna Coil songs later, because their music made me go weak in the knees. (The other bands were great for seeing live, but nothing I could write to.)
I'm still riding on the musical high. I've missed this feeling so much. I really hope I don't have to wait another ten years to get here again.
p.s.

wow_ladies off of my friends list this morning. I might actually be able to keep up with posts for a change! It's amazing how much pure garbage I no longer have to skim past...
