Music Monday: Linkin Park - New Divide

I've seriously been lagging at this whole keeping up the blog thing, so I thought what could be better than having a themed post three times a week? *lightbulb* Starting off this week will be Music Monday and the first song I've picked is one near and dear to my heart.

This has literally been one of the songs playing on loop in my iPod because it so perfectly describes the mood I want to set within the current WIP I'm working on.

Linkin Park - New Divide


Lyrics
I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing inside
The memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

In every loss, in every lie
In every truth that you deny
And each regret and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide

What are some of your favorite songs to write to and why?

Eight Question Meme!

I was tagged by the frawesomesauceness that is Lori M. Lee in a meme! And if you're not sure what a meme is, you can read about it here :D

Okay, question time! *licks the tip of my virtual pencil*

If you could go back in time and relive one moment, what would it be?

The first time I held my son. The world kind of did this weird shifting thing. I probably would've wished I had more tissues. LOL

If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?

I probably would've gone back to school sooner. If I did, I'd already be done instead of trying to finish while working full time and trying to juggle a kiddo. (okay, not *literally* juggle the kiddo...he might fall. LOL)

What movie/TV character do you most resemble in personality?

Hm...this is hard. I'd probably say Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy. LOL Cynical, self-preservationist, sarcastic, but fiercely loyal to people I genuinely care about. *stops tooting my own horn and steps off the soapbox*

If you could push one person off a cliff and get away with it, who would it be?

The coyote from the Loony Toons episodes. Just so I can watch him suspend in mid-air before falling to his untimely death...who are we kidding, he lives every time! Which is probably why I'd get away with it. *nods*

Name one habit you want to change in yourself.

My inability to focus. I mean, if I really wanted to do it, I could buckle down and put on the tunnel vision thing, but it's painful. And then there are so many pretties that I have to push aside. *pats my #twitteraddiction* I am easily distracted and literally need someone to tell me GO. FINISH. THIS. NOW. *look puppy* LOL

Describe yourself in one word.

Music.

Describe the person who named you in this meme in one word.

Frawesomesauceness. Her talent literally leaves my jaw hanging in awe. *bows down in reverence* Also, she is an expert WIP-ripper. Mmhmm.

Why do you blog? Answer in one sentence.

I blog to release errant thoughts and to communicate with other people who could identify with, relate to, or laugh at those errant thoughts. :D

Name at least 3 people to send this meme to, and then inform them.

1) Corinne O'Flynn - one of my frawesomesauce critique partners
2) Sophia - my original gal-boyfriend
3) Jeigh Meredith - my ridic frawesome critique partner turned beta reader

Happy reading and have a frawesomesauce weekend! *throws pink confetti*

Z is for amaZing

Oh Z...LOL Better late than never, right...? *nods and pretends to believe this is true* Okay, so the title's cheating just a little, but hey...what can I say? The A to Z blogging challenge WAS ZamaZing amaZing! I even got this nifty little award from the ever fab Elizabeth Mueller:




I have met so many amazing new people and have reconnected with old ones and I'd like to thank my frawesomesauce CP Corinne O'Flynn for giving me the little nudge to get my ass in blogging gear!

Now if only that would work better so I can get going on Chapter 10 of my WIP! LOL Anyway, I'm so sad to see the fantastic journey end, but I'm sure new ones will be a'comin'! Next up...the May Blog Tour! *throws pinkish gold confetti and squees* Thanks to everyone who has made the A to Z blogging challenge SO much fun! #heartschoos
