Story progress

I.  Have.  Written.

Did it late last night.  I've finally filled that notebook - on to the next, much better and prettier one!!!  Unfortunately, I didn't have it with me, but I wanted to finish what I was doing so badly that I wrote in the margins and around on the last blank page where I had scribbled all of the known subjects and various songs worth checking out.  But I can post!  Hopefully I will this afternoon.

The girls are out of Dumbledore's office. Finally.  There's an impromptu talk between Lily and Mary - I like it.  Funny how all my impromptu scenes I like the best - that's kinda sad.  Everything I plan in ahead doesn't turn out as well.  Let's see, what's next?  I know what I promised Sirius.  But there needs to be some sort of transition...a last status report on the girls.  Really, this is such a point, for the entire story and especially Rose.  She's never going to be the same again, as I said in my meta. It can be compared to Gone in the Wind, when Scarlett was shot down by Ashley in the library, or when she came back to Tara during the war and threw up and collapsed in the back garden of Twelve Oaks, then made her resolution. Rose is officially disillusioned in Lily - and no, for the record, it did not happen when she found out Lily was pregnant; it happened in the scene I'm about to post, when she made her decision. This may seem strange, but it's true.

Bell.  More later.

Somebody Told Me - The Killers

Somebody Told Me

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

Ready? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you

Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Pace yourself from me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don't know now

Maybe baby and
All I wanna do is try

Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around...

Vitamin R - Chevelle

Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)

Some will learn many do
Cover up or spread it out
Turn around had enough
Pick and choose or pass it on
Buying in heading for
Suffer now or suffer then
It's bad enough I want the fear
Need the fear cause he's alone

(And he has become)

Well if they're making it (making it)
Then they're pushing it (pushing it)
And they're leading us along
The hassle of (hassle of)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
That panic makes remorse

After all what's the point
Course levitation is possible
If you're a fly achieved and gone
There's time for this and so much more
It's typical create a world
A special place of my design
To never cope or never care
Just use the key cause he's alone

(And he has become)
He's alone
(And he has become)

Well if they're making it (making it)
Then they're pushing it (pushing it)
And they're leading us along
The hassle of (hassle of)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
That panic makes remorse

Over and over a slave became
Over and over a slave became
Over and over a slave became
Over and over a slave

Well if they're making it (making it)
Then they're pushing it (pushing it)
And they're leading us along
The hassle of (hassle of)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
That panic held before

Well if they're making it (making it)
Then they're pushing it (pushing it)
And they're leading us along
Like a cancer caused (cancer caused)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
And their panic makes remorse

First true kiss

Finished reading The Red Tent for the second time.  Best.  Book.  Ever.

Also - I finally hit upon an idea for Lily and James's first kiss.  It involves blood.

Posted on the boards.  God, that took forever to type up.  Anna is the first to read.
