No that's just for one book. HH (Holiday Hacker) No pretty much i only like a song if it relates to my series some how... so that means I'd have 1021 songs for my series, because that's how many songs i have on my ipod.

After the actual writing part was finished, it felt like music distracted me. So I just put the t.v on low to break up the silence.

I can't write in silence. The creepiness distracts me.

I love songs whether they fit what I'm writing or not.

God i cant take it down here!!! My grandmom give me a guilt trip to go down the shore and see her, my boyfriend is free and they say he can come so he does. My mom knows i really really REALLY hate it down the shore. I hate the pool i hate the beach i hate the freaking horrible pool and i hate the people, but i go down anyway with my mom telling me, "oh you can do whatever you want"

What that apparently really means "You can do whatever you want as long as it also is what i want."

So I really just want to sit inside and do nothing. So my mom gets me up early to take her and my grandmom to breakfast that i dont want to eat. Then bitches at me because i dont want to sit by the pool, then my grandmom makes me take her food shoping (which is a fate worst then hell... as she moves a mile an hour bitching about all the prices and shit) so i do all that and just want to sit and do nothing but write. Now i have to sit through being bitched at that i'm a "hermit and people will think your weird, and you need color, and blah blah blah" I'm seriously about to lose it!!!!!!!!!!!

I go down to be nice and what do i get? Bitched at because i'm not the little social butterfly they want me to be. Fuck it i cant take it anymore!!!!!

I figured I'd start songs that have a theme of angels/demons, heaven/hell.
I'm used to writing/drawing in silence, since my thoughts are loud enough to fill it xD But music to get me in the right mood is probably a good idea. Whenever I listen to a song, I try to picture my characters in it... though I haven't had these characters for long, so I don't really have any songs that really fit them.

Heaven/hell, angel/demons...

Hmm, what is your story about? Knowing that helps me find songs about my own playlists, so maybe it could help me suggest songs for you.

Erm, angels and demons are people that have died(there's no eternal waiting room where the souls wait for the world to end). Hell isn't horrible unending fire and heaven isn't unending bliss. Angels have tasks assigned to them, so far I know two kinds. To go to the mortal world using a shell, a sort of temporary body, on a task to do a kind deed on one specific person. Or to go to the mortal world without a body and pick up the soul of a dying person. Demons have something similar, just with bad deeds and collecting the souls of bad people(I still need to find out how they classify them...).

Arya's an angel, Nathan's an angel and Nico's a demon. Arya and Nico fall in love through various encounters in the mortal world, and obviously that's not allowed. I'm not sure what Nathan has to do with it, he just keeps throwing ~~mysterious~~ hints of his past with Arya to me -_-

I know the ending, but not much about what happens between the beginning and end xD I like the god person, but they are hard to explain. Sort of like the force of nature, I guess? Or the ever changing reflection of humanity.

So songs about forbidden love would be good?

What sort of music do you like?

Erm, I suppose most things are fine as long as it isn't rap, country or the ones with the growling and screaming. And forbidden love would be good. It was next on my list after the angel/demon theme.

Max- Hail the Villain- "Runaway"

Laura- Earshot- "MissUnderstood"

Pip- Chad Kroeger - "Hero"

Do you have theme tunes for each of your books?

Also, out of curiousity, how do you find new music?

Kay, thanks Lisa.
I'm watching Glee right now 8D It's strange how different American high schools are from the ones here. Even the bullying is different o_O

The methods are O.O No one got dumped into the trash or had their head flushed down the toilet or whatever other things they do. The most the bullies here did was throw eraser bits and push tables...

ETA: I'm adding runaway, for Nico ^^ I'm hoping it'll help me figure out why he ended up being a demon.

Yay, Lisa!

For each half of a season, I have a favorite episode. Sectionals, Dream On, Grilled Cheesus, Original Song.

Tell me when you get to Dream On, I think there will be some good songs.

The teacher guy is pretty awesome, Emma's nice... The jock guy(can't remember his name yet) is kind of cool. I like that the characters have such obvious flaws, yet they're still very sympathetic.

Though I'm kind of confused as to why the teacher doesn't do anything when he sees the bullies so obviously about to throw Kurt into the trash O_O

Hi guys. I seem to have stepped into a conversation I can't take part in (Glee) so I'll just try to get some writing done. Also, continue ripping all of my CDs onto my laptop so I can figure out exactly how many songs I have in my musical collection.
