Okay, so today, I've spent a lot of time reading.

And watching Dark Angel.

But mostly reading.

First, I want to rec you what had got to be the best description? review? idealization? of Lady Gaga ever. Period. And if you hate her, it will change your perspective of her. Here. (It's f-locked, jsyk.)

Second, there was a Kingdom Hearts fanfiction I read today called "Marigold". It's a pretty awesome story, but there was one major quote that struck a chord.

"But you know, I know, the whole fucking world knows… that’s not how it is. Shakespeare was clearly on crack when he said that bull about the world being a stage. The world isn’t a fucking stage. Stages mean rehearsals, understudies, props, scripts, and the whole nine yards and let me tell you, there ain’t none of that shit in the real world. The real world is exactly what it is. It’s a giant sphere and you’re standing right on the top of it, trying to keep your balance and trying to get where you need to go without falling off. And there’s shit that blows you over and there’s shit that knocks you down, but the point isn’t that you get knocked down, the point is that you get back up and you keep rolling that fucking metaphorical ball where it needs to go and you get there or you damn well die trying."
- Axel, Marigold, chapter 9.

Third, the above post about Lady Gaga got me thinking (while having "Bad Romance" on repeat), and I watched a video of Lady Gaga in San Francisco on the Monster Ball tour, and she said, before performing (not singing, never singing, performing) "Speechless", "Snd it was always funny to me, when I would meet people, and they would say 'You're Lady Gaga. You write dance music'. And I would say to them, 'You're telling me what I do?' So, I want you to remember tonight, while I'm singing this next song "Speechless", that you can be whoever the fuck you want to be."

And really, I think, that's when it hit me. That Lady Gaga, as said in [livejournal.com profile] miss_begonia's post, is not nearly as shallow and superficial as she'd have you believe.

And that's got me writing. Bandom, no less. Between that and other fics, I'm going to be a busy, busy bee.

And so, I'm off because fic doesn't write itself, and I have far too much feeling in my fingers at the moment. :)
