How To Be

Probably a bit more than you bargained for. Blame the stress of school.

I totally stole this from alaskas_pudge because I love things like this…and I’m not quite ready for bed yet. So, let’s see how accurate I can get this one because usually these end up being pretty true for me.
 
INSTRUCTIONS
So, here's how it works:
Open your music player (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc).
Put it on shuffle.
Press play.
For every question type the song that's playing.
When you go to a new question press the next button.
Some songs fit perfectly.
 
Opening Credits: Slow Me Down by Emmy Rossum (Thank you Hollywood Video for playing this music video and getting the effing song stuck in my head!)
Waking Up: A Little Less ‘Sixteen Candles’, A Little More “Touch Me” by Fall Out Boy (I don’t know why there’s Fall Out Boy on my WMP. I can only assume it was because the song got stuck in my head.)
Falling in Love: Is This Love? by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (TOLD YOU!)
Fight scene: Main Offender by the Hives
Breaking up: Life on Mars? by David Bowie
Getting back together: Neighborhood #2 (Laika) by Arcade Fire
Secret Love: Title Music from A Clockwork Orange by Walter Carlos
Life's okay: Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Mental breakdown: You Are the Moon by the Hush Sound
Driving Flashback: Breathe Me by Sia (This reminds me of the finale of Six Feet Under! ZOMG! FAIL!)
Partying: Bird Flu by M.I.A
Happy Dance: I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor by Arctic Monkeys
Regretting: La Valse D’Amelie by Yann Tiersen (Great, now I’m going to have to watch Amelie. Good thing I love it.)
Long night alone: Crank Dat Soulja Boy by Soulja Boy (I am ashamed that I have this…but, at one point, I wanted to learn the dance…I didn’t.)
Final Battle: In the House – In a Heartbeat by John Murphy (This made me wanna watch 28 Days Later)
Death scene: This Friendly World by Jim Carrey (Andy Kaufman and Tony Clifton) and R.E.M (This made me want to watch Man on the Moon...and cry...you'd know if you saw the movie.)
End credits: End Credits by John Murphy (This made me lawl everywhere.)
 
 
Now, simply for fun, I did how I would choose to answer these…told you, I can’t quite get to sleep. (Keep it on the DL, but…some of this might be a teeny-tiny preview for what I’ve got cooking up in the realm of fanfiction next…)
 
Opening Credits:
Waking Up: Up, Up, Up by Rose Falcon
Falling in Love: Hoppipolla by Sigur Rós
Fight Scene: Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen
Breaking Up: All These Things That I’ve Done by the Killers

Reasons…
 
 
Up, Up, Up by Rose Falcon: OBVIOUS.
Hoppipolla by Sigur Rós: Yeah, I recently watched Penelope and this was totally in it and I loved this song before I saw it and just went nuts. Made the whole movie for me, haha!
Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen: Seven words, one question: Have you seen Shaun of the Dead?
All These Things That I’ve Done by the Killers: I see break-up to this…and then someone deciding to make things right.
All I Want for Christmas is You by Oliva Olson: Have you seen Love, Actually? Remember the Christmas pageant? Yeah, this is that song…and stuff was resolved then.
Love You Much Better by the Hush Sound: I love the Hush Sound and I love this song and it fits, love and jealousy from afar.
Guyamas Sonora by Beirut: It just makes me happy.
Turn It Out by Death From Above 1979: *shrugs* I have no reason, I just think it works.
The Commander Thinks Aloud by the Long Winters: Last year…I listened to this song while driving through the UP of Michigan on a foggy morning; wonderful, wonderful morning.
I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry: I’d want to dance to this at a party…and it’s about a party…and I’m gonna use it for a party. Party party party, I know a guy named Marty! Marty likes to party! …Whoops, sorry, slipped into a little Andrew WK there.
Black Panther by Crystal Castles: …Listen and you’ll understand.
The City Lights by Umbrellas: Listen to the music, read the lyrics. You’ll see.
Black & Gold by Sam Sparro: For some reason, I think of someone listening to this on repeat while getting drunk in their apartment alone after, like, a break-up or a relationship that just isn’t working into a relationship.
Stars by Ulrich Schnauss: It’d be more an internal battle…wrestling with a heavy conscience or something like that.
The Surface of the Sun by John Murphy: So dramatic and…pair it with the death of Cillian Murphy’s character in Sunshine and it’s absolutely wonderful for a death scene. Absolutely the way I want to die.
Love Always Remains by MGMT: Creditsss!
 
 
Some Notes…
 
If you haven’t seen Shaun of the Dead, go watch it. Right now. (Simon Pegg! Shaun’s friend Ed! The chick who plays Dawn on the British Office! Zombies! Romance! Comedy!)
If you haven’t seen 28 Days Later, go watch it. Right now. (Zombies! Rage! Danny Boyle! John Murphy! The soundtrack is amazing, the movie is amazing! CILLIAN MURPHY!)
If you haven’t seen Sunshine, go watch it. Right now. (Danny Boyle! John Murphy! CILLIAN MURPHY!)
If you haven’t seen Man on the Moon, go watch it. Right now. (Jim Carrey! Andy Kaufman! Courtney Love when she was still kind of human! Really good and sad!)
If you haven’t seen Love, Actually, go watch it. Right now. (Don’t know where to begin!)
If you haven’t seen Six Feet Under, go watch it. Right now. (BECAUSE IT IS AN EFFING AMAZING SHOW!)
…And I didn’t mention it, but…if you haven’t seen Breakfast on Pluto, watch it. Right now. It’s amazing. Cillian Murphy…in drag…amazing music…Liam Neeson…really just great. WOMBLES. And it’s got the dude who played the dad in 28 Days Later. Eh? Eh!
 
 
Wow. Phew. That was a lot. If you take time to listen to any of the songs I listed above – except for ones I’ve made hate/dislike comments about – and tell me what you think or the movies, I will love you forever…you…possibly going to be a stranger!
 
Time to go take a naaap.

NEW STORY POLL...ISH THING.

These are just general ideas – because I want a surprise in whatever I write and I don’t want someone stealing my idea before I am able to bring it to life – but I can’t decide which one to write on my own, so, I’m going to have a vote.
 
Keep in mind, however, that this vote could end up meaning absolutely nothing if inspiration happens to strike.
 
Instructions: Post a comment and tell which one you’d like to see written (first). If you have some ideas of your own, feel free to share them and if I roll with it, you’ll get credit – obviously. ALL the stories would be Edward/Bella with the other canon couples on the side, if at all.
 
Idea Number One
Extra scenes for Love Thy Neighbor, most likely focusing more on Edward than Bella and ranging in rating.
 
Idea Number Two
A Twilight version of Beauty and the Beast. By this, I mean, it would take place when Beauty and the Beast was meant to and pull inspiration from the Disney version as well as the old fairytale. Edward would be the Beast and Bella would be Beauty.
 
Idea Number Three
SECRET ALL HUMAN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE (Doy) STORY OF WHICH I HAVE A DEATH GRIP ON THE DETAILS.
 
Idea Number Four
A sequel to Love Thy Neighbor.
…Hmm. I guess I didn’t have as many ideas as I originally thought. Oh well. Share opinions and share ideas, please!

Author’s Note: I got over a small case of Writer’s Block…thanks to excitement (saw the Hush Sound on Monday and going to see Boris on Friday, as well as Hellboy II and Batman sometime this weekend) and a large Blue Raspberry Icee that probably wasn’t the best choice, as food items with the color blue in them tend to make me a little crazy. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Author:
caution_cat
Rating:
T (rated for later occurrences, may even go up)
Genre:
General / Romance

Bella/Edward. Slightly one-sided and friendly (for a stint) Jacob/Bella in this chapter.
Summary: ‘Perhaps there’d be someone who could help Bella adjust to her new life in Jacksonville’. Perhaps that someone just happens to be her very attractive new neighbor. (AU, All Human)
Disclaimer:

Author’s Note: I know, I know…no one wanted to see Jacob again…but, for my experience, ex-boyfriends have a habit of popping back up. I'm sorry if this is...really, really dramatically dramatic.

I just started a second journal for my nonfanfiction writings, random stuff, and probably some personal stuff. Not sure if anyone is interested, but if you are, feel free to friend it.

Author's Note: You may have noticed, but now there's a final chapter count! Oh no, just three more chapters after this one! This chapter was written midway through a thirteen hour car ride, but I hope my boredom didn't seep into it and cause it to become boring itself.
