Remnants 21 - Things I Wrote for Class but Never Put up Here until Now (Thing 2: Notecard Freewrite?)

At some point we were handed note cards, and on one side, it looks like we were supposed to just write whatever we wanted. Either that or it just seems that way because I always just write whatever I want. Random side note: when I was writing my short story, I had no idea that I had used the name Martin in this. By the way, these things aren't going up here in any particular order.

Remnants 20 - Things I Wrote for Class but Never Put up Here until Now (Thing 1: Looking for Something Lost)

Back to square one. This is the piece I was talking about in Remnants 1. As this series' title says, I wrote these things for class and I'm putting them up now, but I'm leaving them unrevised.

Remnants 19 - epic music is epic

I was literally grinning beyond voluntary control as I was listened to this song for the first time (which, for the record, was around 11:19 on January 31, 2011)


in the land of twilight, under the moon
written and composed by Kajiura Yuki
vocals by FictionJunction members Yuriko Kaida, Kaori, Keiko, and Wakana

Seriously, after every time I listen to this song, it stays in my head for at least a few hours. Or maybe it just seems that way because I like it so much that I listen to it more than once in a few hours. And while I'm listening to it I suddenly feel like I have super powers. But my mind is made clear enough to know that I actually don't (if it didn't clear my mind, I'd have been in limbo the first time I listened to it, by rule of 11:00 fail). So it's not like a drug or an alternate dimension or anything, unlike Life Balance (again, more on that later). It's just epic. And I just started 5 sentences with conjunctions, probably because I'm too spellbound by this song to even care.
