A green plastic watering can
Apr. 19th, 2017 05:51 pmI was thinking of a name for this new journal and could not come up with a single idea. Nothing clever, poignant or of particular resonance stood out. Last time I had to create a username my mind was so blank I ended up putting together my dog's name and breed just because she was sitting next to me at the time. I don't claim to be the most creative when it comes to clever wording.
This time around my brainwaves had been running flat for a while before I tuned in the song I was listening to, Radiohead's Fake Plastic Trees, and I decided to go for the easy route - lyrics. Because, why not. After all, it is one of my favourite songs. One of those I have in a playlist on Spotify called My Favouritest Favourites (this is a lie, it's just called Favourites). One of those songs I scream-sing along to, sometimes with a small tear in the eye, virtual lighter in hand, waving gently as if starring in a Coca Cola ad (you know the one). For the longest time I thought this song had one of the best lines - he used to do surgery for girls in their eighties, but gravity always wins - only to find out Thom Yorke actually sang "girls in the eighties", thus breaking my heart a little bit.
The username comes from the peak of the song, that bit almost at the end that goes (caps intended, to show the glass case of emotions) BUT I CAN'T HELP THE FEELING, I COULD BLOW THROUGH THE CEILING. I might be older but I still love a bit of 90s angst.
There is a mixture of reasons behind my decision to open a new journal. To sum it up, I missed writing and I felt like a change of scenery, so here I am. Now I need to find myself a userpic - I had forgotten about those!
