Whimsical Fuckery, Ahoy!

That's it. I can't take it anymore.

I have decided to write a CUTE, WHIMSICAL SONG. Eventually.

Cuz I keep hearing all these horrendously adooorable songs by horrendously adoooorable little songwriters, and they're all charming and quaint, and god dammit they seem too easy to do. Like, just throw in a line about maps, some nonsensical sentences, add in an unexpected instrument and WHU-BAM.

Adorable whimsical song. Examples:
-Annie Little, 'Fly Me Away'

-She and Him, 'Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?'
-anything off of Panic at the Disco's 'Pretty.Odd.' album
-Beirut, 'Elephant Gun'
-Matt and Kim, 'Daylight'
-Landon Pigg, 'Falling in Love At A Coffee Shop'
-Norah Jones, 'Chasing Pirates', 'Sunrise'
-Emiliana Torrini, 'Heart Stopper'
-Sixpence None the Richer, 'Kiss Me'
-like a BAJILLION others

To be perfectly candid, I even have a couple of verses from I think my sophomore year written out. Good stuff actually, I just have the attention span of a squirrell when it comes to finishing all those lil' songs I keep saying I'm gonna write.

Nah but I'm serious this time.

SERIOUS.

Oh Lord

Ok...the nationwide call for Glee auditions...

...Not gonna lie. I may do it. Although after checking out their myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/gleeauditionssubmissions) it seems that they're talking, like, a singing role. That involves singing. Buh-wuh-fluh-sdfkjslljjjj. Don't they need a kooky younger sister, or a weird new kid? I can do kooky! I can do weird! I can do them really really well, too!

But singing? And that's all the audition is?? Fuuuuuu-
