Complaints

[scarlettina]

Clearly I picked a good day to be crabby. I gave everyone else permission to be crabby, too. I love you all, my crabby friends. You complain with the best of 'em. It really cheered me up.

For your excellence at crabbiness, I give you Complaints Choirs of the World. (gnomi, there's even a Jerusalem complaints choir!) I spent half the morning considering the viability of creating one for Seattle:

Why is it always raining?
The 520 bridge is always jammed.
The commute is so draining
and Tim Eyman's initiatives are a sham.

The coffee's too expensive
I can never get to work on time
The ferries always run late
And Microsoft won't hire me full-time

You get the idea. Hey, livingdeadpan! Wanna compose? Former SLGCers: wanna sing?

::chuckle:: This should be good.

oh- very very nice

The man behind me on the bus
Has spent the last twenty minutes on his cell phone (Cell phone! Cell phone! Cell phone!)
And now I know far more about his
Car repairs than I ever cared to (Cared to! Cared to! Cared to!)

My classmates are always twenty minutes late,
then they blame the traffic for it.
The goddamn traffic is always there,
Plan for it, you idiot!

Oh geez, I could write one a mile long just for today but I'm too worn out from trying to cope.

I will say: extra applause for including the odious Eyman in your tune!

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

Oh, he's just loathsome and people still don't get it!

I'll add a round of applause for the Eyman mockery. I saw him mentioned again today, complaining about a proposed gas-guzzler tax. I wonder if a hot air tax would shut him up.

I'm certain I could write catchy tunes to people's epic bitchy librettos. :D

I am totally in. I would sing in a complaints choir.

We heart complaints choirs. I'm surprised this is the first you've heard of it.

That's great. I particularly liked the couple of lines in English, and the peculiarly Finnish bits.

if it makes you feel better

I wrote 3500 words today.

And then, lost at poker.

Go Figure.

Sorry you lost at poker.

Well, okay. Only a little sorry. ::wink::

Congratulations on the word count. As for me, draft 1 is complete, just under my word limit--yay! I'm editing now (at 1 o'clock in the morning). Should be ready to put this in the mail after ten AM sometime tomorrow (and thank God!).

Glad I helped to cheer you. [It did actually warm up my shrivelled little heart, for an infinitesimal moment, to vent as well.]

I'm no good at composing music, but I'll sing along in a complaints choir. After P.D.Q. Bach, it should be a snap!

I would totally sing in a Seattle complaints choir. :)
