laliandraI'm feeling all bouncy and happy and shiny at the moment, not least because
I WON A COMPETITION FOR A COPY OF SARAH REES BRENNAN'S BOOK! WITH MY SLOGANING SKILLZ!
Look!
And so soon I will have an ARC and a tee shirt and I'm feeling all loved up for some RL reasons which I won't bore you with because I sicken even myself, and because I've been writing lots of romantic scenes,some with kissing in the rain and so I bring you love songs!
Now, there are a LOT of love songs about, and many of them are awful. Or sugary. Or obvious. I am a picky person and I like my romance understated and/or different. Or just plain gorgeous. So, here are some songs I love, click them, take them, as a token of my esteem!
1. Made-Up Lovesong #43 by Guillemots - Really cute, not too overdone, and about making the ordinary extraordinary, which is what love is, really.
2. I hear a symphony by The Supremes - I love The Supremes to death, and I love the idea of hearing music in your head when you see that certain someone.
3. Maybe I'm Amazed by Jem - Its simple and lovely and I feel like that girl so often, completely overwhelmed and delighted by love.
4. Friday I'm in Love by The Cure - You just cannot not be happy when you listen to this. Dance around the room!
5. I love You by The Pipettes - short and sweet, but very realistic.
6. For Once in my Life by Stevie Wonder - What's not to love? Great song, great singer, great big smiles all round.
7. Lottery Winners on Acid by The Crimea - Super quirky and adorable with twinkly guitars and bells and the best metaphor ever. Love makes you crazy.
8. L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole - Almost the ultimate. I don't want love like you see in the movies, I want love from a Big Band song...
9. For Lovers by Wolfman featuring Pete Doherty - I don't really know why I love this. I think its because it mentions trains, which I find inexplicably romantic.
10. Young Love by The Mystery Jets - I am so in love with the Mystery Jets it hurts.
Maybe next I will do favourite romantic scenes, or Great Kisses, or something... What say you, lovely flist?
So, tell me your favourite Love Songs. Or romantic scene. Something to make us all smile!
Oh, and the thing I said about my friends. I take it back. It has become apparent that I am the only sane one amongst them. On facebook we have an attempt by Lil to organise a get-together at hers -
Lil: we dont have house mates so its all cool, plus theres a very big field at the back so Dan can run around naked in if he so wishes(i have heard he likes too do this?)
Mal: 10/10 would read again
Lil: ???
Mal: Indeed. Although i may be tram driving with Newbie so sooner in june is better for me.
Onward - to Victory
Dan: I like the sound of naked frolicking in your field
Lil: We have two showers you can wash you hair here doofus
Rhys: Yeah but when Raff showers he often just wanders around naked afterwards, so unless you want to have a naked Dan and a naked raff (which will of course create the phenomenon known only as the naked Mal, often followed by the naked raffdanmal wrestling match) then its probably best to let raff shower at home....
Lal : Well there's a mental picture I didn't need
Dan: need no, want yes.
ETA: Newbie: can we make bets?
