    Writer's Block: Auld Lang Syne

    For those who are into such things, this might be the biggest party night of the year. Other people like to keep it a little more low key. How do you plan to ring in the New Year?

    Watch CNN with the famfam. Someday I'll go to a party, I'm sure. Just not this year.

    Writer's Block: Reconsidering Children's Books

    Have you ever gone back and re-read a book you loved as a child only to find it incredibly disturbing now that you're an adult? Like The Giving Tree, for example: a terrifying tale of self-sacrifice or a reassuring story of maternal love?


    View 500 Answers

    Oh, God, the Giving Tree makes me BAWL. The last picture where the old man's sitting on the stump... Holy crap.

    It's kind of disturbing to think about nursery rhymes that used to put me to sleep. Rock-a-bye Baby was always my lullaby of choice.

    Other than that, no. I mean, my sister and I have been going on a major VHS binge, and the most disturbing thing for us has been calling dibs on the attractive cartoon men (we're thirteen and fifteen, we can do that).

    Writer's Block: Unnecessary Objects

    Oscar Wilde, a dandy’s dandy, once said that “we live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.” What unnecessary possession can you not live without?

    Writer's Block: Live Music

    When it comes to bebop, you want to take it straight, no chaser. And a smoky jazz club is the best place to get it. What’s your favorite kind of place to see live music?


    View 342 Answers

    ...Tell me I'm not the only one who thought of Good Omens when I read this.

    Do you know, LJ, that probably if a million human beings were asked to describe modern music, they wouldn't use the term "be-bop"?

    Ode to a Ten-Year-Old Boy
    Okay, so my brother Ethan is probably the most freaking amazing kid in the world. Like, for serious. I have proof.

    Exhibit A:
    After months and months of begging, Mom and Dad finally caved in and bought him an electric guitar and got him some lessons. One would expect someone that young starting out on the guitar to want to play Smoke on the Water and Iron Man, right? Well, Dad had already taught him that on his acoustic, so he just learned the chords to Smoke on the Water and started asking his teacher if he could learn stuff by people like the Beatles, Green Day, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix. He isn't bad, either.

    Exhibit B:
    He's the only person in the family with anything by the Doors on his iPod. None of those songs were recommended to him. He also buys other stuff on iTunes that make Mom and Dad ask two questions: "Where did you hear about that song?" and "Can I burn it so I can have it on my iPod, too?"

    Exhibit C:
    He'll get into huge fights with his friends (as in the kind where you don't talk to your friends for days) over politics. And he doesn't just parrot whatever his parents say like his friends do. And this happens ALL THE TIME.

    Exhibit D:
    Transcript of a conversation between Mom and Ethan when he had to memorize some of the state capitals:

    Mom: What's the capital of Alaska?
    Ethan: Ummm...
    Mom: What's the name of the town where Sarah Palin's pregnant teenaged daughter lives?
    Ethan: Oh, teen pregnancy! JUNO!

    So let it be known that my little brother is awesome enough that I felt the need to share this with my flist. Because it's true.

    India's awesome and peaceful America's going to end the world because it likes blowing shit up? Not too far from the truth, but this feels like a bit of a loaded question, to be honest.

    I'd sneak on to a plane to New York, run around the city, play some harmless pranks, break a few minor laws, scare people, see a Broadway show for free (sitting on the edge of the orchestra pit), and then go home.

    How sad that I thought of all this right away.

    This is what happens when Hallie fangirls on her first night of summer vacation. That is all.
