Snape lyrics.

Something a lot of people do: imagine pictures alongside music. I usually daydream at work or while driving, and sometimes I amass quite a few songs that I will string together to form a narrative of a particular plot/set of characters. I have a tape I made years ago of music that really seemed to me to be about Ardeth Bay from the Mummy. I also have a few CDs full of music that inspires different Superspy daydreams.

During my many hours spent driving in the last few weeks I've become aware of several songs or bits of lyrics that really express something Severus-like to me...thought I'd share a few. I'd love to hear which lyrics you've heard that seem to be connected to Snape in your head.

"Firefly", Breaking Benjamin (album: We Are Not Alone)
Bring me your enemies, lay them before me, and walk away...walk away..."

I love this line. I have, over the years, put together a few different Snapes in my head, and one of my favorite Snapes is the dark, brooding, possessive, full Death Eater Snape. I mean full as in loyal Death Eater, out there with the others, not back doing "potions research" in a bunker/lab. I can imagine him consumed with someone, fully and totally obsessed, and willing to do anything for them, willing to crush anyone who gets in their way.

Had one of those days

Spent most of it at a party for a couple's sixtieth anniversary. Got to see gypsyjolie, which was incredibly awesome! She's so smart and funny...we had a very good time. I was very glad to see her. One of those weird stories...I've only met her in RL a few times, liked her, but until LJ we didn't really know each other that well. Anyway, it was great to have a chance to hang out with her.

I am feeling really odd, though, kind of loopy and nauseated, and really, really out of it. I wonder if I have a touch of food poisoning.

I have started chapter 67 (FINALLY!) and I am very happy about that.

Had a bit of a conversation with virtual_gravy, he of the magical lens, and we talked about how you should follow your talent/what makes you happy/creative work. I hope I can do that. I really hope I can.
