I just remembered a post Achilles. made and it struck me because it's exactly how I feel. I don't know if I should be specific on details and risk it losing it's universality, or general and risk having it lose the personal touch. Maybe a weird bastardization of both, and risk it being neither universal nor personal.
At the same time, I really can't write something personal when I feel no personal attachment to it.
Wow. At least there's only like 2 challenges left before the real Top 10. If I can manage to float my way through those, I can exit the game with an unbroken Top 10 streak, but there's not much fat left to be deleted...well none, really. I can't afford to lazily throw something together and expect a Top 10. I mean, last round literally clocks that statement, but at least I had a prompt I could actually follow for that challenge.
I should probably go to sleep, but I never feel like going to sleep until I have something I can work with as far as an entry goes, but unless I exact revenge on someone before I go to bed, I have nothing.
I wonder how a well-written song that doesn't fit my prompt at all would fare. Like, would I get docked so bad that I get eliminated, or would the judges appreciate the song enough to give it some brownie points, even though it doesn't fit the theme.
Or maybe what I have now would be enough to let me scrape by, but I sincerely doubt it. Not that I want to scrape by anyway. It gets continually harder to scrape by with every round, seeing as a low score supported by a good average eventually turns into a good score hindered by a low average. That seems to be what it will come to, as I consistently get challenges I, for the life of me, feel unable to do.
Maybe if I spent more time getting revenge on people and less time ranting on forums, I'd have material to write a revenge song for, and wouldn't feel like getting the metaphorical noose out and committing metaphorical suicide.
In short, it's another bad week for me. I feel bad for the judges having to suffer through it.
