That Moment...

That moment when you watch Vikings and realize it's basically Game of Thrones set in Viking times from the perspective of Vikings. And you love it.

 

That Moment When: After reviewing, a cache of poetry, you wonder if it's possible to be sane and be in possession of that many linear narratives at the same time...

 

TMW you look up to see how realistic and accurate Vikings is to fuel your suspension of disbelief when... Crap, well that's what I get for hoping on the History Channel.

 

TMW you put aside your plans for a novel in favor of a short story cycle and then your concept of the short story cycle slowly morphs back into that of a novel.

 

TMW...

you decide, 'Eh, at least it's not some stupid reality show about lumberjacks or trucks rolling across the ice, or the tenth-millionth documentary about Hitler and Nazi Germany.' I'll take a fictional drama about Vikings any day. At least it relates to *gasp* history and *gasp* not just about Hitler and Nazi Germany! *gaspgaspgasp*

 

TMW you realize that the same band who released Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets as their second and third albums made St. Anger.

 

I like the song St. Anger!


That moment you realize that your posts aren't as good as you think they are.

 

That moment when writing up a personal review on a book you're reading is making you want to run to the library to read more books.

 

TMW you realize that the first and second writing forums you joined aren't as good as the third one you found.....

seriously, you guys are really helpful and I have my TMW daily

 

TMW you realize what an ungodly amount of music Front Line Assembly has released.

 

That moment when you find a name for your antagonist and immediately fall in love with how elegantly bad he is, yet he's not some flat, one-dimensional cat-and-mustache stroking villain.

 

TMW you accidentally eat a few pieces of honeydew melon with mold on them.

 

The Moment when you desperately try to edit your post and the internet starts to lag.

 

That moment when you come return to something you left years ago.

 

That moment when your Golden Orb pal walks in from the distorting heat of the desert, solidifying from fantom into water into solid into man.

 

That moment when you're sure you see someone you know and it's... oh, nevermind.

 

TMW you realize that after all this time you actually write much more productively without music.

 

TMW your teacher says there's a good chance that HIV doesn't actually cause AIDS.

His position of authority is going to make a lot of people take him at face value.

 

That moment when you realize that you have been staring at the forum screen for about fifteen minutes, thinking of absolutely nothing.

 

I know that feeling well, and I hate it.

 

That moment when you read the word 'alert' and pretend you're in a malfunctioning vessel

 

TMW you listen to some Korn and Slipknot and you realize that Linkin Park's first two albums suddenly don't sound so emo anymore.

 

TMW people use words like Korn and Slipknot and Linkin Park and emo, and you only have the vaguest idea of what they're talking about. Especially Slipknot. I have no idea what that is. I assume it's a band, but really, who cares?

 

That moment when people start spoiling something that you haven't watched yet.

 

That moment when you want to encourage people to watch a movie and don't spoil the good bits
