So, I'm nearly done with chapter 48 of this Community fanfic I've been writing. Since June 12, apparently. (I just checked because I couldn't remember.)

I desperately want to finish it this coming weekend, because I want to move onto something else.

But also because I feel that it has become irrelevant because it is so entirely AU at this point it's not even remotely amusing.

It's also partly me being worried about being irrelevant, which comes from two years of having it drummed into me in my journalism classes that timeliness is key.

Part of it is also me being (perhaps wrongly & insecurely) concerned that there's only a small group of people still reading this insane piece of melodramatic shit.

I am, however, determined to finish this damn thing because I need to prove to myself that I can finish this. I practically never start anything this big (if I'm not being paid for it), and I've certainly never finished any of the stalled novels I have in notebooks and floppy disks.

I almost regret falling in love with this show & becoming active in the fandom.

I really liked the song. The band in general seem to be pretty awesome. I heard an interview with one of the band members late on Monday night when I was coming home from work and he was just saying how girls have been hitting on him non-stop at shows, it was kinda funny.

I like both the acoustic live version and the studio version. For me the acoustic version wins out. It's got a rawness and edge to the performance, that has been taken away by layers of studio trickery. It'll be a tough decision for you to make though.

On a sort of related note, I really like the lead singer's haircut and the female drummer is awesome. Rock music is such a misogynistic wasteland at the moment (Nickelback, anyone?), so it's great to see a girl rocking out in a band.

I follow the band on Twitter, and apparently they did a show in the last few weeks where a pregnant lady flashed him. :7 I read that tweet & was all, "So...the lead singer is this woman's back up in case it doesn't work out with the baby daddy?"

Exactly: That's what I love about the acoustic version. It has a quality that's absent from the fully produced version.

Yeah. It's awesome to see a girl drummer. Oh, for the days of Sleater Kinney & when Rilo Kiley was still fun.
