Man, I always want to write fic when I'm supposed to be writing, you know, a paper for class. (It would probably help if I wasn't listening to music that is coded to Narnia in my head. I'm not even coherent on what I want to write right now, aside from the always general, "Wow, I wish I could get FREAKING DUST 21 DONE." Well, and last night I was reading about neighborhoods in ancient Rome and started itching to get back to the gangs of Cair Paravel subplot in Dust part two, but that was last night and ancient Rome! Now I'm onto the Aeneid and the Iliad.)

This paper would go a lot easier if I didn't keep getting distracted. Also if I had a better idea of what I was writing about. I think I get worse at Tetris every time I pull it up.

*pauses* I need peppy music that is not something I mentally vid, because with some of my music I just have it down in my head and then I get really distracted. (Seriously, like, the entirety of Mainstream is vidded to canon footage. In my head, of course. And then I start getting worried about how screwed up my vision of Narnia is and then I get even more distracted, and so on and so forth...)

I am wondering how ancient Rome = Gangs of Cair Paravel.

I have some peppy music here! "Build Me Up Buttercup" is EXTREMELY peppy. :D Also, click the Rocktober tag for more pep.

I was reading something about the definition of neighborhoods in modern times and how it might relate to neighborhoods in ancient Rome? Which means I started thinking about the neighborhoods in Cair Paravle, and how they might have gotten their boundaries and names, and then a little bit about how that ties into the gangs that rule each neighborhood...

Oooh, and today I was thinking about human sacrifice! (Specifically, we were talking about it in Carthage and Rome, and then I started thinking about Dust. Look, a good 75% of Dust is inspired by the classical world in one way or another, sooner or later we WILL get the Narnian version of the Battle of Thermopylae, that part's been plotted out since, oh god, freshman year of university.)
