Same here
I tend to write crappy stories etc and keep it on my computer rather than post it out in the world, its a good creative outlet! :D

Nope yours are probably good
mine are crappy but I bask in their crappy glory!

nah
mine are relatively crappy but you're your own worst critic so you probably have good stories.

sounds like the plot of an episode of Dangermouse

Maybe I had watched too much Dangermouse
and it made my brain think gnomes was a good book idea!! :S

Daaangermoooooouse
That's you. To me, you'll always be Dangermouse.

YAY!
As a kid I was called Dangermouse by my little friends because my initials are DM! :D

when Mrs V first met my friends it was at a fancy dress party
I had pretty much insisted she dress as Dangermouse.

It went down well.

I was dressed as a vicar.

That's how my friend's mum was dressed
when she met her future son-in-law for the first time.

Dangermouse
is an excellent fancy dress costume. I had an argument with DiT last Halloween as I wanted to go to a party dressed as DM and I wanted him to go as Penfold... he got angry and said he was Dangermouse... as a compromise I went as a bee and he went as a Viking.

I can imagine him getting angry about that

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 15:37, Reply)

I suppose its understandable
no one really wants to be Penfold... no one really wants to be Robin either... why be the shit sidekick when you can go for glory as the main dooood!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Wed 9 Dec 2009, 15:40, Reply)

we had a hamster called Penfold, way back in t'80s

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 15:42, Reply)

But he would be a good Penfold and you would be a good DM
We can't always have our druthers. Put your foot down.
I'll tell him when I see him.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 15:40, Reply)

Hehehe careful now
He really doesn't want to be Penfold! Hehe

Husband and wife are seperated, rich, he lives elsewhere but he's still paying for everything: kids, clothes, cars, house.
so he moves back in, not wanting to pay for seperate housing
fighting ensues
eventually they fall back in love
everyone's happy etc

I see Vince Vaughn
as the male lead in this film! :D

that sounds like my life
minus the wealth and the moving back in bit
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 15:43, Reply)

also, that's not crappy
it's interesting
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 15:09, Reply)

Haha
Thank you, it was silly really. Gnomes meeting tri-annually at an undisclosed location to plot world domination… as you do.

I write crappy songs

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 14:56, Reply)

Hehe me too!
I found a notebook full of my crappy songs the other day, they were terrible! How I laughed!! Hehehe
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Wed 9 Dec 2009, 14:59, Reply)

I think I've written 5maybe 3 good songs in my entire life
The rest make me go red with embarrassment.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 15:10, Reply)

Hehe they're funny.
I love it when you find things you wrote when you were younger and get really embarrassed! Hehe

I've been told my poems seem more like songs
I've tried to actually write a song but they come out terrible
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 15:10, Reply)

My songs are like shit poems

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 15:12, Reply)

I've tried writing lyrics before
and I can't get anywhere with it. my brain won't accept anything other than lyrical perfection, and yet is unable to provide it.

I stick to music instead
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 15:12, Reply)

I'm better at lyrics than bloody music
If someone writes chords I can be interesting with melody and lyrics, but actually writing a song from nothing I CAN'T DO.
My ex is a prize nutter and it's such a shame because we wrote ace stuff and even won a couple of songwriting things in local clubs. We had very few friends so it was genuine recognition!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 15:15, Reply)

does fucking about with ReBirth and a midi controller
count as making music? if it does, then i have 'made music'. Just jam for a while, loading in drum patterns, 303 melodies/squeals etc, then press record and start the ball rolling. It's excellent fun, however, the results can sound a tad repetative and samey, but sometimes dance music IS like that.

Then I think about knocking out one of those crappy hard house tracks, with the constant 4x4, cymbals and snare, fire in a 'soaring' female vocal, get the chipmunk filter onto it and thats it, job done!.
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 16:01, Reply)

same here
without the music - I've only ever made up riffs and soloed. The idea of a properly-structured song makes my head hurt. Hell, I'm impressed by The Ramones...
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 15:18, Reply)

the few actual songs I've come up with have been quite nice
none recorded unfortunately, but mostly I make up second guitar parts, and solo while making faces
