Good Friday, Everyone
Well..I had a picture for you all, but for some reason it won’t let me load it. Darn. Guess I have to save it for later. 🙂First of all, fun and safe trip to Paige and Mr. B as they head down to Costa Rica for a week of relaxing in the sun..without kids. 🙂 Don’t think of us or worry about anything. Just release all that stress and enjoy. We’ll be thinking of you.
Second of all, y’all know I usually pick songs to go with my stories. Sort of like theme songs, I guess. I finally came up with two for Angel’s Seduction. They’re both from one of my all-time favorite movies, Brokeback Mountain.
The first is A Love That Will Never Grow Old by EmmyLou Harris:
Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true
Just lay back in my arms for one more night
I’ve this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes
Saying this one’s the love of your life.
Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.
When you wake up the world may have changed
But trust in me, I’ll never falter or fail
Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night,
And your laughter’s like wind in my sails.
Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we’re wrong.
This entire song fits the story, but especially the last line.
The second song is The Maker Makes by Rufus Wainwright
One more chain I break
To get me closer to you,
One more chain does the maker make
To keep me from busting through
One more notch I scratch
To keep me thinkin’ of you,
One more notch does the maker make
Upon my face so blue
Get along, little doggies
Get along, little doggies
One more smile I fake
And try my best to be glad,
One more smile does the maker make,
Because he knows I’m sad
Oh Lord, how I know
Oh Lord, how I see
That only can the maker make
A happy man of me
Get along, little doggies
Get along, little doggies
Get along
I think this song represents the trials Angel is going to go through while trying to be free of his father’s abuse and society. 🙂
Last of all, I started writing Part Seventeen of Angel’s Seduction and I’m happy to report there’s not aborted love-making. Things get hot and heavy between our hero and his love. 🙂
Have a great day, everyone.

Ana,
Thanks. They’re pics I’ve found over the years and some that friends have sent me. 🙂 I think they add a nice touch to the posts, don’t you?
I LOVE the pictures you post. Are they your personal library or do you get them somewhere *eager smile*
Ana M.
S.W. Rent it and then come tell me how you felt about it.
I don’t understand the whole ‘gay’ movie tag it got because imo, it transcended ‘gay’ and moved right into being a classic love story about two people who loved each other, even if it wasn’t ‘right’ or ‘proper’ for them to.
It proves my theory that it doesn’t matter if the person you love is the same sex as you…you will love who you love and nothing is wrong with it. (soulmates and all of that) 🙂
I have GOT to see this movie. That’s it; I’m renting it tonight.
