So does that pencil, I bet.

Ugh!

Have you ever had that feeling where everything you want to say is up there in your head but the right words just wont come out?

Yup.

Usually I end up banging my head against the wall or O.Ding on caffeine until they do, but I don't recommend either of those methods.

I just get so frustrated with myself. It's even worse when you're on a deadline. Sometimes I am sure they expect me to pull a hit song out of my ass.. *laughs*

Isn't that what most of the music industry's been doing lately?

Touche.

I'll admit I've written some really bad stuff but I always end up re-writing it and I have to admit it's usually something so much better. But right now I don't think I can even pull one out of my ass.

Well, don't they really depend on you?

I mean, what's the music industry without the music makers?

But what are music makers without people wanting to put their music out there. Like they say, there's always someone willing to take my place.

Troubadours.

So you're a writer too?

In a sense.

*ducks!*

Och, I can see you're a wee bit energetic today.

Be thankful I was holding a pencil and not something heavier..

*notes something about the accent*

You know, you're the secong person I've spoken to with that accent.

Aye, a paperweight would've been quite a bit different.

*blushes a bit* ...ah, that wouldn't have happened to have been a woman? About yay high *holds a hand* brown hair, blue eyes?

I was actually talking about my guitar. Although that usually gets tossed onto the couch.

*notes the blush and smiles* That's her, very pretty woman. Is she your sister..wife..girl?

I would think you'd be afraid to break a guitar, hurlin' it about an such.

*smiles back* ..oh, well she was closely related to me, you might say.

I think I'd cry if I ever hurt my guitar, I've been playing since I was ten and it's my greatest love.

Oh right, well she was really nice to me. *Holds out her hand* I'm Jude Harrison by the way.

If I was ever in love with anything at that age, it was probably my microscope... which I suppose says a lot about me.

*chuckles and shakes her hand* Pleasure to meet you, Jude. I'm Carson.

I'm one of those kids who've known since they were six what they wanted to do. It was when I wrote my first song actually. *smiles* It's says that you're a sceintific man, nothing wrong with that.

*frowns as she shakes his hand* She was called Carson too..

Aye, science is one of the few things in life I've been able to hold onto.

*looks down* It's... a family name.

*nods understanding* People come and go, something like that doesn't. I don't think I would have survived going through what I did had I not had my music.

A family first name? *looks at him a little closer*

I hope that something wasn't too bad?

Och, aye.. how else do you think a name like Willard gets kept around?

There's been a lot of pretty bad things. But I'm still alive right?

I've never really thought about it that way.

Alive is always good, I just hate to see young lives filled with saddness.

Between catching my dad cheating on my mom, my mom walking out on me and my sister, my sister stealing ten thousand dollars off of me, and having my heart broken more than once.

It's hard but at least I have my music.

So do I. What are you working on?

My new song. It's all up in my head but it just wont come out.

Ah. Sometimes I have that problem myself with my research.

*frowns at notebook*

*peeks at his book*

What are you researching?

"Mathematics. Theoretical geometry, to be exact."

Not exactly my strong point. I almost flunked math at school.

Oh! How very dreadful...

It's what you get from spending your time writing songs and not studying.

*laughs*

I suppose so...

...But you probably got more enjoyment out of songwriting.

Not my strong point. I actually almost flunked math at school.
