Filkin’ around: Weird-shaped map

Since this is my first post originating entirely on my shiny new WordPress blog rather than on MyDDO, I thought I’d do a filk that pretty much sums me up.

I’m not really a huge fan of Nirvana, and this is the first song I’ve done that I don’t know all that well. But I like the creepy guitar riff between the verses, which seems to lend itself to how I feel when I’m wandering around lost in the wilderness.

So Kurt Cobain, I hope you’re resting in your pharmacologically-induced peace, ’cause I just stole “Heart-Shaped Box” and turned it into “Weird-Shaped Map.”

You think I’m kinda crazy ’cause I can’t find
My way around this weird-shaped map, I must be blind
I’ve been walking ’round in circles, then doubling back
Need some more explorers ’cause my map’s still black

Hey! Wait! I think I’m lost again
You got too far ahead and left me behind
Hey! Wait! I think I’m lost again
You got too far ahead and left me behind

Hey! Wait! I think I’m lost again
You got too far ahead and left me behind
Left behind

Searching for the quest entrance so far away
Getting there might take me at least three or four days
Finding where I want to go, it’s so much stress
If only I could craft a shard of improved GPS

Hey! Wait! I think I’m lost again
You got too far ahead and left me behind
Hey! Wait! I think I’m lost again
You got too far ahead and left me behind

Hey! Wait! I think I’m lost again
You got too far ahead and left me behind
Left behind

You think I’m kinda crazy ’cause I can’t find
My way around this weird-shaped map, I must be blind
I’ve been walking ’round in circles, then doubling back
Need some more explorers ’cause my map’s still black

Hey! Wait! I think I’m lost again
You got too far ahead and left me behind
Hey! Wait! I think I’m lost again
You got too far ahead and left me behind

Hey! Wait! I think I’m lost again
You got too far ahead and left me behind
Left behind, left behind, left behind

March Madness will return soon, I promise. With a spreadsheet, even! I know some of the text in the imported posts from MyDDO is hard to read; I’ll be going through as time permits and changing the colors to make them more readable.

Hope to see some MyDDO refugees over here, and welcome to any new readers. 🙂
