Month of Nanowrimo - Thesilée

On the internet highway, having not much to do
Surfing facebook and forum, thinking I’ll just pass through
Clicked a link, then another, before to bed I was bound
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I signed up for an account

Picked a name that’s not taken
I heard the „you’ve got mail“ bell
And I was thinking to myself,
»This could be Heaven or this could be Hell.«
Then November the first came, and the forum went nuts
There were novels here and novels there
And I was spilling my guts …

Welcome to the month of Nanowrimo
Such a lovely plot (Such a lovely plot)
Is that all you’ve got?
Fifty-kay words in the month of Nanowrimo
This one time each year (this one time each year)
We’ll be writing here …

My plot is totally twisted, there’s more than thirty lose ends
I’ve got a lot of pretty pretty boys who just want to be friends 🙁
How they camp in the forum, each one’s nursing their thread.
Some, I manage to comment, most oft hem I forget.

So I called up the Admin,
»How can I learn these tricks?«
She said, »We’re doing Nanowrimo here all since two thousand and six.«
And still my protas are calling from far away
Wake me up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say …

Welcome to the month of Nanowrimo
Such a lovely plot (Such a lovely plot)
Is that all you’ve got?
They’re battling it out in the month of Nanowrimo
There’s no time to cry (there’s no time to cry)
Kiss your friends goodbye …

Downtime on the server,
Outside, there’s snow and ice
And they said »We are all just prisoners here, of our own device.«
And over there, in the chatroom,
They gather for a war
They hit their keyboards till their fingers bleed
Then they return for more!

Last thing I remember, I was
shutting down my pc
I had to find the passage back
to when writing didn’t matter for me
»Relax,« said the Admin,
»There’s one thing you should hear.
You can log-out any time you like,
But you’ll be back next year.«
