Christmas Song + Deadlines = Oh Noes!

Was just recently informed that I have a little over a week to write a holiday-themed song. If you know me, then you also know that this may just kill me.

I wrote my very first song a while back (maybe a month or so ago) and it took a week to get lyrics and a melody. I am STILL trying to figure out the guitar part and it's been WEEKS (although, I think I came up with something the other day that will entail lots of practice over winter break).

Since I usually am more creatively productive while I'm writing on here, I figured I'd give the lyrics a shot and work with what I get.

I want it to be about Nerdfighters at Christmastime...so, here goes...

Sitting by the empty fireplace
All Caps CD still in its case
It's December again, you see
Like every year, I'm lonely
No one to be in nerdfighterlike with
That doesn't matter when I see my gift

You might think it's weird
You might think it's strange
But lemme tell you,
There's nothing better than
A Nerdfighter Christmas

Popcorn reading of Paper Towns
Discussing politics of Watership Downs
Chewbacca hanging from my tree
The troll atop is a mystery
And with all of this
Comes loads of nerdy bliss

You might think it's weird
You might think it's strange
But lemme tell you,
There's nothing better than
A Nerdfighter Christmas

I'll never be alone again
Not when I've got the internet
YouTube let's me see all my friends
And those I stalk (though they don't know it yet)
I can visit Pennsylvania
And still be in California

This is my Nerdfighter Christmas song
To let you know I've missed you all along
In reality, this was a challenge
I'll instead turn it into a pledge
With love to ya'll I say:
I'll never FTBA!

You might think it's weird
You might think it's strange
But for Nerdfighters at Christmas
It's just another day.
