Oh man. See, I pretty much always can figure out what I was writing about, even if it's the stuff I write just before I pass out drunk.
A Friend, Reading From My Notebook: "'Chicken Wheel'? And then the lyrics to a Dusty Springfield song?" Me: "Oh, well, you see..."
My problem is that I've been carrying around a notebook all the damn time for about 10 years now, and I...am not an organized person. Nor am I particularly diligent about typing stories up and putting them into a form that makes sense to anyone but myself. So at the moment I'm packing up all my stuff and I swear to God I've got eighteen notebooks and about 7 pounds of loose papers previously torn out of said notebooks. *facepalm*
Every now and then I do come across notes for story ideas that I obviously thought were hysterical back in the day and now make me boggle.
Children's picture book: "You Are Special!" Fairytale giant's mother telling him how much she cherishes each and everything he does, e.g. raiding villages, stomping heroes, etc. Grendel? Reread "Gargantua."
or
Story about the sekkrit history of the Dashwood family from "Sense and Sensibility" - their connection to Sir Francis Dashwood and the Hell-Fire Club.
I just don't know.
At any rate, that scene you transcribed is really adorable in an Indiana Jones or possibly Pirates of the Caribbean kind of way, and whether you figure out its original significance you should definitely find something to do with it. ^_^
