Apparently, Blue October is my own personal muse. I finally started writing part 2 of A Tale of Misery after listening to their song Kangaroo Cry. And then I realized that the only other song I'd heard from them- which I can't remember the name of- is what started the first part, even though I'd only heard it once, months before. So, I might have finally found my muse. Huh. I'm gonna have to listen to more of their stuff sometime...
