Had an idea or two...

[Jorlem]

You mind if I join in?  A while back, I had an idea for a Haruhi AMV using Rich Fantasy Lives by Tom Smith and Rob Balder.  Nothing really came of it, since I have no idea how to go about putting one together.

That waitress at Pete's who took so long to seat

you,

And left you to stand in the doorway,

With her stringy red hair and her thousand-yard stare,

In her mind, she's the Princess of Norway.

As she takes down your order, she's crossing the

fjord, her

White stallion spits foam like a madman.

Many Vikings have died trying to take her as bride,

But her heart is reserved for a bad man.
Rich fantasy lives.

Somehow she survives in a world she contrives.

Inhibited husbands and frustrated wives

Lead rich fantasy lives.

That guy from IT ressurects your PC

With a boredom he barely suppresses.

Though he rarely converses, he has more universes

In his head than you've got addresses.

He wargames through weekends, leads armies and legions.

He doesn't care how well you putted.

He's browsing reality's infinite palette, he's

Seen yours, and yours doesn't cut it.

Rich fantasy lives.

He quietly thrives in a world he contrives.

Techno-drone insects in cubicle hives

Lead rich fantasy lives.

We're piling up fears, but we're out of frontiers.

Some need to escape, but there's nowhere.

Can't go to the Moon, at least any time soon,

But an inner-space trip costs you no fare.

So don't be unkind to a wandering mind,

Just say it again if we missed it.

Some whispering poem was calling us home

To a place we know never existed.
Rich fantasy lives.

Our peace-bonded knives and our hyperspace drives.

Until that steam engine to Hogwarts arrives,

We have rich fantasy lives.
Rich fantasy lives.

Our quests and our tribes and our Babylon Fives.

Until something better than this world arrives,

We'll lead rich fantasy lives.

Rich fantasy lives.

Verses one and two would have had a bunch of stuff with Mikuru, mostly from the festival movie and the restaurant at the festival.  The verses about 'That guy from I.T.', I was thinking about focusing mainly on the computer club and the episode "The Day of Sagittarius."  For the last few lines, I remember wanting to draw from the last part of Melancholy, when the world is on the verge of being remade. For the 'inner-space trip' line, I know I wanted the bit from the theme where it zooms into the starfield in Haruhi's eye.   I know I had some other ideas for what would go with which line, but I can't remember what they were, and no longer have the few notes I took before I realized there was no way I could do this.
