IDK if it's just that I'm a desert rat but like. I can't just walk out into the woods. honestly i can't even walk into a field because i don't want lyme disease. I'm okay with trails but all those books as a child would talk about raw dogging the forest in shorts!! There Are Spiders In There no thank you. Have i gone into the desert, stepped on a cactus, got stung by a bee in my toe, got thrown off my atv and went flying, got stuck in sand dunes multiple times? Yes absolutely. Did my grandpa break his ribs doing the exact same atv desert shit? Yes absolutely. Did my grandpa tear up his foot by running it over with his own truck 15 miles deep into the desert on an abandoned gravel road with temps in the hundreds and no water? Yeah completely. But could we step off the trail in an Oregon National Park? No of course not there might be a 3 centimeter long tick; that's terrifying.

Writing of Speak Now

Rampant speculation warning! Since Speak Now was basically a solo project, there aren't any other songwriters to spill the beans on the songwriting process, so most of this is inference and/or rampant speculation. Don't take this as being 100% factual. There are also some details about her personal life in this account, which I recognize is not warmly received by all, so do avert your eyes if you don't.

The years that each song was written are plucked from the US Copyright Office, so at least they should be accurate.

Often-used sources: @tswiftmyspace, @10yearsoftaylor

31 October 2006: Taylor opens for Jake Owen in Portland, Oregon at a bar.

2 November 2006: Taylor writes Sparks Fly.

The above message seems to have been posted by Steve of the IC, who despite his many flaws is generally a pretty accurate source.

On 13 June 2010, Taylor would hold a 13-hour meet and greet at the CMA Fest, where she would be pestered by fans to include Sparks Fly on her next album.

October 2008: Joe Jonas breaks up with Taylor over a 27-second phone call.

8 March 2009: John Mayer tweets about wanting Taylor to sing on his song Half Of My Heart. Taylor happily agrees.

April 2009: Taylor writes If This Was A Movie with Martin Johnson.

Not much proof for this date aside for the "six months gone and I'm still reaching" line. Since the copyright file gives a creation date of 2009, this song could only be about Joe Jonas.

This song could have also been one of the songs she recorded on March 19th or the songs she wrote "a few weeks before" May 29th.

Either way, I still think it's more likely that If This Was A Movie was the first song written for Speak Now, according to her account of the songwriting process for the album, where she gradually gave up on making cowrites.

24 April 2009: Taylor writes Haunted.

Speculation: here Taylor said she got the idea for a song "at 3:00 a.m. in Arkansas". I think this is Haunted, as she also explicitly said elsewhere that she "ended up waking up in the middle of the night writing this song about it".

Taylor performed in Jonesboro, AR on thid day on the Fearless tour.

22 May 2009: John Mayer makes a surprise appearance on the Fearless tour, where he and Taylor perform White Horse and Your Body Is A Wonderland. Superman is possibly written about this encounter.

Taylor said this about Superman before the one time she played it live:

This is about, well, a guy, as usual. And this was a guy that I was sort of enamoured with, as usual. The song actually got its title by something that I just said randomly in conversation. He had walked out of the room, when I looked over at one of my friends and I said, "Man, it's just like watching Superman fly away."

Since Superman is obviously about John Mayer (for example, its lyrics are the secret message for Dear John), this was probably an interaction with John backstage on this day, where her friends would be there (not so for the other interactions they had in December).

Also, Superman was registered with Better Than Revenge, Last Kiss and Mr. Perfectly Fine in the Sony/ATV catalogue, which points to a creation date of early 2009.

I also don't like the implications of them singing Your Body Is A Wonderland at all.

23 May 2009: John Mayer tweets a picture of Taylor. They were likely recording Half Of My Heart.

Thanks to this masterpost by @silkchifffon!

30 May 2009: Taylor records some songs she wrote a few weeks before. One of these might be Last Kiss.

Not much proof for this date, just that I don't think if she had been aggravated by Much Better already, she wouldn't be writing Last Kiss.

12 June 2009: Much Better by the Jonas Brothers is released. It includes a not-very-subtle reference to Taylor Swift.

1 July 2009: Taylor is "recording a bunch of new songs". One of these might be Better Than Revenge, which would mean the song was written in June 2009.

Better Than Revenge references Much Better, but also claims that Camilla still "has him", which means it was written before the two broke up, which was reported on July 27th. Therefore, Better Than Revenge must have been written between June 12th and July 27th.

30 July 2009: Taylor (Swift) meets Taylor (Lautner) on the set of Valentine's Day.

August 2009: Taylor writes Never Grow Up.

The content of the song suggests that this song is about her first night in her self-bought Nashville condo (NOT the house she used for secret sessions, which was bought in 2010). According to public records, she bought this apartment on August 6th, so she probably spent a night there in the same month between her Omaha performance on the 9th and leaving for London on the 19th.

The secret message suggests she moved out in July, which I think means that she "officially" moved out and stopped living with her parents in July 2010. This could be because her condo was still under renovation as late as the May 2010 Vogue issue.

13 September 2009: Just guess.

15 September 2009: Taylor attends an Adam Young concert in New York City. That night she writes Enchanted in her hotel room.

For extra proof, compare the dress she wears in these candids and the one she wears in Adam Young's (in)famous Tumblr post.

Early December 2009: Taylor writes Ours shortly before her 20th birthday.

11th December 2009: Taylor performs Half Of My Heart with John Mayer at the Z100 Jingle Ball. Rumours of her dating John start to circulate after this.

13th December 2009: Taylor (Swift) turns 20. Taylor (Lautner) attends her birthday party and gets dumped shortly after.

Early January 2010: Taylor records some songs again. One of these might be Speak Now.

This obviously relies on the common theory that Speak Now is about Hayley Williams watching her ex-boyfriend Josh Farro get married, so obviously if that's wrong this entire section is wrong too.

Hayley and Taylor were hanging out a lot in late 2009/early January, one instance of which is seen in the linked Myspace post above. I think Hayley told Taylor about Josh Farro marrying someone else during this period.

26th January 2010: Taylor is photographed leaving John Mayer's show.

I personally think they broke up shortly after this (IIRC they weren't even photographed together afterwards until the CMT Music Awards), especially as the February 13th Lover Journal entry kind of implies she wasn't seeing anyone at the time. But that's for another thread.

28th January 2010: Taylor is seen with Cory Monteith for the first time.

31st January 2010: Taylor wins Album of the Year at the Grammys for Fearless. She duets with Stevie Nicks and is widely panned.

1st February 2010: Bob Lefsetz reviews her Grammys performance.

11th February 2010: Taylor (Lautner)'s birthday passes and Taylor (Swift) doesn't call.

22nd February 2010: "I've been writing a lot of songs." Some of these might have been Mean and Dear John.

This placement is mainly because after Scott Borchetta heard Mine he told her to write more songs like that, saying that she had found "true north" with the song (see below). Dear John and Mean are clearly not like Mine so they probably came before that encounter.

Scott Borchetta was out defending Taylor on February 4th, which probably points to the writing of Mean around this time.

The timing of Dear John obviously depends on when she broke up with John Mayer, so your mileage might vary. (I am partial to this timing though, as this would mean that she came up with Dear John on tour, which might remind people of another track 5.) I think that she had broken up with him by February 13th, however, due to the Lover Journal entry where she's waiting for someone amazing to come into her life.

Late February 2010: Taylor writes Mine and plays it to Scott Borchetta, who loves the song.

Taylor was in Australia on February 3rd and returned on the 22nd, so she probably played Mine for Scott Borchetta late in the month.

March 2010: Taylor finishes Innocent.

According to this article, it took six months for Taylor to write a response to the VMA incident. This article also mentions that Innocent was written between February and June, so it checks out.

Late March/Early April 2010: Taylor writes Back To December.

More rampant speculation: here Taylor says the first verse was based on an actual conversion, so Taylor (Lautner) did make time to see her. I suspect that was on March 24th, when they had a lunch date in Beverly Hills. So she probably wrote Back To December shortly after that day when that memory was still fresh.

3 April 2010: Josh Farro and Jenna Rice get married. Taylor is in attendance.

13 April 2010: [Lover Journal] Scott Borchetta rejects the idea of using Enchanted as the album title. Taylor picks Speak Now instead.

5 June 2010: Taylor performs her last Fearless Tour show at the Gilette Stadium. That night she writes Long Live.

Speculation: I think this was the song she conceived of at midnight in Boston.

Fun fact! Long Live was originally going to have the subtitle We Will Be Remembered.

9 June 2010: Taylor runs into John Mayer at the CMT Music Awards. That night she pens the first line of The Story Of Us.

16 June 2010: [Lover Journal] Taylor finishes The Story Of Us.

15 July 2010: Taylor records the strings for Back To December and Haunted at Capital Studios, arranged by Paul Buckmaster. [credit: @taylor-on-your-dash]

For proof, compare the dress she wears in these candids and the one she wears in the NBC Thanksgiving Special while recording Haunted.

25 October 2010: Speak Now is released.

Oregon Dunes

The western Sahara Desert has an average high temperatures of 120°F, annual rainfall of 4 inches, and sand dunes. Death Valley, California, has an average temperatures of 120°F, annual rainfall of 1.7 inches, and sand dunes. Florence, near the Oregon coast, has an average high temperature of 75°F, annual rainfall of more than 156 inches, and . . . sand dunes. Lots of sand dunes.

The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area extends from Florence to Coos Bay, nearly forty miles along the Oregon coast. These constitute the longest stretch of coastal dunes in the United States. They prove that it is not temperature and rainfall that makes sand dunes; it is wind, sand, and time.

About six thousand years ago, the present Oregon coastline stabilized, more or less, as did most of the weather patterns we see today. For thousands of years winds blew sands from the beaches upward, five hundred feet above sea level, to rest on a sandstone rock formation, where the sand began to pile up. Once there, it was contained by the mountains east of and above the sandstone bedrock. Unlike many other sand dune formations, where the winds have been steady and generally from one direction, the Oregon dunes are as ever changing as the winds.

The summer winds along that portion of the coast are from the north and average 12-16 miles per hour in summer. The winter winds come from the south, with varying force, though they can reach 100 miles per hour during storms. The winds reshape the dunes from season to season. In addition to wind action, the heavy rainfall along the coast affects the dunes in many ways. There are several lakes within the dunes; some of them silt up, and others form when rainwater fills depressions in the dunes. In some places, there are marshes and quicksand.

That changing landscape is part of the reason why some people visit the dunes. The many tour companies lining the Coast Highway give guided tours of the dunes and rent various kinds of ATVs to tourists. Yet, every year, just as sure as the tourists come to see the dunes, the tour companies and the government save many tourists and their equipment from quicksand and other natural obstacles.

[glngrbred]

There are these sand dune in Oregon

pretty sure this is a pic of them? IDK but my family went there when I was just beginning to understand what a homosexual was and I swear to you, there was absolutely no one around my family, but we were watching these idiots hurt themselves on quad bikes or ATVs or something, and this guy in motocross gear shoulder checked me at some point? anyways I got hard because hot guy in leather, and then realised I was gay, and my literal first reaction was "OMG how do they all know Im gay?" Like I hadn't just figured it out and for some reason I thought everyone was suspicious, like I was a catholic youth pastor who went to rock concerts.

Anyways, turns out Im TANS not gay, so I was wrong in more than 2 ways that day.

Gay pride!

from Audubon:

Replicating a Census from the Past to Protect Shorebirds of the Future

Thirty years later surveying methods haven’t changed, but have the shorebirds we’re counting?

"Another hundred or so volunteers spread across the 1700 square miles of Great Salt Lake and its associated wetlands, walking the shoreline while keeping track of every shorebird, not just Snowy Plovers. Along with them, numerous biologists from the Utah Division of Natural Resources and other state and federal agencies traverse the shoreline on ATVs, boats, and even by plane. Beyond Great Salt Lake, shorebird surveys are also happening at Salton Sea in California, Lake Abert in Oregon, the Lahontan Wetlands in Nevada, and more than 200 other sites throughout the Great Basin.   

Thirty years prior, a nearly identical scene was playing out."

Today at jets pizza i walked in with a nicotine migraine half-high as hell and saw somebody trans w two eyebrow piercings working and they froze in their tracks when they saw me and said Sorry I love your hair i was like I love ur eyebrow piercingss and then they kept staring which was too much for my high brain so i got kinda uncomfortable but they apologized again and i ws like it's ok (in my head:Punk recognize punk. gender bender recognize gender bender.) THEN THEY LITERALLY TOOK OFF THE NECKLACE THEY WERE WEARING. SAID THIS IS THE SKIN OF MY SNAkE????/ AND GAVE THE NECKLACE TO MEMEMEEM!!!!!! I ACtually wass lke holy shit i will treasure this actually seriosuly. like u chose the right one cuz i will fucking think thi s is so cool for so long and i was w my family and the second we left the jets they started making transphobic comments (I was like Whelp guess we arent gonna be having the Im Not cis conversation any time soon) Anyway bruh i think their name was Lex / Lux and im wearing the necklace rn it's quite cool it's like embroidery thread but woven w beads w this resin circle at the end where a pendant would be and the snakeskin is in the resin circle (One thing about me is i actually love snake skin and have been talking about it so much. and The other night i literally said I FELT LIKE I WAS MOLTING. ) Skin like a snake.

Yeah that experience was beyond cool not gonna lie i have this fantasy that they immediately recognized i was non binary and thats why they reached out so intimately so quickly Like we literally hugged (I hate hugging strangers esp strangers from jets pizza no offense but who knows what grease Is on that shirt.) But they asked are u a hugger i said fuck it sure Bc like u r cool as fuck like u r cool as fuck. What goes around comes around.I visited KK in the hospital today and gave her this selenite wand ive owned for years, meditated with countless times tripping lsd, used to wave over my friends in louisville/lexington to "cleanse" them and used before countless tarot card readings to prepare, i really cherished this selenite bc selenite is a beautiful crystal to me, but bc of her state of mind idk how much she really cared about the selenite i really really relly hope it didnt seem like i just gave her a fucking rock that shes literally gonna throw away or something bc i didnt even plan fully to give up the selenite i just wanted to bring it with me to the hospital but when i saw her there i was like i just want to show her some love and selenite is the best crydtal id want to have w me in this situation and ive cherished this specific selenite its genuinely been cherished so Here take it Soak up its love and she lowkeyyyy just Put a finger to her lips and shushed me and i was like *Nod* Ok well bye! I thought maybe i made a mistake or something but when this person at jets Also gave me a gift that they themselves had owned/used personally for awhile i was like ITS A CYCLE. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.

This is actually the second time a random stranger ive interacted with has given me a necklace based gift the first one was a crystal wrapped in pink twine that my first piercer ever gave to me at the end of my septum piercing. Idk why im so blessed and lucky to have these things happen to me but i truly believe it's bc certain people in this world can see/sense your souls and values sometimes just by reading ur energy/having an intuition about you bc of how you present yourself and how you speak to people. And i just feel like wow that interaction was profound actually
