So, NaNoWriMo '05 is just about a month away. I've had this novel idea kicking around in my head since about February. I had a few false starts and then gave it up, leaving it to percolate in the back of my brain. Several months have passed, and I still want to write it. I am taking this as a good sign.

I am hoping that some of you guys can help me out, though. The main theme of the novel is isolation - pure, soul-numbing, psychosis-inducing isolation. Yeah. Going for a really fun, light-hearted theme, here. I am looking for help in finding songs, poems, paintings, tv shows, movies, etc - anything 'pop culture' - that provides a good illustration of isolation (social, physical, mental). Not for me to read and get inspiration from (I'm pulling a great deal from my own feelings during depressive episodes for that), but for the character to quote and/or reference, and/or to be 'playing in the background'. Obscure is just fine.

Thanks.
