DOWNLOAD: Beethoven's Last Night

There is some hilarity that like the past six entries in a row on my flist have been that RP Love Meme. You guys are all wonderful and lovely, only I haven't actually interacted with like 90% of you in an RP context. BY DECLARATION OF ME YOU ARE ALL FANTASTIC. o/ I hope I have not disappointed anyone with my super-amateur ways. o/ I feel like the only thing I could ever hope to brag about is my writing, so really, the fanfic love meme is the way for me to go! \o/;; THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO REPLIED, I will be grateful and small and maybe-cute at you when I catch up with my life. ♥♥♥

Moving on -- sharing is caring, folks! Today I have done two hours of overtime (because a senior on my time siddled up to me as he was leaving and was like "so I hear there is a new video game you want to buy :)" and I went ORZ OKAY), I have grapes (this obviously = awesome, and you can never tell me otherwise) as well as chocolate cereal (I had the most terrible craving for it last night, going :( at the roommate-thingit a lot) and. Okay!

Show of hands, who likes classical music? I like classical music! But I'm also uncultured and I think that classical music can be improved by the addition of electric guitars. (Don't look at me like that.) TO ANSWER THIS, there is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and their story-album, "Beethoven's Last Night." Check out the official website for a transcription of the story as it comes in the CD's booklet, which essentially fills in the gaps between songs, as well as the lyrics themselves. It's sort of like "It's A Wonderful Life," only with famous old composers and less of the "if you weren't here" and more of the "if you didn't have x, xx, or xxx happen to you" and Beethoven's about to die anyway so -- actually, it's not that much like "It's A Wonderful Life" after all. But it's still fun!

Also, I am a terrible, terrible fangirl (no, really) and I songcall these for a bunch of these for unrelated characters/series/what-have-yous. (I know there are people out there who like Vagrant Story on my flist; plz to listen to "The Dark" and come back to tell me the tale.) You will probably recognize large parts of the music, but me, I think that's part of the fun! I love Trans-Siberan Orchestra, guys. I'm still bitter about the year I missed them twice because they came to my other city just after I left it. :(

THIS TIME, unlike the last, I remembered to zip the file! Go me! o/

Please let me know if you download this! This is totally invitation to spam me with your thoughts/opinions on the CD, guys, I've loved this thing for a long time and I want to fangirl it with someone! YOUR CHARACTER ASSOCIATIONS, TELL THEM TO ME.

DOWNLOAD BEETHOVEN'S LAST NIGHT.

FOR BONUS SHARING, because I was trying to figure out how to get my webcam set up (bought by the parents, whose logic can be summed up as It Is Not Acceptable That We Go Almost Two Years Without Seeing Our Daughter's Face And This Will Tide Us Over Until You Come Home Back To Austin), I took a really hideous picture but super up-to-date of me! Taken just this morning! This is what I look like literally five minutes after I wake up, folks (though usually in the day, I'm like 8] instead if >___>). Plz don't laugh too much. :(

FINALLY: Man, what writing does to my internal moral compass. There is so much that I write that I would not condone or approve or be happy with AT ALL if it were real, but in fiction, I'm like "hurr hurr hurr duuuuu eet" at myself. Sigh, what happened to my innocence? I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE PUT UP MORE OF A FIGHT THAN I ULTIMATELY DID.

... just download the CD, guys, and come back and talk to me. o/;;
