I could be really depressing and doom and gloom about certain things (which basically you'd only know about if you know me irl and have heard me bring it up/are my roommate and listened to me spazz on the phone at my parents for the better part of an hour, hahaha. I COULD. But Doom hasn't happened yet, I have alternatives I can look into ... and really, I'm okay. I am also just a worrier with a tendency towards the paranoid who bottles it in -- I AM TRYING TO BE BETTER ABOUT THAT. HENCE THE CALL TO MY PARENTS. (Sometimes I worry that my mom misses me more than she says, because she gets very :( if we don't talk at least twice a week, even if it's only five minutes where I confirm that I am still, in fact, alive, but at the same time she is apparently making friends with ladies in the neighborhood! THEY HAVE A GARDENING CLUB GUYS, i-it's so cute. She was bragging about her lettuces and her lemons and telling me how she gave them to people and got stuff back and. ♥)

Instead I will note (in a kind of orz what) way about how my recent back problems have taken what should be a ten-minute walk to something like twenty, and that's just sad. It's less my back now and more my hips, which I had been warned about, but sheesh. I am entirely too young to be this old. :'( I bought one of those back pillow thingits at Walgreens the other day, and it seems to be helping! Especially when I lean back. I think this office chair was designed for someone taller, because it leans back a lot farther than I like and if I sit properly for back posture my toes pretty much just touch the ground.

Or I could gripe about how the (writing) force is still not with me, and this grieves me terrible. :\ I KEEP TRYING. I KEEP ... NOT MAKING IT. I have a word document that's full of linebreaks and two-line stand-alone paragraphs that make very little sense. I have fantastic images but nothing that connects them together. It saddens me. I DID MANAGE TO FINISH A STORY FOR [livejournal.com profile] imaginarybeasts and I signed up for Yuletide s-so I am taking some heart from that.

... I should write my Yuletide author letter ... I'll do that this weekend.

Also, I like this song more than I really should. It's all -- not really my normal thing (I heard it described as militant-sounding? it fits), but it's been stuck in my head for going on two weeks now, so hopefully someone else will share my pain.

Uhhhh, what else. Man, why am I so boring. I guess if anyone wants me to love on them, they should comment on this post! And because I'm bad at keeping up with this meme on my flist, you can tell me if you love me, too.

OR DON'T LOVE ME, IN INTEREST OF ALL FAIRNESS man, I give up on interesting, I'm going and getting lunch.
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/;;

So, the rip sounds like it's working okay, so woo♥

Presenting the mini CD drama from the special edition of tactics volume 8:

セレブの証!華麗なる仮面舞踏会へようこそ!
(SEREBU no akashi! kareinaru kamen butoukai e youkoso!)
The Proof of Celebrity! Welcome to the Splendid Masked Ball!

Really silly, but it gives Sakata a voice (unfortunately, he mumbles his name so I couldn't quite catch it, though he sounds familiar -- Senpai, maybe you could catch it?), it has Raikou unmercifully hitting on him, Watanabe talking so much he makes people run away, Kantarou and Youko trying to take advantage of the whole "moe" condition, Sugino being directionally challenged, and the forbidden love story of Hasumi Ryoukan and Muu!

...

Download here!

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE DOWNLOADING. Per standard, if you are snagging stuff from me. ♥
Seeing as I have the permission, I am posting the "love sick" scans. |D HAVE FUN, Y'ALL. Open for the moment (unless [livejournal.com profile] woodburner objects?); scans credited to [livejournal.com profile] woodburner.

The story is fairly simple: Kantarou goes for a walk in the rain and somewhere along the way has thoughts of mortality. He comes back, and essentially asks Haruka for sex. ("... let's do it.") During this, Kantarou mentions that human death is sad, especially for those left behind. Haruka tells him there's no way he (Haruka) would die before him (Kantarou).

At the very end, though, Kantarou says he didn't mean to have Haruka think that way.

"Before I die, I'll make 'Haruka' disappear."

BUT HEY IT'S SMUT BY THE CREATORS OF THE SERIES ITSELF. ENJOY. FANGIRL. NO, PLEASE, FANGIRL. XD (Or at least let me know if you're downloading from me so I can keep track. |D)

ETA: The link is now down. I still have a copy, so if you're interested, please drop me your email, and I'll send it to you.
