Well, at least in the writing department. I'm re-working a xdevilskissx prologue right now and having a nice nostalgia trip with James Bond Themes. Hopefully I can get a good chunk written before my vacation.

Yeah, it's been kind of slow around here. XD

Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope all of you have a great day filled with family/friends and presents. :D

Edit: AND HOW COULD I FORGET...

I give you what is quite possibly the greatest Christmas song of all time. Enjoy!



And now the holiday is complete.

Pet Shop Boys "Where the Streets Have No Name" comes to mind, and not just because it popped on my iPod while I was typing this. It's just catchier than the U2 version, even though I enjoy the original thoroughly.

I have a few others in mind, but they're more "I like them equally" as opposed to "better".

I just saw the new plot at elegycity and signed Venom up for it. I thought about tossing Josuke in, but I'm not sure how the whole thing would work with his Stand ability. We'll see, though. >:3 I can't wait to explore this plot.

On the subject of le Elegy, I've been considering having my boys learn music. Josuke I can kind of see with some kind of percussion instrument. I'm thinking about giving him a set of drums and let him piss off the neighborhood with them. I seriously doubt he has any natural sense of rhythm, so when he discovers that he just might be able to keep a rhythm going, he's gonna be one happy Joestar.

With Venom, it's proving to be a little more difficult. Y'see, I have a recurring theme with my Venoms: vocal talent. It stems back to Trevor (An AU!Venom in clairbourn) and his history with choir and performing in talent shows. In sieben_rpg, Venom had nightingale attributes, giving him a pleasant voice. I'm debating whether or not to continue the vocal tradition and have Venom learn how to sing or go with something new. The only runner I have is Venom learning either piano or cello. Piano because it would be a good foundation instrument and cello... well...

I have fanart of Venom playing the cello. Not quite sure how that came about, but I'll consider it.

As always, any ideas or feedback are welcome. That said, I am going to wait for the Germany vs. Australia match to start.

Also, I think I'll take el Geoff's suggestion for who to app to elegycity. I'll have to start working on the app today. Actually, I have TWO people in mind, but this guy comes first, THEN FFIV Edward.

To kick off this brand new decade, here's a meme snatched from a couple of folks on my friend list. :3

Day 01 Your favorite song

The source of my nickname throughout my internet years. I dunno what it is, but it just strikes a deep chord within me. The odd thing is, it has to be this version. I give you "Domino Dancing (Alternative Mix)" by Pet Shop Boys.



( 29 more days )

Sharing seven things across the span of a week.

Day 1: A song
Day 2: A picture
Day 3: A book/ebook/fanfic
Day 4: A site
Day 5: A youtube clip
Day 6: A quote
Day 7: Whatever tickles your fancy

I give you Open Up - Leftfield feat. John Lydon

I discovered this tune a couple of years after its release, and it still kicks my ass to this very day.

With the movie meme going around, I decided to dig up an old music meme I never got the chance to finish. It should be a bit easier for me since I have more songs on my iPorn now.

STEP 01 — Load up all your music in your music player and hit shuffle.
STEP 02 — Post the first line of the first 100 songs that pop up.
STEP 03 — Let everyone take a guess at the artist and song.
STEP 04 — ONLY CHEATERS USE GOOGLE!! D:<
STEP 05 — READY STEADY ( GO! )

I'll put up the answer key in a week or whenever the responses stop coming. I had to fast forward several due to instrumental songs and double shots of the same artist. The 100th song also landed on a song by a local band, one that no one would get outside of local Las Vegans.

I has a few memes for you guys, the first being a 100-word drabble.

100 Word Muse Meme

1. Pick any of your RP muses
2. Get into the zone, really into their psyche, and write a drabble about the first aspect of them that pops into your head.
3. The drabble must be exactly 100 words. No more, no less.
4. Post it under a cut with the character and the aspect/thing that you wrote the drabble about in your journal
5. Tag 5 other people to write a drabble for one of their muses.

( Venom - Acceptance )

Damn, that took me longer than I wanted. I won't worry about tagging, so you guys snatch this meme if you like. :3 SO! Time for a music meme!

❷ Then put your music playlist on shuffle.
