Experimenting with mp3s
Ah, I just got a software that can convert regular music tracks to digital files, so you know what it means. Yeah. Sharing music!
Maybe I'll make a tradition and share two to four songs a month. We'll see. I don't have a lot of music now.
I'll bring you today my first (and successful) sample:
Artist: Incubus
Song: Aqueous transmission
Genre: uh, in this case I'd say experimental
Notes: This is the song that named my journal ^_^ I love this song. It's so weird I don't know how to describe it. Even if Incubus is a rock band, this song lacks any rock instrument (we do hear DJ sounds and slight percussion, though). The melody is strongly Asian-influenced, so you'll find shamisen, flutes and orchestra string instruments performing it. But the weirdest sounds are birds chirping on the background and croaking frogs in the end of the song. The lyrics are pretty and interesting, probably about a river-water sailor who reflects about his feelings of loneliness while he sails, unless it's all a metaphor. Either way, it works for me.
Sorry about the size. The song is rather long (almost 8 minutes) so it turned out heavy. Maybe after hearing it, you'll see why I'm so satisfied with my LJ's newest layout.

I just figured out you were

Oh. lol yeah... I usually forget things like that too. And I don't know if I really want people connecting the two.

The only journal I don't want people to link me is my journalfen account (for fandom wank and assorted mocking comms reading *cough* I don't check it often, really!) Only Vicki-mun knows. In LJ I have... let's see... this one, a webmistress journal, an icon journal, a Spanish journal, a fic comm/journal. Whoa. I guess it's more for organization purposes. I don't like filtering or people filtering me a lot. I seriously doubt all my flist would read my fanfics or my personal Spanish posts, for instance.
Okay, let me know ^_^
no subject
Yeah, like you said, it is mainly for organization in the end.
I'll let you know when I up episode 14. That one made me HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY.

Yay! -grins stupidly in anticipation- I remember your Tsubasa one where Touya says, "I want to get laid" and Yukito says, "Me too." I didn't take it, but I <3 it.
I think that'd pairing would be really interesting... A very interesting dynamic between the characters, at the very least. I should really try a pairing like that someday, just to see what it's like to try to write.
I like pairings like that. I think that's why I like Hughes/Gracia so much. I don't read the manga, so I'm not sure which characters you write but I've heard of a few manga-only ones.
WHEEEEE~ Thanks! ^_^ I love you. Really.
And I hope that doesn't mean you'll stop talking to me... =(

Well, there IS Clow/Yuuko canon. Just not in the mangas, but in a storybook about Mokona Modoki that can be bought only in Japanese. Translations on those stories are slow. But I digress.
Maes/Gracia is awesome <3 I wrote a fic in Spanish about them once for a friend who's in love with Hughes. You really should read the manga, even if it's in scanlations. It's so much better than the anime, although it has less yaoi subtext, I'm glad afraid. There's less Hughes, though, but Gracia actually has a personality.
Why would I? o_o Unless you're already bored or something. I'd tell you about friending, but I'm too shy for asking that.
no subject
Yes, I know, but there's still a really unique dynamic between them, one that I don't think I could duplicate very well in fanfiction.
^_^ I think I will, eventually, when I get the time. I didn't quite get the yaoi subtext in the anime (even though I'm a Roy/Ed shipper. T____T) Oh, and did you mean "I'm afraid" when you said "I'm glad afraid"? Awww... but I love Hughes! -huggles-
Okay. Good. Then I can still have a constant running conversation. It's okay; did you want to "tell" me about friending you (like are there special rules or something o_O?) or "ask"? Because you're welcome to friend me, if you so desire.
no subject
gladafraid there's no subtext in manga. I don't like yaoi in FMA very much; I just don't see it. And the fandom scares me as much as the Harry Potter fandom. But that's a different story.Um. I. Um. Well. I'm really shy asking for people to add me/let me add them. I don't know, I figured, since we're enjoying our conversation, why not friending each other. But that's okay if you don't want to, as my journal is rather strange to read. I'm not someone to add a journal without being mutual, unless it's a multimedia/news/webcomics provider.
Besides, I wouldn't even know what journal of yours should I add.
no subject
because we can't stand to see Roy sleeping with Riza.Go ahead and add me; I don't care if you add my writing or personal journal, it's up to you. The writing journal only gets updated when I write something, and I write for 4 different fandoms. I'll friend you on my personal journal, if you don't mind.
no subject
even though I truly believe Roy is Rizasexual, but then again the manga is pointing that way and I don't recognize anime as canon anymore, so that makes me teh evol horand talking with me, and not because I've been thinking of friending you.no subject
Argh, I don't know what it is, but I REALLY don't like Riza...I love you! XDno subject
no subject
But that's okay!
