You live, you learn

Infinity artbook is tempting me *eye twitches*

I'm not liking the seasonal LJ look, unlike Halloween's. It's too colorful and clustered. And it looks bad in 800x600.

Last night, I was chatting with ruki_elric about the FMA fandom, and we started talking about pet shipping for some reason. We were surprised they haven't moved on to the animals yet. Like, Black Hayate/any animal or Xiao Mei/Al's kitties. I said Black Hayate would be the fandom's bicycle, whored by anyone with anyone. Some het shippers would be crossing fingers for Den and Black Hayate meeting each other in actual canon, age differences aside, while crazy yaoi fangirls would write Alexander (Nina's dog)/"Buraha" noncon sexxorz. Of course, we were kidding around because it's so scary.

But this morning, I see the manga calendar scans again (if you want to see them all, check here), and I remember that conversation again as I see Den and Hayate posing in images there. Ruki, Hayate/Den is so canon! XDD Check April! And December! But especially, see June!! XDDD

*sighs* Anyway...

Again, some mp3 sharing! This month, some old Alanis Morissette songs that remind me of XXXHOLiC. You should really check them out, even if it's for the lyrics.

Artist: Alanis Morissette
Song: You learn
Genre: Rock ballad, really cracky yet thoughtful
Notes: Okay, everything in this song can be applied to XXXHOLiC. No, actually, the song summarizes the whole series very well, especially the chorus. Dude. Just imagine Yuuko singing it (with Mokona, Maru and Moro occasionally meddling it. Mokona yelling "I certainly do!"). Of course, the generic you would be Watanuki.
I'd kill to see a music video with this song. If I knew how, I'd do it myself, with manga images because I can't wait for anime.

Artist: Alanis Morissette
Song: All I really want
Genre: Rock, more agressive than the others
Notes: A really random song, It's not as accurate as the other one, but some paragraphs are really HOLiC-centered. Most of them from Yuuko's side, but a couple of ones from Watanuki's. Some parts could be interpreted as D/W or C/Y.

And an extra one, for the_great_elk.

Artist: Alanis Morissette
Song: Head over feet
Genre: Rock ballad, romantic
Notes: Not HOLiC this time, but Touya/Yukito! It's about someone who slowly fell in love with her best friend. This one would be great for a TouYuki FST. I can just imagine them singing it as a duet. Except for the first paragraph; that would be Yue's.
The only thing that won't fit is "you treat me like I'm a princess". I have flashbacks of dragqueen!Cinderella!Touya XD

Thank you for the songs! Jagged Little Pill was one of the first CDs that I ever bought and yet I totally passed over it in my quest to find xxxholic songs. x.x I love how Head Over Feet is a T/Y song.

Thanks for the link to the FMA calendar scans as well. :3 *should catch up with the manga already*

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

You're welcome ^^

I just happened to browse through old CDs, and while I was listening to this one, I was surprised to think side-track.

[the-great-elk.livejournal.com]

ROAR. I just realized that I'm at home leeching a bad wireless connection, so I have to wait until tonight when I get back to school with ethernet to download. =(

And I will thank you profusely when I download. XD Thank youuuuuuu~ in advance.

[the-great-elk.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I gave up and conquered my phone line and downloaded the song, and I love it! It's so awesome. I'm an Alanis Morisette fan to start with, and that song... the lyrics just made my fangirl day. Again. -happy sigh- All right, back to cookies and a depressing football game.

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

Yay, songs! Thanks! *downloads*

The more I look at the FMA calendar, the more I love it. October is too cool X3

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Yeah, October is awesome! I'm a sucker for Halloween imagery, though.

You have to give me the reason after listening to You Learn. It fits so much it hurts!

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

Heh. I like that song, but I'd never payed attention to the lyrics, and you're so right is scary.

By the way, I always forget to ask you if you saw my post from a while ago with the C/Y and RoyAi (for me, at least) songs...

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Oh. I think I saw it on school labs, but when I got home the post had passed the first friendspage. Must've forgotten about it.

The songs, were they hosted in YSI or Megaupload?

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

YSI, but I can upload them again, I still have them on my hard disk.

Which one's better to upload things, actually? I know both of them have rabid haters...

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I think both are sucky. But I used MU because it lasts longer and uploads faster.

But really, you don't have to go through all that hassle again for me!

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

Nah, it's not too much work. I might do it tomorrow.

...and LJ didn't email this comment. ¬_¬ When are they going to fix things?

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

I posted them here. And I hope LJ mails you this comment... *crosses fingers*

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I meant here...

HAHAHAHAHAHHA siii cuando ya hayan hecho a todo mundo pareja de todo mundo van a empezar a pensar en los animales xD!!!!

HAYATEXDEN OTP!!!!!

Hace medio año comencé a escuchar Alanis porque mi hermana encontró el CD original de Jagged Little Pill de oferta (3€) y sus temas no estaban mal, hasta semanas después le traje de la biblioteca los discos de So-called chaos y Supposed former infatuation junkie y con los gustos del momento (básicamente Green Day al conseguir la discografía entera y el recopilatorio de los ochenta de U2) acabé eliminando todos los temas de Alanis de la biblioteca, aunque hace un par de semanas me cansé de todo lo que tenía en la biblioteca y volví a añadir todo lo de ella, y sinceramente la mayoría de sus temas me parecen muy buenos, entre ellos los tres de los que has hablado.

A ver si próximamente le da por sacar nuevo disco y deja de lado su vena nostálgica, tras sacar este año el disco en acústico de Jagged Little Pill y el de los grandes éxitos.

Ah, el pasado domingo estuve viendo el programa del 40 al 1 (el que emiten en Cuatro) y emitieron el videoclip de Crazy. Me recordó a la punk de Avril con tanto empujón *nótese la ironía*

Espero que próximamente sigas hablando de canciones que te gustan, sinceramente es un tema del que me gusta leer opiniones y encima ofreces la oportunidad de descargar el tema (siempre es de agradecer el descubrimiento de nuevos artistas).
Nada más, ¿se nota mi fiebre udosiana? XP

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Tío, pierdes un poco el tiempo porque después de "Supposed former infatuation junkie" me desligué por completo de la mujer y su música. Desde entonces, y hasta el sol de hoy, no me ha gustado nada de su música nueva. Me gustaba más cuando chillaba. La única excepción fue Uninvited del soundtrack de City of Angels (que me pone la piel de gallina) y su cover de King of Pain del MTV Unplugged. de resto... meh. Nunca he visto ese video de Crazy.

Igual, desde la semana pasada empecé la tradición de subir mp3 ^_^ Puse la canción que le da el nombre a mi blog, Aqueous Transmission de Incubus. no sé si la pillaste, es muy interesante.

[toshikun.livejournal.com]

Te reirías si te dijese que la única canción de "Supposed..." que he escuchado es The couch. Siempre tengo la cochina costumbre de escuchar las canciones ordenadas por el número de pista y con el nombre de los discos ordenados alfabéticamente, con lo que si llega a cargarse ese disco algun día puede ser un puro milagro XP
Llego a cansarme de escuchar un grupo al poco más de escuchar diez temas seguidos, igual me pasa con The Cranberries o también con U2 (depende el disco).
El videoclip de Crazy lo puedes ver aquí (http://www.los40.com/static/actualidad/especiales/2005/alanis_morissette). Espero que te sirva de ayuda el enlace ;)

De Incubus me pasaron dos discos, entre ellos estaba el tema de Aqueous Transmission. El tema en un principio no me gusta por su parte instrumental. Quizás en un futuro mi opinión dé un giro 180º, como algunos grupos que a día de hoy se me cae la baba, básicamente.

[quitelife00.livejournal.com]

Ah, I love All I Really Want! It's an old favorite song of mine.

Thank you for the link to "You Learn."

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

You're welcome ^^

[goodchristina.livejournal.com]

Hahah, be careful what you wish for, the pet shipping my actually catch on. Hmm, who is Den? *forgets* When you said that the first pets I thought of were Black Hayate and Winry's dog. I love Alanis Morissette, when I listen to You Learn and think of holic, it really does remind me of Watanuki. And zomg fma calendar scans, yoy!

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Den is Winry's dog.

[hamsterfactor.livejournal.com]

ZOMG! Buraha/Den sexx0rs doesn't have a community! WE SHALL MAKE ONE! 'Cause... 'cause... well, there isn't one!!! W00t! kjdfshk!

Y si antes empiezo a hablar de como el Havoc/Hawkeye es absurdo, no funciona, me irk-ea y demás... ¡¡antes hacen una comm!! ¡Y encima "supuestas" fans RoyAi! (que, diox, tienen como 1000 iconos míos) :D Esta claro, si en este fandom te limitas a ciertos pairings que no interfieren unos con otros para siempre... ¡eres una aburrida y una estrecha! <3 En fin, mejor para mí y Zau, nos repatean los hígados estas nuevas fans que se creen que inventaron el RoyAi xPPP Hala, shussh, idos a otro pairing xP

Y así de bitch estoy estos días D: Por cierto, gracias por las canciones <3333 Alanis = amor. *se va a ver si termina su manga100 de Roy*

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Uy, sí, cuando vi la comu de Havoc/Hawkeye, pensé en ti ¬_¬ Yo no entiendo como la tía ésa, la hawkeye_chuui, que se llena la boca de lo maravilloso que es el el Royai, y pluggea sus 362 capítulos de fics de Royai, y ahora sale con Havoai?! Claro está que no conozco bien a esa chica, pero por eso me cayó de sorpresa ese asunto Ô_ô

Me dan lástima los novi@s/espos@s de los fanbrats de FMA. Si predican la monogamia en la vida real como lo hacen en el fandom...

Pero yo entiendo tu punto de vista y el de Zau. Yo no llamo a una pareja OTP si me gusta ver alguno de sus miembros con otra persona.

Kurismasu purezento!

Re: Kurismasu purezento!

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! *hugs*

Although, I'm afraid I'm not exactly a supporter of icons with the person's nickname. I'd feel shallow using it. Especially since I hate smoke and cigarrettes as I'm a passive smoker.

Re: Kurismasu purezento!

[quitelife00.livejournal.com]

I made three others for you (sans any nicknames) here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/smirky_icons/6114.html

[chibiyuuto.livejournal.com]

omg I can't believe I'm reading a Alanis + CLAMP post *dies*

I luuuuuuuuve Alanis *-* Really !!! All I Really Want is my all time fav of hers *O* I'm so happy to know you like it !

I'm so happy ! But I usually don't mix them both o.O
But then I wanted to find one song too, just for fun, and yes I found one !
It's called Sorry To Myself, is not famous, is in the also not-so-famous Feast on Scraps Album (also on the recently released The Collection)

It sooooooo reflects what Watanukis had just went trough... you know, the whole "stop thinking too much about other people and think a bit about youself", you should really check this one out ^_~
