There's a lot of folks sending out Christmas cards, and I can't find all your posts! (Keeping up with flist = fail on alternate days, apparently...)

If you have a card to spare, please send it my way - I could use the holiday cheer.

Wayne Brady! JELL-O!!!

Do NOT eat or drink while watching this one, folks - extreme splerkage may result. XDDD

Thanks to beccastareyes for pointing this out!

I mixed up some numbers in the prompt list, so both an unexpected act of kindness in the first posting week and "Who do you think you are?" in the second posting week list characters 6 and 7. One of the two should have listed 6 and 8! Feel free to change whichever one you'd prefer, on your own list.

...or, uh, don't change them, if they're both too awesome to resist. ^^;

Sorry about that!

So! This month, I had planned to do a post with a 'Gift' theme, since it was Christmahanakwaastice time...and then my computer died really, really impressively (...a glowly rectangular halo appeared in the middle of the screen, and then it wouldn't turn on any more. It literally gave up the ghost), and I had to buy a new one. And the new one is...doing strange and unusual things, meaning it's going back to the store next Saturday, the soonest I can take it. My iPod is also giving me the cold icies by freezing up and the screen doing new and different things that usually tend to translate into 'bad'. With all these combined, I just have not been able to get the list for this month ready. m(__)m

And so! This month is a free-for-all! In the comments, upload a song and the lyrics, and I'll put it up in the main post. If you want to do a song in the key of Gift, that works, too--seeing as the only gift electronic equipment is giving me this month is the finger, y'all can do a better job then me right now. :D

The music!
1. Amanda Palmer - Runs in the Family
From auryon
( The lyrics have problems with winter and autumn. )

2. Weddings Parties Anything - Keep Talking To Me (wma format)
From megpie71
( You bide your time, lyrics, I'll buy the drinks. )

3. Devil May Cry anime - Future in My Hands
From jlsigman
( Set the lyrics free from lies and cold deceptions. )

4. JJ Lin 林俊傑 - Eternal Life 不死之身
Mod got off her ass and uploaded! This is one I had picked out for the "Gift" theme.
( After the earth has been destroyed, the lyrics will still love you with a love that knows no bounds. )

5. Tori Amos - Bells for Her
Mod "Gift" pick!
( And now lyrics speak to you are you in there? )

6. Justin Timberlake and Andy Samburg - Dick in a Box (SNL live version, studio version)
Mod "Gift" theme...oh come on, I HAD to. It was a moral imperative. XDDDDD
( It's my lyrics in a box! Lyrics in a box, ooh. )

7. HY - あなた Anata (you)
Mod Gift theme
( There were days when it hurt, when the lyrics crumpled to the ground in tears. )

8. Anthony Stewart Head - Standing in the Way
Gift pick!
( The lyrics wish they could stay. )

9. Kirsty MacColl - Runs in the Family
From auryon
( These lyrics know where they stand. )

10. Imogen Heap - Just For Now

( These lyrics are just for now. )

Woo-hoo! So check it out...each and every one of my goals has been met.

I deserve cookies! Caffeine cookies! With caffeine chips! Woo-hoo!

I don't tend to participate in writing challenges, mostly because I know perfectly well what my response to a self-imposed deadline is (namely, I sulk, and pout, and put things off, and eventually don't wind up having written anything). However, I have to admit that the No True Pair community has some very interesting little prompts, and I've been having a lot of fun playing around with them on my own time.

So far I've written a whole five of them out (and only one of them has been satisfactory enough to be posted... although I've a couple of others which are getting there, after the next three runs of epicyclical edits), and I definitely have plans for more of them. For the "twelve characters" prompts, I wound up with three teams (well, I had the original twelve, and six on the exchange bench, so then I mixed them up a bit), all from FF7. For the eight characters prompts, I wound up with just the one group (although I think I might work up a second, purely for the fun of it - the first group is pretty much Shinra/SOLDIER, and it might be fun to throw an Avalanche group into my mix).

The total number of different prompts I have sitting there? Eighty-four, of which I'm struggling with ideas for twelve - at least two of these are because I have trouble writing Nesa having sex with male characters without a great deal of provocation, and at least one of the characters involved in one of them is a relative of hers. For the other difficult ones, it's putting the characters in the same place at the same time. But those just make it difficult, not impossible. I may yet work out some further plots and plans...

Tweak says, "Weiß Kreuz, is the good crack"

I need to get back on that rewatch... :3

I just posted my last kinkfest prompt, after banging it out in the space of about an hour and a half. Which I've been doing far too often this round. *headdesk* Even when I was busy with school, I used to have my prompts written out well in advance. This month, writing was like pulling teeth and I usually wound up having to come up with something either the night before or the day of. I really think my quality suffered.

Maybe I need a break. It's not as though I don't have a metric ton of crocheting to do, after all. *zoom zoom yarn becomes blanket, alakazam!*

Thanksgiving was actually very nice. I baked the pumpkin pie (and it turned out amazing, thankyouverymuch!), Mom made gravy from scratch, and Dad did pretty much everything else. He'd wound up getting a twenty-five pound turkey because that's all he could find. It barely even fit in the oven. So, uh... anyone wanna come over for turkey sammiches? XD It's really good turkey, too - usually I could take it or leave it, but Dad did a really good job. I suppose that's a good thing if you're going to have leftovers anyway.

EDIT: Oh god, lol. Dad put up the Peanuts characters today (see this post) and has a spotlight shining on Sally so it casts the shadow of her head right on the front window. I... never realized how much her head looked like the Bat signal before. XDDD This calls for a crossover, you know. "Good grief, we need a hero!" "I've got an idea. Sally, hold still." "What are you doing, you blockhead!?"

.......oh god, my brain.

Holy crap, mom just bought me a brand new 19'' LCD monitor! :DDDDD It's set up in all its glorious widescreen goodness right in front of me.

Installing its proper driver is being difficult, though - I've only ever used plug-and-play ones, so I never bothered installing the motherboard's video driver XD *is downloading it now*

So for now everything's streeeeeeeeeeeeetched horizontally. XDD

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH

I stayed up to buy a permanent account (it's over midnight here) and it turns out you can't pay with credit cards ;_; none of the other options are available to me (I have a paypal account, but it's empty... and putting money in it actually eats up some money because of different currencies or something, and really, I shouldn't even be considering buying the damn thing, but...)

Damn, I was so looking forward to scrapping the damn ads forever. T____T

Edit: Oh, wait. Apparently there is a way to directly use credit cards through paypal. I never actually used paypal (I made an account in the hopes of receiving donations... that never came, yeah), so I had no idea. Uh, cool *goes to spend money I shouldn't be spending*
