Celtic Thunder Makes My Legs Go Melty

Dear Celtic Thunder,

I love you. Seriously. Not only does your music appeal to my Irish roots, you are all undeniably hot. Yes, even you, George Donaldson. You Sweeney Todd type man, you. No joke. He looks EXACTLY how I picture Sweeney. But I digress. Celtic Thunder, I don't care how many people say that you are a campy boy band from a backwards country, I love you. And I think I always will. Especially Keith Harkin. Oooooer.

Love, Red

Celtic Thunder

It's ALIIIIIIIIIVE

Hoooo Boy, it's been a while since I've written. I kept forgetting my login, so yeah...that hindered the posting. I saw CATS last night.

Oh, lord. What an experience. And I mean that in the most reverent and awestruck way possible. I was sitting in the orchestra pit (!!!!!!!!!) and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my young life. I'm still in a fog of joy and wonder, so I will collect my thoughts in a coherent fashion at a later date. I'll post the cast list, though.

Let's see. I bought some music off iTunes tonight. No, can't say that I'm a music pirate. I'm too scared that my beloved computer will succumb to a virus if I download Limewire. Also, I'm technologically retarded and can't figure out how to use it. How 'bout a roundup of the songs I bought?

• "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina"-Sarah Brightman. This is now my 4th version of this song. I'm such a packrat.
• "Piano Man"-Billy Joel. Hmmmm, guilty pleasure.
• "Duel"-Bond. Oooooh, dueling string instruments!! Soooo cool sounding
• "I Kissed a Girl"-Katy Perry. Damn you, Katy Perry. Damn you and your catchy hooks & choruses.
• "If You Were a Sailboat (Live)"-Katie Melua. Some people say this song doesn't make sense, but I think it's pretty and quirky sounding. So there.
• "I Whistle a Happy Tune"-The King & I. A counterpart to "My Favorite Things" in my opinion...a nice feel-good song.
• "Getting to Know You"-The King & I. Once again, Broadway called.
• The soundtrack to "Mary Poppins". I love this movie. I love Julie Andrews. I love Dick van Dyke. Mary Poppins brings back so many memories.
• "Caledonia"-Celtic Women. I first heard this song sung by Celtic Thunder, but unfortunatley, their version of the song is not on iTunes, and Celtic Women's was really pretty, so here we are.

Fic Update!

Getting close to the end of my epic oneshot, "I Won't Grow Up". It's been giving me some trouble lately, and I've had trouble determining where I want it to end.

"Blushin' Blankets" is sort-of typed up. I'm copying it out of my notebook, but as I type it I notice things I wanna change, and I have to make executive decisions.

I did a challenge the other day (I forget who's LJ I got it from...my bad!) I put my iPod on shuffle and wrote until the end of a song. No reviews so far on FF.Net; I'm assuming just because it got overlooked (I won't tell myself it was a failure. I won't!!)

This was the little section I was most proud of, though:

(If there’s nothing missing in my life, then why do these tears come at night?)

Lucky-Britney Spears

Every day, Spot Conlon woke up and put on a fresh face. No emotion left over from the night before ever showed up on his face the next morning, be it sad or happy. He goes through the day and doesn’t let anything faze him. Spot knows that people look up to him, praise him for his utter control over everything. Spot also knows that it’s best to let people think that someone is in control of everything, because his world would be engulfed in mass panic if there wasn’t a sense of order. But at night, when no one is watching, Spot lets all the problems of the day bubble up to the surface, and he sinks into a slimy shell of guilt and regret, and he wonders if anyone ever guesses.

Kind of funny that it was brought on by Britney Spears. Thanks, Brit. Only complaint: I kind of screwed up my verb tenses between past and present.

I really liked the drabbles, even if they were kind of angsty. Except for the Blush one; that one's like crack!drabble.

I have Driver's Ed tomorrow, so I'll probably post after that. Peace, y'all.

Friday the 13th

And nothing unlucky has happened to me so far. *knocks on wood*

Go figure.

Happy Day!

YAAAAAAY! The desktop computer is back! That means I can update Newsicals, which I sort of forgot about. But anyways, I'm doing I Won't Grow Up from Peter Pan, and it's an angsty-esque Sputchy fic, which makes me happy. Should be updated later today, so YAY!

Finally, I'm getting something done.

&& I've also started that one Untitled fic, the Blush, OC/random newsie ModFic. It's pretty schweet so far, but I don't want to post the first chapter until I have a beta.

Peace ya'll.

Food, Glorious Food

Damn, I'm hungry.

Pretty much spent the whole day cleaning, and reading slash fics. And not writing Blushin' Blankets. Why? Oh, I don't know. I don't like the first couple paragraphs, and I've been tossing around other ways to write them, but none of them seem to work quite like I want them to. They don't flow. Which is so totally not fair-because it's a damn good story [if I do say so myself], and I want to get it out there so my shameless ego can be fed with reviews.

Also, I'm thinking I might try to watch Moulin Rouge eventually. Never seen it, and it sounds cool. But I have a pathological fear of seeing something new and then totally obsessing over that and end up losing my current fandom, which is what happened with Twilight.

Think mom's home with the food now, so....peace.


[there wasn't much about food in this post, was there?]

Late Nite Musings

It's pretty late & I've snuck the laptop into my room so I can read fanfiction. I'm bored with that now, so I'm posting here.

Gas is effing expensive, ya know? I don't drive for another 3 months, but I still have to be thinking about how I'm gonna pay for 4$ a gallon. Eeep.

Went to the beach today. Now my whole face is peeling. Attractive, no? I've got an Urban Plunge meeting tomorrow, so that means facing Mush [why can't I decide who I'm into-why why WHYYYY?] with a nasty, onion-skin face. Damn.

Also, my wisdom teeth hurt. I'm only fifteen years old, and I have wisdom teeth. Something is wrong with this picture, seriously. Good news is that I can get the top braces off soon. Yaaay. It's been two years. Jeez-didn't think it was that long.

Kind of a short post-but, then again, I am the queen of lazy.

Ripping off my skin

Ugh. My nose is peeling. I guess that's what I get from going to the beach and only reapplying sunscreen once. Gaaaaaaah.

I think I'm going to the beach again today. It'll be fun-hopefully MRK, MAS and KAY will be there. MAW, JRP and AL are all at camp in Georgia, so...yeah.

I hate my stupid nose.

"Anybody seen Trey?"
"Who cares about Trey-where's my fuckin' chair?!"


haha. Gotta love Blood Drips Heavily on Newsies Square.

Eh.

Well, school is out tomorrow. The gals & I are going to a mexican place for lunch, then maybe I'll hang out with MRK. Yaaaaaay.
Pardon my non-jubilance, but the desktop computer is being a butt-face, so I still have to use mom's. Which means that Blushing Blankets is still not freaking published. I guess I can work on it on mom's comp, but that runs the risk of her....seeing it. Gaaaah.

Yep, this post was pretty much just me ranting.

whatever.

Just A Quickie

So, I'm supposed to be studying for Spanish & Chem. Which I sort of am. Hace cinco minutos que lo estudie.

And I betcha you can't do mass-mass conversions like I do. Fanfictions are diverting, though. I mean, slash is so dang appealing. <--wow, I sound like a freak. Eh. But Blush and Sputchy are so...pretty!

Okay, I'm really going to study now.
Adios, muchachos!
