break the lock if it don't fit

+Tuesday I went kayaking and today I am tan. Sort of. Well, tan for me. You get the idea.

+Big bang undergoing major reworking re: Merlin's character, which is good, but also kind of frustrating because it means my word count is sort of...stagnant.  But it had to be done.

+Wrote a song, sorta, jamming with a friend whilst being incredibly lazy at the park, got home, slept for three hours, woke up and it was stuck in my head so I ended up sitting down and writing it down.  Let's just say it starts with "She held the world on a string/Sitting on a rainbow" and gets progressively more tripping from there :p  I'd put a link to me singing it, only, I can't sing, so it sounds terrible.

++And because I asked for something (and it's definitely a good use of time instead of doing something productive):
The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request ~something~ of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead.

Fandoms I'm offering
: Merlin, Bandom, Tamora Pierce, Alex Rider, random other fandom you want that I've read/watched

+LASTLY. AM WORKING ON VERY SEKRIT PROJECT FOR MERLIN FANDOM. TO BE REVEALED IN LIKE SEPTEMBER. OR SOMETHING. *nodnod* (*cough* If you approve of awesome projects and would like to, say, be a third mod, lemme know *winning smile*)

I AM SO INTRIGUED BY YOUR SEEEKRITTT

AHAHAHAHA. It's not even that exciting, really. I just saw something in a different fandom, went HEYY THAT'S AWESOME, and am working on converting it lol.

I do not have time to mod anything, but I heartily approve of awesome things! \o/

[identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL AWESOME FTW!

OH SEKRIT MERLIN PROJECT totally sounds like something that could get me back into the Merlin fandom. *grin*

Also, writing a song? Pfoah. I am very much impressed and would love to hear it *smiles innocently*

[identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
\O/ I HOPE IT DOES. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE AWESOME IF IT GOES EVEN CLOSE TO THE WAY THE ORIGINAL ONE (in a different fandom) DID!!!!

Eh, I write music a lot, though usually not vocal. But it's not very good, so I tend to, ah, relegate it to my hard drive :p But if you really want to hear AND PROMISE NOT TO LAUGH I have the first verse/intro recorded. Well, just vocals. I didn't mix it with anything yet.

[identity profile] whocares19-05.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
YAY \o/ I will stick to random outbursts of joy as long as I don't know what exactly I'm cheering about. *grin*

I PROMISE WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS DEAR TO ME THAT I WILL NOT LAUGH.
I'm terribly, terribly crappy at singing so I would never laugh at anyone for not being the best singer in the world.
Also it's music. And music makes my world go round. So if anything shows up around me it has to be examined, ktnx. *laughs*

ME ME PICK ME! I would totally be interested in helping you mod your ~seekrit project~ if you'll have me (and if [livejournal.com profile] staraflur hasn't beaten me to it.

Also ughhhh Big Bang. Mine has been so frustrating the ENTIRE FREAKING TIME re: characterization. *kicks it*

[identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
VUVUZELA ICON FTW.

ANOWLINSUNSHINE, I CHOOSE YOU! (and also realize why pokemon have 2 syllable names.) Sorry, I seem to be full of references to animated things today. They just keep slipping out! I can't help it!

But yeah, if you want to help mod, that would be AWESOME and FABULOUS. It's me and [livejournal.com profile] nyxelestia so far...uhm, do you have google wave? I think our plotting is mostly up there so far. But yeah, shoot me a PM and we'll talk :D

BIG BANG. *sobs* It's like it's being difficult ON PURPOSE! If it wasn't a bb, I would've scrapped it by now. *joins in kicking*

[identity profile] dreamdustmama.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I HAVE ENTERED PANIC MODE RE: BIG BANGS. AAAAHHHH. *pulls hair*

Also, YAY FOR SEKRIT PROJECTS!! I want to knooooow!

[identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
WHY DID WE THINK SIGNING UP WAS A GOOD IDEA? I'M PRETTY SURE IT WASN'T. *runs in circles*

LOL. Wow, I really didn't expect people to be this interested in it. It's not really that sekrit, just IN DEVELOPMENT.

[identity profile] hiza-chan.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I do approve of awesome projects, but alas, no time for modding. Also, WAY TO WRITE A SONG. I'm all right when it comes to writing, but if you tell me to write a song I'll just look at you like a deer about to get hit by a truck.

...I do enjoy memes though. Am I too late to request something? And by something do you mean fic? Icons? Etc? But uh, I like some Merlin/Arthur, ya?

(gimme like a day to post this in return, since I just posted a writing meme)

[identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
:D I...don't actually have time for modding either, but to know better than to start a project would take common sense, something I apparently don't have :p

And eh, I kind of write music a lot? It's not ~good or anything, and mostly it's instrumental, but I took music theory and then sort of couldn't stop :D It's fun and keeps me busy though so, I don't mind if it all ends up relegated to my hard drive ^_^

You...are actually the first to ask for something? I think either people are ignoring it in a hint that I should be working on other stuff, or just got completely distracted by the project, lol.

But, I can do Merlin/Arthur, of course! And what would you like best? I can do fic or icons :)

[identity profile] hiza-chan.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... pretty, pretty bright icons?! ♥

[identity profile] egotists.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Eee yay for a Merlin project.

I am interested in helping with your secret!! :D Also, kayaking sounds like lots of fun. I am jealous.

[identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
:D I must converse with Nyxie so we can get off our butts and figure out what we're doing with the whole co-mod situation, but thank you! I'm really excited XD

And lol. It was just around a lake, so nothing ~really~ cool like whitewater, but it was a good excuse to be lazy in the sun :p

[identity profile] talkstosheep.livejournal.com 2010-07-23 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
you has a secret!!!!! *is intrigued* i'd help out, most definitely! i'm sure i could figure the moddish stuff out.

but really. SEPTEMBER? not at all sooner? *smiles sweetly*

[identity profile] arithilim.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL :D It's really not so much ~sekrit as ~in progress, tbh. And I will talk to my co-plotter and figure out how we're working with ze volunteered help :p And let you know. I'M EXCITED!

Well, see, we didn't want to overlap with the big bangs! Everyone's stressed out of their minds already :p Figured if we wanted it to take off, we should try when fandom isn't so busybusybusy ^_^
