Random thank yous and pimps

It's been an interesting couple of weeks. First I get a paid LJ and then another friend gifted me with Breaking Benjamin CD's (which I freaked the class out with in lab. These are country music folk  but I think they liked it) and stories and now someone's sending me books (I'm not sure how everyone feels about attention so I'll leave it at anonymous and you can take credit if you want). It's been very cool to see the generosity of friends. And now another one is sending me stuff even though I still owe money, part of her christmas gift and her birthday gift might be late too...because I suck and I'm lazy. I think I'll try to get that done today. THANK YOU  each and every one of you. It's appreciated.

Now for the pimpages. First up  marenfic 's BtVS/AtS Sandwich ficathon. It's for threesomes so an open mind for the hotness is necessary and if you can be a tad kinky that might help. The requests are interesting to say the least (guess what you'll be reading evil_little_dog  and a deadline that's way out in the summer, thankfully!

The Fade to Black awards had trouble with their judges so they're going to voting. Sigh. You know how I don't like to ask friends to go vote for me but if you would (or for other of your favorite authors who are now in the same boat) I'd appreciate it.

And another pimp, check out scribesds group project at Project Paranormal. It's a virtual series post Chosen/Not Fade Away with some of what was proposed for 'Ripper' in mind. Buffy, Angel and Giles are the main protagonists. Some real good stories are up already. I'm still working on my story for the series.

music meme

vampedvixen tossed this at me so I figured why not.

01) Total volume of music files on my computer?
Um, none unless you count the music videos. I’m not into downloading and otherwise taking stuff offline unless I buy it which I don’t.

02) The last CD I bought was... Seventeen Days  - Three Doors Down

03a) The last song I listened to before writing this was... Hell Yeah - Montgomery Gentry

03b) Song playing right now:  Love is a battle field  - Pat Benatar

04) Five albums I listen to a lot or that mean a lot to me.
Okay this is next to impossible to answer. There’s so many and for so many different reasons. Some speak to me personally. Others are excellent for writing.

1) Tchaikovsky’s  Swan Lake  - Because once I was in love with a ballet dancer. I met him at a charity benefit where he danced Prince Siegfried’s role

2) Indigenous Circle - Because I think it’s their finest cd. I remember them from their days playing in South Dakota and their success has thrilled me

3) Any 80's compliation disc - because it takes me back to high school and college and at least in college I was a very happy person

4) The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Playing it just makes me smile even if I’m blue

5) Linkin Park - Meteora - Okay really this isn’t my usual kind of music, not by a long shot. But I do love this cd. It’s perfect for channeling Connor (and my own original angry moppet characters) Is there a song on here with prehaps one exception that doesn’t work for him?

.
05) Which 5 people are you passing this baton to, & why?

1 ) a2zmom  - because she has an amazing music collection

2) evil_little_dog  - because her tastes are as freaky as my own

3) druinsanity  - because I want to know what someone with a degree in music listens to

4)  riven142  - because I have no idea what she would listen to

5) mzzgoddessblue  - because I think we're probably scarily alike

and if bashipforever and chelle86  or hell anyone on my flist wants to do it, feel free. I'm curious.

Story Update

Hey, thanks to bashipforever  and evil_little_dog 's beta job, I've got chater eight of Tearing the Veil ready. For those of you reading now, it has surprises. For those of you waiting until it's done, sorry, still WIP. Enjoy. ETA - Molten Lava is an interesting hair color....it was blackberry puree in color in the bottle and coppery on the hair. Hmmm I'd rather have blackberry
