randomness...

-

I think there are problems with it -- I don't know, it sounds like the person who put the instruments and voice together and added effects is a bit of an amateur, and the screaming parts are subtly off.

I've been hitting "watch again" almost nonstop for the last three days. =____=;;; Been trying other Emilie Autumn songs on youtube, but I don't love most of them -- just Opheliac. If anyone had a MP3 so I could just put it on repeat until I make myself sick of it, I'd be happy, because having to go hit refresh every five minutes gets old. *looks cute at* ;é___è;


-Old and super-random con-lang idea... Dates back from when I was trying to write a fight scene with Naruto and the bunch of kids he did Sexy no Jutsu on, and it's kinda clumsy to use "his left foot" "his right hand". I like to let people visualize instead of describing every single position and angle, but if you don't use "right" and "left" then it becomes kind of weird. Like he steps on something with all his weight, and then he kicks -- with the same foot? huh.

So there would be a language, and there would be a very short suffix, perhaps even just an accent, that means right or left -- but it also evolves to imply things about what comes from the left hand and from the right, blahblah, and when it gets attached to totally random neutral objects it gives it a whole secondary meaning and implications.

Like right-handed heart = cold bastard.

that was your random geekery of the day. >_>;;;


-This site is pretty awesome. WRITE OR DIE!! >:O It's a web application that flashes red at you and plays annoying noises in punishment if you stop writing or don't reach your word quota. ... of course that means I never use it. XD;

Youtube wont work on my school's internet, sadly. But I must say that write or die thing is hilarious. It actually backspaces your writing if you put it on evil mode.

XD I've been addicted to Emilie for a couple of months now ♥ Especially the songs What If, Shalott, Gothic Lolita, Rapunzel,I Know Where You Sleep, Dead Is The New Alive and, of course, Opheliac. =D

If you didn't already get it; http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/663565_ot1q2/EmilieAutumn-Opheliac.mp3

I think that works, if it does it should be direct.

Also, I want to try the read or die thing but I'm in class. >__>
It seems really nifty though, and just the thing that will help me actually write instead of get two words done and then begin procrastinating. xD;;

Augh now I really want ot try it! I have so much work to do today though that I doubt I'll get to try it *sadface* but since you say it works I'll begin throwing it at my friends who are lagging in NaNo with me. xP

God, my friend gave me his second account to a game and I've spent at least 7-9hours on it each day since last thursday, I think it's slowly killing me. x_____X As such, it's kept me from doing schoolwork and there is stuff due tomorrow that I haven't started. :<

Anyway, glad you got the song and thanks again for the crazy link. I'm going to actually pay attention to the lecture now. xD;;

I love (and own) all her songs -but yeah the screaming bits take some getting used to.

She's apparantly touring here in April 09 - so I'm definetly seeing her then!

I agree, the instruments don't sound exactly matched up with the voice..

I tried evil mode! :D Of course, I already exceeded 50k yesterday, so the backspacing of words was not panic-causing, just amusing ^^

It is an ear worm *nods solemnly*

I sacrificed quality! Lots and lots of quality!

Oh gods, the Write or Die is amazing, in les than an hour (all together on different modes) I racked up just under 900 words, as soon as the screen started to go red I leapt to attention 'yes master, I'm sorry, I'll do better' *frantic typing, ignore haemorrhaging fingers or the screen will eat me* hell, even as I type this message I expect the white background to get angry if I take too long *whimpers*

Bad for typo checking but if you're a really nit-picker like me that spends too much time on details it's really good, though I'll need to revise what I wrote quite a bit it's more than I've done in ages- I had a killer writers blood with this story! *Hugs Askerian for pointing the site out to the lesser mortals*

I may need severe therapy but at least my readers will be happy! ^_^; *Rocks self back and forth* Happy place, happy place, the screen can't get me here, happy place....

*shit-eating grin*

So guess who saw Emilie Autumn and her pretty, pretty dancers last Monday in NYC? And was so close to the stage that I was able to take a cookie from Veronica?

I'm not an existing fan, and I'm not likely to become one, but that was one kick-ass show.

WRITE OR DIE!! >:O

That looks like an evil application. I'll have to go and try it.

You're right, it DOES sound...off. Like someone who is an amateur did the cutting in and such? I dunno.

I've been listening to this for a bit.

Mmyes. It's Amy Lee from the band Evanescence. The reason she's so popular is cause she has a really good effing voice and she's gorgeous to boot. I like the other songs on that cd too, but they didn't take my breath away like Amy's version of this song.

You ever see the original movie?

Aw! Oh well. I imagine the version you heard before was by Fiona Apple.
