You know what's a weird thing if you start thinking about it?
Shills from music.

I mean, it's just sound, usually only a small bit of it too, but your skin gets goosebumps all over and this...shivery thing just goes all through, gathering somewhere at the back of your head, before it fades away. But it's still only music.

In other news, was just listening to Catherine Feeny's No Reply on Spotify. :9

Went to take a H1N1 shot yesterday...heard all these horror stories about how I might get a sore arm or fewer or worse. Well, I went in, got a waiting number, waited for a measly half an hour and then got the shot. The doctor/nurse-person asked me if "it hurts a lot?" and I almost asked her if she was even DOING anything...I'D But I seldom feel shots anyway, beyond a tiny prick.
And the side-effects? NOTHING. I don't feel anything in the arm, unless I purposely press directly on the place the shot was given in.

So now I'll just hold my breath for the two weeks it takes to get immunity *knocks on wood*

And then, fic/let I wrote today, on a flash inspiration. I'm afraid it's Hetalia again though...I'3

Title: Boots of American Leather
Fandom: Hetalia
Rating: PG
Summary: Spain goes to see his OTHER colonies, Romano is not pleased.

Notes: Very much inspired by Bob Dylan's Boots Of Spanish Leather Although with flipped locations *ahem* (Which you can also listen to here on youtube). I hope I didn't mess up their voices too badly. :/ Oh, and for further angst value, consider that song a translation of what Romano is actually feeling deep down. Because it totally is.

Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way/
I'm sure your mind is roamin'/
I'm sure your heart is not with me/
But with the country to where you're goin'

Title: Näcken och Jungfrun
Artist: Me
Warnings: If I succeeded in my goals, Näck is a creepy creeper. And the lyrics definitely are. x9

Summary: An illustration for a Swedish folk song, Näcken och Jungfrun. It's about a Näck (or Näkki in Finnish), a type of watersprite living in lakes and rivers.
Notes: Under the cut, anyone interested will find the illustration drawn by self, a translation of the version recorded by Ranarim (a Swedish folk group), links to versions of the song by Ranarim, and also by Gjallarhorn. I'll also include a longer description about the Näck.

(  Reins made of silver and bridle of gold/ The horses stood stamping like lions upon ground/ And the Näck drove to the fair maiden’s yard/ That man he shone, he shone just like the sun )

Been spending most of the afternoon writing a school assignment about Clipper (sells pretty good tea, ya know. We had to write A4 evaluation about a company that has a good company image (mostly from a visual point of view) and this one came to mind. Would have printed my image samples too but scanner is being...stupid, as usual. Haha, I'd fall for this in a flash if...I actually lived in the UK. *sadface*

Alas, now I want tea. :'< Have a little bit of this one forget-what-brand lemon-ginger infusion tea left, which I didn't like at first but now want MOAR. X'3
Althought...what DOES "infusion" actually mean anyways =3= *ponders*
EDIT: Ok I googled it, and yes, apparently it's tea...without the actual TEA in it. Well, that suits me just fine. :D
I know Clipper's Chai is excellent but I've bored myself of it for a while already. Maybe I should try some white tea, could be nice.

And then I answered my RP threads just in case the internet is still unoperational at home. But. I'd better go soon anyway. >3>;

Title: Troubling Occurrence
Warnings Summary: Finland trying to act like a good wife, is very frightening.

Notes: So, 6th of November is Swedish Day in Finland. Need I say more?
Furthermore, in case you're not Finnish and believing me either: Salmiakki-chili cookies, for real.
Alas, I had too little time to make anything better than this, I'm rather embarrassed... >//>;

Fake cut to fanworks journal, watch out for the large pic

Haha, now I've been working on this single invitation from nine to five...and some things are still a bit unclear. But if all goes well, we can send it to be printed tomorrow morning. *knocks on wood*

Last weekend, besides being failtastic and not working on a certain exchange fic I was invited to a "Girl's Night" by a nice girl I assisted on a project last semester.

There was tasty foods, cheap fabrics (and other...similar stuff) for sale aand...girltalk, I suppose. Was very enthusiastic about the food after a week spent eating noodles end of month=out of money, as usual. Paella with actual chicken! And skewered meat! And fresh salad and...I'D ♥
Mm. Anyway, it was nice meeting new people too. :D

The most Halloween-ish thing that night was the bright almost-full moon. :9

Translated the Finnish folk song "Matalii ja Mustii" by Värttinä (From their album Seliniko) for someone :9

Could only find a live version on Y.T., but it's not TOO bad. >_>;

Also, apparently the song was used in a children's cartoon called Arthur in America. I wonder if they included the lyrics. If so, oh my...I'D
( snip for lyrics )

Had to buy some materials for rusalkai's present...happy birthday, btw! :D
Therefore, I left home and while in the little center of Kirkkonummi community, decided to pop through the library too.

Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things, which is a collection of short stories. Didn't borrow it when I'm leaving to another city after the weekend, but I was curious about the first short story, A Study in Emerald having heard it's...ahah, fanfic. :3
Specifically, Sherlock Holmes/H.P.Lovecraft crossover. X3

Well, I believe I grinned like a fool all the way to the train station and then some, because that story was just...damn cool. ¤3¤
I do so love surprises...t'was a neat trick he did there. :D

Digging out fics I've been meaning to post/repost. EDIT: Eeh, plotbunnies, stop it with the ganging up~ My concentration always totally sucks on holidays, dammit :'<

Warnings: Possibly incorrect portrayal of a historical event, FLUFF. Pairing tag only because it's one of my favorite OTP3's, whether THIS particular fic is very shippy or not.

Notes: Based on this event.
Original is in comments here, accompanied by a picture of Gilbert and cake, graciously drawn by kakkobean. If you can't see it, I recommend joining lolsogeographic. ^_^;

I've planned this for...for ages! I said you could come with to visit Austria too, not to bring half your people with you!

( cut for babble about silly dreams )

Right now, I want to write fic. Or bake/buy something sweet. Only I'm failing at getting started with either.orz I'''S

EDIT: Say, no-one would happen to remember a Good Omens ficlet (?) about the Genesis Flood in which it's raining holy water and hence Aziraphale needing to shield Crowley from it? Because I kind of want to borrow the idea but can't remember the details to make mine different enough. And of course have no recollection who wrote it or anything helpful. :

Not much of it this year so far, but let's reminisce.

flourite_roses wanted to see snow.
( but the best I could do was this picspam )

I'm once again stuck in that useless limbo where I've given up on schoolwork, but haven't yet managed to abandon the freezing MAC classroom for the cold outdoors.

Did I mention first snow/slush fell yesterday? Maybe next week I'll get winter shoes too, since mom promised to budget. I'D

( Cut for being too boring )

Another fun meme brought to you by rfreebern.

Toothbrush, onee-chan? I-it's just because you care for my teeth, rite? Rite? ; 3 ;
LOL. But what IS a nugget, if we're talking about candy anyways? =3=
Furthermore...heh, tastes of EVIL. Awesome. ID



So, I sent in two posters to the people who'd ordered them yesterday, and after making some changes today I...think they're probably done. Phew. *relieved*
Now I only need to worry about the schoolwork due on monday...or tuesday at the latest. Already have a feeling it won't be my best ever, which is a bit of a pity considering it's for a competition...but eh, don't really care. :P

Ha! Have at last gotten my fanworksjournal properly together. ¤3¤/
Welcome to bunnyfication~ ♥

*ahem*
( What I have learned in the process )
( Also, yesterday I went to see Ponyo. )
On the way there, I found an American coin. One Cent, to be precise (...I wonder if the 1973 on one side is a minting date or...what? =3=). Hee. ♥

But to return to ficcage, decided to post something "new" to the new place as well (newly unanoned, anyways)

Title: Mirror
Fandom, charaters: Hetalia, Prussia, Italy and Germany
Warnings: Men in drag(Ludwig), sex, Gilbert being a perv, incest, vaguely drawn nazi uniform and experimentative use of personal pronouns *sigh* Not necessarily in that order.

Summary: Ludwig wants to be good at anything he does. The best he can. But some things...you can't be good at them and also good at other things.

Feliciano stood there, frozen in the middle of a crowded room as if struck by a spell. And then the crowd parted like the sea before a holy command, and he could see the stage. The stage and the woman singing.

Ahahahaha...trying to post ALL your fanart and fanfic ever is...unsurprisingly a lot of WORK. And also stressfull. I''''D

A-and why isn't that last cut working~ *cries*
To hell with it, I give up (for now)
Also, those of you who were nice and friended bunnyfication already...feel free to defriend for now, I don't want to kill all your flists with repost spam. :'/

Choose five series (no peeking before you choose them), list them, and then answer the questions behind the cut.

1. Saiyuki
2. Samurai Champloo
3. Axis Powers Hetalia
4. Lovely Complex
5. Good Omens
One of these fandoms is not like the others...lolz I'D
( TEH CUUUUUT )

Title: The New Kid
Fandom, charaters: Hetalia (sooort of?) Finland + Historical Finnish Province-tans.
Warnings: Realism, what's that? Also, depictions of provinces are...partially inspired by Zacharias Topelius's Maamme kirja, which was published in 1875 and partially on my own personal stereotypes. I'm aware stereotypes =/= reality. I hope I don't cause too much insult to anyone, and am very sorry if I do. It certainly isn't my intention. *bow*

Summary: Finland isn't sure who he is, so he asks his elders.
Notes: Some relevant links (in English): About the old stereotypes. And the Historical provinces by Wikipedia.
Now, I realize a few people are missing...pretend Åland wasn't born yet was sulking, and Nyland had just had a fight with Satakunta and was ignoring her existence...or something. OTL
EDIT: Almost forgot. Dedicated to mwuuh whose post reminded me I had this lying about and gave me a reason to finish it. ♥

( You don't understand your big sister Savo anymore, is that it? Poor thing...what sort of Finnish have you been teaching him anyways, Nyland? )
