Meme snagged from sureasdawn

1. Reply to this post with “Batshit!Sasuke” and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload) five (or more) songs you love that begin with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

Let’s see, this is hard~ D: Since sureasdawn specifically stated B for Batshit!Sasuke, I’ll start off with a song that reminds me just how emotionally constipated he is 8D

♥ Breathe into me - RED: GAH. I just love how in-your-face and just-watch-me-fall-apart it is. The lyrics are goddamn awesome, very emotive and that final scream at the end doesn’t take away from the song at all - it adds to how messed up the person is.

♥ Beautiful - Trading Yesterday: Man, this band. Just sdkjflhfl. I love the simple composition, the even simpler guitar-strumming and the lyrics♥ Simplicity=Beauty, hell yeah. It’s just one of those songs you can nod along to when you’re in a particularly positive mood. Listening to this song just makes everything seem beautiful, yes.

♥ Beat it - Michael Jackson: Oh, why yes, I WENT THERE. >8D I don’t care what people think of him - I just love that he sort of brought his own flair to the music industry; his personal life, his history really doesn’t matter to me. Beat it is undoubtedly MJ’s most popular tracks along with Earth Song, Thriller, Bad, Smooth Criminal, Black or White etc, etc, and even after listening to this song for a decade and a half, it doesn’t get old. May he keep rocking on in pop heaven♥

♥ Best I ever had - Vertical Horizon: Alternately called Grey Sky Morning, this song is slow, but it has that perfectly synchronized rhythm, like, uh, tak-taak-tak in the tabla, oh, I’m making a lot of sense now, aren’t I? DX, that you can just drown in. I love the heart-wrenching “It’s not so bad” chorus; it’s perfectly timed and isn’t disruptive; it perfectly blends in with the singer’s voice and GAH, the entire song just has a ~flow~♥

♥ Breath - Breaking Benjamin: I have no idea where the band gets its name from, but the titles they choose for their songs are entirely appropriate. From their album Phobia, Diary of Jane is an absolute favorite what with all that unleashed anger but Breath comes a close second~ It just has that characteristic Breaking Benjamin feel to it. 8D

♥ Banana Pancakes - Jack Johnson: Lol, this song is a severe contradiction in that it manages to be upbeat and lazy at the same time. And quite fun, too. XD It makes me want to curl up in bed on winter mornings and never get, and at the same time, makes me want be active, grab a coffee and an ipod and go for a run even though it’s freezing outside. Strangely, it reminds me of Shikamaru as well. XD

♥ Better Than Me - Hinder: This song and I have a love-love relationship because I sort-of-kind-of-bot-really-but-still adore the “You deserve much better than me” theme that often comes up in relationships; but more than that, I just fucking love the singer’s voice~ Natural and husky without being pretentious.

♥ Break the ice - Britney Spears: …I don’t even know, okay, don’t look at me like that. DX I-I just find it a great tracked to swing to when I get smashed and giddy and utterly ridiculous with equally ridiculous friends and friends of friends./shot

Holiday Gift Wish Meme

Step One:

- Make a post to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related (fics, picspams, fanmixes) to medium (dvds, books, bracelets, etc) to really big (a new computer, a car, etc). The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want. - If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your e-mail address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

Step Two:

- Surf around your reading list to see who has posted their list. If you see a wish you can grant, go for it! Either make that fandom item, or hey sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to give and to receive. There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just... wish and try to fill and you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Ugh, I--- I actually do not know why I’m doing this. I’m a considerably cheerful person, and I have everything I want, really, and I’m really just happy communicating with you guys and sending you all positive thought vibes♥ The only thing I can think of wanting at the moment is that this fever-cough-headache-cough-sniffles-syndrome would GO AWAY.

…But, I can think of ten more things 8D I should be shot for being greedy XD

1) … But I honestly have no idea Lesseeee. The thing I’m craving most at the moment: a picspam. Of any pairing, any team, any character, whether it be something as flufftastic as Team 7 sharing an umbrella on the way home on a wet day, or as hot and raunchy as them getting it on in a not-so-secluded alley somewhere. *___* Any combination of Team 7, Akatsuki, and all the others teams and their uncles are welcome. Hell, even Tsunade/Sasuke is welcome. Mikoto/Kakashi, too. yeah, I don’t know either DX

I’d love to see art from Inori or 10Rankai or amazing fanartists like orin, pet911 and loika and nami86 and others.

Fandoms other than Naruto are welcome too - Blood+, Bleach, Nodame, Durarara!!, Soul Eater, NANA, Rurouni Kenshin, Totally Captivated, Dear Green, etc, etc, etc~ because I’m suddenly feeling nostalgic/interactive/squishy (yes, squishy.)

Do so, and I’ll spam you as well with much love, f-list?

2) Iconssss<333 I’d love if you could make me an icon (you know my tastes, already, but do ask if not) - any icon, maybe something that makes me go aww, something make me go whyyyy ;__; or something that has me ROFL hahha >8D; Even something that has me staring at it just because of how it was done; or, if not, I’d even be glad to talk about icons - like what textures you use for them, if there is a particular method you always apply when making them, which part of a fabulously pretty picture you often get conflicted about cropping, whether you like your icons bright or matte, what kind of texts you like to scribble on it - like I said, anything.

3) Fic. One-liners. Drabbles. Vignettes. Yes, I’ve been craving some fic lately. It doesn’t have to anything fabulous, just something that’d make me want to hug you♥ Something like smut Fics recs would be worshiped 8D I was especially looking for the following:

SasuNaru - something out of the ordinary ‘they-get-hot-and-heavy-without-reason-because-that’s-just-how-they-are’ Canon doesn’t think so XD To be specific, I was looking for something that depicts a mellow, calm, slowly developing relationship - like in Dear Green. Blind!Sasuke fics would be much adored, as would be abstract pieces, or some that just have… really nice prose./~sigh<33~

SasuSaku - Something on par with Regret Not a Thing, and nothing that has A Sakura I Cannot Recognise. Because no, she isn’t unusually witty, or quirky, no, she isn’t a stand-in for the author, no, she’s not helpless and yes, she will mess up Sasuke’s pretty face someday and then drag Naruto into the mess and they’ll both ravish him together, it’s CANON, dammit. And no, Sasuke isn’t a hormone-driven sex-kitten. I want a Sakura much like the Sakura in Ripples even though she was much, much more awesome and believable in RNAT♥

NaruSaku - Anything, because I cannot find NaruSaku good!fic anywhere. Or at least, not ones that do not involve them turning in Super Saiyans Sannin and not ones that have either Sakura or Naruto beheading Sasuke without a second thought. I mean… wat? O__O

ItaSasu - Because I’ve searched and searched and come up with nothing. Preferably AU high-school!fic./cough.

Other than that, feel free to rec any fic, preferably gen!fic that has left you speechless. Introspection!fic on the Hyuuga family would be ♥

Anything that has a touch of the Edo period, or a fantasy world would be awesome as well, kthanxbai.

(A-and can someone find me this fic that Iruka working under the Beta Division of Konoha? Leading a double life, keeping up a perfect façade, getting close to the demon vessel, and passing on information to the higher-ups? There was some KakaIru in there, too, and I do remember the line “When you live a lie for too long, the lie becomes you.”

It was just… chilling. Chilling, I tell you. I haven’t been able to look at him the same ever since; Iruka is- oh my god. I can’t even-)

4) Rec me a strong female character, in any media, on par with the women from Fullmetal Alchemist, especially Olivier Milla Armstrong. This is me asking for the impossible, isn’t it?

5) Tell me your favourite childhood memory. Where you spent your childhood, how you spent it, something that’ll make me want to pinch your cheeks. If that’s too personal, then just talking about your writing, or drawing. I’d love to hear about what you love to write/draw, your motivations even though as a fanficitonist/fanartist you’re not making any profit from it. Anything regarding your craft is fine~

6) Doujin recs~♥ SasuNaru DJs like Taiyou no Sumika (Residence of the Sun). Or Sasuke-centric ones, like Guiding Light. Some excellent SasuSaku/NejiHina doujins, or ItaSasu doujins, because there are so few of them. I’ve been looking for that SasuSaku doujin called Citrus Lovers by Emi (10 Rankai) everywhere, and I have not found it anywhere. D: A-A hand here please?

7) A picture of where you live. Your garden. Your parking lot. The shed in the back. Somewhere snowy *___* Maybe the local Starbucks or that new food court that opened up down the road. A public park. Or the library you go to. Pictures of something you made, of your handwriting (yes, handwriting) or the book you’re reading now.

8) And this is probably the most urgent wish I’ll mention on this post: I need a beta reader for a fic I’ve been writing since forever. It is 2nd person, present tense because yes, I’ve officially fallen off the deep end. I need someone who’s used to my writing style, who’d used to present tense, who’ll scold me and tell me to dammit, stop whining and just finish it already, you have 10k words to go. Leave sorting out the unintelligible crap to me, and I’ll get the detergent and tell you how to wash off all the grime. This would be the best Christmas gift ever.

It’ll probably be a tedious task, dealing with this especially since Christmas is around the corner, but it would be a great help even if you could rec someone who’d manage some time in between. DX

9) A letter from you to me, typed obviously, about anything and everything and nothing.♥ Either via e-mail, or PM, or right here, anonymously if you want.

10) Promise me you’ll make the best of Christmas this year, and start the next year as positive as you can be. It’s the time to be merry~ so tell me when you/if you already have made this post and I’ll see if I can put a smile, however small, on your face.

That said, did I mention that this is officially my first Christmas ever? We really don't celebrate Christmas here but why not, all those gifts gone to waste D: so I'm a little bit excited and a lot nervous, wondering if I should brush up on my Christmas carols. D:

<333 from moi.

ETA: Songs will be uploaded tomorrow. My eyelids feel like they weigh a ton. -.-Zzz
