Blind_go is always at a horrible time of year for me!! Screw you Children's Day!!!! (am a horrible person)

[blue_cage]

There's always the September round~!

[flonnebonne]

Admittedly the September round is much better for me! Okay, I will stop whining now. :D I just kind of wanted to say "Screw you Children's Day!!!!"

[blue_cage]

We'll move Children's day, just for you! *switches dates around* xD

[kitsune_jade]

Goddamn. Why did I sign-up again?

Seriously, I really wish I end up submitting at least one fic this round.

*sobs*

[verloren1983]

Because you love us? :D

[kitsune_jade]

I just can't stay away from Hikago. *flails*

Okay, guys, I have a thought. This is very obviously self serving- but I'm hoping that other people can be helped in the process. ^_^;;;

I am probably not the only writer who's pinged by music. When I'm trying to go bunny hunting, I pull up a playlist for whatever I'm trying to write. Sometimes even one line of a song can prompt something completely unrelated.

But so far, for this particular round, I'm having a hard time coming up with songs that could work for a playlist- aside from the few standard instrumental songs that are on every writing playlist, Hikago music of course, and "I'm Just a Kid" by Simple Plan. XD

My proposal is this: if you can think of anything that might possibly be even a little appropriate for the Childhood theme, put it here. (Links would be awesome too, if you're so inclined.) Maybe we can all lure some bunnies, yeah? :D

[hostilecrayon]

Hmm... this is such a hard one, really. The ones that come to mind aren't really appropriate lol. Like Don't Take The Girl by Tim McGraw

Here's another good list: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/songs-about-growing-up.html

HOW DID I FORGET BLACK DRESSES?! IT'S ONE OF MY TWO FAVORITE SONGS BY THE SPILL CANVAS. OH GOD FAIL. ETERNAL FAIL. It's my freaking favorite band, damn it. >.>;

Goodbyes are said and roses thrown
And the crowd starts to weep
But the irony of the story is when I fell to my knees
And began clawing at the dirt in front of the tombstone
Of my bashful childhood
With you by my side, you're screaming at the
Top of your lungs, "let it go"
And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
"The ceremony was not proper, there was not enough people,
And who picked the music?
Those melodies almost made me physically sick"

OH GOD I LOVE IT.

EDIT: Am I the only one who sees the Hikaru and Akira scene in front of Shuusaku's tomb here? >.>;

To sign up or not to sign up...

I am out of ideas for "Childhood" though!

[trixie_chick]

Sign up! *iz shameless*

Seriously, though, inspiration might totally strike at an odd moment. You don't lose anything by signing up! ^_~

[hostilecrayon]

I just posted a ton of Childhood themed song names in the comment above yours. XD

[blue_cage]

Signup Tari~! *wibbles*
