Took a break from lesson plans & checking to write this.

[izkariote]

The more I settle into teaching, the more I realize the value of these free days where I can kick back and do my work at home at a leisurely pace. It's semi-disturbing, though... I actually had a dream about how tomorrow will go. Like, I apparently wasn't able to get my materials together for a formal lesson, so I gave a free cut for my En11 classes and bundled in a long assignment in anticipation of the long weekend that they'll have. @_@

God. I am such a dork. Even my dreams are mundane these days. ~_~

Now, to make this post more interesting, I have stuff to share.

---

1. Reply to THIS post, and I will select four or five of your userpics that I like.
2. Make a entry and talk about the icons I have chosen.
3. Other people will then comment on your entry and you will do the same as I have done for you.
4. Thus creating a NEVER ENDING of icon squee.



This one's Lelouch in Zero!Mode, from Code Geass... it's one of the best ones that I have in my ridiculously huge icon repository, and I don't plan on changing it anytime soon. ISN'T IT SPARKLY? It has broken many fangirl brains so far.


Here's Namine (and Kairi's lower body) from Kingdom Hearts. I figure that since I have the icon space, I might as well put up a space for all of my vaguely (or extremely) lezzie shots. This one doesn't exactly count as girl shagging, but it's pretty, isn't it?


Xaxnus raeping and Squalo from Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I was inspired by yukitsu to have a "kimoi" (creepy in the stalker-ish way) section on my icon space, and this is the first one that I've decided to use~


I collect icons of boobsy girls because I am a pervert at heart. This one, though, is particularly interesting... unless I'm getting my sources wrong, this is fanart of gender-switched!Guan Yu from Dynasty Warriors. HE MAKES SUCH AN AWESOME BABE.


Hibari and Mukuro from Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I don't read this pair very often, and it took me a while to warm up to the fanon for it, but hey, it's Reborn. Reborn's a fucking orgy through and through.


A lot of you guys have done this meme already, so feel free to ignore it. 8D

Battle Mix: State of Emergency
Songs for any battlefield in any multi-verse.

30 Seconds to Mars - Edge of the Earth
Stand out on the edge of the earth / Dive into the center of fate / Walk right inside of the gun / Look into the new future's face

...Srsly. There are times when I wonder if 30 Seconds to Mars makes their music with science fiction/fantasy scenarios in mind. Their tracks are always perfect for stuff like this.


65daysofstatic - The Fall of Math

Here's more instrumental goodness from 65daysofstatic. Imagine a chase scene, skyscrapers and endless blue skies when you're listening to this one.


9mm Parabliuem Bullet - Wanderland
Sorry, the lyrics for this one are hard to come by.

Grammar Nazis on my flist, try not to let your principles get in the way of downloading this one... it's a short and catchy track. Some of you guys may be familiar with it too, since it's the opening theme for Real Dive Sennou Chosashitsu, Production I.G.'s latest TV series.


A Perfect Circle - Annihilation
From dehumanization to arms production / For the benefit of the nation or its destruction / Power is power, the law of the land / And those living for death will die by their own hand

I'll let the lyrics speak for itself.


Breaking Benjamin - Blow Me Away
Only the strongest will survive, / Lead me in heaven when we die, / I have a shadow on the wall, / I'll be the one to save us all.


This track is single-handedly responsible for making me curious about Halo. It can be found on the soundtrack for the second game, and it's the best one there, IMHO.


Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex - Run Rabbit Junk
Can't dig up reliable lyrics for this one. Sorry!

Yoko Kanno is the Soundtrack Goddess when it comes ot anime, and even though I'm not a fan of of the GITS:SAC television series, I'd be a fool to deny how beautiful its music is.



Links to previous mixes:
Love Songs Mix: The Last Love Songs on Earth (Set One)
Special Mix: Sadface Songs - The Polite Version (Set One) || Set Two

Flist folks, can you let me know which manga series I've been pimping so that I know what to upload? I know I mentioned Wild Adapter, Katekyo Hitman Reborn! and Kizuna to a couple of you, and I would like to share the love~

On other news, there's an announcement up at stitchedophelia regarding writerly things. I know I still owe a lot of you guys fics.

Icons!

B| Your life, Pammeth, it is full of the academic world. *shakes Ateneo* Give Pammeth back! ... Or at least give her some time to write porn. :3

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

...Should I take that as an invitation to pick five of your icons for squeeing? o_o

YEAH I REALLY WOULDN'T MIND SOME TIME TO WRITE porn SUBSTANTIAL FIC THINGS.

[yukitsu.livejournal.com]

Go ahead. 8D

B| Go write!

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

Can't write yet. There are papers to check and readings to read!

[aflyingteapot]

Ohoh, downloading some of the songs <3

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

Yay~ I'm taking advantage of my connection and uploading as much as I can today, but I'll be posting them over a long period of time. 8D

[annotate.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEE HAVE I SAID HOW MUCH I LIKE YOUR MUSIC POSTS, BECAUSE YOU HAVE GREAT MUSIC.

Also 65daysofstatic my god that song is like- one of my writing song for 13YLs HAHAFLKSDJF also downloaded the Breaking Benjamin song and the A Perfect Circle song these are GREAT FOR WRITING KHR FIC TO THANK YOU ♥ ♥

...One day I shall attempt to make a music post, haha.

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

13YLs????

WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS ON YOUR LJ. ...Or is it because I haven't read well enough? ;__;

You and I should talk. I have this massive TYL thing in mind, but I haven't gotten around to writing it yet!

[annotate.livejournal.com]

Uhhhhhhh haha, um, well- it's actually from khrdressingroom, and a bunch of us decided to roleplay as 13YL versions of Gokudera, Yamamoto, Hibari, Ryohei and Byakuran. I could- link you to their profiles, if you're interested?

Haha, some of our logs were- pretty epic, it was fun. But, yeah, TYL's a really fun setting to play around in.

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

I WISH TO SEE THOSE LINKS.

I totally agree. @ TYL being fun to play around with. 8D My TYL universe is going to be set in the new TYL that'll come out as a result of what's currently going on in the manga. Since I don't have the time to write it, I've just been keeping myself updated with the manga and taking notes.

[annotate.livejournal.com]

Well- I'd- kind of have to go searching a lot for the actual logs (wouldn't take me very long, though), but for now, I'll just point you to the profiles?

fermarsi
formarsi
armarsi
risvegliare
trionfare

All of them are different, so they're probably worth a look at. If you're still interested, I could dig up some of the logs- I know I might've got the links- uh- somewhere, haha.

Whoa, the new TYL-- that's really interesting! So it can be like, how much did they manage to change, did they even change anything, that sort of thing. You really should write it, I'd like to see how it turns out. ♥

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

Coolness. I'll check this out the next time I've got some hours to kill. X3

Y-yeah... the original plan was to focus solely on 8059, but then it sorta expanded into a multi-pairing universe thing. ~_~ The only thing I've managed to do so far is the script for a D18 doujin that an artist friend of mine will illustrate. I'll definitely post when I have more stuff!

[keio.livejournal.com]

Meme me! X3

You have my limitless admiration for being able to keep up with fandom besides hacking away at Real Life Level. @_@ I swear I can almost see them battering away at my brain (Gaara's the most vicious), but work casts a Wall from whence I stare back at them, because they're muted D:

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

I have this sniggling feeling that the only reason why I'm able to keep up now is because things have just begun. ~_~ I sure hope that that isn't the case.

Anyway, icons:

[la-esperance.livejournal.com]

Check out Within Temptation. Some of their songs are epic...like you can actually visualize a grand fight scene or may be put it in the teaser for a sci-fi/fantasy flick.

My personal favorites are "Jillian", "Forsaken" and "Angels", although Forsaken is the mother of all epic songs by this band.

There's a vid somewhere in youtube, a fanvid of "Angels" using clips from X/1999. I laughed when I saw it because the lyrics was perfect for it. haha.

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have the Within Temptation discography. I'll be uploading some of their tracks in the other mixes. :3

[lethologica.livejournal.com]

Battle music FTW!!!

Sometimes I think, posts like this are the only means for me to get to know new music o__O

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, I can relate to that. I don't even listen to the radio these days, so all the stuff I dig up is from my flist, random downloading on websites and BT. 8D
