Musical Gallery: Song 2: Stupid Grin by Dragonette


You're gonna get it this time
You'll regret it this time
I'm gonna strike at the right time later
Now I've got the muscle
I've got time to tussle
I've got the time to teach a lesson,
You've been messin'

I've got something for you
Something special for you
No huggin' and kisses
This is business now

I'm all better just thinking about
When you come home I'm gonna lock you out
And you show up with that stupid grin
And I just let your love in

There won't be any warning
First thing in the morning
I'm gonna tell you see you later alligator
Instead of all my loving, you won't be getting nothing
That's tough, wake up and smell the muffin

You're looking out at a future that might never exist
I'm thinking of all the ways of getting over it
Well maybe I should be swimming from the sinking ship
‘Cause I've been screaming and shouting
And so down about it till now

I'm all better just thinking about
When you wake up, I'm gonna punch you out
And you roll over with that stupid grin
And I just let your love in

I can't get away because I did it again
I'm not sticking with it ‘cause of thick and thin
But all because of that stupid grin
I just let your love in

No I can't say no, no no no no
No no she can't say no no no no no
I just let your love in
No no she can't say no no no no no
I just let your love in
No no she can't say no no no no no

And I'm just
Looking out at a future that might never exist
I'm thinking of all the ways of getting over it
Well maybe I should be swimming from a sinking ship
‘Cause I've been screaming and shouting
And so down about it till now

I'm all better just thinking about
When you come home I'm gonna kick you out
And you show up with that stupid grin
And I just let your love in

I can't get away because I did it again
I'm not sticking with it cause of thick and thin
But all because of that stupid grin
I just let your love in

No I can't say no, no no no no
I just let your love in
No, no, I can't say no, uh oh uh oh
I just let your love in
No, no I can't say no, uh oh uh oh
I just let your love in
No I can't say no, uh oh uh oh
I Just let your love in

I've been busy... avoiding what I'm supposed to be doing ;)

I've done a lot of pics today soo figured I'd show them off.


First is my Static entry:



Long story short the aliens have been abducted by the humans.


Next, I did my pic for mythology.  I really love it, because it seems kind of out of the norm for the comp:


That in turn inspired me to make a new avi:


And an entry for the Unbound banner comp:


Sooo yeah when the time comes... vote for me please xD j/k vote for who you want ;)

All this today when I should have been cleaning house ;)  What a productive day.

Musical Gallery: Song 1: Aqueous Transmission by Incubus




I'm floating down a river
Oars freed from their holds long ago
Lying face up on the floor of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river named emotion
Will I make it back to shore
Or drift into the unknown

Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river

I'm building an antenna
Transmissions will be sent when I am through
Maybe we could meet again further down the river
And share what we both discovered...
Then revel in the view

Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river

I'm floating down a river
I'm floating down a river
I'm floating down a river
I'm floating down a river

A Little Challenge

Soooo I have decided to slowly back out of the modeling world, and as I might have mentioned to some of you, and might have even mentioned on the blog here... whenever I get the itch to do a picture, I'm going to create a picture based on a song that inspires me.  One reason I have this idea is because there are sooo many songs that just put such beautiful imagery in my mind when I hear them and they do inspire me.  I have already done one because though I'm sorta short on time I've just been itching to do it!  (Besides, Cel asked me to xD)  I'll post it on the next blog entry, because though it didn't turn out nearly as cool as I wanted it to turn out, I love the song and just want the blog posts with these songs to be their own entries.  I'll post the shot, a video, and the lyrics (if there are lyrics).  (Maybe not in that order Idk.)

The thing is, I would love to kind of challenge you guys if you want to take the same songs once in a while and try your own spin.  I REALLY would like to see your own take on them.  I don't want to score them... Sometimes I get tired of taking something that is beautiful and picking it apart.  I just want to enjoy your sim art.  However understandably, people usually would like some motivation to do a picture... some kind of reward for their hard work.  I thought about offering store items in return for pics, but I know a lot of you um... don't necessarily need gifts from the store to obtain things if you get my drift.  Soooo if anyone has any ideas of how I could motivate people to join in on this fun then please let me know!


By the way at least one thing I will do is feature your pics on my blog... so at least there is that ;)  Also even at least as a spectator you might be introduced to some pretty nifty music. :D



Soooo thanks to Bliss this is going to be advertised in her Newspaper and I'll also be starting a thread on Unbound, so if you want to participate I have several ways of submitting:


  • Commenting on this blog
  • PM at Unbound or Symlish
  • Email ( amaryllis1024@yahoo.com )

Demons Finale

Seduction


A yuppie... just another yuppie who valued money over the real things in life. She never had children... because they were too expensive. She never married... didn't want to share her daddy's wealth, but for Lisa there was a faint unhappiness that she locked away in a box. This all too common feeling of "something missing" was usually kept at bay until Shyam found Lisa. After time, Shyam had discovered her ability to influence the emotions of those near her, and Lisa was (in a way) her first kill. Sure, Lisa's final thrust off the balcony of her daddy's vacation home was on her own, but the emotional push.. the seduction into suicide... was Shyam's doing.






Revolution





Lisa was Shyam's last kill. The immediate reaction was a triumphant hysterical laugh. But as the night progressed, Shyam began to feel no different than the murderer behind the angry souls inside of her. She wondered around the dark lonely night, when she heard a man yelling, 
"Hey! You!"
She looked around and saw the man, no one else. He was also looking straight at her.


"Can you see me?" she asked. She didn't want to get her hopes up, but the idea of someone she could talk to made her heart flutter.


"Yes. Who are you? Eerr... what are you?"


That was her first introduction to a one Adrian Mills, the only human she knew who could see her. She grew really close to him, and before long she even confided about her murders, and how she felt afterward.


"You're a slave to the angry souls within you." he said.
"But Adrian... I am nothing without them. They are the reason I was created," she replied.


"True, Shyam, but they don't have to be the reason you still exist."


Shyam decided at this moment that he was right. However this revolt against the angry souls would not be easy. Usually a revolution was many against one, and it was still difficult. Shyam's revolution was one against many. An anguished expression appeared on her face as she fought her inner "demons" and they slowly gave in, leaving her pained existance.

MIA, stomach bug, and an elimination

oooo I've kind of been around, but not really.  Seems my time online has been limited.  Husband has been having company over a lot and then my Grandmother fell ill, not to mention I've been picking up overtime shifts (which really I don't usually do). NOW I finally have some time off work.. and maybe its a blessing in disguise but I've got a stomach bug.

Anyway I really need to get on my feet with life anyway.  I'm backing out of comps anyway... I need to work on my body.  I'm climbing up in weight.  Need to get my house in order, I'm trying to find a new job that doesn't have my body's clock completely out of whack.  I still really wanna host canvas C2, but it's going to take a while to get my bearings straight.  Want to be prepared so once I do start it it'll be smooth sailing.

I'd post comp pics, but I haven't really done any I've been proud of lately.  I liked my pic for inspiration except for the posing.  I worked hours and hours trying to find something... I just ended up giving up when my main model had something decent.  It ended up being my first ever elimination.  I've always either made it to the finale, the comp was cancelled, or like.. once or twice I dropped.  I guess I could post that then, since it's kinda special in an odd way lol:


But it was a deserved elimination.  I was up against some hard core talent and I can't wait to see what the rest have in store for us <3

Anyway going to attempt to work on SNTM, but if I feel any sicker I'm going to throw in the towel, take some phenergan and forget the next 9 hours because that stuff knocks me out cold lol.
