Fanmix Woes

Staying up way too late reading the Sherlock Kink Meme and assembling a fanmix when I was supposed to be getting homework done.

Ended up with several pages of Sherlock prompts I want to write, lots of fun smutty bookmarks, and 60+ songs on a playlist. Not a lot of homework got done today. Some, but not enough. Also it's now 2am and I need to take a shower and wash my breakfast dishes.
I whittled the fanmix down to 46 songs without too much difficulty ... but now it's hard. 46 songs is too long for a fanmix, but cutting them is going to be so hard because they're all so appropriate for the gang!

Stupid SadPanda's Nomad Clan. Stupid elaborate backstories I helped create. Stupid vampires, stop keeping me up! *headdesk*

Also for some reason really cutesy love songs somehow made their way into this fanmix. The fanmix is not all about SadPanda and the Cat! I tentatively titled it "The Panda and The Cat" because it sounded cool and I wanted a placeholder that sounded better than "SadPanda's Nomad's Fanmix," I am not making a gigantic ode to heterosexual vampire love between a 17th century poisoner and a modern adorable twenty-something chick. They were just easiest to find songs for. Ed Glaser and Phelous are proving nigh-impossible, and I've got some weird-ass music, people so that's really saying something. 
Speaking of poison, I have only three Jill Tracy songs in my iTunes, but somehow they ALL ended up on this fanmix. Lady knows her twisted Victorian-eque moods, yo. 

Hang on, I have no idea what she looks like *imagines Emilie Autumn but even moreso* I should google Jill Tracy! *does so*

... hot dayum. She looks like a woman trying to look like a drag queen! (That didn't come out right, but I don't know how else to describe her.) Which is to say: VERY relevant to my interests! *swoons accordingly*

Wait a minute, didn't I have homework to do or something?

Ah, don't worry. I think procrastination is just a natural part of being a citizen of the internet. Whether we're writing, making fanmixes, or whatever, procrastinating on those pesky "real life" projects seems to come naturally to us. ^^

But you think you're having a hard time with that? Try getting distracted by homework by planning out an entire TGWTG über-complex (compared to what I usually write) fic for next month's NaNoWriMo and your skills at accurate characterization for these guys suck, while in the back of your mind, you know you have huge papers to write for a few AP classes. Yeah, that makes things really interesting. O_O'

Anyway, good luck with getting your stuff done. :D

Speaking of women trying to be drag queens, I should probably tell you Trekkiegirl's Halloween costume from two years ago.

Oh my ... are there pictures? This sounds awesome!

Speaking of crossdressing, tonight I went to see the RHPS live, and it was amazing. I'm still picking rice out of my hair and now I don't want to go to sleep because I'm so wound up.

She's got pictures somewhere, yes. But that's actually not all; she dressed up as a bad drag queen, as in stubble and a visible package, too.

Oh my ... that's just plain awesome.
(I grew up around drag queens, so they make me feel nostalgic and happy inside.)
Last night Dr. Frank-N-Furter was played by a chick with some socks stuffed down her panties, and she totally owned the part.

God I am so late to this entry's party aren't I?


lol, I am kinda courious what songs are in the fanmixes you had in mind. ;) Especially the "cutesy love songs" between a 17th century poisoner and a 21st century adorable twenty-something girl XD

I am flattered that I could even inspire a fanmix or two and if you ever need any suggestions for songs for anyone message me :)
