Posting about One Thing

[wishfulclicking]

It's been some days since I last posted, and though I have been online (wishfulclicking on AIM); but I just missed you guys.

bandombigbang is back! Guys, I lack the words to convey the level of my excitement! People should sign up, that's all I'm saying. You could write....mix....art. I signed up for mixing (which you guys know I've been hype about for months, because I am a dork) and I signed up for writing (send me positive thoughts....is there a support group?).

So some thoughts on bbb :)

* It's different now that I'm actually active in the fandom. I didn't make this journal until April of 08 (I think) and I just found bigbang through someone's post and then I searched for it and I just knew I wanted to be around when it started. I signed up to mix because that was all I felt even comfortable attempting, and even then I was so nervous that the author would hate my mix and try to act nice about it. Now, I actually have people on my f-list and they're talking about summaries, so now I can actually guess who wrote what.

*Still way excited for mixing. I don't know guys, there's something about intensely reading a story and matching a perfect song for it. I just love it. I create mixes for stories that don't even exist. I know that I'm going to try and find a story that I have music for. Yes, I am listening to music that I don't usually or albums that got lost in the shuffle, so I can have a good mix.

*Is it just me, or are there more participants? It just seems like there are so many more people, and I'm super excited for that. Think of all the fic! The Art! The music!

*Bandom is way huge! Sometimes I forget that bandom casts such a wide net; but hearing people's story ideas, I remember and I get so excited for that. I'm looking forward to a variety of fic. (This is me expecting a Dresden Doll fic. That's all I'm saying. )

American Idol was okay to me. It doesn't seem that different, and the new judge is a good addition.

SO FREAKING EXCITED!
I'm feeling very musically stale, so I don't think I'll be able to mix again this time, but I actually squealed when I saw that signups had started.

I am hoping for some seriously epic Brendon/Shane. Or Brendon/Jon, been craving that lately too.

EEEEE!

Even though I'm kind of worried about what I'm doing, I'm still totally psyched to see the results. I wasn't really involved with bbb last year (the stories came at a really bad time for me [I still have some I want to read!] and there was not NEARLY the amount of hype last year, either) but it just feels like this huge group thing now. :D

I saw that you mixed last year! I'm excited to see what you come out with. :D

(And yes! There is totally more participants! I actually went back to last year and checked. xD But out of two hundred something people who signed up for bbb only ~70 posted stories, so that might not necessarily mean there's a much higher posted turn out. But, really, 70 is still a huge amount of epic stories.)

bandombigbang!!! YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!

You're mixing again??? *applaudes*

One of my other friends on my flist has signed up for it too... but she hasn't been talking about it much... more just in shock of actually joining up to write for it.

I think I need to make more friends in the world of bandom... lol. No one else really seems to care in my journal. *pouts*


Also... *points* I likes your new icon!
