Ah, Friday at last!

[candyland]

AWESOME day today for various reasons--my middle schoolers successfully sang in FRENCH!! VICTORY!! \o/

I also got a letter from my private loan company--since I'm doing automatic payments, I get an interest rate cut. We're talking, like, a fraction of a percent. It's not a lot...but that will make a difference over the long run. I got a .25% interest rate deduction from my federal loan company for doing automatic payments, and it knocked my payments down by thirty bucks. And with that company I think I get another fairly substantial interest rate cut if I make either thirty-six or forty-eight payments on time.

[/boring money talk that still made me happy]

Tonight people have been sending me music! My sister sent me this amazing recording of a string quartet playing Evanescence's "My Immortal." I might have to take that in for my middle schoolers to prove that, "Wow! Classical-style music CAN be fun and interesting." Along with that Ten Tenors DVD...that opera medley is hilarious :D And then aishuu and ickaimp are spoiling me with funny music!

...seriously, I'm going to be singing "Dead Again" for weeks. And I'm a total nerd because I got a TON of those video game references. Except I'm trying to find the Legend of Zelda reference. There has GOT to be a Zelda reference... *is playing Phantom Hourglass and thus has LoZ on the brain*

ETA: Random thought--could each individual Legend of Zelda game count as a fandom on 100fandomhell? Different timelines and all-- *shot*

Ganked from various people...

Ever ban someone from commenting in your journal: Nope--though I screen anonymous comments because of some dumb flamers who thought I didn't know who they were. I then would post those flames in locked posts for my LJ friends to mock! :D

Do you feel close to most of the people on your friends list: Yes. There are a few of them I actually trust more than some people I know in real life.

How many journals on LiveJournal do you have: At present, three. This is my main one, and then I have my fic journal (candyfics), and an RP journal that I really should just close. I sort of want to re-app with a character I think I can actually do something with xD

Communities I currently own/maintain: I'm a memories mod on 30_nights and 30_cracks, and I'm a mod on 15_flames, but I feel bad because I don't really do much v_v

I'm hurt. Wounded you may say. How long have I known you and you forget dear old me. I shall go be emo in a corner now.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

GAAAH!! I knew I would miss someone! *goes to fix*

If you're going to emo, at least do it right! *throws Linkin Park CDat you* And have an appropriate icon, like this one! *points* Now you, too, can go Emo in the Corner like the PROS! :D

...I say yes on the Zelda games. Although... Wait. The NES ones I think are one timeline, the Oracle games obviously are, the N64 games are the same Link, and Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass. But they could potentially be separate fandoms still :D

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

...too complicated ^^;;

[alena_s_anigor.livejournal.com]

Wow, singing in French must be hard... XD

Eee, haven't done this meme yet! *ganks it*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

It's three lines. They're basically repeating them to me until they get it. They're doing quite well on it. And then the verses are all in English ^^

[gomath02.livejournal.com]

You missed me... *cries*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I added you now! Sorry! The weird thing is that I was even thinking about you when I was typing this entry out. I don't know how I didn't add you...

[gomath02.livejournal.com]

Haha, no worries.... I still loves you!

[writergurl.livejournal.com]

I actually have the CD of the String Quartet tribute to Evanescence. Maybe if I ever get a chance to sit down for more than a few minutes at a time, I can rip it and file transfer it to you sometime, if you're interested?

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I LOVE YOU SO HARD! :D

"[...]amazing recording of a string quartet playing Evanescence's "My Immortal.""

Why have I never heard of this before? I love that song!
Where can I find a place to listen to this?
