Oh good! Realism is certainly something that we're both really serious about, haha... In a bar is the only place I could figure that they'd both be, ever. (What with the SR touring schedule and things. I don't know where else Tom goes... I have a hard time with that bit about him.)

And yes, I absolutely agree! She always hits them dead on psychologically, which floors me every time. And yeah, I know her updates aren't exactly often... but she's a pretty busy girl! She's been swamped in school and work lately. :/ I, on the other hand, am just lazy and frequently lack the inspiration needed to put words on paper.

Whoaaaaa. Well I don't quite know about equal... but I sometimes like to tell myself that my writing could metaphorically stand next to hers and not want to commit suicide... XD You must understand that she's my favorite author [i]ever.[/i] lol

Wow. That's crazy how accurate your description is... that's my Taurus Jónsi to a tee... well... maybe except for the charismatic bit -- maybe onstage, but not so much elsewhere, haha! How about a Gemini?

Boy, my personal Tumblr is all Iceland stuff and sparkly vintage photos. I'm crazy for 'bokeh' Holga things.

Oh wow, well I'm extremely glad that you think I've gotten them!!!!
I like sitting here behing my computer screen, trying to get into people's heads through video, watching interviews... I take the things they say (but more importantly, [i]how[/i] they say those things) and build a little personality in my head. I know I sometimes don't get it down, but you know.. trying is fun. : )
The difficult thing is branching out and taking something that wouldn't ever happen to them in real life and having to... plan out and predict what they would do if they were in the situation.. how it would change them and everything.
But either way, i'm really really glad you like it and it's amazing to hear that I've captured the twins and put them on paper. :D (And it's crazy awesome to be sort of compared with Alex... she's my favorite writer person on here, and I frequently cry over her words.!!)
Huh... I dont' know much about astrology, save for my own Aries... What's your take on Taurus? And also Virgo, since it seems I should know that one as well... haha XD
Ahh. Well, I think I'm probably more of an Iceland poster person... but alright!! lol! Maybe I [i]should[/i] put more of the boys on there from time to time...

Haha! Well honestly, I have no idea what's going on with the guys... I basically disconnected myself from everything TH news-ish back when the app came out...
It just fucked with my head too badly... I was constantly running across stuff on tumblr and going "oh shoot, I've got to remember this particular detail for the story," or "oh, they do this? that's a clue about their personalities, maybe I've gotten it wrong."
So I just kind of had to step back and remind myself that these people are my characters... I'll never get them like they are in real life, because Tom's never going to fall in love with an Icelandic girl from Sigur Rós, mostly because she doesn't exist...
But um... yeah. I'm following the real life TH timeline up to a certain point and then branching off into what I think would happen if my story were true.
However, feel free to update me on any of the more interesting happenings if you so desire... ;)
Which forums? I bummed around on the Mibba TH forum a little today, but didn't stay long... I don't go onto the THA forums too much, except for the Instruments thread and the Tom section if I need a smile...

I halfway know how you feel about that one... There's a college that I really wanted to go to... Berklee in Boston. (In fact, one of the characters in JTLI went to Berklee... hmm..) But it's like... the 9th most expensive school in the US, so... absolutely no way. :/ It's a contemporary music college.

But hm, next chapter... Aghh.. Well here's the problem. I'm such a slow writer and I haven't had any inspiration lately.. just... haven't written much at all because I'm either too tired or too blue or just not creative at all. I really want to get at least a decent jump on Chapter 6 before I post chapter... 4? Yeah, it'd be 4... I plan on working on it a bit today after I get a hold of my mind and clean my room and stuff. I'd say I'll hopefully post by the end of the month, or maybe the beginning of February. Once a month seems to be my pattern here, as bad as that is... haha

It seems a bit risky to skip college in this day and age, don't you think? Either way, good luck to you! :)
Hmm, even smaller... I straightened the books in my bookcase the other day. Ever since, I've just felt much more put together. I'm a firm believer that one's environment reflects that person's mind... therefore, the cleaner everything is, the more sane I feel.

Ah, well I'm sorry. :/
Where are you moving to? College? That should be cool.
Hmm, a small change... maybe making an actual effort to remember things. It's amazing what I notice now... I remember people's names, I remember dates, I remember where the locksmith is because my dad said he got a key made four days ago after seeing the shop across the street as he was getting his hair cut... That's made a huge difference.
Hm.. writing in a journal. This year I started that, and it is really helping me keep my mind in order. :)

I just had to go look at the picture to see what you meant... lol
In reality, my mirror was just dirty and I liked the effect. XD
Ahh, I see. Sounds sort of rough, honestly. :/ I was never aware of anything unless it glittered. My head was always in the clouds... still is, most of the time.. at least when I'm alone.

Canada's hat... that is awesome. XD I don't think I ever really thought about it much as a kid.. it was just another country that I didn't live in, and therefore didn't need to know a lot about for the next test in social studies.. haha.
Yes, that picture is actually of me, taken into the mirror in my bedroom. :) You can see the lights from my little Christmas tree there in the background. Thank you!

Huh.. Well I guess I always thought of it as really icy... and of course it is during winter, but I didn't know it was so pretty in summer!
Oh my goodness, I know.. Google Chrome's spellcheck saves my ass every single day...

Lololol!! See?!?! Iceland love is catching!! It's amazing amazing! :)

Oh my gosh, I'm so epically jealous of him that I'm contemplating sitting here and crying, haha!
Yeah, I had heard that the fireworks in Iceland are awesome on New Year's... Apparently, if you're flying in a plane at the time, it's quite a view. I was going to watch the fireworks in Reykjavík on a webcam feed, but.. it just.. didn't happen... I guess I was somewhere? Right, yeah, it would have happened at like 6 o'clock my time and I was at church.
Anyway... Iceland is so phenomenally weird!!! I mean, you saw all of that! The cemetery, the foods, the random spigot at the hotel... Amazing. Such a silly country. :')
Thank you for showing me this video!! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Yeah, I'm just... wow, I agree, it's a whole ton to get used to. His whole look now just feels like he's either trying too hard, not trying hard enough, or is just not hitting the fashion hail on the head anymore... And yes, I totally miss the dreads too. On BOTH of the twins. And Bill's little lipgloss phase in there. Gorgeous.
I dunno... the muscularness.. They totally look REALLY twinny now!!! It's almost disturbing how similar they look! But... hmm.. On one hand, I'm still not used to it on Bill, but on the other hand, he looks so much more healthy than he did a few months ago, you know?? Right when he first got his hair cut-cut, he really just looked sick. Made me nervous how thin he was, you know? :/

Lol!! Wow, you got me. XD Yeah, I don't know. Bill's style has gotten a little too out there for me to really love like I used to.. not that I ever liked Tom's baggy clothes much, but you know. The guitar. The guitar hands. ....The guitar hands. XP

So funny story: I wrote the last part of the chapter listening to a really calm, sad, rainy sort of song, and I ended up hunched over in front of the computer, bawling my eyes out...
And the next morning, I'm just like... "jeez, you're such a girl."
Anyway, I'm glad I was at least able to convey part of that emotion!! XD Thanks for commenting!! <3

Lol! Well by all means, print it out! :P I can't make any promises about after I go to college, but from now until then, I'll be writing. :) Anyway, I'm so glad you like it, thank you!! <3 And thank you for commenting as well!

Lol!! Alright, thanks for the heads up! :)

Lol! Yeah, I guess so. :) Thanks!!

Well then I'll learn them wrong! I know that if I do that, I'll never be able to read just the black and white.. :/

Haha!! That would be great... if I could read or write notes.. : / Every time I try to learn... All the black marks just get jumbled up in my mind. It would be easier if they were in color.. my mind seems to put colors to music, but then I'd never learn the right way, you know?

Haha, yeah I think so. I'm not really sure though. I'd like to get into Berklee in Boston, but I don't really like the stress of performing... I rather just like creating...
I don't deal with high-stress situations very well... I've got to years(ish) to think about it and I'm already stressing about what I'll play when Berklee holds auditions in Chicago... :/
