If you know me well enough, then you should know of my liking of Panic at the Disco (formerly Panic! At the Disco). Their newest CD Pretty. Odd. came out yesterday. I don't have the CD, but I have listened to some songs. The fast pace of their other CD A fever you can't sweat out, has suddenly disappeared. It has been replaced with a 60s feel that has been compared to the Rolling Stones among many. This CD is definitely proving that they really are not an emo band (just as they claim). Many don't seem to realize that this is still Panic though. There is the same strange choice of topics and word choice - for example Nine in the Afternoon - and the vocals are the same (yes I know! It's just Oceansurferg being crazy as usual, but trust me, I think that with other singers, this band would be completely different sounding). I'd just like to give Panic a Bravo! For breaking out of emo label, and reforming in a way that most bands just cannot.
Now that that's out of the way, it's time for me to give you all some information about what's going on with me! Don't look so excited *sarcasm*. I have a fiction press account now, and have posted something already. Although it's a smaller group, I think my works will do better here, because it's my own work, and I'm much better at my own stuff then fanfiction. Oh, and if I haven't drilled it into your head already, my name there is Oceansurferg as well.
I'm also really excited about something I posted on HPFF that was posted yesterday. It's the story of Neville Longbottom *snickers* sorry, but the name Longbottom is funny. I think I'd be happier if she had kept their name to Pupp. But, anyways, the reason I'm so excited about this one is the amount of response I've gotten. To give you a scope, so far 32 people have read Annelise's one chapter (it was not set as abandoned until after two months), and two have reviewed, and no one's favored it. With The Boy Who Could Have Been I have gotten 30 reads, one review, and one favorite in 24 hours. I'd consider that a fair amount, wouldn't you? The amount of response has made me feel that I should write often on this one. I've already begun researching his childhood for the first half of the first chapter. The second half should be between a half and a whole of his first year. If I get a total of five reviews by the end of tomorrow, I promise to dedicate two hours to writing the story the next day.
While I was on HPFF today, I also found a story I had once read about a woman revisiting the cave that Tom took her to. She talks about being in love with him. Anyways, this made me go and look at who was actually taken to the cave. There's such a vague description about what happened here, that I decided to write a oneshot about it starring Amy B. and Dennis B. (cannon characters of no relation). If I decide it's worth working on it might take me about two good hours of work to put it in the queue.
I have also been playing a puzzle game called Bloxorz. I don't really know how to describe it, so check it out yourself by using google, or go to addicting games and then puzzles to play it. I'm on stage 31 right now (with no help! go me!) which I almost finished earlier, but then fell off on accident :(
More on music is my discovery of Death Cab for Cutie (almost completely discovered by everyone but me) My favorite song right now is Transatlanticism, which makes me imagine slow dancing with someone, not to mention it can put me to sleep, my main reason for listening to music.
I've also discovered Sara Bareilles, but I did that weeks ago, so it doesn't seem like much anymore.
So many more things have happened, but I really don't think that I need to put it all in, so...

PS: This is very likely my longest post besides the copy and paste, go me!
Update: My post about the circles is actually longer than this, but to me this proves that I'm becoming wordier.
