~There's A Place That I Know :: It's Not Pretty There and Few Have Ever Gone...~

Does anyone *coughcoughbistyboo1974 andxenokattz coughcough* have any idea where I can find a copy of Built For The Sea's version of Baby, It's Cold Outside? I need it to include with my FicGrab at the Planet, but I've been having to listen to it at YouTube because no one has it! Help?

To hear what I've been using, click below. WARNING: It's H/Hr, but it could be considered a friendship video. Nothing icky there. :P ;)

All right, all right, I know it's about twelve hours late, but come bearing music and spoilers!

Clois Christmas 2009

The mix above is pretty eclectic, spanning all eras. Just a bunch of holiday music I've used to inspire or just really like. Enjoy, all!


As for the spoiler for this week, I'm putting it here since I already have the sidebar in use. This chapter's not going to be as large as last week's simply because of the lack of time to do it in and the fact that there will be a 12days_of_clois oneshot coming next weekend. That said, things are really busy in this one. Want proof? Well, here you go:

( More Than Meets The Eye )

Just leaving notice that I'll be posting a Christmas playlist when I get home and I might just have a spoiler for this weekend's chapter. :D

Sound good? I'd send some of the mulled wine we plan to have tonight if I could!

Love you all and know I'm hideously jealous of those of you with snow at the moment. It's currently frikkin' 82 degrees here. Stupid Florida. *stomps foot*

ETA: *LOL, blows kisses* For those of you in Northern climes fussing at me for being so close to the beach, let me remind you all that this is HUMID heat, nothing like the Bahamas. And if you'd had to spend the last 25 years in a row wearing light clothing, you'd be sick of the lack of Christmas-like weather, too. Oh, did I mention the fact that the weather keeps jumping from hot and humid to cold and rainy? Yeah. All of us are coming down with colds because the Florida weather sucks. I'd rather be cold. I prefer it that way.

I want to take this moment to say Happy Thanksgiving to all of you Americans and extend the sentiment to my entire F-List that I feel right now.

And it's absolutely true! I love you guys! *snugs* Have an AWESOME day!

Okay, all, we've done these before and have met with fairly good success over the years. PLEASE pass this on: I have no way of knowing what you could want without a little help. Money is low over here at the Joos-Roy household this time around, but maybe I can help another way. I can't think of a better way to start off the season.

o1. Make a post to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from something simple and fandom-related to something really big. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

o2. Surf around your friends list to see who has posted their list. If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy.

o3. There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

I probably don't have 10, but here goes:

Family get-together going on today, regardless of a mesh of religions, so I wanted to wish those who celebrate a happy Easter!

Feeling a bit better today on my second favorite holiday of the year and I love you all for the snuggles last night. I especially thank maaike_fluffy for a bit of a wake-up call. I guess I hadn't really thought of that. I don't think I've ever fully stopped being a movieverse Clois fan, so maybe that's why it seems so weird for me to imagine that it might be the fandom and not us. Thanks, sweetheart. I needed the reality check! *giant snuggles*

Also, I know that several of you disliked several of the little cliches and jokes from last night's Crack!ville, but I was giggling like a little girl. I love it, loved every single moment of it. ( Spoiler ) But it boils down to badassery. Moar Plz?!

Okay, so I'm going to go to the fair and get up to some other mischief. See you all back here in the morning for Heirs.

Oh, and rizny? You know I think you hung the moon, right? *tacklesnuggles*

And just as some really cool Halloween coolness, a Halloween video by Sjjtnj for HP and Twilight (not much of a Twilight fan, but I'm going to see the film out of curiosity) for the millions of fans on my F-List.

• Stop being overly-sensitive and learn to speak up for myself more often. Or just learn to ignore non-constructive critisism.
• Make a better attempt at losing weight because last year's excuses just aren't going to cut it.
• Believe in myself more as a writer. Out of Reach went over pretty well, and I did that all on my own, so maybe it's safe to believe that I really am pulling my own weight.
• Actually finish Little Secrets before the end of February. And make the ending something amazing.
• Go forward with the other installment to the Out of Reach universe and finish it, then write the other two/three oneshots for the Baby, It's Cold Outside-verse to close that one. I will finish these two AUs with only that amount of chapters. Before the summer. I hope.
• Push myself farther, writing-wise, on Heirs to the House of El than I did in Little Secrets. As well as I've done here, let me get braver.
• Not drive Anissa absolutely batshit over deadlines. Even if you still will have them.
• Actually get some work done on Dark Rising and see if we can get this baby published since we have so much manuscript.
• Meet Margot this time. And not act like a spaz by crying and getting nervous. And remember to get her to sign Sophie's sketch.
• Be a better friend.
• Get out of this town and this house before I go insane after eight years of 'Next year we'll move'.

*looks up at her list* Okay, that'll do. And this year, I'm really going to try, since I honestly mean all of those things.
