You know that place between sleep and awake?

That's where inspiration is.
Hook's quote aside, coming up with things for [livejournal.com profile] saba1789's prompt has been hard. I thought that doing the one with Spencer's left foot was challenging. Ah! If a little piece of Spencer made me sweat, I should have known that the whole thing would kill me.
Anyway, I've been toying with this prompt for a week and I finally got inspired this morning while waking up (a process that takes me from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on my hunger).
This time, I tried drawing with music in the background, so each piece is accompanied by the song I listened to while doing the first sketches. That means that today you get art and music!
[livejournal.com profile] saba1789, I hope these come close to what you wanted :)

5 things Spencer always has to has with him while on tour

1. pillow
Coldplay - Yellow (Piano Version)

2. keyring
Waterboy - We Will Rock You

3. concealer
The Boy Least Likely To - Be Gentle With Me

4. notebook
Strangeloves - I Want Candy

5. key
Vitamin String Quartet - Mad as Rabbits

As you might have noticed, the fifth item doesn't have a "note". That's because I wrote one that was so long it would have been a ficlet. The thing is, I don't think that that key needs an explanation: it speaks for itself.


Well, that was the last prompt for the 5 things meme. If you ever want to prompt me again, you can. Just be aware that lectures started again so it'll take me longer to draw them :)

Now, flist? I need your help: should I upgrade to a paid account or not? I'm very tempted... but I don't know if it'd be worth it. Opinions?

*squees all over your journal* OMG I LOVE THEM! :DDD

The first one made me go 'heh!'. The second one made me go 'awww!'. The third one made me :D . The forth one made go 'heeee! ♥'. And OMG, the last one! *flails all over the place*

Thank you so so much, honey! *hugs*


Also, you should totally upgrade to a paid account! Which is why I just got you some paid time. Enjoy! :)

OMGHOLYCOWSANTAMADRE (see, my italian slipped through)
I FUCKING LOVE YOU!!!!
I... really... OMG.. I'm speachless! I don't know how to thank you... OMG. Ask me anything you want! Holy shitzu....

Also, I'm so freaking happy that you like them! I was so unsure because Spencer? he's difficult! If I ever meet him, I'll tell him so! "Hi Spencer! Hi! I like you a lot!... And you're a horrible muse! >:["

...

Holy cow... I still can't believe it... You're GOLDEN!

Whee, I induced Italian! *g*

Ask me anything you want!

Are you kidding? You just gave me more than I could have even asked for! *hugs her 5 things to the chest*

Hi Spencer! Hi! I like you a lot!... And you're a horrible muse! >:[

LOL! I have to tell you what I actually said when I met Spencer that one time last March. /o\ But now I need to get ready for work.

*blushes* I really feel like I should give you something... Want me to send you the drawings? They're all on the same sheet..

Oh! I really want to know what you told him!!! Is it true that one's mind goes blank when confronted with the Smith's Smile of Awesome?

It was a thank you for these 5 things so I don't really want you to give me anything more but oooh, I don't think I can resist the offer of you sending me the original drawings! If you really don't mind doing that just gimme your email address and I'll send you my snail mail address :) .

Is it true that one's mind goes blank when confronted with the Smith's Smile of Awesome?

OMG YES THAT IS SO SO TRUE! /o\
Anyway, [livejournal.com profile] valya22 and I went to Zurich in March to see Panic during their short promo tour for the new album that wasn't even released at that time yet.
The venue was pretty small and the concert was super cool and fun and we'd kind of decided beforehand to maybe try and find a backdoor to maybe meet the guys after the concert.
After the concert I was actually a little hesitant to really do that but we nonetheless went around the venue and found what we were pretty sure was their tour bus.
So we decided to wait like 30 minutes and then just go if nothing happened.
40 minutes later (*g*) suddenly Spencer and Ryan where coming towards the bus and although Zack was all 'get on the bus' we still went and asked for a picture and they were super nice and all 'sure! hey, random tech guy come over and take our picture please!' and then they asked how we wanted to do it and I said - OUT LOUD ZOMG - 'I want Spencer please'. /o\ Luckily Spencer looks more amused than crept out in the picture although I'm totally clutching his arm and everything ZOMG!
They even did some small talk after taking the picture! OK, mostly it was Spencer talking. My brain was kind of still offline. *g* But yes, they were so cute and nice! ♥
I have the whole ridiculous report and the pictures here if you want to check it out.

Of course I don't mind!:D

'I want Spencer please'
I think it's kind of cute! You even said "please".
I went to the London date of that promo tour! I felt like a total dork because I dragged a friend who didn't even know Panic all the way to London just to see them and then spent the concert singing along to all the songs (because I'm creepy and I downloaded the live versions of the new songs before leaving and learned the lyrics /o\) and I didn't have the heart to ask her to stay a little bit longer around the venue to try and catch 'em.

Just send you an email :) .

I wanted to go to one of the German dates but I was actually on vacation during all of them - it nearly made me cry because I was afraid I would miss them but then they announced the Zurich date that worked brilliantly for me and Valya. Hee!
Oooh, I totally always have to sing along to everything, too! I didn't really know the new songs back then though.

I didn't have the heart to ask her to stay a little bit longer around the venue to try and catch 'em

Oh, I totally get that. I was very lucky to have a fellow fangirl with me who understood the urge ;) .

These are awesome and that woodpecker keyring is so cute!
I laughed out loud at the fourth one :D
the key really does speak for itself.

ELBOW FTW!

Thank you!
I laughed out loud at the fourth one
I laughed while I was drawing it! I just kept thinking about Ryan being all happy that Spencer was so focused while writing in the notebook, muttering about tangerine scent and golden colour and aubergines and then find out that he was coming up with recipes!

Ryan would have been totally fascinated by Spencer's mutterings and then written a bunch of songs inspired by them. (A little known fact of how Pretty. Odd. got written, y/n?)

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
YES! Lots of metaphors about tasting life and seeing the world without shades and let the past be where it is and live the moment! And it was all inspired by a vegetarian casserole! That's why it's Pretty.Odd.!

[identity profile] wethepainted.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly!
All this thinking about food made me hungry. I would love some of that casserole right now.

These are all great! My favorites are the third and fourth. I love Spencer as a cook and Jon leaving his mark ♥

And the fifth one does speak for itself, but I'm greedy and would still love to see the ficlet :)

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! Spencer as a cook is canon, right? I mean, all those fics mentioning his obsession with the food channel must be based on something...

Ugh, I wrote it while I was tweaking the drawing in photoshop, and then I just deleted the level with the text... I'll try and write it again? Maybe? But it was really short and very lame... Are you sure you want to risk your retinas?

[identity profile] milenaa.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never heard any canon mention of it. The only food related bit I can think of is an old interview where he talks about fans baking them stuff and when the interviewer asks if they eat it he's like "Oh yeah!"

I'm sure it was awesome. Also hahaha, you've been reading my writing, I don't think you could do any worse!

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Mhm... so, next time someone gets meet and greet they have to ask him if he likes to cook!

I don't think you could do any worse! AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. AH. You don't even know... the last time I wrote something other than school work it was this vein-cut-inducing piece about my head feeling too full of crap and wanting to open my skull like a cookie jar and pour all that was inside on the floor. I even did an illustration.

Good plan. Panic meet & greet would be awesome *__*


No really, I don't think it could top the awful anime and Harry Potter fic I used to write. That stuff was the crappiest ever!

Dude these are incredible. 3 is my favorite ^_^
