Oy. XD;
I haven't posted here in a long time. The reason is mainly because most of what I want to say involves the Bowery Boys, or their predecessors the East Side Kids, and no one here knows about them, so I post my thoughts at The Bowery Yahoo Group instead. XD;
I love this icon. X3 Aubrie made several really great ones with Baby Face and Tony, but this is my favorite.
I've really got both her and DSM hooked on the mobster characters. XD DSM has created her own mob of OCs and is writing a story about how Tony and Alice met, and Aubrie wrote a one-shot/blurb about when Baby Face's mentor was shot and killed. Aubrie and I are also finishing up an RP arc in which Yaminah meets Baby Face-tachi. It's great. X3
I had my official graduation ceremony last Thursday. Everything went really well, and I sang a combo of One Alone and The Desert Song. It was fun and I really enjoyed it, though the whole experience was rather bittersweet because it made me feel more like an adult, which is great, but which also sends me into nostalgia. XD I know change is inevitable, and I both welcome it and don't like it at the same time, because I know that while I'll have a lot of great new experiences, I'll probably never have the old ones again that I loved. For some reason, I especially had that sense when I bought the Capsule Monsters DVD and the X-Files movie at Wal-Mart afterward. (I wasn't planning to get the latter, but I found it for $5.50, so I figured what the heck.)
Capsule Monsters was actually pretty good. It was like the RPG trilogy when they had to rescue Kaiba, and there is a villain, manipulating things from the shadows. Even though I miss a lot of the characters, I find it kinda fun to watch an arc with just the four original friends (plus Yugi's Grandpa and Yami Y, of course). I'm anxious to see what happens in the next installment. ^^
... Bad Guys from Bugsy Malone is too addicting of a song. XD; It amuses me terribly, and it's got a great beat. I love the choreography too.
I can't believe it, but I've been having more of my random Christmas moods over the last few days. This is the earliest it's ever got me. Before, the earliest was in late August. Perhaps part of the reason is because I want to set part of an East Side Kids story during Christmastime. Another part may have been influenced by the movie Going My Way, which I got because Stanley Clements has a big part in it. Other than Jimmy Murphy, Stanley is my favorite of the Bowery Boys/East Side Kids actors.
The East Side Kids are younger than the Bowery Boys and are more wild and rambunctious, while still being basically good people. XD I enjoy their films too, though the Bowery Boys are my preference. Stanley Clements' character in that is called "Stash" (which, incidentally, is one of Stanley's real nicknames), and in the first of his movies, Smart Alecks, he imitates the leader Mr. Muggs a lot. He has a hat pinned up like his and sometimes repeats what he says or adopts his poses. However, in the other two movies he's in, he does not imitate Muggs and seems more older and mature. I want to write a story mostly about him and the experiences he had that changed him.
I also had the random idea that maybe Stash could be Duke when he was younger. I know it doesn't seem likely at first glance, but Stash does have some of Duke's mannerisms (though that's likely just because they're Stanley's own mannerisms), and there's the whole name thing. Stanley's real name is Stanislaw, which is a variation of Stanislaus, which is Duke's real name, and I already mentioned that "Stash" is really one of Stanley's nicknames, so it seems that it could just as easily be one of Duke's.
