The story of how I came to love an album called Annetenna is sort of long and thus I won't publish it here. If anyone cares (they don't), I'll tell. It's not a secret. Let's just say it involves the TV show "What I Like About You". I can see your brains turning off.
I'll just jump straight to the point. Annetenna was a short-lived band that emerged from the ashes of another band called Ednaswap. They created an amazing debut album that was shelved by Columbia Records due to "internal organization". Annetenna decided to self-publish their self-titled album and put it up on their website for all to download. For free.
Now, the tragedy is that at some point, Annetenna's website went down. Along with all of their songs. Perhaps since the band went out of existence, they forgot to pay the domain renewal fee. Regardless, after that, the songs became difficult, nay, impossible to find on the Internet. Such is the bane of people who like music by obscure artists.
Anyway, I eventually tracked down someone who wrote a review (who has requested anonymity) of Annetenna and I went out on a limb and emailed them. To my delight, he replied the next day and provided the songs to me along with some live tracks. And I thought, "Why should I be the only one who gets these songs?" The album was originally available for free, and, while searching the Internet trying to find the album, I found many other people who really wanted to download this album. So I decided to put the songs up on my website for all to download.
I hope this page receives high Google PageRank because I want other people who want this album to get it. You can either download the songs individually or via a torrent that I will attempt to seed as often as I possibly can. Below, you will find a list of songs that you can download. They are all in MP3 format. Some of them also have a live version that you can also download.
I hope that, for those of you who came here looking for Annetenna songs, I just made your day! And for the rest of you, who are just reading because you're my regular readers, well, I'll give you a hug anyway.

Well! This poll received many a vote! But in the end, one finally had to win! Well, I guess that there COULD be a situation in which MORE than one option won.... in fact, they could all, possibly, win, but they didn't! No, they did not! Let's just examine those results now....
Computer-y stuff - 7 vote(s)!
Personal stuff - 4 vote(s)!
Random fun stuff - 5 vote(s)!
Other - 0 vote(s)!
Lol, I was terrifyingly late to this poll. It's literally 5 minutes to midnight. I have been too lazy recently; I'd wake up on Saturday and think "Poll of the Week? Meh, I'll do it later." CONSCIOUS DECISION. Then, I happen to remember at 11:48 PM. FREAKING OUT as I nearly just collapsed from drowsiness. It happened yesterday, too, with my weekly blog post, except it was an hour and a half earlier. I will have to stop being lazy, post more frequently and get more work done. MARK MY WORDS, MR ANDERSON, MARK MY WORDS. I'm not quite sure why I said that. Maybe I should go sleep now.

Once upon a time, there was a website. It was called Four Island. And now that I've finished plugging a website that you are already on, let me explain that there was a user on it named Drifty. She had an idea one day that went like this:DriftyYes, I am so insane that I archived the original post (if you notice, it doesn't exist on The Fourm anymore). Anyway, Drifty called it The Greatest Story and plopped it down in Storybook Time. And so, people found it, liked it and signed up. And soon enough, there was a full plot line in development. We called it Starfall. It is, as of yet, incomplete.
Then, I decided to enhance the actual process with some methods to make everything more organized. I pretty much went offically psycho over the entire project and proposed that we make a series of TGS projects, one after another, that had nothing to do with eachother.
The Greatest Story really became a part of Four Island, and although only one such project has ever been started (and is still, unbelievably, in production about nearly two years due to the massive procrastination of a user who I am proud to say was NOT me this time), the process itself has undergone a multitude of changes. TGS is no longer just a collaborative project, it's a process under which multiple authors can collaboratively write a book.
Now, TGS was created in April 2008. What am I doing talking about it now? The first TGS project is nowhere near completion. Another TGS project isn't going to start yet (though they are free to do so at any time). Besides, most of you know all this. Most of you know what I'm going to say next too. Who cares, I needed a post for this week.
No, the exciting thing is that I'm writing a website for TGS! It's referenced to as "The TGS Website" all over Four Island so now you can understand what I'm talking about all the time. Anyway, The TGS Website is planned to be a website where authors can sign up and join new TGS projects. Then, under the guidance of the TGS process, the authors can band together and write a book! Doesn't that sound like fun?
I'm writing The TGS Site in Ruby, oh glorious Ruby on Rails, so you know it has to be good! It probably will not be completed soon due to the fact that I'm a l**y p*o*r*s*i*a*or (TimTam doesn't want me a*o*o*i*i*g during this post), but it will not become vaporware! Disregard the fact that this is the third effort so far at creating a TGS Website! I will discuss TGS and its website with you more and more.... and more.... and more later. Stay tuned for more excruciatingly painful details! Starla out!

I wasn't sure whether to put this in Deck of Cards, Spam or here, but this is a collaborative effort and it's cool. I just thought this up.
So, want to write a story, but haven't got the time or drive? Why don't you work on a story with a small group? It can be insane, random, funny, sad or... anything!
My idea is that we form a small group, and we each contribute a character of our own making, using a bio sheet. Then, one person types up a chapter and posts it, another person makes another chapter after the first chapter and posts it and we keep on going until... THE END. The only rule is that you can't type two chapters in a row unless you has permission. Oh, and the story must make some sort of sense
