From the look of my Friends list, it seems everyone's having a really anxious day/week/life. Amarissia too. So, for all who would like to, I invite you to take a little breather with me, via music and soothing pretty pictures. Harp music has always been a good de-stresser for me - it must be my Celtic soul.

And if you don't find these particular images calming, you may direct your gaze to the nearest portal, where Genesis tells me he will be doing naked yoga.

Sephy: *covers Cloud's eyes*
Cloud: "Ooh, are we playing hide-and-seek?"
Genesis: "Don't distract me, I'm about to do my Downward-Facing-Uke."
Zack: "LET GO!"
Angeal: *smacks*
Genesis: "Oh, fine."

Need help there, Genesis? I'd be only *too* happy to give you a helping *hand*... *leers*

That's very lovely - both to listen to and to look at. I love Celtic harp, too. I listen to similar stuff when I'm either writing or doing crafts. :)

A group (well, not really. I think there are only two people involved) that I also like to listen to is Secret Garden. They do a mix of traditional Celtic music with a bit of New Age and meditatitve music. I have the Album 'Once in a Red Moon' and I love listening to it when I write. Especially introspective or fluffy stuff. :)

You're having an anxious day/week/life? Anything I can do to help?
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010 11:59 pm (UTC)
Genesis: "You can admire my glory. Make your 'Ooh's and 'Aah's loud!"

Oh, I love Secret Garden! I have one of their CDs...somewhere. *is still avoiding boxes* I also like the Celtic Circle albums...and I think I have a Pure Moods as well...

You do help, all of you. :)

Are you sure you don't need help getting yourself knotted... or rather, unknotted? I'll be *happy* to help you there.

*very evil grin*

You might also like the album "Glastonbury" by Tepperwein. I don't know Celtic Circle. Have to look those up. :)

Is a *HUG* ok?
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 08:40 pm (UTC)
Hug is always nice. *squeeze*

Cloud: "Hug ME! Hug ME!"

When hugging Cloud, be sure to squeeze him tightly. He's used to hugs from SOLDIERs, after all. :)

Genesis: "Hmm, knotted, you say?" *looks down* "I hope it doesn't get knotted." *looks anxious*
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 09:10 pm (UTC)
*squeezes Amarissia back*

Hard hugs, hm?

*SQUEEEEEEEZEs Cloud*

I'm not SOLDIER, but for some reason my family fears my hugs. May have something to do with their ribs being somewhat bruised afterward. Actually, my daughter swears on them, because she says it's better than a chiropracter. >.> I'm not sure that's a compliment...

Dear GenGen, if it gets knotted, I'll be only *too* happy to help you get it... straightened out. And get the... kinks... out of it. Or into it...? *ponders*
Friday, March 19th, 2010 03:40 am (UTC)
Cloud: "Ooh, you hug good! More, more!" *opens arms*

You'll never get rid of him now. :)

Genesis: 'Do you like watching? I'm a bit of an exhibitionist." *grin*
Friday, March 19th, 2010 10:42 am (UTC)
*gg*

Anytime, Cloud, anytime* *SQUEEEEEEEEEZE*

Hm... looking out my office window. On the other side of the road, there's a garden (much to my cat's enjoyment) with several trees and bushes. The bushes are *full* of birds (which is why my cat is *over there*) flitting all over the place and just basically enjoying the spring sun. I've actually caught myself thinking just now that Cloud would probably enjoy sitting here at the window and watching them - not in my office, but next door in the stock room. Both rooms are connected by an open archway, so he wouldn't be alone.

Oh, Genesis, I'll be happy to watch *you* any day... *suggestive leer*
Friday, March 19th, 2010 11:18 pm (UTC)
Genesis: "Really? I just might happen to have an elaborate camera setup in my room, and monitors you can use to watch me..." *grin*

Cloud: "Kitty? Birds?" *bounce* "OOOH can I play with them?" *dashes through portal*
Sephy: *smile* "He seems to like the places you give him access to, thank you."
Saturday, March 20th, 2010 11:39 am (UTC)
Oh really, Gen? I thought cameras were forbidden in Amarissia's house? *lifts eyebrow* But I'd be only *too* happy to watch you... all in the name of research, of course. So I can write better smut fics, right?

Cloud, love, you can't play with the birds, they'll fly away, but you *can* play with my cats - all four of them.

Here you are: http://pics.livejournal.com/ravensilver/gallery/0004khxy

Only for you.

My pleasure, Sephiroth. He's such a happy fellow, it would be hard not to be affected by his joy. :)
Saturday, March 20th, 2010 01:49 pm (UTC)
Genesis: "Precisely! And um, of course I don't really have cameras." *whistles, gestures to hidden monitor* "Don't tell 'Geal and Puppy, okay?"

Cloud: "OOH!" *bounces, tries to decide which to play with first* "Kitties! C'mon, Silverstream, we'll play fetch with Oskar first, then we'll cuddle the others!" *bounce*
Sephy: *smile*
Saturday, March 20th, 2010 02:09 pm (UTC)
So... tell me what I can bribe you with, for a copy of those DVDs?

Oskar will be exstatic to have someone to play with. He'll be happy to spend all afternoon with you.

*whispers* Gives you some time off to read a good book, Sephiroth.
Saturday, March 20th, 2010 02:17 pm (UTC)
Genesis: *grin* "Well - "
Zack: "What's that? Is that...a camera?!"
Angeal: "Gen, you know the rules." *snags*
Genesis: "HEY! You are depriving innocent fangirls of the joy of peeping on me! ANGEEEEAL!"
Cloud: *obliviously kitty-snuggling*
Sephy: "Yes, I suppose so." *but watches Cloud instead*
Saturday, March 20th, 2010 02:34 pm (UTC)
Hey! Don't take that down!

Ehm... *coughcough*

I mean, of course, if those are the rules...

*wonders if she can sneak Genesis one of her own*

*has very happy snuggled kittens*
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010 11:59 pm (UTC)
naked yoga

OMG JUST WHAT I NEEDED!

*open mouthed stare*
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 12:00 am (UTC)
Cloud: "Look, he can make it move by itself!"
Sephy: *drags Cloud out of the room*
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 12:01 am (UTC)
Waitaminute... if Angeal smacks Genesis while he's in the Downward-Facing-Uke position, isn't that a spanking? O_o

*Consults yaoi yoga book*

Oooh! Rec for you, Ai no Kusabi (2009) the recreation is out! Currently downloading the first two episodes which are the only ones I can find, may be the only ones translated so far. I'll post a link for you when I'm on the right computer since I found the site through devine Google intervention. *Counts down the hours until I can watch it ;__;*
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 11:45 am (UTC)
Okay, nevermind, the download finished and the site made a mistake, the remake is out apparently but I just got the old version again. I'll keep looking since I remember you did a review of the original OVAs. ;_;
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 12:09 am (UTC)
This is a nice distraction from my bitchy appendix. Thank you! :)
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 08:42 pm (UTC)
Appendix is being naughty?

Sephy: "Do you require a Cure?"
Thursday, March 18th, 2010 04:28 am (UTC)
Appendix was quite naughty! Then it shut up. It was weird, but hey, at least I don't need surgery! I hate surgery. :(

A Cure would have been much appreciated! Unfortunately, they do not exist here. Siiigh.
Friday, March 19th, 2010 03:28 am (UTC)
Sephy: "Ah, yes. It is vexing that our magic doesn't work on people from your world."
Cloud: "Is Appendix your pet? Is it soft? Can I hold it?"

Um...guess I'd better have Sephy explain, he's better at anatomy...
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010 06:54 pm (UTC)
"Is Appendix your pet? Is it soft? Can I hold it?"
Barely managed to avoid spit taking mac and cheese there....

That music is soothing.

Of course a Genesis doing naked yoga (Zack included or not) would be even more soothing, but, oh well, I'll take what I can get. Hope your week gets better soon. :3
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 03:02 am (UTC)
This was very calming to watch.:)
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 03:10 am (UTC)
Such pretty music x3 I love harp...
I love really soothing music but after a busy/ stressful week/ day, I prefer to put on my phones and listen to techno or trance music and do the most silly dance I can xD Jumping around and spending energy (or what's left of it) works better to me xD That or swimming.

*gets video camera* Can I record the yoga session? It's for... reference and... stuff.
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 08:43 pm (UTC)
Angeal: "I'm sorry, cameras are prohibited. It's a Choir rule."

Such a killjoy, isn't he? :)
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 10:19 pm (UTC)
Ooh... *get's pencils and sketchbook* Can I do a drawing session then? His yoga positions are great for... anatomy practice for... stuff *quickly wipes drool*
Friday, March 19th, 2010 03:34 am (UTC)
Genesis: "Well, if it's for educational purposes *winks*, draw away!" *stretches, tosses hair*
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 03:18 am (UTC)
Sage: -cant tear eyes away from naked yoga, mouth wide open-
Zach: -rolls eyes-

Celtic music is so soothing, I haven't listened to any for years haha. This is really nice.

Hope your week gets a little bit less crazy and you can relax.
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 08:44 pm (UTC)
Genesis: "Oh, good, Sage can help me demonstrate Downward-Facing-Uke." *smirk*

Thank you.:)
Thursday, March 18th, 2010 07:04 am (UTC)
Sage: -grin- "I doubt I could be that flexable... but I'll gladly try."
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 06:34 am (UTC)
That was very calming, thanks. I feel marginally less stressed at any rate.

Zack, be a dear and participate in the yoga session. I need all the distraction I can get.

Hope you're feeling less stressed too!
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 12:30 pm (UTC)
Thanks Gen, we appreciate all the, uh, hard work you do for us. Unless you were doing poses in front of one of the other portals? It's been a while since you've perved on talked about L and Light.
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 08:47 pm (UTC)
Genesis: "It is very hard. Usually. Makes a lovely display in my tight leather pants." *grin*

L and Light...we haven't seen them much lately. Our friend to whom they belong has gotten crazy-busy, but I'm sure we'll get to see them again when things are less hectic. Luckily, Genesis has a new boytoy to occupy his time. *points up to emokirby24's response* :)
Thursday, March 18th, 2010 10:35 am (UTC)
I needed that. You read my mind. I'm wound up into a tight ball of stress because of reality intruding on my happiness. The choir has been shooting me nervous looks and talking about getting me drunk or something to relax me. Which by the way I will torture you ALL if I feel even slightly buzzed.

Avery: *stares at Gen* O.O Oh, my...

Something wrong honey?

Avery: O.O' Something is right. Something is VERY right in the world.

Heh.
Also, I know I said I would have that one-shot out days ago, I'm sorry, I keep veering off to something else and my imagination and my Goddess-be-damned-muse *glares at Avery who is now drooling* is NOT cooperating. *hits Avery with the keyboard*

Avery: *is completely un-phased because oh look he's still staring*

On the plus side, I have written two more Gen one-shots and a Zangeal one-shot that I will ALSO be posting when that damn one-shot gets worked out. My writing was so all over the place it's like untangling a ball of yarn. Nothing is where it should be and everything is where it shouldn't be, *sigh* like the rest of my world. Please don;t hate me?

Stop drooling on my keyboard!!! What happened to that Turk you were screwing?!

Avery: Shutthehellup. He's not doing yoga... in the buff... *continues ogling*
Friday, March 19th, 2010 03:22 am (UTC)
Genesis: *smirks happily, bends over slooooowly*

He likes this effect he has on other people's muses.

Genesis: "Turk, hmm? Which Turk? Is it the redhead? I'd like a piece of that. And maybe the quiet one too."

*pats hand* Fear not, the yarn will untangle in time, and we will be very pleased to see the results.

Genesis: *stretches*

He's really milking this...

Genesis: "Oh, you think I should do that?"

Ew. Perv. :)
Friday, March 19th, 2010 10:05 pm (UTC)
Avery: *tilts head to the side to watch Gen bend over*

*eye roll* If you keep doing that you'll make him incoherent and I'll never finish anything. He won't say which one, I have a bet going with Mercy that it's Legend.
But I want the yarn to untangle now. *pout*

Avery: *edges close to portal*

DON'T EVEN. You ain't goin' nowhere 'til I finish this one-shot!

Avery: *frown* What one-shot?

*facekeyboard*
Friday, March 19th, 2010 11:08 pm (UTC)
Genesis, you are impeding fic! Stop distracting!

Genesis: *reluctantly puts his clothes back on* "You are oppressing my soul, you realize."

Legend, hmm? Don't know much about him. Is he a manwhore like Reno?
Sunday, March 21st, 2010 12:43 am (UTC)
Avery: Hey! Not fair! *dives for the portal*

Mercy: *trips*

Avery: -wham- *facefloor* I'll remember this, just you wait.

Legend is in BC, he kinda keeps to himself I guess? I have only played parts of BC (I know, shame on me, bad fan-girl form) but I do know that he's an explosives specialist. I keep smelling burnt metal on Avery so that's why my money is on Legend, also known as 'legs' because the man has got legs that reach to the North Pole. =P Behold his smexiness.

Ang: -_-' ... I feel slightly better about my nickname now...
Sunday, March 21st, 2010 08:06 pm (UTC)
Genesis: "No need to bow so low, dear." *nods head regally*

Hmm, that is a rather fine speciman. C'mon, Avery, fess up. Or tell us where the smell of burnt metal comes from.
Monday, March 22nd, 2010 06:12 am (UTC)
Avery: I don't know about bowing, but I'd certainly bend over.

Oh, that's real subtle.

Avery: Or I could just stay down here and you could join me.

Ave, could you maybe try to be less obvious with your self-whoring?

Avery: Not a chance.

*sniff* Why do you smell like burnt metal again?!

Avery: I do not!

Yes, you do.

Mercy: She's right. Admit it, it's Legs isn't it?

Avery: ...I've taken up welding...

Bull!

Mercy: Oh, come on, SPILL! Is he really a Legend or just good with his hands?

Avery: ...I don't kiss and tell...

Mercy: *points triumphantly* He's red!

OMGaia you ARE screwing him!!! Details. NOW!

Avery: Two against one is not fair!

Tell me or I'll just use my imagination!

Avery: *hatehatehatehatehate*

Mercy: *attempting to get through the portal to kidnap mistersmexyLegs*
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 04:17 pm (UTC)
Genesis: "Self-whoring is an art, dears, never knock it." *tosses hair* "Hmm, who's this Legs you speak of?"
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 07:07 pm (UTC)
*shows gen pic*
Legend, meet Gen. Gen, meet Legend. Also known as 'legs' because... well, kinda self-explanatory. *points at Legends legs*
