I know...I know I have been really quiet. Sorry illness flows through my house still. This post is only momentary to share something that tickled me pink.  Okay so how many of you out here in LJ-Land that write have a Muse? Show of hands please? Well it turns out...that this makes good sense.

Aw, shoot, I can't watch videos at work! I'll have to check it out this evening.

I do have a Muse, though. Her name is V. I used to think she was something of a fickle tramp, but lately I've come to realize that she just requires regular attention and affection. ^.~

What about yours?

You really should, she's amazing.

My muse Yoshi-sama, found me rather than me finding him. He is the most demanding person I have ever met. Think of Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid. Of the "wax on...wax off" fame. Add the heart of a starry-eyed romantic with the personality of a drill seargant and that is Matsumoya Yoshi.

I ply him with attention, and occasional from-home treats like sushi, yakisoba, gyoza, ramune...well you get the picture. ^-~

Finally had the chance to watch the video and you're right, that was very inspiring. Thanks for sharing it!

Well... when I was younger and developing OCs (for I had a wild imagination...), one day one of them started moving on their own without any normal puppeting I had to do. They were constantly buzzing in my ear like a second mind about this and that. That was, Ehren, my first and only real muse. Obviously I took his name as my screen name so.. LoL I even borrowed and remade his character for my story. At one point I had roughly five muses. Ehren was my 'normal/roamnce' one. Kyouichi (Who appeared to me after a dream) claimed he was a demon and was the 'mischief/action/sexual dominance' muse. Yasuo (who had appeared before Kyouichi) claimed he was an angel and was the 'angst/depression/editor' muse. Kate was my 'fantasy/bookish/fact-checker' muse. Then finally Zekey was my 'violence/horror/guts/gore' muse. Kate and Zekey appeared for a very short time, a couple years, while Kyouichi and Yasuo disappeared about two years ago

I wish...Yoshi is no older brother type by any means, more like a serious task master.

aha. XD Omg. -listening to Elizabeth's speech- That's.. that sounds like me how she's recounting the external thing not-Tom and Tom the musician. XD "Can you go away right now? I'm busy. Bad time right now. Please come back later...?" @ Kyouichi. lololol
