This is the song EchoPhisto was singing at the beginning. It's from the Leaving Las Vegas soundtrack:


Angel Eyes

Have you ever had the feeling
That the world's gone and left you behind
Have you ever had the feeling
That you're that close to losing your mind?
You look around each corner
Hoping that she's there
You try to play it cool perhaps
Pretend that you don't care

But it doesn't do a bit of good
You've got to seek til you find
Or you'll never unwind

Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My old heart ain't gaining no ground
Because my Angel Eyes aint here

Angel Eyes, they're old Devil-sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's misspent
Misspent with Angel Eyes tonight

So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink and the laugh's on me

Pardon me but I got to run
The fact's uncomfortably near
Got to find who's now number one
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here

Askin' why my Angel Eyes ain't here
Excuse me while I disappear...

Sorry to traumatize you fishy!
*hug*
And don't worry too much about Bluey. I'm not just going to leave her like that.
Great song echo, great song.
Another song I thought of, the lyrics really fit Macphisto right now is a song called "Here With Me" by Dido...
Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide...
I won't go,
I won't sleep,
I can't breathe until you're resting here with me.
-Bluey (who apologizes if she truely scandalized people...)
 
Oh Bluey don't worry about it! I was just commenting on how closely you capture real emotions! Keep it up girl!

I love that Dido song by the way! It is soooo haunting! And perfect for Mac!

We should assemble an official soundtrack!

The FLy in Hell is a nice break from the really heavy stuff! He cracks me up. Very funny to think of him walking in like he owns the place. Also funny thinking about him kissing MacPhisto and Mackie's reaction.

Keep up the good work.
PS The MacPhisto speech to Larry was phenominal...i'm in awe...

Thanks WildHoneyAlways!
I really love writing for Fly, he's just such a fun guy...hillarious. I'm always kind of cheering for him. What a sweetie!
Thanks so much for your niceness everyone, you are making me blush!
-Bluey
p.s. I have plans for The Fly for my next entry which will probably be late tonight...Damn night class, damn it to HELL! (so to speak

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!

I don't want to spoil it for the rest of you, but you know what I am referring to Bona!

Aw geez, can't we get a break around here?

Larry is going to kick arse and take names later if Bono and Adam are right!

Ohhh my gosh Bluey, w/ the Screwtape part- I was almost crying!
And Bona- noooooo!! You should have seen my face when I read that last part. I let out this gasp even!
Yay for Fly! I love him in this story, really.
And I don't know why I thought of this song, I wasn't even a big fan of it or anything, but it just popped into my head while reading. Remember this song? It's "The World I Know" by Collective Soul.

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on

I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why, I don't know why

So I walk upon high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
It's the world I know

Are we listening?
To hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see?
Love that's gathering?

All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one, into one

So I walk upon high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
It's the world I know

Great job Phistos!!!!! And Echo, you're doing awesome too! Now if only you could submit more than one portion every 5 days...kidding!!! Only kidding!

Please-O-please-O-Please let that be the worst that happens to Bluey! Oh my gosh!

"No one comes this time"

I read that verse over and over again...it completely broke me. Some of the scenes in these stories hit a little too close to home...come on, Bluey needs a flicker of hope down there...

I love it, I love it, I love it!

The whole storyline with the Fly in Hell was classic!!! A welcome break from the drama! Not that I mind drama...I must confess I am quite addicted to these stories, I don't know what would happen if you guys lost interest! Right now I should be working on a stained glass window, but what am I doing? Refresh...Refresh...Refresh...

I loved the part where MacPhisto went to check up on Bona and Larry and he was like "How does one go about checking up on people anyway" HA!!! I love his new angel awkwardness!

Poor Bluey...Poor Mackie...Poor Bona and Larry...too many poor people in this story!

Has anyone else noticed the complete absense of alcohol in this story since the Fly proposed to Bluey? Must be some kind of a record for Mackies Mansion!

That's it, I cried. I just couldn't help it. Everyone is so miserable right now. If it weren't for Fly in Hell and how sweet he is I would be a wreck! Just to let you know, my college roommates refused to watch soaps with me b/c I cry all the time. They didn't get my attachment to the characters. Thank you girls for writing such "believable" characters!

Aw cool Olive!! Geez, I should be doing homework now...bah, I say! Bah! I thought of another song from In the Name of the Father: You Made Me the Thief of Your Heart
(sung by Sinead O'Connor and written by Bono, Gavin, etc.)

I hope you're happy now
I could never make you so
You were a hard man
No harder in this world
You made me cold
And you made me hard
And you made me the thief
Of your heart

Winter is cold
Oh, but you're colder still
And for the first time
I feel like you're mine
I'll share you with the one
Who will mend what falls apart
And turn a blind eye
To the thief of your heart

Oh, You lost
Oh, You lost
Hope
You lost hope
You lost hope

I'll never wash these clothes
I want to keep the stain
Your blood to me is precious
Nor would I spill it in vain
Your spirit sings
Though your lips never part
Singing only to me
The thief of your heart

Oh, you lost

Oh, you lost
Oh, You lost
Hope
You lost hope

Oh, you lost
Oh, You lost
Hope
You lost hope

This could apply to a couple of the characters, hah.

The song I have Bono singing when Bona goes up to the roof and discovers him is called "I live not where I love" arranged by W.H. Parry. The lyrics were by Geoffrey Shaw.
biggrin.gif
Don't forget to add HMTMKMKM to that list... it's a classic MacPhisto song and it should be the title piece, IMHO.

Bluey, did you have plans for Lars there? Or should I turn my creative thinking cap on? If you do, don't tell me what they are, but I just wanted to know.. it seems a bit obscure.

That was a good update... I won't give it away for everyone else, but

Click to expand...

Do you have ANY IDEA how intimidating it is to go into that thread and read what Bona and Bluey have written...all that drama and passion and romance and suspense....and then go..."Hmm, you know I'll bet people really give a crap what I'M doing..."

I think I'll be much more comfortable when the Mac Society lightens up a bit...I was thinkin' maybe the next one could be a little more Mona-esque...just a suggestion...

That is so funny Echo,
I was just thinking today that your writing is so good that you probably think I'm the biggest hack in the world! I find it intimidating to write after you!
I know it's a little heavy this time around but that's why we need someone like you who is more subtle. I'm not just blowing smoke, I really like your stuff and I thought your subplot with Edge was excellent. I hope you keep adding on!
Btw Bona...POST!! POOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!!! Damn, I have to go...I'll read later but I shiver with anticiiiiiiiiiiiipation...

Hugs.

Seriously, Echo... We need your writing talents in a story like this so we can have a little relief. Your plot lines are refreshing, I think. Keep posting!!!

And Bluey, sorry about that... I thought it would be an interesting twist... Ah, the things Hell does to people. *sigh* I can't wait to see where you take it!

Oh Bluey, again I have to say you are a great writer. I loved your last update, portraying The Fly as a noble and humorous man. The part that cracked me up was the one with Mac and Fly talking about their kiss. How cool.

I just thought this comic was cute...like

Bluey/Bona/Fly/Mac: "I want to be a Devil...NO! I want to be a Devil!"

Fishy: Well if you just all hold on, Bluey and Bona will make us all devils angels or humans eventually!

I love you guys!

Good Luck with the Block Bona!
