Week 64 Reminder~

Week 64 Themes~

chibikame — Sun, 12 Nov 2006 06:17:08 GMT

It is time. Unfortunately, due to the rapid decline of participation and rapid incline of personal issues and real life, this community has not received the attention it deserves. We apologize to everyone for that but since this is the case, we have no choice but to close the community effective at the end of this contest. I hate to do it but angel_drake and I feel it's something that needs to happen.

So, now, here are the themes. Let's make this last contest the best one we've ever had!

Theme: Farewell - Use the word or synonyms in the icon.

[Lyrical Theme]

[Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven]

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Week 62 Themes

chibikame — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 01:53:23 GMT

Time for the new themes~!!

Theme: Broken - Use the word or synonyms in the icon.

[Lyrical Theme]

[Brand New - The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows]

We saw the western coast. I saw the hospital.
Nurse the shoreline like a wound. We paint a lover's tryst.
We're neither clear nor descript. We kept it safe and slow.
The quiet things that no one ever knows.
Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired. Today's the day we drop down.
Give up my body in bed. All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals. I contemplate the day we wed.
Your friends are boring me to death. Your veil is ruined in the rain.
By then you like to do without. There's nothing new to talk about.
And though our kids are blessed, the parents let them shoulder all the blame.
Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired. Today's the day we drop down.
Give up my body in bed. All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals. I lie for only you. And I lie well.
Halleluh. Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired. Today's the day we drop down.
Give up my body in bed. All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals.

Week 60 Reminder/Extension

chibikame — Sat, 23 Sep 2006 05:05:37 GMT

I'm sorry I didn't post a reminder!!! RL has be hectic lately. Because I didn't do so, we really didn't get enough icons for a contest. To tell the truth, we only have one entry. -__-

We will extend for one more week. That should be ample time for everyone to make pretty icons for us to oogle!

Submit them HERE!!

Week 60 Themes

chibikame — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 07:01:02 GMT

Theme: Burn - Use the word or synonyms in the icon.

[Lyrical Theme]

[10,000 Maniacs - Jezebel]

To think of my task is chilling. To know I was carefully building the
mask I was wearing for two years, swearing I'd tear it off. I've sat
in
the dark explaining to myself that I'm straining too hard for feelings
I
ought to find easily. Called myself Jezebel. I don't believe.
Before I say that the vows we made weigh like a stone in my heart.
Family is family, don't let this tear us apart.
You lie there, an innocent baby. I feel like the thief who is raiding
your home, entering and breaking and taking in every room. I know your
feelings are tender and that inside you the embers still glow. But I'm
a
shadow, I'm only a bed of blackened coal. Call myself Jezebel for
wanting
to leave.
I'm not saying I'm replacing love for some other word to describe the
sacred tie that bound me to you. I'm just saying we've mistaken one
for
thousands of words. And for that mistake, I've caused you such pain
that I
damn that word. I've no more ways to hide that I'm a desolate and
empty,
hollow place inside.
I'm not saying I'm replacing love for some other word to describe the
sacred tie that bound me to you. I'm not saying love's a plaything.
No,
it's a powerful word, inspired by strong desire to bind myself to you.
How
I wish that we never had tried to be man and his wife, to weave our
lives
into a blindfold over both our eyes.

Theme: Animal - Use the word or an animal in the icon.

[Lyrical Theme]

[Jem - 24]

Been given 24 hours
To tie up loose ends
To make amends
His eyes said it all
I started to fall
And the silence deafened
Head spinning round
No time to sit down
Just wanted to
Run and run and run
Be careful they say
Don't wish life away,
Now I've one day

And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time

In 24 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

Is there a heaven a hell
And will I come back
Who can tell
Now I can see
What matters to me
It's as clear as crystal
The places I've been
The people I've seen
Plans that I made
Start to fade
The sun's setting gold
Thought I would grow old,
It wasn't to be

And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time

In 18 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

In 13 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it

And I can't believe
How much I've wasted my time

In just 8 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

In just 1 hour they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
