Blitzente is:

• newbie. Newbie as in 2008.
• very English.
• a fan of fantasy, sci-fi, webcomics, shounen anime, 90s videogames and science.
• a violinist at heart - small, squeaky and with an overinflated sense of self-importance.
• also a slightly better player of piano (but still quite bad).
• incompetent in two foreign languages, or three if you count American.
• fond of referring to herself in the third person.
• fond of reusing jokes that have already been done to death elsewhere.
• convinced that puns and pop-culture references are the purest forms of wit.
• all you can think about.
• your boyfriend now.
• trying to pinpoint exactly how pointless a wiki edit can get without being reverted.
• putting far too much thought into this bullet-point list.
• struggling to structure all of these sentences without sounding painfully forced.
• failing.

Blitzente is not:

• a very nice person at all.
• your broom.
• a bot, probably.
• desperate.
• on Windows.
• left-handed.

What I-ay

• Waves :(
• a less pitiful live show collection
• a valid excuse for TMBG to appear on Mythbusters, handily combining two of my fangirl loves and high explosives.
• the band to tour in the UK again. Somewhere on the continent would also be fine. I'd walk.

MEMO TO MYSELF: do the dumb things I gotta do

• maybe - maybe if I do enough templates somebody will finally love me
• Interpretations, chronologies, keys and lyrics are all time-wasting things, roughly in order of preference.
• Keyboard is big and intimidating and can be re-alphabetised.
• Check guitars for garbage left in there.
  • Guitar Tab:I Might Be Giants, Too has a broken year and the stray ]] is part of the template, so it is annoyingly persistent.
  • Guitar Tab:Different Town, Guitar Tab:Mission Control and Guitar Tab:Vitamins have basically the same problem but with artists.
• 1 2 3. WWWJDIC and copious guesswork! Woo.
• Move the Clock Radio songs from this show to either "Live 2000-08-19" like this or "2000-08-19 Brooklyn Show" like the rest of them. Which? I don't know, but the first is shorter. Having two is weird.
