I only have one “A Flock of Seagulls” song in my iTunes library. Is that shameful or should I be embarrassed?

Boston – March 1770
It was a calm, quiet, winter night. The full moon illuminated the city of Boston below. Paul Revere, a small boy with pink shaved hair and weirdly cut bangs in an attempt to look modern, sits next to his best friend, a lanky teenager with a blue mohawk and face piercings, Allen Williams. Their 18th century jackets, breeches, and tall white socks are in stark contrast to Paul’s magenta Fender Stratocaster guitar and Allen’s acoustic guitar.
The pair came up to this overlook to practice guitar often, but tonight would be very different.
Excited, Paul looks down at the city, “I heard the Sons of Liberty are playing tonight. I can’t wait until I’m old enough to join Sam Adams and his band.”
Visibly angry, Allen replies, “SAM ADAMS?! Why would you want to play for him? He’s not about the music. He’s only happy if he gets to stir up trouble.”
Paul turns away from him, beaming, “Well, I thought if I want to be in a band I might as well be patriotic.”
Allen was used to his friend being a little over the top, but this was too much. He is unable to disguise his disgust.
Embarrassed, Paul changes the subject and points at his magenta hair, “HEY! I’ve been working on my punk rock image. Did you see my hair? It’s super new.”
Allen leans in and touches Paul’s hair. Paul is mortified.
Allen jokes, “It’s not really punk though. It’s more Mike Score. Y’know A Flock of Seag-“
Suddenly, music blares from Boston.
Paul quickly turns and blurts out, “British POP?!”

Ah thank god, I like the dialogue font choice! If you used Digital Strip I would have yelled at you.
Haha, thank you! It’s still a blambot font. It’s called WebLetterer.
I like the line saying how Adams only ‘likes to stir up trouble’. tee hee. I love your color scheme for your page. As much as you don’t like backgrounds, you’re really developing a knack for that lineless background style. I like it a lot.
And there’s nothing wrong with having only one Flock of Seagulls song…you and I are in the same boat. :c
P.S. The song generator just gave me one of my most favorite songs from My Chemical Romance. XD
Awwws, thanks Lianne!
I’m really trying with these backgrounds. The line-less style like this is pretty quick, so hopefully I will be able to keep it up and not have pages with characters floating in some blank void. It’s kind of a new thing for me, but I’m trying to think about backgrounds differently so they won’t be so scary.
The song generator is super fun. I wrote some PHP for it while I was at work because I had nothing to do. I felt like I was getting away with something programming PHP. <— I’m a dork. I have to add some more songs to it. Right now it’s just stuff in my iTunes library.
Ah right, I knew I recognized it from somewhere!
I just despise Digital Strip… to me it’s like the next generation of Comic Sans.

I really don’t think it’s acceptable to have any Flock of Seagulls songs in your itunes.
Oh snap!
But, but, it’s only 1! Guess I should be embarrassed.
It all depends on which Flock of Seagulls song it is if its I Ran your good anything else isn’t acceptable BP
Oh noes. It was “Wishing”. Man I sure wish it was “I Ran.”
I’m back and I’m starting all the way from the beginning! !
I think you’ve just captured the answer perlectfy
Something tells me we’re in for a MUSICAL revolution.
Spoiler!
