This was based on a prompt that went something like: set your music player on random, and write ten drabbles over the duration of the first ten subsequent songs. Only write one per song, and stop immediately once the song has finished.

Oh, and since I have a great memory, Joseph used to have a '94 Escort, but now has a '93 Corolla.

Bored, tired, and on my way to screw around with the DS.

I've decided to challenge myself via one of the theme tables from 100_situations. This is going to take fucking forever.

So, to the maybe two people who ever read this journal, this is really, really spoiler-heavy material. It completely gives away how the first chapter ends, and gives a pretty strong indication of how the other two chapters end. So you guys may not want to read it. I just finally shoved it out of myself and felt like posting it, though. Anyhoo...

Way before anything that occurs in the actual Mariachi Radio timeline... Aidan's thirteen, Artemio's fifteen, and Kaleb's seventeen. Will probably lead into Artemio getting his first tattoo, and general silliness.

A drabble that was thrown in with Artemio's profile in my notebook:

I'll make an honest attempt to keep this thing organized and separate my posts into topics. Since I'm sure you care.

A little crash course in Mariachi Radio...ism:

Setting - Phoenix, AZ, USA. This was originally going to take place in San Francisco, but then I realized that, despite the fact that San Fran is a really awesome city, I know next to nothing about it. So, I got this brilliant idea that I'd just base the story in Phoenix, since I've lived here my entire life, and the story would actually work pretty well that way. Not to mention details would be five thousand times easier to work out.

Plot - I haven't quite figured this out yet. The plot was originally going to deal with racial profiling and all of that good happy stuff, because it was going to be a September 11th-centric story, but that idea got trashed. The plot that I'm pushing around now is a lot more broad. It's turned into a story about a couple of kids and the lives that they lead. Okay, so it's *really* broad, but I can't really think of a good way to condense it. X\ Whatever. Like I said, it's a work in progress.

I'm a-thinkin' that I'm just going to post character descriptions individually. The ones that I've got done, anyway.
