Easy Ride, Madonna. Quite good, really. :)

Whoop! Another lovely day of, well, nothing really too exciting. I've been updating my Enya site... not a whole bunch of updates, but stuff that really needed updating. As I was checking to make sure all the links in the link section worked, I was sad to find that some sites had closed down.

A while ago, I went to visit Angeles! The Enya Site, but I got an HTTP 404 error. I checked it again today, and once again got the error, so I guess Angeles is gone. This is terribly disheartening. Angeles was one of *the* Enya sites online. When I first started searching for Enya sites online, Angeles was one of the first Enya sites I visited, and continued to visit frequently. Well, Angeles and Magic&Melody, and if Magic&Melody ever closes down, then that's the end of an entire era.

Angeles' closing down is an end to an era too, however. It was one of the first sites ever, I think, to have a fanlisting-type feature - the Enya Fan Database. Though the site is closed, it seems that many Enya sites still display their "Member of the Enya Fan Database" banner proudly. That, or they just haven't checked for awhile and don't realize that it's a dead link. ;)

Anyways, what I'm trying to say, though not very articulately, is that it's sad to see that Angeles is gone. Farewell, Angeles.

Angeles isn't the only Enya site that has disappeared. Adrian Wong's Enya Site, Shai'tan's Enya Page (or whatever, it was either Site, Page, or Website!), Kai Fai's Enya Tea House Moon... one by one, little memories of my Enya fannishness are disappearing. I've been in an Enya mood recently, digging out my many Enya albums and reacquainting myself with them. That's what brought this bout of website nostalgia on. :)

I can't believe how long I've been listening to Enya's music, and I really can't believe how long I've had my trusty Enya site online. It's been online in various forms since, I guess, around 1999/2000. Whew. I know that doesn't seem like such a long time, but do consider that I'm only 17, and I haven't lived that long yet, so four/five years still seems like a long time. :D Aw, my Enya site. *hugs site* It was my first real website, and so I've got a soft spot for it.

In other news... my Maire Brennan fanlisting is now listed on thefanlistings.org! Whee! I am, however, still drumming my fingers impatiently as I wait for a response about my A Night At The Opera fanlisting that I applied for about three months ago... *annoyed* ...and waiting for a response about the Bedtime Story song fanlisting I applied for a week or so ago *not so annoyed*.

Ooh, I want to launch my ANATO fl so bad!! So so so so so so bad! *grrr*

Ah well. Here are three Enya icons that are really quite dodgy...

I originally intended that last one to have an animation, but it turned out to look silly, so now it just looks boring. Only Time isn't even one of my favorite songs, but I like it enough; besides, I have .mov files of the video, so it's easy to make animated icons for the song. ;) For those who are wondering (ha ha), my fave Enya song is Anywhere Is.

...the weird thing is that I'm listening to Madonna's American Life album right now... but this whole post is about Enya. Well, Enya and fanlistings. Huh.

That's all for tonight. :D

Cheery bye, Scarlett
