Sorry if this is a naughty thread, but they have one in R&M and somewhere else so I thought it would be cool.

This is the thread to talk about your life!

Just post whats been happening :thumb:

[Tangy zizzle]

I have half a day off tomorrow, then a whole day off on Friday. Then next week I sit exams.

Ghey.

[br3ad_man]

ghey. I've got few next week, including a maths one where I have to learn a whole term of maths in a week, I just changed classes.

But Muse in 2 weeks :thumb:

[twistinside]

i have yearlies in a week and a half :(

[twistinside]

oh but i'm going to a formal next week so that makes up for it :)

[br3ad_man]

I had my semi last week. Best thing ever.

[AfroMan]

Well, im off for the rest of the day now. I'll probably play my bass for most of the day, maybe go into town(...I doubt it though).

:cool:

[The Ashtray Girl]

I have less than a week left of holiday, but I might as well be at school to be honest, have an obscene amount of work to do. ~frantically types about the Hajj~

My hands are also in quite a lot of pain due to skin peeling off after allergic reaction to sunscreen. Can't play guitar too well right now :upset:

But I have biscuits, so life is not so bad.

[twistinside]

I had my semi last week. Best thing ever.

i think i saw the pictures, if that was you
this isn't my formal though
i hardly even know the guy who's taking me
should be fun but

[AfroMan]

What kind of Biscuits?

:cool:

[The Ashtray Girl]

Chocolate hobnobs. Want one?

[Tapeworm]

Ummm, I am finally starting back at my old job on monday. I finally got it back after having to move back here from Brisbane months ago. I have finally recovered completely from my back injury (only took 5 months!), and I am really excited about working back at the video shop.

I was supposed to be seeing Missy Higgins and The Mint Chicks next week, but my brother missed out on tickets for Missy, and the Minties gig was cancelled due to the venue receiving way too many noise complaints.

I have had a halt on recording my stuff for a couple of weeks now, because I have been sick, and unable to sing up my normally average level.

Last week I bought an electric organ, and I am starting to learn piano.

I talk a lot, but there is a bit going on right now, and it looks like I am finally putting the negative stuff behind me. :)

Your going to see muse? :upset:

Ive been pretty bored, just keep listening to the 'phonics, start collage in a week and half or so, going to jamming session, this thread should be alright, theres one in Pop-punk.

Nah, I'll stick to my digestives.

Weird, some of you are in school right now? I'm still on summer vacation. I start my last year of high school in exactly one week. :thumb:

[CommieCanada]

i started school two weeks ago. in fact, i am leaving to go to school in just a few minutes

[Luxor]

Sucka.

[CommieCanada]

Sucka.
:upset:

[Nra4ever_17]

I start school tomorrow. I'm kinda looking forward to it, as I have had nothing to do all summer. If you want proof, look at my postcount and my join date.

[Happymeal]

Yeah, next week it's my first first day of school here in Canada(I moved here this April from the Philippines, went to school May-June).. I'm a bit nervous.:( Wish me luck!!!:D

[Nra4ever_17]

The Philippines? Cool. What's it like there?

[Untitled]

I started a new school today, which went surprisingly well...I knew some people there, but apart from spending ages on admin and stuff it was genuinely good fun meeting new people. Great thread idea, br3ad man...we've been needing one of these in here :thumb:

Your still in school jonny? i always thuaght you was older then me :upset:

[Happymeal]

The Philippines? Cool. What's it like there?

Well, if you don't have an idea of what the Philippines looks like, I guess you could say the capital, Manila, where I used to live, is the most western-influenced place there, or in Asia for that matter. There's the 2nd largest mall in the world(I miss Philippine malls:upset: ).For the most part, it's pretty polluted, has a corrupted government and its in a pretty bad shape right now for a 3rd world country. Yeah, it's pitiful, that's why we moved here.

But I still miss my friends and everything cool there(especially my g/f, we're falling apart:(:(:( ). I'm definitely gonna go back there for college and hopefully settle there for good..

/shifts to patriotic mode

[Untitled]

:lol:...no, looking at your profile you're actually about a month older than me.

If im a month older than you, and i finished school, surly you should off, Jee, im confused :confused:

You crazy mother****er, I started like 2 weeks ago. :upset:

[AK47]

I also start in like a week. Thank You Canada!

[Sonic_Reducer]

man school feels like such a drag after everything i've been doing this summer. whatever it'll be good to see everyone, and today i might finally get to hang out with this girl my friends been trying to set me up with so i hope that goes well

Wait, you moved to Canada to avoid a corrupt government and pollution? Sorry man, but you ay have messed up there.

If someone would host it, I'd post the song. :) Hint hint nudge nudge...

I am a senior in highschool :cool:
Greatest year of them all. I skipped a lot, I don't think I could have afforded to miss anymore days without losing credit :o
I just graduated, I'm not in college though. Next year...

[KazooVirtuoso]

Just started my third term of college. I'm in a community college right now, but I'm going to transfer to a real university after a few more terms and major in Music Technology. Aka, recording studio stuff mixed with a regular basic music degree.

The only problem is choosing between piano or jazz guitar. The piano audition will probably be easy, even though I haven't played much in years... But I want to go with jazz guitar (it's either that or classical for guitar), and that requires a prepared song to play and the ability to improvise and so on. I barely know any theory, let alone anything like jazz.

My Visual Arts professor this term has a mullet. How cool is that?

[Master Arkam Kannon]

i have nothing on the horizon really thats any change, for the first time in 16 years i will not be learning from a school, not be looking through a book to be told what to think and listen to lectures about what i'm being forced to learn, now its all about what i decide, good or bad, i'm on my own pretty much...

[Nra4ever_17]

Believe me dude, the Phillippines is pretty damn bad.

I know, but have you lived in Canada? The government is corrupt as hell, and the pollution is terrible (especially where I live).

[BillCosby]

No seriously, it's no comparison. The Phillipines is a third world country.

And I live near L.A. so I know all about pollution. ;)

[Lowend]

i'm a week into my freshman year of college. and it's fun stuff.

i have a cold :upset:

[RIPJoeStrummer]

I start at a new school tommorrow. Normally I'd be a little bit nervous and excited, but this year I really have nothing to look forward to. My school is full of idiots, there are only about 400 kids and I live in the "ghetto" part of town so it's pretty much 90% ghetto kids. On the bright side, there's a slight chance I just might meet someone new that I don't utterly hate. If I dont' then oh well, it'll just be the same as always and I'll be getting this high school crap over with.

[Happymeal]

Wait, you moved to Canada to avoid a corrupt government and pollution? Sorry man, but you ay have messed up there.

Sort of.. my parents didn't wanna work there anymore. I understand why you first-worlders think it's terrible there. It is really, considering what's been going on there for the past few years(we had an actor for a president, 2 years in his term we kicked him out. Go figure) but I still miss it..:upset: I lived there all my life dammit! And I won't probably like winter here in Ontario.:mad: Oh well, 2 years to go..

No seriously, it's no comparison. The Phillipines is a third world country.

Pollution's even worse there. But my lungs are used to it. 16 years of experience. Haha:p

[*sweetjane*]

f*ck talking about school. i'm in love with a gutter punk that lives on the other side of the river (i live in kansas city, mo, and the mo river runs through the center of our city) and can only see him by chance, on weekends. even then, there's that whole issue of being at the right place at the right time, because he doesn't have a phone, and rides his bike everywhere. f*ck. also, the filling in my tooth fell out today. i was eating a heath bar, and it just f*cking crumbled out.

[Wanker]

i leave for college in 2 days. twill be fun (even though i'll be a freshman :upset: )

[br3ad_man]

I'm still having a bit of girl trouble but my obsession with her is passing and I'll still like her after it does, but I'll actually be able to live when she's not around.

[twistinside]

i feel heaps un-motivated about school
which sucks cos soon assessments are going to count
:(

[The Ashtray Girl]

Meh... I feel kinda crap at the moment because tomorrow I'm meeting my girlfriend for the first time in five weeks and it's only to break up with her.

[/L&R thread]

[guitarbaz]

hmmm...i don't like my work and want to get another job up in newcastle or edinburgh to be back near my family and mates.
but then i'm in a great band and really love playing where i'm living at the minute.

ah....what do ya do eh?? decisions...

[Happymeal]

^(guitarbaz) Did you think of moving with your band(which seems kinda hard for you)? Otherwise, you have to make some sacrifices I guess..

[guitarbaz]

^(guitarbaz) Did you think of moving with your band(which seems kinda hard for you)? Otherwise, you have to make some sacrifices I guess..

nah, they won't move just for the band. on the bright side, if i do move it'll be to a much bigger city with hopefully more musical opportunities. we'd still do a few "re-union" gigs anyways i guess.
it's a sacrifice i'm resigned to having to make at some stage tho... :upset:

At least you have the right idea about actor presidents (Reagan..cough cough). And no, you won't like the winter. In Nova Scotia we got a meter of snow in March, and the climate is pretty similar.

[Happymeal]

Are you kidding? That actor president didn't even finished high school! He even got kicked out in the school I used to study in. *disgrace* The masses easily get swayed by actors.. which is a pity..

I'm used to the heat. In the Philippines the lowest temp's 18 degrees! I don't like cold places.. I guess I just have to get used to it.:upset:

Oh, 18oC is considord quite warm here, to say top temp of the year is about 25-29 :thumb:

[Happymeal]

Yeah, I know, 18oC here is "warm".:lol: Back home the top temp can go up to 39oC! You'll get your skin fried if you stay outdoors for a long time. But we used to go to the beach during Christmas vacation, that's cool.:cool:

[TaxPayer]

In farenhieght(sp) or celeious(sp) though

You really butchered those two words didn't you?

Um, I've just started a new school. I'm in a mixed 6th Form in a girls school and it's the SHIHAT! It's great really. I've probably met more new people in these first one and a bit days than in five whole years at a boys grammar school. Most guys are so boring, I don't even feel the need to talk to them. Anyway, the new school's good. But I need some new strings for my guitar.

My new band had it's first jam today. Things are going very well.

[Happymeal]

I'd like to have form band someday(I still have to improve my guitar playing, erg) with my friends back home.. I miss 'em..

(out of place but) You guys know any good guitar lessons website where I can start from scratch(with notations and all)? I've been playing for 3 years now but I can't seem to get any better.:p The Guitar forum here doesn't help either..

School's gonna start in 4 days! I'm very excited! And nervous!!!

[Wanker]

gahhh! i'm moving to college tommorow, and i'm still packing. i'm just afraid that i'm bringing TOO much stuff.

[RollerQueen]

Bring ramen noodles, clothes, and a sheet. That's all you need.

thats what i planned on bringing at first, but then i decided against it. the dreamcast is going though :thumb:

Look in the Lesson and Articles section of guitar. If that doesn't work, I'll tell you some sites.

[Happymeal]

Ok, I'll check it out again and see if it helps. I'm getting a bit rusty these days, I need to figure how to get better on notation.. Otherwise I'm going to flunk at school:p

[br3ad_man]

lol, I completly fail rhythmic aural skills tests at school. The only thing that gets me thorough is my theory, chord recognition of interval recognition. I guess I'm just not destined to be in Dillinger Escape Plan.

Im waiting for feedback from na interview i had, should hear from them on tuesday.

Erm, im also quitting my current job and need to write a letter of notice tomorrow.

meh.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Argh, back to school finally tomorrow. Not fun, but hey, I get new stationery! It's the simple things in life... Only problem is, haven't finished all my coursework, or practised the piano much, and my teacher already thinks I'm gonna struggle with my Grade 5 this year. So yeah, general eekishness.

stationary shopping is by far the greatest thing about going back to school

i feel so yuck right now the thought of cookies is gross :(

and ooh it's storming here!

[Oli_m]

Wow, i never noticed this thread before! I guess i should really post in it.

Yeah, erm, so i've been back at school the past few days. Its weird but ill get used to it. I saw my friends band who were awesome!

Br3ad_man did a great Aphex Twin review! :thumb:

Cookies are great!

[Happymeal]

I think I should buy a new deodorant for school. Speed Stick sucks. OMG 2 days of summer left!!!:upset: Hm.. I never really checked out Aphex Twin before. Might as well. Eh, cookies? I dig those mini Chips Ahoy cookies with M&M's

[Oli_m]

Eh, cookies? I dig those mini Chips Ahoy cookies with M&M's

I had a job interview today. "I hope I get it, I hope I get it!"

[thetwaz]

what job you going for?

[Wanker]

ugh. i just woke up and i have class in 45 minutes. i can't wait till this semester is over. in my writing class, we actually have to write 5 3-page reports. but they each need a 5 page freewrite rough draft and a 2 page middle draft. poop :upset:

(home)work sucks

[The Ashtray Girl]

On the upside, I'm on MX whilst everyone else is doing Games.

On the down side, I got a really majorly crappy part in the school play (Twelfth Night) ~cries~ and I have a ridiculous amount of work at the moment.

But hey, I'm amazed I can post, I was convinced they were gonna ban me along with the rest of Humor's thread. Anyone know what happened, I can't quite work it out.

[Tomahawk]

Hmm... today, I almost crashed the car. But then I didn't.

Also, I saw the movie "The Village". It was not a good experience.

[Wanker]

Also, I saw the movie "The Village". It was not a good experience.

yeah, people said that the movie was either scary as hell or the stupidest movie ever.

[guitarbaz]

Also, I saw the movie "The Village". It was not a good experience.

Yeah, I've heard it's not quite as good as the critics have ben saying. And any good movie of that ilk really won't be a 12. i mean, you need scary s.hit and people being killed horribly.
or maybe that's just me... :evil:

[thetwaz]

Generally as long as it has some sort of rotted corpse in, a movie can keep me from sleeping for a fair while. (ie. Ghost Ship, I still leave the door of my cupboard open at night :upset: )

[Tomahawk]

Only 2 movies have ever scared me. The Shining, and Silence of the Lambs. I'm so tuff.

Yeah anyways, I didn't really expect the Village to scare me, I just kinda hoped that it wouldn't be too painfully boring.

[guitarbaz]

Only 2 movies have ever scared me. The Shining, and Silence of the Lambs. I'm so tuff.



:lol:

Ringu (the original Japanese version of the Ring) scared the living s.hit out of me. and i can still make my g/f scream like a girl (so to speak) when i do the "coming out of the TV funny walk" thing.
i'm one evil mofo. :naughty:

[thetwaz]

He has his moments, Unbreakable was a really imaginative take on the superhero genre, and the Sixth Sense was pretty good too.

[Tomahawk]

Yeah Shmamyamalan is super overrated. Sixth Sense and Unbreakable are pretty good, but Signs is stupid. He's got a swerve fetish. He's probably like that all the time. Like, "I'd like to order a cheeseburger... HAHAH! SWERVE! I WANT A BIG MAC! Oh man I totally had you going there!"

I will say that the Village was visually really good, but other than that it was suckful.

[Tapeworm]

^^^ haha, exactly what I would assume.
what job you going for?
A job at the nice big corporate screwball record shop, Sanity.

[Wanker]

yeah, signs did suck, actually.

it really wasnt scary at all.

[Tomahawk]

A job at the nice big corporate screwball record shop, Sanity.
Sanity? Ah jeez dude, I hate that shop, they charge way too much. I'm actually boycotting them. It's a one man boycott, but I think they're beginning to feel the pain.

I'd love to work there though.

[Tapeworm]

Haha, that's how I always felt, but it's the only record store in the town where I live, so if I get the job I get 25% off everything, so it will be normal price. I'm going for the job to make it, for me, like a good record store.

Sanity does, however, have some really good buys sometimes. I got like every Dylan album I own for $10 from there.

[guitarbaz]

I've never seen that, but it sounds scary as hell. Personally I think that Shymalan (sp?) is very overrated as a director. Signs was pretty bad, and The Ring really dissapointed me.

Yeah the original was more psychological,chilling and inferred and left you with poop in your pants. the US version I still liked but it went too far in making the story a bit more obvious for general consumption. Less is more imho.
signs was actually quite funny, was it meant to be scary?? lol.

[guitarbaz]

He has his moments, Unbreakable was a really imaginative take on the superhero genre, and the Sixth Sense was pretty good too.

i thought sixth sense was pretty clever. i like that in a film. if i can understand the storyline in a film then i'm disappointed. hence i love mulholland drive. i still don't understand it now. :confused:

[Happymeal]

Japanese horror movies was really a fad back home, and for me, they're scarier than most horror/suspense films right now. If you can get hold of a copy of The Ring trilogy or The Grudge(part 1), good for you. Good luck sleeping with the lights out though. Speaking of movies, anyone like The Butterfly Effect? I thought it was really great, kinda creepy too. One of the few recent good movies, IMO.. and I wanna watch The Girl Next Door sooo bad too..:upset:

[Wanker]

Ringu was awesome :thumb:

[Tomahawk]

Speaking of movies, anyone like The Butterfly Effect? I thought it was really great, kinda creepy too. One of the few recent good movies, IMO..
The best recent movie by far, is "Anchorman". It's the balls.

[Tapeworm]

Girl Next Door was cool.

I thought the Directors Cut of Butterfly Effect made it way too Donnie Darko. It was a better film than I expected it to be though, and yes I have seen the proper version as well.

Best recent movie I've seen is probably Monster.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Hero, Garden State, and Its Delovely have been my favorite movies ive seen this summer...

[Happymeal]

The best recent movie by far, is "Anchorman". It's the balls.

Ah, I haven't watched that yet but anything with Will Ferrell(sp?) in it is always the balls.. reminds me of Superstar, hahaha. Watch The Grudge(Japanese horror) if you have the chance, it's awesome too. Hero is the ****!! I think that it's very underrated, and most people only see it as "a cool flying kung-fu movie". Oh god I wanna watch The Girl Next Door so bad. My nympho tendencies are acting up again..

[Wanker]

I thought "balls" was supposed to be used in a negative context?

such as: aww, balls :upset:

[Tomahawk]

It's used in a positive context in Anchorman, and I've been using it like that ever since. Because I'm an unoriginal bastard.

[Tapeworm]

I really wanna see Napolean Dynamite. I think that's what it's called, I always forget.

[guitarbaz]

I thought "balls" was supposed to be used in a negative context?

such as: aww, balls :upset:

over here it's something good, but used in the context "the dog's bollocks" meaning something good. and bollocks means balls.
heh. an alternative english lesson.

[twistinside]

i went for a job today
i don't think i'll get it though

[Tapeworm]

^ ^ ^ You never know...

I got a callback for Sanity, and I have to go do another freakin interview. Ewww.

[Wanker]

^ ^ ^ You never know...

I got a callback for Sanity, and I have to go do another freakin interview. Ewww.

for that record store? maybe you should keep you soul in a mayonaise jar and put it on top of the fridge before you go to work everyday.

[Tapeworm]

Yeah I'm not too happy about that, but it's about the best job I can get in my town, as it's the only record store. Plus I get 25% off CDs, so my soul's probably not worth that much.

[Wanker]

25% off???

heck, you should gift-wrap your soul and give it to the owner of the store.

...then i realize that downloading is even cheaper than 25% off...

in conclusion: meh.

[Tapeworm]

Ha, I would get paid to work there though, and possibly I can get some influence over the way it's run. Hey hey. I think working in a video store and a record store would definately be very awesome.

[Wanker]

Yeah, just think of all the useless knowledge you'd be able to collect after working there for years on end.

anyways: working at a record store > working at a video store


:cool:

[thetwaz]

It's always been my dream to work in a shop like Empire Records (Thats a fictional shop for anyone who hasn't seen the film.) Aside from being an international rock star, a test pilot and an astronaut of course....

[Tapeworm]

Exactly, I think it is gunna be pretty sweet if I get the job.

[twistinside]

i'm applying at blockbuster tomorrow, cos i don't think i'll get the roger david job

you're in australia hey, tapeworm?

[Tapeworm]

Yeah I am. Working at video stores is the best too, I work at Civic.

[twistinside]

civic? i haven't seen a civic store in like, years!!

[twistinside]

in other news, i'm hungry

[Wanker]

in other news, i'm hungry

me too. i'm gonna grab some easy mac :thumb:

[Tapeworm]

I get paid tomorrow, so I might buy some cds, or maybe just try and save for another guitar...

[Luxor]

I need a job. My bank account has a total of $32.73 :upset:

[Tomahawk]

Ditto^

I spent all of my money on alcoholic beverages. :upset:

[Waky Ball]

I have a girlfriend now, finally. It's been over a year since I've been out with anyone, and I've only had 2 gf's before my current one. Plus, I've only been going to the school here for about a month, so I'm pretty psyched about this.

[Luxor]

OUCH.

I don't have a job, my parents still don't have a job, I'm getting a little suicidal these days. yay

Yet you still insist on buying all your music as opposed to downloading? :amaze:

[Happymeal]

Yeah, I guess so.. but lately I've been DL'ing a lot on slsk and saving up my money.. besides, my dad's gonna kill me if this laptop crashes(again) because I'm "overusing" it. Argh, I hate him sometimes. Being poor sucks.

And I'm still not done on my homework..grr

[Tangy zizzle]

I'm on holidays at the moment.

I go to Rarotonga in about 15 days... life is good.!

[br3ad_man]

I just got back from my school's mission trip. That was really cool.

[br3ad_man]

OUCH.

I don't have a job, my parents still don't have a job, I'm getting a little suicidal these days. yay

/sad

That sucks man, but things will pick up for you. Just stay through it and life will change for the better.

[Happymeal]

Yeah, I hope so..:p thanks.

[br3ad_man]

Thats cool man, just keep your head up, hey? Keep me posted on your situation and if you ever need to talk to someone, you can get me on MSN.

[Tapeworm]

Sheeeeet Happymeal. Hey man, same as what Bread said goes for me. You can talk to me if you want/need to. :wave:

I have a girlfriend now, finally. It's been over a year since I've been out with anyone, and I've only had 2 gf's before my current one. Plus, I've only been going to the school here for about a month, so I'm pretty psyched about this.
On another note, I just got a new girlfriend too. I hadn't properly been out with anyone for over a year, because all that happened during that time was girls screwing me over really bad. I'm really happy though. And I made up with some friends the other night too.

[thetwaz]

*throws mini party in tapeworms honour*

I've been a bit weird when it comes to females recently actually, I haven't really properly wanted to go out with someone for a while, about a year or so now. Which is weird, because I spent about two years before that desperately wanting a girlfriend.

hmm.

On a plus note, we're doing 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale in English Lit. Both of which look like awesome books.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm iiiillll. Not seriously, but I've caught the bug that's going around. Not impressed.

But my drama coursework is going well, hurrah!

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm being incredibly topical and a little controversial and doing a slightly physical theatre-ish piece about the recent Russian Beslan crisis. Previously, I've done a 60s play, a piece based on Shakespeare's All The World's A Stage speech and something based on a poem. It's a ridiculous amount of work, but fun all the same.

[Happymeal]

I think my life's on an all-time low right now.. It's not easy being far away from my friends, especially my girlfriend(who doesn't want me anymore). Reality hit me hard the past few days. Thanks guys. *group hug* I'll try to be less sentimental next time. haha

[twistinside]

um, on a lighter note
my exams are over
and in two days i'll be on holidays!

[Liberi]

I have exams in two weeks.:(

[twistinside]

argh exams are so yuck
good luck though

[br3ad_man]

exams are ghey :(

[Liberi]

Luckily it is only mock exams, so they don't really count for anything. I have the proper exams 2 or 3 weeks after the mocks.:(

[Renaissance II]

Wow, another community thread.

[twistinside]

Luckily it is only mock exams, so they don't really count for anything. I have the proper exams 2 or 3 weeks after the mocks.:(

what do the real exams count towards?
is this high school

[Liberi]

what do the real exams count towards?
is this high school
It is the equivilant of high school, and the mock exams count towards what we can do in University (the equivilant of College over in America) and count towards what we can do next year in what you Americans call high school.

[twistinside]

i'm australian

where are you from

[Liberi]

i'm australian

where are you from
New Zealand. :thumb:

[twistinside]

ohh
so if you're not even in highschool yet,
why do your exams count towards uni already?

[Liberi]

I am in high school, well the equivilant of high school. I'm 15 turning 16 incase that helps clear up the confusion.

Also New Zealands system is weird, the last 3 years of your college/high school life counts towards uni entry.:(

[twistinside]

ohh for real
my last year of highschool is starting in approx 2 weeks
and that means my work is going to start counting towards uni etc
it's scaryyyy

[Liberi]

How old are you?

[twistinside]

17.

[Liberi]

Oh cool.

[Wanker]

todays the first day of fall, isn't it, guys?
:(

[twistinside]

um, no

[Wanker]

um, no

ok.

[twistinside]

i thought the seasons changed at the beginning of september?

[Liberi]

Yeh spring in the Southern hemisphere begins at the start of September, Autumn begins in the Northen hemisphere at the start of September.

[Happymeal]

I saw a school band yesterday and we walked 5 km for the research foundation thingy.:p that was so tiring..argh.

[Tapeworm]

I just got home from a crazy night. I think my broher has been sucked in by my ex-girlfriend (who is also his ex-girlfriends sister).

[Zmev]

that sucks...i think

oh man i cant wait for next month, bridge school charity show (for those who dont know google it).


edit: so i got the date wrong, shut up

[br3ad_man]

My forum just had it's first spammer :eek:

[Zmev]

Not to mention you're going to the bridge benefit concert!

True that, cant wait :D

Stupid sleeping crap kicking again, now its 5:30am and ive been awake for 2 hours, eh.

[Tapeworm]

Geeez, I go to bed at like 3 30. Crazy fella.

Anyway, today I was watching 'One Perfect Day' again, and it made me remember how big my ideas used to be for my songs, and for recording with all kinds of weird percussion. I'm going to throw myself completely into that again, and hopefully get some kind of portable recording device so i could perhaps get samples, otherwise just find stuff to hit and layer it on.

I'm really excited. :D

[guitarbaz]

i've got a great recording setup but when i split up with the ex i had to move into a smaller house and there's not enough room for me to set it all up... :upset:

really annoying as i too have a lot of ideas i want to try out.

and on another note, i just found out that i didn't get a job i'd had an interview for. bloody hell.
and it's monday. :angry:

[Tapeworm]

Hah, yeah, I live back with my parents for now and my room is tiny. I have a drumkit, two guitars, two amps, a bass, an organ, and recording equipment. It's crazy. Not to mention all the other stuff thats in there.

I was guaranteed a job I had two interviews for and I didn't get it. I was confused.

are you me?

that sounds crazily similar, well apart from being back at my parents. now that's just not going to happen unless i'm declared bankrupt. :lol:

all this creativity going to waste man. it's criminal.
mind you, so are some of my compositions. :D

[Tapeworm]

It is indeed very very similar.

I find that every time I sit recording I get more and more easily satisfied with the take. Then I stop, and go listen to Elliott Smith or something and 10 minutes later I'm erasing my stuff. Haha.

[thetwaz]

I would have that crazy amount of stuff if I could afford it.

*sigh*

I need a job.

[Tapeworm]

Eh, it's all really dodgy though. Don't tell anyone. :)

[CommieCanada]

woohoo! i am up for mod in pop-punk forum.

if you feel compelled to vote for me, i understand

/campaining

[Happymeal]

I'm still thinking it over though, it's either you or Kif. You should spend more time here ya know. I sense a lot of Alt/Indie in you.

[Tangy zizzle]

Nah he's pop-punk to the Xcore.

[CommieCanada]

I'm still thinking it over though, it's either you or Kif. You should spend more time here ya know. I sense a lot of Alt/Indie in you.
i spend a lot of time in here actually, i just dont post much. i read almost everything though

[Well_Respected_Man]

How is everyone, I'm in a great mood.

[Liberi]

I'm still thinking it over though, it's either you or Kif. You should spend more time here ya know. I sense a lot of Alt/Indie in you.
Na I think it is out of Kif Joel or Commie. It will be exciting to see who gets picked, and if Mx will actually mod them.

[twistinside]

How is everyone, I'm in a great mood.

i'm sad cos i was meant to go out today
but i woke up at like 1.30
and i feel sort of sick :(

[BillCosby]

How is everyone, I'm in a great mood.


Me too, new cd's always make me happy. :D

[CommieCanada]

Me too, new cd's always make me happy. :D
Which CDs?

[BillCosby]

Which CDs?

Mahavishnu Orchestra- "Birds of Fire"
Echo and the Bunnymen- "Crocodiles"'

Good stuff.

[Happymeal]

^I wanted to buy Echo and the Bunnymen's live album(I forgot what it's called) but I couldn't find it anywhere!!! I'm planning to buy a Blood Brothers album this weekend.

[Wanker]

hey everyone, the Alt/Indie forum just hit 60,000 posts today. :chug:

/me parties











/me takes nap

[The Ashtray Girl]

Wahey, cool!

[Happymeal]

That's awesome. I was just wondering if this forum had a mod-voting too..hmm

[Tangy zizzle]

That would be good.

There needs to be another mod for this forum. How do we nominate or whatever?

[Happymeal]

A poll won't work, and(if all goes well) I think the pop-punk voting's fine, it's not too complicated.

How do we nominate or whatever?

Take it to another thread, and get all the regulars' attention.

[Tangy zizzle]

But who should be mod...?

[br3ad_man]

Everyone. I think all of the regular posters in here are worthy of modship. I suppose if it came down to it though, I'd vote Tangy or IHateUsernames

[br3ad_man]

I'm voting for Commie. He is usually cool to everyone. Kif knows a lot but he was mean to me a few times :(

[Luxor]

Yeah, this place could be a lot cleaner. I'm gonna try and start making some more decent threads.

[Tangy zizzle]

I try but people ignore me

My JR Ewing, Icarus Line, Radio Death (my song), Rogue Wave, Pilot To Gunner, Dirty Three threads all went relatively unnoticed.

[Luxor]

Not popular enough music, and a lot of people aren't open to new music.

[Wanker]

Not popular enough music, and a lot of people aren't open to new music.

I would look for some of that stuff online like I used to be able to do, but now I'm at college and they have a closed network. No P2P file sharing :upset:

Love is beautiful.

I still wasn't necessarily a bad n00b though.

subject change:

I'm going to see Explosions in the Sky on the 8th in New York City. Is there anyone else going to their show that date and is there anyone that can tell me how great the show is?
