[QUOTE=Theramed]I found that the best thing is to not plan it all out to much and to just talk about something that you know alot about and literally just keep rambling on untill your time is up because if you plan out a speech for 5-7 minutes it will take you ages and i dont think it will be worth it. this is just my opinion.[/QUOTE]

You want to have some sort of outline at least, trust me. Last year I expected to breeze through my first speech in speech 100, because you were supposed to give a 5-7 minute speech about yourself. I figured that would be nothing, so I went up unprepared and gave a very poor 2 minute speech.

If you are good at improv, make an outline. If you can't improv, make a speech.

By outline, I mean list in chronological order what you want to cover.

Next, they'll appreciate it. Lots of people in school ask me if I do my own shirts, etc, and they all say it's real cool. I think people dig things like that if it looks alright.

Well I'm actually supposed to write an entire paper, but only work off of notes, only using something as a rephrance (like an outine).

Yeah, I think stenciling will be good. and if I can't find a way to drag it on for a long enough time, I will do stenciling/tie-dye.

Definitely go with stenciling and/or tie dye. It would be much easier to extend a lesson on how to do that than to tell someone about a hippy festival.

nice, I like how it's not a patch. The bleach is cool too.
I'm too likley to mess it up to dare to try something like that.

Yeah, it's def. phobia.

yer its phobia but the "I" is too fat.

ratsinthecity403 i messed it up the first time but i scrubbed most of it off before it dried then put it through the washer and it was clean after i think thats partly casue you have to iron over the paint to seal it or something.

lately i have been doing a lot of stencil stuff. but no camera :(. so i will have to show about ten stencils including my sisters sweater whicj is unfortunately a lot of metal bands and i am only half done it.

So I was looking to get some studs/spikes for my jacket lately, but it seems that everyone's queer around here. Belts with spikes are considered illegal, and they don't sell'em. And I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Any suggestions on something I could rip them out of, or something else that'd work?

The internet.

I decided to not do stenciling/tie-dying for speech class. I think only myself and my friends appreciate me being the local sketchy Martha Stewart.

I finally bought more blank shirts to put some stencils I've had done for a while on. Unfortunately, I still only have my shiney paint, which I hate. My friend was going to get me new paint, but eh.

Well ifyou don't think people would enjoy, I suppose it's better you don't do it. But from personal experience, I think you'd be surprised how many people want to create their own clothes, or have others make it for them.

Any ideas for a Dead Boys or Pelle Miljoona T-shirt?


I'm going to NY this summer which will be awesome, because I'm so '77 like that

[QUOTE=Led-ZeppelinIV]Do any of you DIYers know where to get a really psychedelic dress shirt like Hendrix or Clapton or Barrett used to wear? eBay has turned up nothing.

Try eBay or maybe a thrift store. Or go to The Haight.

I'm going to make a new shirt, but I don't know what to put on it. I'm thinking I'll either do a Nirvana one or a Sublime one.

Check out my Riot Folk stencil I made a couple days ago.

I've always liked the Riot Folk logo. It's cute!

I stenciled the Riot folk but messed it up
:(

It's my first stencil that ever turned out half decent, I am rather proud of myself.

Too bad Riot-Folk sucks :p

Kind of like indie :p

PWNT :p
