[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]How many girls do you think are actually registered on that site?[/QUOTE]

... Well, that puts things into perspective in both a positive and negative light.

Elaborate.

It's late and my brain refuses to think.

On the one hand, it makes me realize that I wasn't looking in a very fertile ground anyway.

On the other, I just now realized that actually deluded myself into thinking it might work. I've become that desperate.

Just take it day by day :/

You never know who you might meet.

Sounds like an invitation.

I'd think I'd like it being a kid again. I mean, think about how much imagination you had and how much fun you could have with a toy or a film. Sometimes when I find old toys or when I see a film that used to amaze me, I'm often disappointed or a bit sad. You got so much more out of things when you were little.

My teens weren't all that good though, and I'm reasonably happy at the moment.

well I'm off to buy something for father's day

ta-ra...

I just posted the new Great year in music thread. I hope you all enjoy it, there are some awesome albums on there. :thumb:

Morning, all. I have to ferry my parents around today and then go to babysit for these interminable kids, and then come home and chill. How's it hanging with everyone else?

Steerpike: don't bother with those compatibility tests, that's pop psychology.

[quote=Ninja Pirate]Jesus Haploid Christ. I've hit a new low.

I was in a relatively good mood today, so I thought "Well, I'm still single and can't get out as often as I'd like... Just for the hell of it, I'll try an internet dating site. It worked for a couple people I know. It couldn't hurt to try."

Turns out after filling out the personality profile test thing for the past hour, it ultimately told me I'm not inherently compatible with anyone currently registered in the site's database.

This has officially crossed the line into "fuc[font=]king sad." Or is it "fuc[/font]king ridiculous?" I can't tell.[/quote]

[quote=Automated Teller Machine]You wouldn't want to be matched up with a lot of those people anyway, dude.[/quote]

Motion second'd.

[quote=Ninja Pirate]Maybe, but when a database full of people who really aren't that picky anymore turns up 0 results, where do you go from there? I have officially hit the bottom of the barrel.[/quote]

I disagree. Internet dating, to me, seems a bit awkward/fishy. It's almost like going on a blind date to me. What if you got ten results, let's say, and all ten of them had the opposite temprament, personality, likes/dislikes, etc. as you?

I don't trust computers to make decisions for me, really. At least you're making an effort though. Have confidence that sooner or later something's going to work out for you.

And yes, I realize that this is the Internet telling you what to do, which kind of goes against what I say :-\

Me so tired.

Me went to an art gallery last night.

I'm feeling better. It was just kind of a kick in the throat, you know?

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Me so tired.

What gallery? and how was it?

National Gallery, it was boring because our art teacher only let us look at 3 paintings in a 2 hour span :/

ah well at least you got to soak up the artistic atmosphere...

Someone reccomend me some real atmospheric + melodic black metal, I have burzum's Hves Lyset Tar Oss and want to expand...

Summoning - Minas Morgul or Dol Guldur
Blut Aus Nord - Ultima Thulée

Those are albums by the way, but they are all extremely great.

They are from Norway, and they have had over time, three of the top metal vocalists of our time as well. Also I would just call them progressive black metal, they really aren't about the atmosphere in their music...

Garm, Vortex and Vintersorg are all who have sang for Borknagar, which is indeed very cool. The only thing that is bad though, the Vortex era Borknagar is kinda boring insturmentally, but Vortex puts on one hell of a vocal performace, but I think the era with Garm (A Tale of Pagan Tongue, is a great song from this era) is the best.

Borknagar win. I can't decide on my favorite album. Quintessence maybe.

I don't understand the animosity metal fans have for rap, and vice-versa; after all, both genres are just dick-waving contests.

The hell did this come from?

And what would be a "dick-waving contest"?

Well, I dunno, the metal talk at the moment made it come to me.

After all, both genres seem to devolve into contests to see who's tougher, who's "truer". Now, I don't know if metal bands hold the same grudges towards each other that rappers do, but from what I've seen it gets this way among metalheads.

Not to mention that acts in both genres tend to get clausterphobically self-serious and self-indulgent.

I don't know.

From what I have seen, either they get along for the most part. Or the bands don't want to get into a big drama fest and keep it out of the music and their news and such, because frankly, I think that would be quite stupid if they were all whiny bit[SIZE=2]ches[/SIZE] about each other.

Also, the petty squabbles between metal fans are usually between the open minded people, the just plain stupid people, and the big ol' bad elitests :lol:.

Elaborate on this again please.

I don't think there's much to elaborate. For the most part, rappers and metal bands take themselves way too seriously.

They do.. It was shocked when I heard two words 'Rap Metal' It was something I never thought I would hear in the same sentance.

The only thing I could really think where bands take them selves to "seriously" in metal is some bands in black metal.

I'm not very informed on metal, so I apologize if I got too presumptuous.

I know alot of death metal bands do not take them selves seriously, especially when their content is most gore upon more gore and violence. Also, power metal and serious in the same sentece? Haha, is the thing to be said the least.

But bands in black metal, like the LLN group of french black metal are completely 100% serious about every thing in their music, but that was only 4 bands, and I do believe 3 of them disbanded.
