[QUOTE=DM]My worst splinter ever was a big chunk of wood (alright, not huge but basically a 1/4" square piece of wood) under my fingernail. Instead of waiting until it fell out I cut a hole in my fingernail to remove it. I generally just take out my splinters the animal way - with my teeth.[/QUOTE]

Well, I get most of my splinters on my feet, so I can't get 'em out with my teeth...I mostly just cut holes in my feet and pry the splinters out.

[QUOTE=DM]My best friend (The Friend) and I have always been really physical and open about our almost sibling love for each other. My girlfriend (she;s been upgraded from The Girl!) has seen us together like this for almost 6 years so it's so second nature that it has never come as any suprise or instilled any jealousy anywhere. It's a very nice situation that I have a feeling is fairly rare. Sorry about your girlfriend and friend not liking each other :/ must be tough.[/QUOTE]

"Physical sibling love"? WTF...you DO live in New York/New Jersey and not Tennessee, right?

But yeah, that is an enviable position. My best friend is male so obviously there are no jealousy issues there, but I think there are some jealousy issues here...hell, it's possible that my friend has romantic feelings for me. It's too bad, because I certainly don't have them back.

[QUOTE=RippingCorpseAttack]Glad to know you had a nice day, ATM.

I've decided today that I really f[i]u[/i]cking hate the motherf[i]u[/i]cking disgrace to heavy metal that is Opeth. I want to personally shove a block of C4 down Mikael Akerfeldt's throat.[/QUOTE]

:( :( Why?

[QUOTE=Cain]:( :( Why?[/QUOTE]

Don't worry, man. I am with you, Opeth is good music.

/lurks

I too, am curious as to the reason for the Opeth hate.

Well, I kind of like Opeth, so they're probably not very good or troo

/making fun of his pathetic lack of metal knowledge

also, sup Otherside.

Well, RCA isn't online anymore, so...

Anyway, hi. Haven't seen you for a while. :)

I should do what RCA did and put an ATM machine in my avatar.

NP: Pinback

Hey, not much, just browsing MX, listening to some Radiohead, and getting frustrated at the site downtime.

Your girlfriend/friend situation sounds bad, hope that shapes up. Luckily for me, all my female friends pretty much know my girlfriend... it's the male friends that I have to worry about...

[QUOTE=madeyadams]ATM: You loser.

P.S Hay thread lozl.[/QUOTE]

You can act like you hate me all you want, but I know we have an unspoken bond.

[QUOTE=Cain]:( :( Why?[/QUOTE]

It'll be something to with the fact that they're both really boring and really popular, I think. A couple of other people I know feel that way, anyway.

Yah, I've been busy with finals recently... a computer engineering Vocats and two honors biology/geometry EOCs(endofcoursetests) didn't leave me with much free time, not to mention all the end of the year gatherings. Now that I'm off on break I'll try and post in here more :)


In other news, my girlfriend is off to Ireland for 2 weeks tommorow morning... tis a sad day :(

[QUOTE=Bartender]It'll be something to with the fact that they're both really boring and really popular, I think. A couple of other people I know feel that way, anyway.[/QUOTE]

They are indeed really popular. Ever since Eleventeen started liking them as way to shrug off the KoRn insults I knew they were headed for trouble.

And they are NOT boring!! :mad:

More like Slowpeth, amirite?

:lol:

[QUOTE=Otherside]In other news, my girlfriend is off to Ireland for 2 weeks tommorow morning... tis a sad day [/QUOTE]

I feel for you...my girlfriend leaves for Spain and Italy for a month in July.

Also, allow me to again state that I like Opeth...that's how freakin' mainstream they are (by metal standards).

[QUOTE=Cain]They are indeed really popular. Ever since Eleventeen started liking them as way to shrug off the KoRn insults I knew they were headed for trouble.

In his/their opinion, of course :)

SubtleDagger dislikes them because they're boring/slow, for example.

[QUOTE=madeyadams]ATM: You loser.[/QUOTE]

Agreed.

Is madey really in any position to call someone a loser?

She [b]is[/b] dating a wigger, after all :p

[QUOTE=Bartender]In his/their opinion, of course :)

Yeah, well, fine. I've never liked Subtledagger since him and Jared tricked me into thinking they were the same person, so bleh.

/not as serious as that of course. :p

I guess you'd be the same kind of person that would dislike Sigur Ros if slow and boring is criteria for disliking Opeth.

I saw Madey's boyfriend's scrobbler.

/muffles laughter

Ouch, that's an extremely good point. :)

I don't know for sure, but based on his inactivity (his last post was 5/26) I would say he is on vacation now.

Does anyone know where to get Midi files that are just the Drums and the Vocals?

Backing tracks, some with vocals, some without, all guitar-less.

Well, sorry. Another opinion change here, I thought Opeth was a metal band when I was forced to listen to them today. Now I realize that they aren't, so the reason that I hate them is totally invalidated.

What do you mean?

Gah! I share all this music on IM and all I ask is that you just take it and don't annoy me about the music you take. If you want to just talk about music that's cool, but don't ask me about the music I share. So of course, some douchebag has started taking from me which I don't mind but he always asks what this band is like and which album is best. I have told him god knows how many times to stop asking me and consult metal-archives but he refuses. I feel bad blocking him because I didn't pay for the music and like to do people this favor but he is so annoying, even after I told him the rules.

And I love Opeth. Easy to listen to metal that isn't super simple. Their greatest flaw though is a lack of interesting fills and little nuances. They just repeat everything as is x number of times with no cool guitar fill or anything.

How are they not a metal band?

So you were blindly hating them only because they're metal?

[QUOTE=BoboTheRagingHobo]How are they not a metal band?[/QUOTE]

I hope we don't get another tr00ness invasion. I think RCA's better than that.

[QUOTE=cjborton]So you were blindly hating them only because they're metal?[/QUOTE]

No. He thought they were metal, so he thought that they were a very bad metal band. When he heard them they werent tr00 enough so hes saying they arent metal, and that makes them better.
