Orchestra for school play. I play guitar for it for some reason...counts towards extracurricular activity, which you need to do a crapload of in high school.

I really, truly can't stand it though. Conductor can't keep time, and won't admit he's wrong.

[QUOTE=Bartender]Yeah, I've tried stuff like that (and found how to repond to whatever comments come up), but I've yet to see the same message twice, let alone anything I've entered. It hurts.

EDIT: It is extremely lame, though. This I cannot deny.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I just discovered the novelty of the exclamation point. It reminds me of Eric's yourlittlesecrets site in that they both are pretty stupid.

[QUOTE=Jom]I'm a big proponent for Trillian, heh. It's convenient for my personal AIM contacts and then MX contacts on MSN. If MX people need me on AIM for some reason, I just open up the actual AIM client.[/QUOTE]
I have about three AIM contacts, so it wasn't an issue :-D

I rarely use AIM anymore. Most people I know use MSN anyways.

Heh, I still use DeadAIM to log my conversations and clone AIM clients. It's a nifty little thing, really.

Name: Larry
Severity Category: 4
Situation At: 10PM EST Sunday 19 March 2006
Warning Area: Cape Tribulation to Mackay, extending inland to the Georgetown area
Watch Area: Well inland in the Normanton area
Location: 17.5S 148.2E
Recent Movement: W at 25 km/h
Remarks: Severe Tropical Cyclone Larry poses a VERY SERIOUS THREAT to life and property in the warning area.

The VERY DESTRUCTIVE CORE of SEVERE TROPICAL CYCLONE LARRY with extreme gusts up to 280 km/hr should cross the coast between INNISFAIL and MISSION BEACH between 7am and 9am MONDAY MORNING. DESTRUCTIVE winds are expected to commence along the coast between INGHAM and PORT DOUGLAS early MONDAY MORNING. GALES are already being experienced along the exposed coast in the warning area.

Coastal residents between Cairns and Townsville are specifically warned of the
DANGEROUS storm tide as the cyclone crosses the coast. The sea is likely to
steadily rise up to a level which will be significantly above the normal tide,
with damaging waves, strong currents and flooding of low-lying areas extending
some way inland. People living in areas should be prepared to evacuate if
advised by authorities.[/quote]

*gulp*

Well, I will most assuredly lose power, and the Uni will be closed too, so I will not be online for a while, my fellows.

By the way, email me and tell me if this makes a blip on the radar in North America, or Europe. I doubt it will, of course. We were forcefed almost 6 weeks of coverage on Hurricane Katrina, though.


--------------------------
Also, the ALL IN CAPS parts are their doing, not mine.

As Bartender said [quote]Nice of them to shout the relevant parts for you[/quote]

When I saw that on the news I though of you. Seriously.

:-*

I haven't seen it on the news yet.

[quote=Australian Bureau of Meteorology][url]http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDQ65240.shtml[/url][/quote]This is the forecast... Jason is just at the top of that grey patch on the coast, although you can't see him.

all the best dude, no sleep tonight

that looks like a fun forecast.

my arm feels like it's going to fall off, and my shoulder is massively bruised, i just fired about 250 shotgun rounds.

V for vendetta is such an awesome movie. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Sky News have had a feature on perms but nothing on this storm. Shows how important your country is eh?

ZOMG I met dredg. Look at the dredg thread.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]V for vendetta is such an awesome movie. I highly recommend it to everyone.[/QUOTE]
what's that one about? i'm going out on tuesday night, might go see it.

Wow, why was I so blind to Pandora.com
This is a wicked site, I got it mistaken for something else more lame.

I prefer last FM to be honest.

Edit - I've also never really tried Pandora so I can really share my opinion.

just had a look on pandora.com , pretty cool site. but i left it again and went back to listening to Dream Theater on my stereo :)

last FM = new audioscrobbler, records what you listen to, gives stats on favourite songs / artists etc.

pandora.com suggests new artists for you to listen to.

so what is V For Vendetta about?

/lazy

Something about totalitarian governments and freedom fighters...

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Something about totalitarian governments and freedom fighters...[/QUOTE]

Eh, that's the gist of it.

I'm so bored. I'm noticing my guitar playing's getting better. I love it when you go back to a song you gave up on because you couldn't play it and you can play it now.

That's always an awesome feeling.

EDIT: Goddamn candy is like crack to kids.

I have to sign up for next year's classes this week, but I'm extremely nervous because I'm going to be pissed if the classes I want get filled (they go by class status, so even though I'm basically going to get first dibs, I am the last to go due to alphabet bullshi[font=verdana]t[/font] :upset:[font=verdana])[/font].

I have four potential schedules going, and I'm more or less happy with them, but I'm going to be a-swearin' if my schedules are going to be mish-mashed.

Man that's unfair, you're telling me you might not be able to get the class you want because of your last name?

[QUOTE=Happy]Man that's unfair, you're telling me you might not be able to get the class you want because of your last name?[/QUOTE]

Haha, yeah. Every year I seem to get screwed because they alternate them ever year, but because I take enough credits to move up in class standing, I always get F'd in the A. Meh, oh well, what can ya do but hope for the best? At least underclassmen won't be yanking my classes.

But I'm pretty excited for the classes I'm going to be taking (provided that I don't get F'd in the A). All the professors seem to be pretty cool and while they're going to suck in terms of workload, I should only expect to have a shi[font=verdana]t[/font]ty workload, as I'm near graduation.

Can't you legally change your name to Arnold Aaaaaabacus or something?

Jom Zebedee?
Jom Zankalankoor?
Jom Zephyr?
Jom Zebra?
Jom Zappa?
Jom Zaphrodite?
Jom Zipple?
Jom Zinc?
Jom Zymphomaniac?



NP-The Smiths-What difference does it make?

Anyone have any Trevor Dunn material they would like to trade?

[QUOTE=Happy]Can't you legally change your name to Arnold Aaaaaabacus or something?[/QUOTE]

Someone changed his name to Jesus Christ, so I'm guessing, yeah.

[QUOTE=ICB]Someone changed his name to Jesus Christ, so I'm guessing, yeah.[/QUOTE]
that would bug me, due to the number of people you tend to hear saying "Jesus Christ!!" when they've dropped something in the street, or screwed something up.

Haha, no, my last name doesn't begin with a Z, or in the last quarter of the alphabet at all. It's just something stupid my uni does, I guess.

But yeah, I gotta be optimistic. Hopefully it'll work out.

And then I start my professional program in two years :amaze:

I'm pretty much terrified. But we'll see.

I want too know why :amaze: people make that face when they're amazed?

I'm all about the eyes bulging/jaw dropping thing, not necessarily the laughing part that follows.

It's kind of like :shock: moreso than :amaze[font=verdana]:[/font].

Hey Happy, how do you earn points on that game?
