I might get some sleep over winter break. We'll see how things work out. But for the moment, I have three tests this and next week, my computer died on me and has to be sent in, and finals week is only two weeks away. I'm so busy it's not even funny, and I probably shouldn't even be posting! So yeah, I should go before I'm late for class. Luckily it's a fun one!

[What]

Something I'm starting to think that is way too much of a bother.
I'm also working during the Christmas break, but dunno what time shifts I'll be pulling. Probably early ones....like you, What.
Good thing about those is the fact that the rest of the day is free.

[xenahorse]

Very true. And (generally) people tip more in the morning.

[xenahorse]

I found out that my first-choice college accepted me! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to Lake Erie!

I wanted by a college! Hooray!

[xenahorse]

It's not like anyone reads this anymore, but I'll go ahead and talkhere anyways. Just finished my two hardest finals: Physics and AP Bio. Next I've got AP Econ, and I'm so exhausted from all this studying that I might not work at it at all. Which would be very bad for my grade right now. Yep/

[What]

Congrats on the college acceptance and good luck on your finals!

[xenahorse]

Thanks:D
Just one more day and they're over!!!

[Shadow]

I got accepted to Hofstra University, but it really doesn't matter to me, as I haven't gotten accepted to their school of music yet. I still have to wait for my audition in mid-january.

[xenahorse]

I hope you'll do good. You certaintly seem to be obsessed about music...hope that helps you!

[Shadow]

I use my powers of thread necromancy to bring this thread back from the dead.



RISE

[xenahorse]

YOU'VE COME BACK TO LIFE...nice to see ya again around here, Shadow

[Shadow]

Herro thar.

How're we all doing?

[Der Läufer]

I'M DONE WITH THE ACT AND PSAE!!!!! :D And we got our NO HOMEWORK DAY for tomorrow!!!!

[Shadow]

haha, as a senior, every day is no homework day.

[laVieBoheme]

only Five more weeks until summer! and a AP tests are almost upon us...

[pianogirl2422]

Finals next week- I hope I don't fail!


Coffee is great, it's been awhile since I had a cup, but I just had one now and boy am I feeling it. I'm sooooooo incredibly hyper I feel like doing something like posting over and over and over and over and over in the shoutbox or running laps around the dorm. Wow...this is so weird I haven't had coffee affect me like this in....years.....coffee deprivation I guess......I'll probably crash at some point...but omgomgomg I'm so hyper right now I feel like dancing...WHAT A GREAT IDEA *dances to happy feet*

[Der Läufer]

Wow. I can't live without coffee. It's what gets me going in the morning, keeps me going, and keeps me alive. lol Whoever came up with coffee, I owe you my life! lol

[pianogirl2422]

lol, it stopped affecting me about a year and a half ago. Coffee hiatis (using coke instead of coffee) has cured that apparently.

*dances more*

[xenahorse]

Gaah, I think I just want to kill my blasted horse- except that she's pretty much taken care of that on her own. She's gone lame (means that she's in pain and limping) and the vet thinks that she might have torn a ligament! Blasted hore- I won't know until Mon; if she's still lame by then then it means she's really hurt herself...which means that I'll have to spend a bunch of money to get the vet to make her better.....

At least the song I'm listening to now is good! Enter Sandman, by Metallica. Oh, it changed. 'Nother good one- Jailbreak, by ACDC....now I need to finish stuffing those blasted grad invites
(<--<) <---dancing Kirby

[Shadow]

horsies cost lots of money to care for it seems. I hope your horse gets better though.

[laVieBoheme]

So i was listening to GunsnRoses today....I forgot how much they put me in a good mood! them and the Doors- i am in love with The Doors I think...

[Shadow]

I abhor guns and roses.

Need to listen to The Doors at some point in my life.

[xenahorse]

...I like Guns'n'Roses...esp 'Paradise City. I don't lke the Doors as much, though-prolly because my dad LOVES the Doors.

horsies cost lots of money to care for it seems. I hope your horse gets better though.

Thanks, I hope she gets better soon, too. I find out on Monday.....:eek:

[pianogirl2422]

...I like Guns'n'Roses...esp 'Paradise City.



Thanks, I hope she gets better soon, too. I find out on Monday.....:eek:


Wow...I was just singing that song in my head earlier today...I didn't know that was Guns'n'Roses though...oh well

And best of luck with your horse!

[Shadow]

Maybe you can make your horse into a cyborg horse. And then ride it around the world kicking people's butts in some post-apocalyptic film-like life.

[pianogirl2422]

I can soo totally put in you in touch with some engineers for that!!!!;)

[xenahorse]

Hmm...not a bad idea. I bet she'd eat less that way. Maybe I should replace one of her legs with a machine gun...

[pianogirl2422]

THE DAYS OF DOOM ARE UPON US! ZOMBIES WALK THE EARTH WITHOUT SLEEP OR FOOD, FUELED ONLY BY REGULAR INJECTIONS OF REFINED CHEMICALS!

WE'RE ALL DOOMED!!!!

DOOMED I SAY!!!!


translation: It's finals week...wooooo <--can you sense the sarcasm?

[Shadow]

Sometimes you folks worry me.

[pianogirl2422]

Awwww, Shadow worries about us.

May I ask why?

[laVieBoheme]

Hmm...not a bad idea. I bet she'd eat less that way. Maybe I should replace one of her legs with a machine gun...

lol i so want to see Grindhouse!! I am such a tarantino Fan haha but none of my other girl friends will go with me- so the guys are going to have to come with me!!

[xenahorse]

Heh, well I'll be truthful. I haven't seen it yet. But I just couldn't resist the opportunity.

And I found out today that my horsie is perfectly fine! w00t! Now the only problem is that we're both outta shape (because of the wonderful winter....yech), so we kinda need to start working on that harder...WITH finals and the AP exams and such coming up, of course.

Random spurt: if you've seen anime and know at least a little about physics, you HAVE to go to this site: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~duongsaa/more_htm/jk_100animeRules.htm
It mocks the idea of physics in anime...and is incredibly hilarious....

^This is what happens when I have a bunch of homework. I procrastinate...

[pianogirl2422]

Lol, when I have alot of work and am really stressed something big gets done on a forum.

Exhibit A: Topic Lists on this site

Exhibit B: Newly organized arcade at http://tomekent.com/vb/index.php with 199 high scores claimed by me. Would be more, but I decided to give the other guys a break and leave up some of theirs.

Exhibit C: Various memberships and groups on social networks dedicated to http://neverstudy.com


Also, my skills at flash games improve greatly. Go figure....

[Shadow]

When I have loads of work to do I end up wasting time on message boards, just hoping someone will post.

Or I read nytimes.com.

[Shadow]

Well, NeverStudy certainly gets the visually appealing award of the day.

((first time looking at the site.))

[Der Läufer]

Only one week until APUSH is OVER!!!! :D And happy May Day!

[xenahorse]

Gaaa, I really should start studying for my AP exams....later, maybe.

[Shadow]

I should really study for AP US Gov.


But...I may just not.

[pianogirl2422]

SENIORITIS GONE RAMPANT!

Come on guys, even I started studying a few days in advance.


Wait a minute...no...yeah....no, sorry guys, that was hours in advance. :p

[xenahorse]

Well, I have to say that the reason why I haven't started on Gov yet is because I'm just not interested in it- APUSH I was, yes. And for Lit, yes. And Bio, too. But my Gov teacher just doesn't teach very well...and I just haven't got into it...and there IS that whole burnout thing caused by too much work...lol

[What]

lol i so want to see Grindhouse!! I am such a tarantino Fan haha but none of my other girl friends will go with me- so the guys are going to have to come with me!!
THERE WILL BE NO TALK OF GRINDHOUSE UNTIL I HAVE SEEN IT! I HOPE THIS IS UNDERSTOOD! lol :D *serious*

I need to see that movie..badly..*opens wallet* gah...freaking college

[pianogirl2422]

ARGH!!!!! HOW IS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO GET A DECENT AMOUNT OF SLEEP DURING FINALS (THE TIME WHEN EVERYONE'S SLEEP SCHEDULE IS OFF) WHEN THEY'RE DOING CONSTRUCTION OUTSIDE THE WINDOW?!?!?!?!? OR STUDY FOR THAT MATTER!!!!!


I must need coffee or tea or something....

[xenahorse]

Aww. Poor pianogirl-that's definatly a bum deal. Just think, they'll be over soon...

[pianogirl2422]

Finals are over for better or worse. Now for my one and a half week vacation before summer classes.

Oh and What, you just have to wait for someone to upload it to youtube or daily motion then you can see it for free.

[What]

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PG! YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WATCHING A MOVIE LIKE GRINDHOUSE ON A COMPUTER MONITOR!?!?!? No no no! GRINDHOUSE IS A BIG SCREEN MOVIE! IT'S MEANT TO BE ON THE BIG SCREEN! I MEAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! THEY WENT IN AND MANUALLY PUT SCRATCHES AND EVERYTHING GON THE FILM TO GIVE IT THAT EFFECT OF A CLASSIC B-MOVIE!

[pianogirl2422]

Pfft, you're just a movie purist because you're a media major.

I'M A CHEMICAL ENGINEER, I LOOK AT THINGS YOU CAN ONLY SEE BY MICROSCOPES ALL DAY.

Besides, I'm not that into action/horror movies...

[Shadow]

I'll be at college in center city philadelphia, it's never quiet there.

[pianogirl2422]

I'm next to downtown atlanta. After awhile you don't even notice fire truck/ambulence sirens.

[laVieBoheme]

I totally agree! that is part of the genius of this movie!!! it cant be watched on line-that is just a sin. I want to see it so bad!!

Pfft. You movie nerds! On this I agree with pianogirl...that type of movie dosen't really intrest me too much.

Gaa, my legs are KILLING me! I'm getting punished for having a weirdly proportioned body- I can't ride with stirrups for a while! gaa, I think I'm gonna die...

Thanks for the support ^^

And can I join the club with the pain? I just moved out with just my dad helping me and then back in with my dad and my brother. I need a bath...

[xenahorse]

Sure, feel free PG! My legs finally stopped aching-which know mans that I've got to go and ride more. And kill myself again..../sigh Such is my life:rolleyes:

[What]

I DEMAND THAT UNITED 300 BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY!

Instead, watch AND VOTE FOR 300 lbs: The True Spartan History. I helped make it, if we win, we get a trip out to Hollywood and get to be live on the MTV Movie Awards!

http://mtvmovieawards.yahoo.com/spoofs/300poundsTheTrueSpartanHistory/112194;_ylt=AoVTabwK79TmSBwZT.Z8RJ1A7IZ4

[pianogirl2422]

Fine, have it your way What, but you owe me. United 300 has been replaced with the cuteness of a tortoise and a cat.

[xenahorse]

...pianogirl, sometimes it scares me to think of how you manage to find these things...but, man are they hilarious! That hedgehog...too cute....and, yeah- I liked the video, What. It was pretty funny...

[pianogirl2422]

I actually have absolutely no skill in finding videos on youtube, break, or anywhere else. People just send them to me and I pass them on ^^

And I absolutely love that hedgehog. Makes me want to buy one. :rolleyes:

[xenahorse]

yup, gotta agree with you on that, PG. and I loved the underground vid- that was just pure genius.


Pro: Just found out that I'm eligible for a 90%-of-my-tuition-payed scholarship at the place I'm giong to
Con: I have to write a 2,000 word essay when I already have no time and really didn;t want to do any shcool-related work this summer. So much for that idea- looks like I'll be staying up late to write the essay...

[pianogirl2422]

After six days of getting less than six hours a sleep each night (usually around 4), questionable sleep quality, and no naps, I logged in 19 hours of sleep and boy did it feel good...

[Shadow]

I've been getting tons and tons of sleep cause I have nothing to do for school, literally I'm just waiting to graduate.

[pianogirl2422]

That's why there are things like senior picnics, senior skip day, and other silly senior traditions (we had a water balloon fight with the teachers in the student parking lot). They fill up time.

[xenahorse]

Heh- that's one reason why I actually enjoy living the the back of beyond- I'm already done with school! But all of our senior activities were pretty sad- I went to school on skip day 'cause I had a big test in Bio and the picnic was scheduled on the same day as the Bio and Physics AP tests...bleah

[Der Läufer]

Happy Memorial Day! Yay for 5ks where it rains. It makes things so much nicer. :)

[Shadow]

Today was amazing.

I went to lunch with my friend, then we went to the park and played tennis. Just hung out. Walked to a another friend's house, hung out more, played LIFE, listened to music. Went grocery shopping, had a bbq, had a water balloon fight, and finished off the evening chilling on the patio.

[pianogirl2422]

Well, I'm back from..well...complicated things. But yeah, here I am. Got the Harry Potter book, read it, made a thread, answered all the old threads. Been a good weekend so far. Too bad I have to go back to studying tonight. But the final is soon, then I'll be free! FREE I SAY!!!! Well, for two weeks. Now to read the shoutbox....

[xenahorse]

Hehe, I've been busy on that. It's about the only thing that really has been active (no surprise there, lol) on this site. Nice to see ya 'round again- and boy have YOU been busy answering threads!

[pianogirl2422]

I've been gone for what....bah too early to do math. But it's been a few weeks. Can't let things go unanswered.

[xenahorse]

lol. I's just kinda nice to have you back. bye for now, though- gotta get some rest.

[pianogirl2422]

Awww, it's nice to be wanted. Glad you're getting some rest. I'm still catching up on work (ugh). I guess I should eat at some point too...

[pianogirl2422]

Mmmmmm

Caffeine = minimal 5 second effects
sugar = almost no effect
tea = slightly better, but still <20 second effect.

The question is what will be the next product (food, ingrediant, whatever) to keep me awake....

[xenahorse]

Have you tried turning the temperature down? It's easier for me to stay awake when it's cool.

Hehe, for you that'd probably be around fifty degrees. lol

[pianogirl2422]

lol, actually for some reason my body works backwards for most, and when it's cold I get really sleepy.

As it turned out proper meals was it. Who knew....

And now, I've finished my test, and I'm off to sleep until tomorrow afternoon/evening after I finish reading all the threads and dealing with the shoutbox spammer...

[xenahorse]

ooh. sounds like fun- I didn't even realize that you COULD spam in the shoutbox.

Found out something interesting- they put the thermostat for the dorm in my room. And it's above my bed. They're gonna regret that: never put an Alaskan in charge of heat (they're gonna FREEZE during the winter!)

[pianogirl2422]

Hahaha, I sense mutiny in xena's future

[xenahorse]

I think that I like to put myself in scary situations...

I'm part of a riding team at my college, right? So what do we do when we compete? We draw completely random horses, jump on them and immediately ride them in the show! Like a complete idiot I'm fine with this...but now we have a show tomorrow- and I wonder if I will live to see Monday! Gonna be gong to another school and everything. This will be....interesting.

[simplyfantabulis]

Talk about living life on the edge! Lol.

[xenahorse]

Got back from it yesterday. It really was...interesting. No one died, fortunetly. No body form my school even fell off (and there was a lot of that, too), but we did pretty poorly. The judges just didn't notice us, and placed us badly. *sigh* But there's another show in two weeks here, so I'll have a chance to redeem myself then. I didn't do very well this weekend...blah

[xenahorse]

I dirty danced!

My college had a dance thingy and I decided to go and tried to dance. Next thing I new I was dirty dancing with my friends to rap music I didn't know...that was kinda fun, actually. And then I went a little crazy when they put on music that I actually like. I was headbanging to Aerosmith and Kiss so hard that my neck is really sore. But it was fun- I had no clue that it could have been that fun! (I think it helped, though that two of my fiends were slightly drunk).

[pianogirl2422]

Haha, yeah, alcohol does strange things to people. Glad you had fun, trust me, that happens every night, maybe twice a night, at college.

On a side note, I apparently have a test in about 6 hours...I should probably study...

[xenahorse]

Oooh, gotta love it when that happens. I found out about a test I got in a day...so not as bad as you, I guess:D lol

And yeah, I know that that sort of thing goes on all the time-I just don't do it. hehe

[EvilPopTart361]

.........wow a topic about nothing. i didnt know that was ever a possiblity...but i can go with the flow here....

[xenahorse]

This place is great...even though my head hurts.

[EvilPopTart361]

this thread or the site??? dont confuse me...it happens very easily.....

[Der Läufer]

Our school actually won a basketball game... It don't believe it... In other news, Christkindlesmarkt is open in Chicago if anyone wants to try some German food or see a German market. :-)

[xenahorse]

Man, I'd love to go to that, Der. Only problem is that I'm prety far away...lol

It's finally snowing here!

[Der Läufer]

Haha. We missed all the snow here, but we got the ice. I was frozen in the house yesterday.

[xenahorse]

Yeah- the snow was a letdown. After it snowed and stuck all night it rained in the morning.

[pianogirl2422]

Awww, at least that's more than we get here.

Our is more like one day in January you get snow flurries that don't stick, so it's practically just really cold rain. The ice is the doozy though - Atlantans cannot drive, let alone on ice. And when the ice looks like the road....well, they start closing some things. Unless you live in Gwinnett County. Apparently rules that apply for every single surrounding county don't apply for Gwinnett.

[xenahorse]

Yeah, I've decided that Ohioans can not drive on dry roads, let alone wet or icy ones. But I'm going home soon, so I won't have to deal with them :D

[Der Läufer]

Yay for the first real snow of the year! And for passing English finals!

[xenahorse]

Lol, Der- we finally got a decent snowfall here, too! And congrats with the English stuff.
...I leave for home on Monday. We'll see how that goes...Robin in the airports all by herself...scary thought :D

[e-lisabeth]

wait, what the heck am i doing on the threads? i have an APUSH test tomorrow...hmm...bad move on my part...

[Der Läufer]

Haha. Some times you need a break from the books. Half of finals are done! Yes!

[xenahorse]

Luck to you on the rest!

[Der Läufer]

Thanks! No more finals for High School! So happy about that one! Senior exemption rocks! Finally, winter break is here.

[Shadow]

I go away to school for a couple months and look at the mess you kids make.

Hi guyz :D

[Shadow]

Fun Fact: I transferred out of UArts and for the spring semester am going to Hofstra University to major in Music Education instead of Jazz Guitar Performance.

[xenahorse]

Hey, man--long time no see! You liking the college/career change?

[Shadow]

Well I'll let you know once I start at Hofstra in the spring.

Just realized Guitar Performance wasn't my thing. I don't have the personality for it.

[xenahorse]

That's too bad. Dija like the whole college thing, at least? You know, crappy food, dorm rooms and immature 21 year-olds?

[Shadow]

Well UArts is set up that everyone gets an apartment with a bathroom and a kitchen. So I cooked all my own food, did all my own dishes. That wasn't terrible, just...I had cleaning dishes. And the 21 year olds were okay.

I just hate "artists." And I was in art school...

[xenahorse]

Ooh, man. If I was there I think I'd slap you for being so lucky! That's sweet that you got an apartment, were able to do your own cooking and everything. I'd steal that from you in ah heartbeat. The artists...you can keep those. Some that I know well are fine, but most of them are a bit too angsty and melodramatic for me. lol

[mazing_mk]

hey guys wats up? kinda new here and saw this off topic forum so thought id join....so yeah...wat kind of music is everybody into here? soo bored in study hall and have nothing to do!!!

[laVieBoheme]

i love almost all kinds of music except for country and screamo, which i cant stand... Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of my all time favorite bands definately in the top 5 list. Btw its raining where i am and i love it!

[Shadow]

Um well, obviously I like Jazz music the most. I'm listening to it right now. Screamo stuff is probably at the bottom of my likes list too, along with country.

Mostly what I look for in music is artistic integrity. I mean, is it different, or the same old recycled crap over and over and over again? I basically scorn anything that is on MTV or played on pop radio stations.

[Der Läufer]

I can't stand rap, but I like just about everything else. I just "got" a new jazz cd from my sister...a.k.a. I took it and put in on my computer. :-) So far, I love it.

[xenahorse]

I'm fine listening to just about everything aside from rap. Yeah, even screamo every once in a while. I've gotten a little fed up with blues lately, too, since my parents listen to so much of it >.<

My fav music is classic rock, really, with a bit of the more modern stuff thrown in occasionally.

[laVieBoheme]

yeah i forgot about rap, really not a fan, so much so that i forgot about it entirely. I agree wiht xena Classic Rock is amazing as well: i have to say that Guns n Roses, Rolling Stones and some other good company have been rotating on my ipod lately.

[mazing_mk]

i definitely like country the best but i do agree that screamo is the worst and at the bottom of my list

[bebeswe3tz]

i love to listen to anything that's not too slow but not too loud either...country sounds good...classics are good but not like everyday!!

haha..how is everyone doing with all the rainy storms and such lately?

[mazing_mk]

actually this weather isnt that bad because its nice and warm out and i dont like the snow:) it feels more like spring than winter and thats good :D

[xenahorse]

Haha. We sure don't have rain where I'm at...lol, it's actually started to get colder. The winter's been pretty mild so far though--for the past week or so it's only been about zero degrees.

[AdminChris]

We just had a 60 degree/partly cloudy day... I cant complain :)

[Shadow]

It is far too warm for Jan.

It was almost 70 degrees up on Long Island where I was today doing registration for my new school.

[mazing_mk]

and that's bad? :confused: who cares that its too warm for january its such nice weather and even though its raining its ALOT better than snow :D

[laVieBoheme]

its really nice where i am, a little chilly,but then again southern california doesnt have much of a winter...so cold for us is 70.

[bebeswe3tz]

really? wow, my part of cali has been so wet and windy...i can't even hold up my umbrella right, but hey it's getting warmer here so i can't complain. haha

otherwise, i'm glad to hear that everyone has pretty nice weather...it's good to know that you guys are all out of the tornados and bad storms. ^_^

[xenahorse]

I'm going back to school in Ohio in a few days, and am told that it's in the 70s there. Gahhh, that's just not right! That's like summer! I need snow!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shadow]

There is never anything good about Ohio.

I almost went to school in Ohio, then I realized that it was in Ohio.


......I think living in Pennsylvania they breed you to dispise your geographical neighbors.

[Der Läufer]

Hm by me, everything is underwater. Haha that's a funny, Shadow. I can't say that happens in IL. We are just taught to bow to King Daley in Chicago. :)

[bebeswe3tz]

That's so funny, Shadow...

I hope you know how to swim, der laufer...cause if i was there...i'd be the one of the firsts to stay underwater!! (haha..yes i don't know how to swim...sad, i know.)

I'd love to travel around and check out all these places...Cali never gets anymore extreme than hot days and rainy days...it gets pretty boring where I am...anyone up for a road trip???

[Shadow]

"The honorable Richard J. Daley plaza should be up here on the left!"

....I've seen the blues brothers too many times.

And Mayor Daley is basically god there.

[xenahorse]

IL or Chicago would be a sweet place to go to school. But the school I wanted to is in OH, so to OH I go. lol, I could honestly care less--it's warmer there than where I live, anyways!

[mazing_mk]

ha ha thats funny once i had an irish dancing competition in Ohio and i found out that day that my nana died:(

.......i guess that you are right though because that day was not very nice and even though we danced well it was a depressing day for all of us

[Shadow]

See, bad things happen when Ohio is involved.

It's an omen.

[Der Läufer]

Haha. It is an omen. Yep, Daley is a god there. Lol. I love the Blues Brothers. We got to watch that in band two years ago. I love road trips. So much better than flying. Feel free to come to IL, bebeswe3tz, if you want to see extreme weather. This week, we went from mid-70's to low 30's with pouring rain (now flood zones) and now it's snowing out. Gah. What a week.

[Shadow]

just to whine about it.

Everyone should know that restringing a Viola is an annoying and time consuming business. Also I now how $60 less in my bank account :( Darn expensive strings.

[32150DruMMer]

hmmm..doesnt sound fun..

you coulda gotten like an xbox 360 game with that sixty bucks. lol. =P

btw, many many years ago, before i found my first pair of drumsticks, i played violin. hahaha.
(seriously, true story!)

[Shadow]

I had to learn violin for my String Instruments music ed. class last semester.

I'll stick with my viola. But I'm glad I'm an electric guitar major, strings for that only cost about 4 bucks a set.

[xenahorse]

That IS lucky--my brother played the stand-up bass for six years, and strings for that monster weren't cheap. He switched over to the electric bass, which was better I suppose.

Gah. I hate being sick. I can't work, I can't ride, and I feel miserable. I better feel better tomorrow!.

[Shadow]

Yeah being sick generally sucks.

Luckily I don't get sick often.

[Shadow]

Also, xena, you should send me your AIM screen name if you get a chance. Assuming you have it, cause if you don't...well shame on you, you're not doing your duty as a cliche' teenager.

[xenahorse]

Haha...I'm not really doing my cliche duty, then. No, I don't have AIM yet. But I swear, I will get it! And when I do I'll get you my screen name. Lol, pretty pitiful for a college kid to not have AIM...

[Shadow]

Seriously :P Having facebook (there's a reason i don't have my full name in my profile :P) but not aim is like contradictory.

[xenahorse]

Lol, what can I say? I like to be different.

[32150DruMMer]

hahaha, so do i but ive had aim since like 6th grade!!

and im not even exaggerating a little bit..

[Der Läufer]

My AIM isn't working and it ticks me off. Stupid thing! Gah!

[MexicanaChulax3]

hi hi hi
im gabby
and bored
yeahhhh :]

i like cheetos and dr. pepper. if i was stranded on an island with nothing but that i'd be content LOL

[Der Läufer]

Hello Gabby. Give me a good book and I can be stranded anywhere and not care. :)

[Shadow]

I wouldn't need a book on an island.

Just my 43 gig music collection and something to play it with.

[xenahorse]

Ah, but what would you do when the battery dies?

[32150DruMMer]

thats where the something to play with comes in. haha

[Shadow]

Ah, but what would you do when the battery dies?

Let's just assume it never dies.

I mean how could you live forever alone on an island without 60s/70s funk music?

[Shadow]

I didn't think the movie SuperBad was as funny as everyone acts like it was, but my goodness, it has a freakin' sweet soundtrack of funk and soul :D

[xenahorse]

Lol, too true, Shadow. The funk will never die!

[Shadow]

<3 Cowboy Bebop

It is the only anime i will watch. Seriously, haven't watched a single other one, can't stand em.

I also have the OSTs to CB, and a buddy of mine made a Big-Band Transcription of the opening theme.

[xenahorse]

Yeah, the composer, Yoko Kanno, is a genius. Her music is just purely incredible--it can be bluesy, funky, jazzy or a mix of any...gotta love it!

And I love Ed, she's my favorite character.

[xenahorse]

I wonder about my sanity some times. Like today. After running to and from my classes (which are about 15min apart, all in different buildings and even off campus), changing my clothes four times (in and out of riding clothes), and running through freakishly cold wind, I go and decide to jump on a honking HUGE, crazy horse and jump it. Strangely enough I'm not dead. But I'm cold, hungry and very, very tired.

Yeah, it's days like today that I stare into my dinner of Cup Noodles and wonder why exactly I'm doing this to myself...

Oh, and I think I jumped 3' today--never done that before.

[pianogirl2422]

And the college lifestyle starts to sink in. I think every college sophmore has been there at least once. And yes, there are those days when cup noodles + stale crackers (even without crackers) is like the most delicious thing ever. And then you get some more money and like 10 minutes and you make some easy mac and it's life as usual again.

[xenahorse]

Ahhh, good old procrastination. I was really good about this last semester. And now...I have a presentation I need to work on with another person. Tomorrow. And I haven't done any work on it so far....lol

[Shadow]

All my classes are so easy I put off my work till the night before.


I am allowed to sleep through Music Theory cause I told the prof I know everything, but can't skip the course.

[xenahorse]

Lol, that sounds like the Chem class I had last sem.--most worthless thing I took in my entire life.

[Der Läufer]

Ah, stupid snow day today... Sounds weird that I don't care for them, doesn't it? Ah well... Oh, Happy birthday, Xenahorse!

[xenahorse]

Hey, thanks Der!

[Der Läufer]

Happy Rosenmontag, Everyone! (Day of Karnival in Germany...a.k.a. Two days of parties before Lent.)

[32150DruMMer]

happy dia de la constitucion! idk what exactly it is but its a mexican holiday that i saw on my calendar. lol.
oh and happy late birthday xenahorse!

[EvilPopTart361]

man i feel old now that i turned 17 i only have one year left!!! its crazy. i havent been on in forever either so whats up guys????

[xenahorse]

Horse shows and school really don't mix. Especially ones the school puts on, and that I have to help at. And show in.

I am tired, cold, angry at the world, and in desperate need of chocolate. If anyone gets in my way, I think I will rip their throat out with my teeth.

[32150DruMMer]

oh damn..*steps out of way*

are horse shows really that bad?
just out of curiosity

[Shadow]

I think we all know what I think of horses.

....and if you don't know, I'm generally not a big fan.

[xenahorse]

Hehe, lol. I have a love-hate relationship with them. They're actually what I'm trying to do for a career for the rest of my life, so I guss I kinda like them!

Let's just say that this weekend was a little hard on me, and now that I've (sort of) made up the sleep I missed out on and had my chocolate, life is looking up again. Except, of coutse, for the fact that my college decided against canceling classes, even though over 500 other schools did today, major highways were shut down, and the fact that Ohio drivers really don't seem to understand how to drive in snow! Lol.

[megs500]

xenahorse-What school do you go to? I've been looking into colleges with equestrian programs.

[32150DruMMer]

haha thats funny xena. its cool though, my school only gives MLK jr. day off with xmas spring and summer. nothing else. at all.

and with riding, its cool how you want to do that, reminds me of cross country. i had a love hate relationship with that. i loved it, but it physically hurt on a daily basis. lol. =P

oh and shadow, i didnt know. why dont you like horses?

[Shadow]

I'm just not a fan.

Don't really know why. My best friend is obsessed with them and I tell her how I don't like them whenever she gets all "<3 ponies ^_^" on me.

[xenahorse]

Haha, it's also a well-known fact that Shadow's a grouch in general! lol, you have no idea how hard I laughed when I saw that you wrote <3 ponies ^_^!

Drummer, I can understand the whole self-hurting aspect. It happens to me daily, mostly when I get in arguments with thousand-pound animals...

Meg, I go to a place in Ohio called Lake Erie College. If you want more info on it, feel free to PM me.

[Shadow]

So guys...


How y'all doin?

[mazing_mk]

im ok got parent problems...different story for a different time... and guys why do you like younger girls?

[xenahorse]

Hmm...most guys I know like older girls....

Sigh, my spring break has been a real downer. And my ipod died.

[Shadow]

I don't like younger girls, I just like girls that I can have an intelligent conversation with. Girls that spend more time on their homework than they spend on their makeup on a friday night. It also helps if they can tolerate my morbidly blunt sense of humor and dry wit.

Fun Story: I was sitting in a car with a girl once, just ya know, cuddling or whatever you kids call it. And she's all like "what are you thinking about?" I said "Some jazz song." Wasn't really the best answer....we never went out again :D But my level of caring is so close to nil it didn't matter to me.

So girls have to be able to tolerate the fact that I'm a jazz major, and that means that no matter what situation I'm in, I've probably got a tune running through my head, or I'm thinking through chord changes or something.

Oh Xena that sucks. I'm still using an old old old iPod Mini 4gig from when I was in 10th grade. She has served me well. But I really need an upgrade, as I have 42 gigs of music.

I have spring break in two weeks, I really need the time off. I want to practice so much more than I have been at school. I've only been getting in like an hour and a half each day. I'd rather it be closer to 4 hours :(.

[Shadow]

Also Xena, I don't know if I asked before, but I'm in need of your AIM screen name. I hope I haven't asked before.

[xenahorse]

Lol, you have before, actually. But at the time you asked, I didn't have one and I do now! My name is RamenAlaska (gawd, it took forever to figure out a name!). I don't know how often I'll be on it, but feel free to add me.

[Shadow]

Man guys...

I'm really bored. The weather is terrible so I couldn't go out.

And for the record, Watermelon Vodka tastes TERRIBLE. Sprite does a good job of covering up the terribleness though.

[xenahorse]

Watermelon Vodka? Wow, never heard of THAT one before...

[megs500]

In my opinion, most watermelon-flavored things aren't that great in general. Not a huge fan of grape either. I wouldn't have high expectations.

[Shadow]

Watermelon Vodka? Wow, never heard of THAT one before...

Smirnoff and Absolut make all kinds of flavored vokdas. All smirnoff is terrible though, as you are left feeling as if you've just thrown either fire, or motor oil down your throat. Absolut is more expensive, and considerably smoother. But either way, just avoid flavored liquor all together. I'm glad I rarely drink, so I don't need to experience this junk on a regular basis.

[xenahorse]

Haha, I rather happen to like the Peach Vodka that my roommate has...I really don't mind flavored alcohol too much. But it's always mixed with juice or something. Not that I'm a heavy drinker or anything.

[Shadow]

Haha, I rather happen to like the Peach Vodka that my roommate has...I really don't mind flavored alcohol too much. But it's always mixed with juice or something. Not that I'm a heavy drinker or anything.

If this weren't a board oriented towards the high school crowd, I'd make a thread about this. But then we'd just be sending the wrong message :D



Also....2 MORE DAYS TILL I HAVE A WEEK OFF.

[xenahorse]

Heh, I was wondering if the thread was headed in that way...

And, like I said in the shoutbox, you have a late spring break

[Shadow]

I do have a late spring break. All my friends are home this week. But my twin sister has next week off too.

ah all my classes today were cancelled, so I got a solid 10 hours of sleep, and am just gonna work an extra two hours today for some more money (also it's easier to get homework done at work than it is in my dorm!)

[Der Läufer]

Only 37 days of High School left!!!!! I so cannot wait!

[xenahorse]

I keep on forgetting that you're still in High School, Der

[Der Läufer]

Haha, but not for long.

[Shadow]

I like how the majority of the conversing members here are out of high school.

What a sad irony.

[pianogirl2422]

True, but we do have experience so we can better help the rest of the barely conversing members

[Shadow]

Or we could just tell them terrible lies and lead them into the gutter.


Ya know...if you're into that kinda thing.

[pianogirl2422]

Shhhhhhhh.....

[xenahorse]

Oh, yeah, we'd never do ANYTHING like that....

[Shadow]

You know what I think should happen around here.


I think Chris should post.

That's right, we're callin' you out :P

[xenahorse]

Oooh, ooh. DO IT!!!!!!

Sigh, it tells you something about my college lifestyle that I still hang around an AP forum...the stuff never leaves you!

[Shadow]

Oh I just don't have much better to do.



Except for practice...

[xenahorse]

Lol, that's college life for you.

[32150DruMMer]

Hey its cool, I'll go ahead and converse a little here. And at least you guys are pretty cool, unless you really do want to put me in the gutter, I'll have a little more foresight, cuz i read the last page of this thread. So I'll either way im pretty good.

[xenahorse]

well, watch out for Shadow. He's the mean one. I'm the nice, sweet and innocent college girl. I'd never mislead anyone or do anything nasty to you at all!

I really wish you could convey emotion through computers. It would make sarcasm so much more fun (not that it isn't already!).

[Der Läufer]

Haha I love sarcasm. I wish I could major in it. That would be a great B.S. :)

[Shadow]

And this is why we get along just ever so well.


Also, I skipped my Psychology and Music Theory classes this morning...didn't wake up till 11:30, and it was great.

[pianogirl2422]

Well, I got layed off today, and then hired 2 minutes later...

I knew the good driving day was a bad sign.....

[Shadow]

Was this a "you're fired." "You're hired again so we don't have to pay you as much." situation?

[xenahorse]

Ugh, that'd be nasty. Maybe she got hired by another place? Being the ever-hopeful one here, though I'd toss that in.

[Der Läufer]

Boy, gotta love IL weather. Thunderstorms with snow= no track meet today. Haha. And it was 55 yesterday. Snow tomorrow, then rain Sat. and Sun. It's going to be a fun week.. :/

[pianogirl2422]

Was this a "you're fired." "You're hired again so we don't have to pay you as much." situation?

No, I got fired by one company (insufficient funds) and went across the hall to the other car dealership - the main one, mercedes - and got a job filing. Hopefully I'll get the first job back once they get some more money.

[xenahorse]

Good luck!

Gah, got a show this weekend. I need to try and give my horse a bath when it's like thirty outside. Looks like it's a time for the hairdryers and towels.

[Shadow]

Kids and your horses...

I've got a ton of guitar practicing to do this weekend. It's going to be crazy. But tonight I'm going to see Greg Giraldo. He's the headlining act for some Comedy Central college tour. Should be good.

[xenahorse]

Phish, I wish something like that would come to my college...

[Shadow]

Phish is an awesome band...

Also the show was excellent.

And for the record: 14 oz of orange juice does a great job of covering the bad taste of 3 shots of smirnoff.

[xenahorse]

Man, I think I'm too tired and stiff to be typing right now...I hate early mornings

[Shadow]

I went to bed at 4am and got up at noon.

I feel grand.

[xenahorse]

Lucky--yesterday I went to bed at 1 and got up at 4:45. Then I found out later that I didn't actually need to get up quite so early.

REO Speedwagon is amazing. I love St. Elmo's Fire.

[32150DruMMer]

haha wow, i feel laaame. i went to bed at 1am and got up at 11am.
but hey, its cool, because despite how much i sleep im still a gangster.
(a refreshed and alert one at that!) haha =P

[Shadow]

Alright Drummer :P


I was up really late at a party doing multiple legally specious things.

And for the record: I am a biochemical tank. I retain logical coherency at intoxication levels that would have most people unable to walk.

[32150DruMMer]

specious? hmm..legally specious. cant say ive heard that before..
anyway that sounds cool i guess..
define logical coherency though. how far does that go? like you can get wasted but solve advanced calculus B/C and get it right? or you can get wasted and carry on a regular conversation while doing something else at the same time. Im not exactly familiar with all of that because Im straight edge.
-xXx

[Shadow]

EDIT: I found a word to simply describe my state the other evening. I become a hard-core rhetorician when intoxicated.

You think I'm honest now....wait till I'm not sober.

[xenahorse]

Lol, that's what college life is all about, right?

So, I'm finding out right now that one of my professors gave my class a project (due Wen., of course) that should have been given to architectural majors. And we're all EQUINE majors...

[Der Läufer]

Oh, have fun with that. I love work days in school. AKA, go to library and do nothing. :)

[Shadow]

I have to write a research paper on "The Blues"


Cause I really need to do research on that topic.

[Der Läufer]

I turned in my research paper today. I'm done with 'em for the rest of my high school career! :) But good luck with yours, Shadow.

[xenahorse]

Sigh, you all have NO idea how happy I am that that project is over (well, semi-over). A group of is had to design a full-blown equine facility and price everything in it--like amount of concrete, wiring, fire systems, ugh it's too much to think about right now...

And I have a research paper dure here in about a month, but I don't know the topic for it yet. Just something to do with African dance, music or culture. But that paper is in place of a final, so I can't complain too much.

[Shadow]

So during my three hours at work today I wrote a detailed outline for my research paper.




On-Campus jobs just are not hard.

[32150DruMMer]

On-Campus school is just not hard. Unless youre in college I suppose..

[Shadow]

College isn't really hard.

Just very very very very very time consuming.

[xenahorse]

True--although I also find it physically demanding. But that's cause of my major. And sadly enough the physical aspect of it hasn't kept me from the freshman 15...sigh, I love food

[Shadow]

I've realized that since I started college I haven't done much helping people out here at course-notes. I only come here anymore for you guys. Also cause I'm now academically retarded.

[xenahorse]

Heh, I was just thinking the same thing...and I can't help but wonder if going to college actually makes you dumber.

[Shadow]

I think it just makes you more specialized.

[xenahorse]

Hmm...true. But I also think that most people that come to college after busting their butts in High School AP classes either think that the college is a joke or are so burned out that they don't do most of the work, then stress about it.

I am glad that I don't have to take a high-end math class, though. Those never are easy, and wouldn't fail to scare me. I don't agree much with complicated math...

[Shadow]

I get to take a basic math class here for my NY State certification. Then I can take another basic one in PA to get my PA State Teaching Certs.

[xenahorse]

So, my friend right now is incapable of eating popcorn and breathing. She's been coughing all night...and dropping things everywhere....

Hey, I know I gave you my IM, but I never got yours. What is it?

[xenahorse]

So, I put up pictures of my incredible African Dance performance! Feel free to watch and compliment me as much as possible!

[32150DruMMer]

hey i saw like two of those african dance videos. pretty cool stuff, what was it for?

[Shadow]

This was last friday before a concert. I've decided I hate wearing all black. It's just so....blaaah.

http://photos-044.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-sf2p/v240/45/98/21804044/n21804044_31643524_1105.jpg

[xenahorse]

hey i saw like two of those african dance videos. pretty cool stuff, what was it for?

Hehe, it was actully for an honors college class that I had to take. Or teacher was teaching at my college for just this semester, and is from West Ghana. He's been drumming and dancing since he was three...yeah, the class was unlike anything I've ever done before. We spend one day getting a lecture/discussion about Africa and its music/dance/culture and the other in the studio dancing.

That's a nice look you've got going there, Shad. I think the closing of the eyes is particularly becoming. How did the concert go?

[Shadow]

See I think the fact that I somehow end up with my eyes closed every time someone is taking a picture is really annoying :P

Oh and the concert was hilarious. It was a few cheesy songs so the 2nd guitar and I used our solos to basically fuck around and play things that were just as obnoxious as possible.

And it has pretty much become standard at my school for people to call me "Miles Davis."

[xenahorse]

Now, why does that fail to surprise me? You being obnoxious=perfectly normal! Lol

[Shadow]

Somebody needs to fuck with classical music majors now and then.

They start getting egos if you don't.

[xenahorse]

Ah, waaaaay too true. The whole "pure and classical only" music thing starts to wear thin after a while. Not dissing classical music, but that's just how it gets to be. Majors in general get to be a little too egotistical about their fields sometimes...I know I sure do!

[Der Läufer]

Only five days left until FREEDOM! And only a week left of track. :-( But I made NCIC today! Score!

[Shadow]

I've only got 3 days of finals this week, then i go home.

[xenahorse]

First day of work. Yeah--I ran around for eight hours, probably spent half of that washing dishes. Then, deciding that I wasn't too tired, I went to the barn and rode my friend's lazy brat of a horse. I can barely move right now...

[Der Läufer]

SCHOOL'S OUT! No finals! Sweet summer is here! Well, minus the AP English Language on Friday...

[xenahorse]

What is it about large organizations and paperwork? Or rules buried within rules?! Get my hopes up, and then dash them with some obscure rule! And the bloody thing doesn't even apply well to me!! Oh, heaven, please smite all bureaucrats! PLEASE!!!!

[Marine Corps]

so yeah... just noticed this thread and... yeah... so... random... but... cant think of anything...

...
why is it that people text while driving? I mean it even sounds like a stupid idea... but when they crash (as they're bound to do) they wonder "How did I crash!?!" and they get upset about it... its their own fault... so yeah... thats what I think...

[Nymcha421]

some people are just not too smart... yup, that's it

[Shadow]

Nymcha has it basically.

Oh I never let you guys know, I got a job working for my local water company. I drive a truck around and fix fire hydrants. It's pretty hardcore. 40 hours a week, $11/hr, i got a sweet pickup truck and look like a total badass.

I needed a good masculating job.

[xenahorse]

Masculating? Sorry, but there's something about that made-up word that's just...not right.

You know what I really hate? People that stand in front of you and carry on conversations with others while you are trying to take one of the people's order. God, I hate those people....

[Shadow]

I hate when I'm working at a job site and some contractor asks me to me move my truck.


Mostly cause I'm lazy though.

[Der Läufer]

Hmm I'm going to be different...
You know what I love? Being done with high school for ever!
Graduation, even if hot as all get out, wasn't bad.

[xenahorse]

Speaking of heat...we just broke the 70 mark! W00t, summer's here!

[Der Läufer]

Haha. 70..wow. It was 93 today. The heat's here! Now, to get the pool all ready. Bring on summer!

[xenahorse]

93? *Shudders* You can keep that. I'll keep mine.

[Marine Corps]

I rather dislike stupid people, but I love summer!!! YEAH SUMMER!!!
