Grades - kinda like tests, they're not compulsory, obviously, but alot of teachers encourage doing them. It's just a way of saying how good you are, basically. A guy at my school hadn't played for ages, his whole mouthpiece was full of mould/fungus, it was disgusting :shock: I think he had to buy a new one altogether

going by the most played songs on my iTunes... 1. Duke Special 2. Laura Marling 3. Chopin's Nocturne No. 8, absolutely beautiful 4. Amy MacDonald 5. Benjamin Koppel 6. Muse 7. Turin Brakes 8. Mark Ronson 9. Chili Peppers 10. Feist

David Tennant, really cute in a kinda nerdy way :) Audrey Hepburn was great in Breakfast At Tiffanys, I've only seen the end half though. Helena Bonham Carter, I love her hair <3:

[hide=] [/hide] Wow, you really should... since I started the longest I've not played for is probz a few weeks, and even after that it felt amazing to play again... find something you like and it'll come back so easily! About tenors and altos, the fingerings' the same, isn't it? So I guess if you can play one, the other should be pretty easy, the only problem would actually be owning/renting/using two different saxes... What grade did you get to? (if you do grades.) i started in september 06, im taking 5 this year, hopefully, and jazz 2. some of my friends think they're pointless though :shock:

I have that :( it's horrible. probably more mildly than you do though Astrophobia- Fear of stars or celestial space. I definitely have that, hate looking at pictures of planets or whatever, really creeps me out :s And I very often dream I'm jumping down from a short distance, say a table or a garden fence, and I keep falling but never hit the ground, I find that really scary but I dunno if there's a name for it.

Sorry to be OT, but... really? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not Irish, but the whole Catholics/Protestans/civil war thing? I'm not sure. It wasn't really a civil for per se. Basically when Ireland received independance in 1922 the agreement was Britain kept 6 counties in the north for their settlers, forming the country "Northern Ireland". When Northern Ireland formed Catholics were treated as second rate citizens, denied the right to vote or own property. This went on till about the 70's when the PIRA formed (Provisional Irish Republican Army). Then the whole way up to about the 90's there was [bleep]-for-tat killings by Catholic and Protestant paramilitaries. So not really a civil war, just a couple of different terrorist organisations killing each other / civilians. And the Irish aren't that proud, I'm proud to be Irish but I'm not proud of the way my country is right now. Is that a contradiction? :lol: Ah, ok, Thanks :)

Sorry to be OT, but... really? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not Irish, but the whole Catholics/Protestans/civil war thing? I'm not sure. And America is alot richer than China (I think) at least more Chinese people live in poverty than Americans, but China supplies the world with so much. Food, clothes, toys, electronics as well I think, it's got alot to offer and therefore in a pretty strong position.

I'll play, if noone minds... I doubt I'll know any though

rihanna. what a sket

Which? Alto? That seems the most common. Anyone ever play a soprano? Those are rather interesting. yep alto. I have played baritone before, that was alot of fun lol :P also soon i'm trying a sopranino, the 12 inch one, I dunno if it's the same as soprana. that will certainly be interesting :) i do classic mainly but im part of a jazz band, so a good mix :) do you play sax?

saxamophoooooooone :D

I can't stand this whole 'sex' genre. Basically, talentless [bleep] writes stupid song about all the crap that's happened to her, wriggles around nearly naked and makes millions of dollars. It's ridiculous. Anyway for all you rap-haters... I used to be one of you, lol. But then my best friend started writing raps, really, seriously good ones, the lyrics were so deep and really touched my heart. You can say rap doesn't involve any talent or effort, but that's not always true, you just need to find the right kind.

Up and coming, I'd say Laura Marling, she has some really amazing and powerful songs and she's only about 16. Duke Special are really fun :) Amy MacDonald is probably my favourite singer at the moment, her songs are kinda rock but you could say unique for a female artist.

There's an awful lot of lefties here... is there any way of working out some kind of tipit average? that might be interesting... I know it's not exact and the circles are all different sizes but...

Mmkay got pic now... Just a couple more squares Libertarian under Gandhi. Yay :)

he has a winged helmet. I never figured the boots to be practical. But a winged helmet would just fly off, leaving you on the ground, or enable you to hang yourself... Winged boots you could like walk in the air, just like normal but higher up :)

Yep, sleep paralysis was the most terrifying experience of my life, I've only had it once though. I was just drifting off and like you starting imagining things in my head, like I was watching a film. It was like a dream, the events and plot were totally bizarre, but I was conscious of being awake. This weird thing happens in the dream and I just completely froze, I couldn't move at all and I could hear my heart beating really, really hard. I know it might sound ridiculous but I was pretty young at the time and I actually thought I was dying, trying to yell for help but I had no control over my body. It stopped after about a minute and I tried to stay awake for the whole night, it was so weird... Anyone else had it?

Yeah I was once at this castle-y place in Wales and it was about eleven/midnight. We'd just had a bonfire for my dad's birthday and most people had gone to bed, but me and my cousin were still down there. We were just hanging around really, lying on the grass, and then we see at the top of this tower like a black cloak billowing outwards. She pointed it out to me and it stayed for about 10 seconds. There definitely wasn't anyone up there as everyone was in bed and noone's allowed up there anyway cos it's pretty unstable, and the gate up to it's locked. Anyway we were really scared, but we didn't see it again. There's always background noises in my house, might be our dodgy waterpipes or something but I dunno, creaks and everything. It's never really scared me though, I guess cos I've grown up with it.

I'd like to do a job that's fulfilling and inspiring and relates to other people. I know this sounds really pretentious but I wouldn't actually want a high paying job, just one that I really enjoy. I'd live quite close to the centre of the city in a ramshackle house with a big garden, a big family and a retriever. Ideally I'd have lots of hobbies, my actual job would be journalism or a columnist for a national newspaper... although that's a really competitve field and I'd have to work my socks off for it.

Wings types consist of: "angel" type, large feathered bird wings, each wing is probably as tall as you are. Can fold. Demon,bat,pterodactyl: leathery wings thin and thus, show your veins/aterries. Most likely similarly sized as angel wings, perhaps smaller. Also can fold Fairy, dragonfly: extremely thin, Unlikely to fold at all. 2-4 wings, typically smaller then the angel/demon wings Mercury boots I've always thought that would be the coolest thing ever... Edit - just tried to find a pic and saw it's actually a make of boot... I actually meant like leather ankle boots with tiny wings on either side, like Mercury as in the messenger But if not, then white angel wings 8-)

Classic music on the sax (afraid I'm at a bit of a loss with jazz), I used to do alot of (good? maybe not) writing, throwing a discus. Otherwise nothing major, tons and tons of things I love but wouldn't say I'm talented at. Ouch! why would you do that to yourself! Actually I know someone who did really well in their mocks and rubbish in the actual exam, so they dislocated their shoulder and passed out from the pain, therefore earning them the A they got first time round. :P

I remember taking this before and getting a completely different answer... but to be honest I think that was because I didn't understand any of the questions. #-o Can't be bothered to upload it but I got exactly in the middle of the Libertarian/Left square :) Btw, can someone explain the difference between authoritarian and libertian? I've got a rough idea from the names but I'm not sure.

Religion can give people hope and courage, but is it really worth it after all the violence, wars and death it's caused? To name but a few, and to the guy who said something about scientists fighting among themselves too; the Crusades in the Middle Ages, the English Civil War, Al Qaeda, the Huguenots in France in the 17th century, the Spanish Inquisition, the Thirty Years War, not to mention innumerable smaller acts of religious intolerance. No, I'm not trying to say science has never caused fights, but it's ridiculous to say that science has caused more than religion. If anyone can name a scientific clash-of-belief that's killed hundreds of thousands of people in one go, please do.

Umm, it depends. I'd probably give them my pass for email, but i wouldnt be happy someone else using my MSN... I dunno though it would depend how much I trust them. As for forums, tipit, etc... no way, never... I just wouldn't trust them, whoever they were.

1. Who inspires You. My dad, he has so much common sense, he's incredibly well-liked by everyone who knows him and I don't think I'm being biased. He pretty much never argues with anyone, because he knows how to sort things out peacefully and ensure everyone gets the best out of it. There's so many other people... including fairly obvious people like Gandhi, Nelson Mandhela, Martin Luther King... all these people were heroes because they stood up for those with no voices, and changed the world for the better, because of what they believed in. I have incredible respect for the Suffragettes, some of their methods were violent but they changed womens' worlds. They stood up for basic, democratic human rights which had been neglected for a long time, like the woman's right to education and the ability to vote, and in the face of so many adverseries they won their fight. 2 Do u have a role model and if so who? No, I have no rolemodels, I aspire to be inspired by the people who inspire me but in the end I hope I'll never try to be someone I'm not.
