To what? :? "z0mg u wana cyberzzz??//" "wot u warin????!!!" Someone should try it, for a laugh. Pronouncing the zeros is quite a difficult linguistic feat, you know? It's a lose-lose situation if you're voice is breaky. Then again, I guess you could just really put it in, and try sound like a 40something chain-smoker. Or just tell them you're an ugly chick. Oh, what do I care - having a deep voice rules.

I think it's mainly a cultural thing - getting pissed seems to be the way you spend your time. I'm 17 and have never been drunk, which is an anomoly in my age group. Maybe if marijuana was legalized, people would have less harmful ways of getting wasted? But I know that won't be happening anytime soon.

I have to wonder, though - was this chain worth the likely damages, both physical and legal, to at least one of your friends in a four-on-four altercation?

I rented one the other day. I can't afford one yet until I get a job. It's going pretty well.

Haven't really got the time for or interest in Runescape to keep playing, so that's off the list. I'm playing a few text-based RPGs at the moment, which I have been doing for some time - Popomundo, a music-based one; JenniferGovernment, a political game; and ManagerZone, a soccer managing game. On computer I'm playing Enemy Territory: Quake Wars a lot, and occasionally Warcraft 3. On PS2 I'm playing GTA San Andreas and DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2 from time to time, and just got the new WWE game which I hope to get into soon.

I only just encountered teamspeak recently when I started playing Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. I'm one of the only people without a mic. You do start to think about players differently when you hear their voices, and you can often confirm your suspicions about their maturity level (or lack there of), by their tone of voice and what they say. There are a couple of people whose voices are breaky; Simpsons squeeky-voiced-teen breaky, whom I give grief to, but it's all in good fun, I think. You could just try sounding like a girl; that'll sure change the responses you get.

I was inspired by the White Stripes and the Streets to enjoy silence.

You really know artistic integrity has come along way when two rappers are feuding about who will sell more albums, especially in this day and age.

Finished school, picking up my grades in the process Matured a lot, emotionally and mentally Met some great new people whom I see myself being friends with for a long time Went to something like nine concerts which is a record for me An enjoyable (for the most part) relationship Got back into some of my old interests - wrestling, soccer Learnt some self-discipline - began exercising, keeping a journal, eating better (slightly) Got into some new, awesome music Began seriously getting into films Developed a really good relationship with my brother Decided what I want to do with my life Sort of started a band Wrote some good things Became more self-confident/realistic/developed a better outlook on life On the downside ... A few really good friendships deteriorated Lost my old man's old man (though he had a damn good life - 93 years) Bitter end to the aforementioned relationship That's probably about it. I suppose it's been a fairly rockin' year.

AN END TO THIS CAPITALIST DICTATORSHIP SUPPRESSING THE PROLETARIAT! And I guess some CDs or something.

They are over-hyped, admittedly, but I still think they're pretty good. Heart-Shaped Box, Serve the Servants, and more or less all of In Utero is rockin'.

A tiny bit too twee-poppy for my liking, but I can still appreciate it. The instrumentation was pretty tight and it wasn't a poorly written song by any means. Was it your first gig, or one of them? Because you guys looked a bit awkward on stage, though it was pretty gnarly when you started rocking out and headbanging. During a fair portion of the first half, you weren't really playing much, and were just standing around - I'd suggest adding a few licks every now and then, or maybe playing one chord or one note to add some variety during that first part. Aside from that though, nice work!

The instrumentation sounded cool for a few seconds, but after that it just sounded like the same generic, lame and talentless hardcore band that I can't avoid seeing whenever I go to a local gig.

:roll: Boy does that emoticon really put me in my place! Come on, man - you've gotta expect it. I mean ... it's Limp Bizkit.
