My computer is now utterly useless. For over a month, I haven't been able to use it to get online, open up Paint or Microsoft Word, watch videos, or save to a floppy disk. Now it won't even turn on! I'm on my last strand of patience with the stupid thing... (And in case anyone's wondering, I've managed to get on here still through the school's computer or my mom's computer only. It sucks! -_-)

Not to complain even more, but...in band, I've got a solo. I hate solos! I always get too nervous and screw them up horribly. Gah!! I don't know what to do. I don't want to play the darn solo at all...

What is a solo? Ur random fact is from ur binder riminder isn it? It is from ours.

Yeah, I got that random fact from my assignment notebook. A solo (in band) is when I have to play a part of a song by myself and be heard over everyone else. I'm not looking forward to it!

death note is awesome but i finished that show months ago. Season 1 is sooo much better than Season 2 IMO but ill let u decide. Anyways i saw the japanese version months ago and i recently started watchin the english version on adult swim on cartoon network...the dubs are ok.

death note is pretty cool
Posted Nov 7, 2007 10:40 am PT
I hate PCs...and dont worry you will do well on the solo
Posted Nov 7, 2007 11:15 am PT
Technology will one day take over the world and people in the future will think the Terminator movies were documentaries ...I'm not musically figted in the slightest so I can't sympathize, sry. But I hate being singled out to speak and stuff too.

wow that sucks about your computer...
ahh solos...should only be done by really good people lol I can't even play most of the solo notes
btw, what instrument do you play?
Posted Nov 7, 2007 1:21 pm PT
Thank you a lot for the mention, MangaFreak ! And I am really glad that you love Death Note ! Also, I am sorry that you must do a solo. I myself will be doing it as well in December, for a Christmas thing... well... at least one verse. No don't get me wrong, I like singing, and I seem to have a fine voice. However I can get quite nervous sometimes . I hope that you can do it well !
Posted Nov 7, 2007 1:29 pm PT
I'm sure you'll do great on your solo!! Best of luck to you
Posted Nov 7, 2007 3:43 pm PT
Sorry about your computer. My old one used to do that, so I got a new one. Good luck.

finalfan789: The Japanese is usually always better. I've only seen Death Note as a dub, though.

entity0: I agree. I've only seen a few episodes so far, but I really like it!

TA127: Thanks. Yeah, PCs sure suck sometimes. XP

firefox59: Yeah, making speeches is hard, too. Don't worry, I'll get you out of jail! I'll use my parent's money to bribe you out! They're rich, so they can afford it! *more sirens*

Frye44: I'll somehow find a way to watch it. I really wanna see it!!

JessWH: I play the baritone. It's sorta like a mini tuba. Yeah, I can't play most of the notes in my solo, either. They're way too high!

talonmalon333: Thanks, I wish you the best of luck with your solo, too! Yeah, I really like Death Note a lot. And to think--I probably never would have watched it had you not suggested it.

shadowcloud86: Thank you...I need to encouragement.

Lokar: Ah, so you can relate to my stupid computer problems! How's your DSL working, by the way? Ain't it great?
Posted Nov 8, 2007 8:29 am PT
Aww thanks !
Posted Nov 8, 2007 1:04 pm PT
that sucks about the computer, hope it gets fixed
Posted Nov 8, 2007 2:57 pm PT
GAH, i hate solos what instrument do you play?
Posted Nov 8, 2007 5:02 pm PT
talonmalon333: You're welcome. Really, though, I should be thanking you.

xcube2402: Thanks. I doubt it'll get fixed any time soon, though...

stfolife: I play the baritone/euphonium. (It sorta has two names.) Do you play an instrument?
Posted Nov 9, 2007 8:16 am PT
if u want a could give u a place to DL it in japanese....unless u wanna wait suspensefully for each episode Which actually might be better...
Posted Nov 9, 2007 9:31 am PT
I'll wait for each ep so you don't have to go through the trouble. Thanks for offering, though. ^_^

I do plan on eventually watching a few Japanese episodes so I can compare the voices and stuff...
Posted Nov 9, 2007 4:14 pm PT
^^ yeah i'm in a band called krossing khaosss i play the guitar and i sing for the band aswell as scream on some occassionss but yeah like i said i hate solosss=/
Posted Nov 9, 2007 6:16 pm PT
and that is a baritone voiced bass instrument correct?
Posted Nov 9, 2007 6:18 pm PT
Cool! So you guys to heavy metal stuff? I wish I could play something as neat as the guitar.

And yeah, the baritone is more of a tenor/bass instrument.
Posted Nov 9, 2007 6:21 pm PT
yea i love the japanese voices though. Especially Ryuk's
Posted Nov 10, 2007 9:06 am PT

finalfan789: I'll check it out sometime.

stfolife: That's cool! What kind of music do you play on the piano?

whoever2100: So you can share my pain in having crappy technology. I hope your computer doesn't overheat!
Posted Nov 12, 2007 8:15 am PT
wow..solos, I have a weird nerve problem that doesn't let my high F come out but most of the flute players in my band can't play it either. So I had to perform in a Veteran's day parade, and my section leader was going to play the Piccolo. She's really good at it. But go fig, she had to do a swimming thing and so I got stuck with the piccolo part. so on thursday I started playing the Piccolo for the first time ever. I performed on Sunday and it was pretty good by the last time but it was scary being the only Piccolo especially since it was my first time. I would joke and say "not bad for 4 days"
Posted Nov 13, 2007 5:54 pm PT
I like classical but i also play the key board which to me is an entire differnt instrument but yeah with the key board I like an industrial sound like what my band plays
Posted Nov 13, 2007 7:35 pm PT
Botangirl: Oh, cool! You can play the piccolo now! That's one of my favorite instruments. Good job!

stfolife: I like bands that use an industrial sound, too. That's really awesome that you can play like that. Hey, have you heard of the band Styx? They're known for having good keyboard parts in their songs.

When is your solo ?

Mine is in December. As a singer, I am a tenner .
Posted Nov 16, 2007 12:27 pm PT
Yeah, mine's in December, too. About the middle of the month, I think. I play a low brass/tenor instrument, so that's the tone of my solo.

If I were a singer, I'd probably be second soprano.
Posted Nov 19, 2007 9:07 am PT
Gosh, I hate my poor spelling talent .
Yes, I am a tenor (that's the right spelling I think), and I am quite proud of it .
Posted Nov 25, 2007 3:28 pm PT
Yeah, that's the right spelling for it now.

It's okay, I have a lot of friends who can't spell worth crap. You're good at it compared to them.

So, what song are you singing for the solo?
Posted Nov 26, 2007 8:31 am PT
Well, it is actually for Christmas. We are singing Christmas songs . What about you?
Posted Nov 26, 2007 12:18 pm PT
It's a song called "Winter Rhapsody." Obviously, it's for Christmas, too. ^_^
