yah that irritates me. everyone jokes about drummers being idiots... and a lot of time with certain famous drummers, it is often true xD; but they have the ability to hold a beat for a long long time as well as multi-tasking in different timings. it's like patting your head and rubbing your tummy except your hands are doing half a dozen different things as well as your foot moving... heck, holding a constant beat is hard enough... and guitars are even harder, especially lead electric guitars @.@ a couple of years ago i tried taking it up... went an bought an electric guitar for my birthday o.o; left handed one (yup, i'm a leftie like hendrix xD) and started trying to learn. but i simply can't do it. my hands are too small and delicate to work over it properly... i can't hold some of the chords like you're s'posed to cos my fingers don't reach that far, so i have to improvise... and i can't practise for very long because it hurts my fingers so bad @.@; i played for about an hour or two and i had thick indentations in my finger tips for a whole week >->; so i've pretty much given up trying now... if i can't even do guitar hero what chance do i have with a real one? XD i would really love to be able to play both of those though. i would be able to do so much more with my life .-.

*nodnods* o.o; well good luck. just make sure you pick a good replacement... problem with buying older things is a lot of times they are cons or have been well-used and don't have much life left in them >>; but i'm sure you could find something decent :3

yeeeesss... but i'm not in constant contact with youuuu am i? >>; it would take forever to get anything done... i mean seriously we'd take like, a week to discuss anything aaand then even longer to actually check things ._.; i guess we could chat on msn or whatever but i dunno how often you are online... o.o; though that would make it easy for sending me screenies or anything o-O;

y'know you guys -could- actually go and try looking for these things yourselves... otherwise you have to wait til he finds the stuff and next posts xD and i'm too lazy to find it...

...you realise HP make a lot of mobo's right? x3; not to mention the fact that if it's not a "new" laptop they probably won't sell it anymore >->;; aaaah the rise of technology. oh, how you con us so XD i get the feeling your apparently simple quest is going to turn into an epic three-part movie where you eventually have to trek the streets and deserts and go to a nevada warehouse and manually pick one up xD then you'll get it all done and discover that's not the problem and beat yourself up for weeks saying he should have just bought a new laptop xD

note i actually explained why i asked about the C class, which was mainly a rhetorical question... last time i checked the C class never experienced earth contact... i mean there was ST: IV but if i remember right the enterprise never actually came into the atmosphere o.O only the bird of prey with the cloaking shield which they fitted the whale onto o-o; i mean the C class was only in a couple of the movies... at no point did it really go into old earth's atmosphere o-o; the A class -DID- also, "trekkie" but you're probably a "trekker" cos you're a new age fan... really i am too but i prefer the term of trekkie... ... ... ...er wait hang on... o_O scratch all that geeky trek talk, i think i was thinking of the enterprise B... xD; the C class never even existed in any of the movies! XDDDD picard ran into it in the D class in "yesterday's enterprise" XDDDD so i guess it's possible that the C class went back in time. we've only seen it the once and briefly at that o.o; also when drawing anime of something already invented, it's normally good taste to keep it accurate...

that much i know. you have to completely disassemble the thing >->; even small upgrades that you know are possible for your laptop are surprisingly irritating >->;;; just make sure you make him get the RIGHT mobo... because otherwise you're both gonna end up with a busted laptop which has been taken apart and a shiny new laptop mobo which none of you can use because it doesn't fit any existing models you have xD ARG yah go figure ;

ha xD don't think i'm being a WTC-conspiracy nut just because i'm a brit. that has nothing to do with it. i love any and all conspiracies... it's just stuff like that which happens in america generally gets spread around the world very quickly, because let's face it, anything that happens to the americans HAS to be important. i mean WTC goes down and kills over 2000 people, the whole world mourns. then mourns every year on that day. there are hollywood movies about it showing the heroism of the victims involved. many many movies. then you have say, a tsunami in burma that kills 500,000... makes the top news story for a couple of days then is dropped down to the second and inside pages every day for a month or so before the world forgets completely... i mean there are probably still people dying over there, governmental and charity organizations are probably still trying to make most of the country habitable again. but because they aren't a major media outlet, we don't know about it so it doesn't affect us. this generally happens all the time. you look around the world and SOMEWHERE there is a small country being invaded... or a town being massacred horribly (i'm guessing somewhere in africa... x3; ) but does the media give a darn? nope. look at the attention that hurricane katrina got o.o; that was on the news for weeks... so my point is there are many many conspiracies... but the american ones just tend to spring up and seem... i dunno... more jucier or something o.O you feel more of an urge to know the truth... and the more suspicious it looks, the more you HAVE to know. i mean there were other ones... like the sarin gas subway attacks in japan... with the Ohm cult behind it xD and their little crazy pimped up headguy who looked a little like jesus and made animated movies to brainwash his trainees... (these vids instantly became an internet classic because of little nooblets who didn't know the background story and were just like "lol jesus is taking LSD and is sending armies out to kill the foreigners!") so yah. WTC... JFC... that americano coin (which actually WAS made but got cancelled when the conspiracy was disrupted. now the coins are limited edition sales. you can actually buy them from the american bank site xD) aaaan you've got all the other ones... RFK, marilyn monroe, area 51, jimmy hoffer, FEMA... so so sooooo many juicy conspiracies out there. i just want to find the truth before other people do so i can tell my grandkids "hey i knew that 10 years before they proved it! i even told all my friends about it. look here are the msn log files from 50 years ago ^-^" ... which sadly might happen because i've pretty much been logging every msn convo i get in since early '04 when we got a new computer downstairs xD since i got -my- computer i copied all the log files over just for easy access >>; yaaaaah. in this case i pretty much overlook all privacy issues for other reasons such as say, legal issues. that and because my memory is just so freaking awful... i can't remember what happened a couple of hours ago let alone years. far easier just to open up the main log folder and put in a unique keyword then open the specific file for the person i'm looking for and word search again til i find that section xD if it wasn't for log files i honestly wouldn't have a clue who half of my buddy list are... especially if someone changes their screenname. most people have such random e-mail addys it's hard to work out who is who unless you happen to remember it... aaaanyway. most of the british conspiracies have already been solved :\ too many smart civvies and too many slack officials giving things away o.o; i mean talking near history about the only two major conspiracies i can think of are diana and the psychotropic drug testing on british soldiers was which video taped xD ... and that was half an american conspiracy. and it's also been solved (at least, the british part anyway. we still don't know who through that american guy out the window...) oooh yes and there was the maddy case. that might not be a conspiracy though :\ but yah america just has SO MANYYYY... it's like they go out of their way to create really obvious "oh hang on, something wasn't right about that..." type moments and it takes people decades to work it out c.c lord... JFK might take a CENTURY before it's fully, 100% proven with a definate certain answer one way or the other... and chances are that'll only be through a time machine or past viewing machine (like in the deja vu movie. awesome idea and a lot more likely to happen then an actual time machine...)

firstly, hiroshima and nagasaki. secondly truman's "other" option was a land invasion of japan. that WOULD have resulted in thousands of casualties for both sides. the japanese had plenty of gardening tools and generally basic weapons are easy to fashion... a lot of japanese would have died but they would have taken quite a few americans with them. the best option would have been to just remain how they were and wait. the japanese had nothing left, no way to fight back nor carry on their existance as was. they HAD to surrender. they were in the process of doing so... the only reason they had for using the nukes would be to show off to the russians to keep them under control after the war ended. think about it. otherwise what would stop the soviets from going ahead and conquering europe, maybe even america after the war? at least the nukes would make the soviets think twice before doing anything too over the top. at least until they got their own ones... what makes more sense, dropping a huge bomb and killing many many thousands of people, just under 100,000 directly and the number increasing greatly from the lasting effects of radiation... or simply blockading the japanese mainland with ships and waiting until they simply give up themselves? xD i mean sure it might take more time, money and manpower to do the second option but it would involve a lot less people dying... and it would mean the japanese could have a more honourable surrender instead of being forced into a total surrender and being completely humiliated o.O; i mean with an honourable surrender they probably would have agreed to any terms so long as they got some things like keeping the emperor in power. with the total surrender he was just a puppet government and the people KNEW it o.o; starting edit because DD posted whilst i was typing >_> you may not realise it but a lot was gained for a lot of people by the WTC being destroyed... and it would really help if you READ WHAT I TYPED. the bombs would be put ON THE PLANE, by THE GOVERNMENT. not terrorists. therefore that wouldn't be hard to do. if they couldn't get their own people in working on the baggage loading, they could just smuggle in lots of explosives under private government packaging. no-one would dare look, let alone even question it... that was part of one of my theories. there simply isn't enough fuel in the planes to cause explosions that big. and the towers were designed to take a hit from a large plane so why on earth would it cause that much damage? o.O; once again, i never said the americans invaded. i said they would have never had to have invaded in this hypthetical situation. if you read the lines before and after, my worded intention was that they would have had no need to bother invading. and what good is bomb fodder if you have nothing to attack? if the US navy had NOT dropped the nukes, nor had it used it's backup plan to invade, instead just sitting back and waiting for them... there is nothing the japanese could have done! they had no way to get to the planes or ships unless they tried the fishing boat thing and that wouldn't have worked after the first time (assuming they got lucky then)

i love the way you resort to childish methods when someone says something that you don't wanna hear :3 it makes you look like such a mature man ^-^

hey! D:< i need credit for the internet comedy too xD and look up "start wearing purple" on youtube. i swear it is something that borat would listen to oO; but i love it to death xD
-
oO; heck i could have told you that xD; why didn't you just open the thing up and look for anything knocked out of place? though i guess it would be possible for some of the chips or whatever to take damage without it being noticable. either way you're pretty boned. gotta get a new mobo x3;

once again, how do you KNOW these things like it wasn't staged? there is no way you can say for sure. and when i was talking about bombs i meant ON THE PLANES. cos they made a much bigger explosion then a normal plane should... i can't be bothered to look that crap up, i've seen it in over half a dozen documentories (and no, none of them were michael moore, all on the discovery channel or one of the other documentory channels.) and various sources online. do i look like you slave? go look yourself if you're so quick to throw me off. and i hadn't been to america beforehand, but i went to florida a year or two after i believe. however my aunt has been to america multiple times and we have a couple of family members over there... so i've been told just how the security has evolved. sure it wasn't amazing security but they still had all the things like metal detectors and x-ray scanners and so on... but y'know you could still gut someone with a plastic spork from the airline food... aaand i know all about bushido. so don't try to crack me with that line. but if you actually study into the history, there was nothing they could do. their navy had been completely wiped out months before and the island was COMPLETELY blockaded. they could not get anything in or out, and more then 2/3 of their army was trapped in china and taken prisoner by the russians. all the firebombing had simply wiped everything out. all their industry was destroyed, they had no money or food. they had no weapons. they gave the last of their infantry weapons to the defenders on the last pacific islands. the people on the japanese mainland had literally NOTHING. the americans didn't have to invade. they just had to wait until the japanese surrendered, agreed to their terms simply so they could keep the people alive. before the bombs were dropped, in the day before, there was a coup of a military general trying to take over the government because the emperor was GOING TO SURRENDER. he had his surrender speech ready. the messenger was already sent. the coup was put down and the something happened to the messenger. the bomb was dropped and a week or so later, the backup copy of the speech made it out. my point there being (if you bothered to read, mr tl;dr) was that the japanese honestly had no chance at that point in the war and even with the bushido code, they were going to give up. they wouldn't have even had to wait a month for the japanese to surrender. even if the general had managed to take command, he had NOTHING to command into battle. the only way america would have suffered casualties would be if they had invaded the mainland with infantry. even that wouldn't have been necessary until after they had surrendered o-O;; i mean gosh darn it look it all up. the facts are all over the place. just don't rely on what you see on tv and video games without finding validated resources >->; i know the japanese like to think they are invincible but they simply had nothing to fight with or any means to actually get to their opponents. i guess they could have taken small fishing boats and armed them with bombs and tried to float into the ships... but do you really think that would have worked in the middle of war with the ships more then enough away from the shore to work out the fishing boats had bad intentions... i mean come on, tell me. what could have japan honestly done with no vehicles or infantry weapons? so long as the americans didn't invade the land they just had to sit back. if things were taking too long they could just keep firebombing o.O; either way it wouldn't have taken long for the japanese to surrender...

baw ;-; slash <3 but yah half the tracks on that cd are with buckethead o.o so i'll let it slip. cos buckethead is just epic. i mean he looks like a drunk college prep but he plays... daaaaayum... problem is too many things i have to buy now and in the near future :\ guess i could ask someone to get it for me for my birthday or christmas... ._.;

i saw it released... i didn't bother... didn't slash like, leave god knows how many years ago? i honestly don't even know who is still in the band now because they had so many chops and changes... anyway. i'm a littleeee skeptical about this albulm... mainly due to the fact of the british advertising... they were saying things like "the best cd ever!" and "the best albulm in 10 years" which seemed more then a little arrogant to me... oh, let's not forget the "most anticipated albulm ever!" one xD which i pretty much don't believe at all. until the adverts for it were on the tv i didn't even know they were making a new cd... i thought the band had just split and given up, or just had axl and random people going on tours or something like that o.O; but if it's anything like their older songs i might have to get it. eagerly awaiting your review! ^o^ (note; just gonna check the wiki page on them the second i post this, so don't worry about informing me on the group's status x3; i'd already have known xD)

patriotic amerikun - not listening ^-^ but yah i realise it was a joke o.o but if you paid any kind of attention you'd notice that the SC thing was only like the first few lines... as a jokey response. yah, seriously for a second... this is a FORUM. it's not a realtime group IM chat. therefore you're expected to write out full sentences and generally type a lot of things responding to every point because otherwise it's going to take half a week or longer to get everything sorted out. if you are in an RP you don't just say "and the big dragon was sitting there" then leave it. because some prep will come along and say "what colour dragon?" later that day. then the next day you respond "red." then someone else is like "okay. what species?" see where i'm going with this? IT SAVES TIME. and if you haven't got time to read a long response, what are you doing wasting time on a forum in the first place? god... everyone forgets those basic rules on forums and wastes everybodies' time for months on end. far better to type a lot and actually PROGRESS the conversation >->

seriously DD if you're just writing it off as nothing but a terrorist attack off the bat i pity you. chances are it most likely WAS a terrorist attack. but you have to keep and open mind like that. paranoia is a good thing, seriously xD like the whole FEMA conspiracy (which still stands and grew power with the bush administration. basically if a state of emergency is declared FEMA can send in their own military forces which are recruited from foreign countries, and can basically arrest anyone who is not white. aaand basically anyone who has a gun. they are also allowed to claim any properties, assets, and other such things. if you look it up there are HUGE prisons with nowhere near the population limit around the country, also what appear from satellite views to be concentration camps spread around the country. i dunno about you, but this scares me. if you don't believe me, you can check FEMA's own law list, it's listed somewhere on their government site and it openly admits all these things but in that government technical language so it sounds innocent) i mean it's possible the government staged everything but i seriously doubt they would go that far... even for all the many reasons that have been assumed for the staging. my personal theory is that they knew (which they did, various government agencies had people over there collecting info so they knew something was gonna happen. apparently the people who needed to know never found out in time dispite having been warned months in advance...) but let them do it. and probably put bigger explosives onto the planes. either that or the terrorists were hiding some MAJOR heat somewhere in cargo o.O; because quite frankly i've seen plane explosions before in documentories and they were never that big or did that much damage... i honestly don't know if the american government or whatever shady group was behind it would go so far to actually plant a bomb or explosives on there - if it were discovered early it would really cause trouble. but letting the terrorists actually do it... that is plausable. because they COULD have acted, in many different ways at many different times. but they didn't. so if it's all innocent, a lot of people REALLY screwed up bigtime. i mean security may have been slack at airports but COME ON :\ all i'm saying is it's more then a little suspicious... too many people ignoring things and letting things slip. but what scares me is that it is possible for some terrifying mass conspiracy to have happened. i mean hitler managed to do the final solution for most of the war without anyone but some secret photographic relays knowing about the camps... i mean later on in the war churchill did know about them but simply couldn't do anything easily... though he could have done something... those were huge conspiracies and proven true. is the american government so utterly pure and good that it's not capable of doing something evil? admitedly it would be a conspiracy second only to the final solution, but if they got enough people working on it, it is certainly possible. and that scares the bejebus out of me. because i do NOT want to turn on the tv 30 years from now and discover that the conspiracy has been revealed on the news... and before i get all the patriots blamming me for hating america, just remember that EVERY COUNTRY in the whole of the world's history has at one point done something bad. and don't deny it. america dropped the bombs on japan. that was unneeded. if you study into it, all the firebombing had completely wiped out everything japan had at the end of WW2. the US navy had japan surrounded. all they had to do would be wait for a month or two and japan would have surrendered. but they dropped nukes. and once again, before the americans rant to me, look it up. it was completely unnecessary always look at history before you assume something :\ (sorry to rant about mainly american faults, but in this current topic section it is all american ranting. if you want, i'll happily give conspiracies revealed on other countries xD)

yah you gotta sympathize xD unless they are really winding you up >-> incase case you utterly dominate them with your tech knowledge XD

hmm... for bands i like, of say a whole cd or more... 1. ultravox 2. iron maiden 3. jimi hendrix (not technically a band but BLEH TO YOU ALL D:< he had to have people doing other instruments xD) 4. rolling stones 5. queen 6. beatles 7. judas priest 8. aerosmith 9. beach boys (XD) 10. bon jovi those generally switch repeatedly depending whatever i'm in the mood for o.o; for 1 - 10 different songs per artist i like; 1. MC Hammer (can't touch this) 2. Haddaway (what is love) 3. kate perry (i kissed a girl) 4. gunther (ding ding dong song xD) 5. jace everett (bad things) 6. gogol bordello (start wearing purple) 7. samwell (what what (in the butt)) 8. ABBA (just about any of their songs o.O) 9. the jackass party boy song (XDDDD) 10. bruce springsteen (born in the USA) ...yah i know, what can i say XD i put hammer and haddaway on there and thought "soddit i might as well go down the comedy router" cos i actually do listen to all those songs >>;; i could choose some serious songs but i have over 3 days worth of playlist... aaaand about about 30+ songs that i'm currently into listening to a lot o.o; (including those listed there XD) yaaah... generally 90% of my music are "guilty pleasures" XD

hmm... well nothing at all right now. sometime next year i'm gonna be doing two courses, hopefully sooner rather then later. i've already received the cheque to pay for the courses (thank you charity agencies who help people learn and get jobs ^-^) but yah, two courses... one is game design, the other is computer animation or something like that. both lowest level courses. probably gonna become a game tester and work my way up from there. ideally i'd like to be in the game design stage as a job. coming up with an idea for a game and all the details with it... that i LOVE doing. everything else... eh... although i'm a technical wizz when it comes to computers, 3D graphic programs... a lot of work and stuff. i struggle making objects... and animating them would be even worse >-> and skins... heck no @.@; generally all i can do is come up with ideas and draw pixel art x3; i could do concept art too... maybe o.O
