!@#$%!/sebastian- it's all the percussion players that don't march. front ensemble. it'll actually be kinda fun. i was/am just a bit bitter because i was pretty much set up to be fifth bass with my position as fucking senior. pit kids have a fun time.

yikes. i had a dream once where i set myself on fire and ran around.

priest- we're set now for summer. there's four snares, five basses, and anyone that wants to be in pit is guaranteed a spot in pit. i guess i could ask but that would mean knocking off the poor freshmen who are REALLY EXCITED that the big kids are being nice to them.

Hello People.

Hello Mr Y


Fair enough. I think I like the way that in America (it strikes me that) it is a natural thing for people to be involved in school beyond the compulsory lessons. It would be beneficial to have that kind of mentality here - I wouldn't want anyone to be forced into it, just for it to be seen as normal. The way we're going, even going to school for basic education isn't really compulsory anymore.

Oh yeah, here our lives revolve around school. I think there is a lot of pressure for one to be going to school, or to do better. That is why we have o many after school programs, or learning centers and ll that.

Half of our schools seem to be calling themselves 'specialist sports colleges' for some reason. Or 'acadamies'. I don't understand it at all, but I think it means that the government give them more money.

There was some rivalry between schools, but not really very much. Unfortunately the school I went to was very keen on rugby, which manages the rare achievement of being a very very boring sport. We did have a cricket team which I joined, but I left in protest.

I tried not to be involved much at school. I was bored, really, and I felt like I was surrounded by idiots. Looking back, I realise that I was indeed surrounded by idiots.

By 'school', I mean up until the age of sixteen. After that it's college or university.

I was surrounded by idiots at school too. Now in college, I met several cool people, but also idiots. I can't wait though for University which is next year, I may go to an art school.

Are you planning on a nearby university, or will you set sail for pastures new?

I wanted to go farther away, maybe New York, but I don't think I will have sufficient funds, so I am going nearby, and it is cheaper when it is home-state university.

sebastian- it's a whole new thing in our county for schools to have academies. it's essentially a school within a school.. mine has a finance academy, tech, and ib. the local one has teaching, culinary, and at least 30 more. we have a rivalry with said school.

i've been involved with a fair amount of school stuff. there's a lot more i could be in but honors society and band take up a lot of time with traveling, etc.

Do you go to a lot of field trips? I never went to field trips in High School.

I did quite a few geology field trips in school, and a lot for geography in college.

Hi everyone.

I'm bored. AIM yourself, Jade!

victor- we went around a ton for band. all county, state, solo and ensemble. and football games. long bus rides home..

Cool, I always wanted to go to field trips, but was in the lower classes.

when i was in junior high, for field trips, we always went to this museum that was one of those science but fun places.

OH I always wanted to go to those museums.

i went there when i was like 8 or 9 when it was first opened and it was awesome, but then every year from 7th to 9th grade it was like "guess what? we're going to a field trip" "where?" "to universum (name of the museum)".

we were sick of it.

Funseum.

the tech museum in san jose is seriously the most fun place on earth. everything is interactive and even for bigger kids like me there's a ton to do.

Haha, 'bigger kids'.

[ui will never be too old to play at the tech museum.

Bigger Kids are College Students.

my folks are already developing "my kid's going to college" syndrome.

Haha, mine are just happy that I am and not opted to drop out.

haha. they still don't like that i said i'm never coming back here. i pissed them off.

hello there-- took me a while to catchup with the conversation, from pit politics to going away for college.

i've decided not to kill myself working 16-hour days any longer, so here i am trying to be lazy.

how is everyone?

well, apparently nobody chose to take a break at the exact same moment i'm taking one.

hey

ah, shit! almost!

i guess timing IS everything. :(

--
meh, board's almost dead today. guess i'll go off & watch a movie.

i got this!

maybe buzzo can enlighten us

i'm still here if that helps.

!@#$%!: i wanted to ruffle your feathers the other day at the "last movie you watched thread" as i watched eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.

anyhoo, i got me a new website for my label, it's a place holder though, while i learn how to use dreamweaver.

oh i see, you are the boy who can enjoy invisibility.

dreamweaver, huh? why? gotta learn to code by hand man! :D
so did you like eternal sunshine or not? i thought it was awesome but then again... not everybody likes everything.

Que Onda.

eh synth-- whats up- got your pm-- haven't got a chance to check email yet.

Okay, Oh they are showing about the inquisition on PBS.

were you expecting it?

ohh i loved it! i wrote on the post that even thought it has a lot of flaws, the whole storytelling and execution was so good, those flows didn't matter.

i know some http, that's as far as i ever went.

yeah, i have vip access to invisibility.

I saw the schedule on PBS.org and forgot about it till now.

yeah i spose it has flaws but its a brilliant film nevertheless. charlie kaufman + gondry = pure genius.

and i love kate winslett. hey, funnyman whatsisname didn't do such a bad job either!!

the only one that always creeps me out is that freak elijah wood. what a fucken freak. and not in a good way.
