I'm happy, in a way I didn't expect. I decided to go to the conservatory after all. After years of saying I didn't want to. Music just makes me happy, it feeds me, it's part of me, I love making it, listening to it, making it with other people.
I'm falling in love again, after months of having nothingness inside of me. There was just nothing going on, my emotional life was just shut down after taking a beating, I guess, but now I'm back. If you want to, can read this and that to get up to date.
I'm employed, live with my mother, pay rent, cope with money, hang out with friends, living my life. So there.
I guess you could say I'm good.
How are you?

Cool.

Good, good. :) What RPG's?

I'm now picturing felltir being busy dodging RPGs as he goes about his work, which would be pretty awesome.

I saw someone out on a pair of springy leg stilt thingys yesterday, and I thought of felltir.

Rocket Propelled Grenades have a pretty nasty blast radius.

That's some mighty fine dodgin' felltir.

Thank you, and thank you!

They aren't being fired, somebody's just throwing them at him.

Only if they're aiming at his feet. If they're flying parallel to the ground then the explosions probably won't be anywhere near him.

Sure, but if the explosion is at his feet he can just rocketjump to safety.

I just walked 4000 feet, more or less in a straight line, in Boston without ever being outside.

Yo, hi. My cousin, who has cerebral palsy and can't walk, will (hopefully) be getting life-changing SDR surgery in St. Louis, MO to enable him to walk!

But my mum's side of the family are pretty brassic at the mo', and need £45,000 ($72,000), and THUSLY are looking for donations. TEMPTED? I thought so! They've made a campaign page, which is so Web 1.0 it hurts - http://www.jacksdream.com - and also a sweeeet YouTube video. How many give-us-money-so-we-can-save-a-child's-life-well-sort-of can you think of that incorporates Guns n' Roses music?

NONE. That's how many.

So give over your money, chumps!

I mean... kind and caring human beings with more than a shrivelled sliver of a soul

Also, Jack's a very sweet kid and despite his spasticity, he beat me at Jenga last time we played. And I have the steadiest hand in the Lower East Side, which incidentally makes me the luckiest guy.

by **roband** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:16 pm UTC

Hey Felstaff, have you guys considered setting up a JustGiving page?
I don't know if they charge any amount for it (I can't see that they would, but I don't know) - but it's a much simpler process for a lot of people to donate by card than doing a bank transfer.

That website raised a smile and if I wasn't currently raising money for a charitable cause (linked in my sig) close to my own heart, I'd be donating much more than I'm going to.
I hope the money gets raised - keep us informed

edit: totally just noticed the paypal link on the 'donate' page - must have missed it in with the colourful background the first time around

by **pseudoidiot** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:29 pm UTC

Thanks to a couple rounds of actual Jenga and then a game of Dread a couple weekends ago, I discovered I'm actually pretty good at Jenga.

Therefore, if ever we meet again in meatspace, I will challenge you to a round of Jenga!

by **roband** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 3:32 pm UTC

Did someone say Jenga?

An entire day without any Screeching? I'm feeling a little faint, although I am also to blame.

by **roband** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 1:32 pm UTC

Nearly 48 hours!

It had to happen some time.

Sure hope this laptop keyboard is waterproof, because I just spilled a bunch of water on it.

by **The EGE** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 3:37 pm UTC

Even emceng's keyboard is washed.

Ok....debate about dubstep Korn versus non-dubstep Korn. GO!

by **Panonadin** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 9:08 pm UTC

I would rate them both as equal.

by **UniqueScreenname** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 9:18 pm UTC

I would agree. I like that they are continuing to evolve because it seemed like they had gotten into a rut for the last couple albums.

by **pseudoidiot** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 9:24 pm UTC

It's the first time I've been able to listen to anything dubstep without wanting to stab my eardrums.

by **UniqueScreenname** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 9:33 pm UTC

Yes, metalstep is much better than normal dubstep.

So...I know this is probably the wrong place to ask...but I just got a pair of skullcandy ink'd headphones with an inline mic with one button...how the fuck do I actually turn said mic on? No matter what settings I play with (have a dell PC) I cannot get it to register even a squeak.

Go to the sound control pannel, voice, then voice recording > volume. Select the input your mic is on. If need be, enable advanced controls, then use them and tick audio boost.
