    Discovered skateboarding

    OK well everyone skates. I used to not. But my nephew comes here after school every day and leaves his boards here. Well, decided to try balancing on one yesterday, then realized that keeping balance as well as moving is a bit of a challenge. I was supposed to be doing homework but I preferred...

    in-between dream world

    The only reason I'm writing this right now is because my keyboard is sitting right next to my couch upon which I sleep. I kinda feel like I've made a thread about this somewhere back in one of my three hundred and something posts. Just because it feels familiar. I'm always getting deja vu on...

    Band and/or drum corps ?

    Have any people here participated in their high school band or any such organization? I know one of the highlights of my high school days was participating in the school's musical organization. I know that such organizations are very good for being social as well as developing musical skill. I...

It talks about the advantages of taking your time and giving yourself plenty of breaks, stresses the importance of being well rested, and talks against the establishment of traditional scheduling. If anyone has anything to say on that, it'd be appreciated. I hear that...

    Studio Audiences

    Sometimes they hire "laughers" to work in a studio audience, laughing hardest and at the top of their lungs for effect, and to rile audience members sitting next to them ... who probably don't wanna laugh but do so anyway just because these other strangers are hysterical. I wonder if there are...

    A Google Earth Experience

    So I went browsing around on Google Earth the way I like to sometimes. This time I was just focusing on my own town's area. I was thinking about lakes at this particular moment, and seeing what bodies of water are near that I didn't previously know about. Apparently there's a pretty huge lake...

    suspicious me

    Just got back from a late night walk. I like to go out walking at the latest hours of the night/morning. Usually has to do with relieving a headache. On this particular evening I crossed paths with a stranger. Our paths went in an X shape with me crossing his path. Then he called me. "Hey...

    Background music

    Does anyone else besides me hear that "Lars and the Real Girl" background music playing in their head? (that clarinet solo) This happens mostly while going about the day in a cloistered manner.

    Laughing problem

    This problem might sound kinda odd, wondering if anyone else here has had to deal with this. But throughout many years of school (and even into college!) I've had this problem of laughing in class when nobody has said anything funny. (well sometimes they did) Usually this happens when class has...
