Well I just came back from it. I think I did well, the director seemed to be pleased and he is looking forward to having me in band. I'm definitely doing marching band and pep band, and having a discussion with him after the audition was encouraging. I kind of stumbled on the first prepared piece in some places, but I roared through the second one. And the sight reading was fun. And I didn't have to do any scales. I guess he just didn't think about those?

Oh yeah, my sister in law is now in labor and being taken to the hospital; I may have a new nephew today...

Uncle Jesse!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am reminded of the Dukes of Hazzard. xD

Congrats on the possible nephew(or possibly neice) ^.^

Uncle Jesse!!!!!

Calm down! I've already been an uncle for 5 years, with a nephew and a niece.

My second nephew was indeed born yesterday. His name's Aden. I can't find the time to visit the hospital with school going on full force and all, but they're going to come and visit in the near future.

You were an uncle at 13! WOW!!!

Congratulations on the birth of your nephew, Aden.

Thank you Horatio. He seems to be doing fine. Unfortunately for my brother + sister-in-law, he likes to stay awake through the wee hours of the night.

I've been kicked out of the forum for like, two days. I tried logging myself out though earlier today, and that seems to help things.

Thanks for the good news. As for your brother and sister-in-law, I see your new nephew is training his parents from day one. LOL

Please tell me what you see, what happens, so I can better explain to HampsterKing. This has happened to me as well.

Every once in awhile HD doesn't work for me either. It's like the page doesn't exist.

If when this happens, you can tell me the time it occurred and exactly what you saw, perhaps this will help HampsterKing.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It has occurred again since my last post. I first noticed that I couldn't get on at around 8:50 PM (EST as you can guess, Horatio) yesterday, Feb. 18th. My attempts to get on during the morning failed, until just now (5:50 PM on the 19th) when I tried and succeeded in loading the page. Of course, it might have been working before that time and I wasn't at the computer to try and get in.

When the problem happens, I get the standard "server not found" message for that browser. This applies to Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, and Safari, all of which I have tried when the hd boards were down. I haven't spotted any numbers or any other kind of information; the message will just say the usual things, "check the URL for misspellings" and the like.

Hope that helps a little.

I couldn't get on at all last night. These are the times I tried (all Eastern, PM) 5:48, 6:07, 6:24, 6:30, 7:23, 8:13, 10:48, and then I think at 11-something, but I didn't write that down...

The servers have been particularly nice to me lately. I don't remember getting any error messages. Of course I was at school for 5 hours (due to a 90 min. delay, yeah!)

I get my braces off in two weeks! ^_^ It turned out we scheduled our morning appointment on a CAPT day, wherein I don't have to be there until 10:20 (since I have completed those my sophomore year) so that works out well.

I also don't have to go in until 11:20 on my birthday. Also due to CAPT testing. Thank you Connecticut Academic Performance Tests!

Have I ever mentioned my new SAT scores? I took it a second time and I got:

710 - Math (went up 30 points)

610 - Reading (same as last time :wacko: )

680 - Writing (shot up 100 points, somehow...)

That brings my score up to an even 2,000 out of 2400 possible.

I looked at the first page of this thread and I can't believe I used the word "multinational" :rolleyes: Maybe that's why my writing score was 580 last time :blush:

Awesome! I don't remember my individual scores, but my total I think was 1940. Let me see if I can look it up... Okay, it was 630 for math, 640 for reading, and 670 for writing. The first time I took the SATs it was the old version, and I got 620 on both math and reading.

We do. The topic is in the admin forum. But, HampsterKing has said that the problem should be fixed in 48 to 72 hours.

I just wanna know where the pink is coming from. >.<

That's just the lighting in the room. I should move into a room with white light before taking a picture.

N OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!

I really liked the pink!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry...pink is not exactly a color I'm very fond of.

*kicks Cheesemaster*

Wow. Horatio just kick'd Cheesey. *laughs hysterically at this* :lol:

Some cheese getting kicked by a hamster. XD

Let's face it, pink doesn't quite go with a masculine male wolf. And the tank top looks cool btw.

Thanks.

...in the Northeast? Not really. It was a trend for a year or so in my first highschool for guys to wear a pink shirt (especially polo shirts), but after that? Nothing except a few permenant victims of the trend that stuck to it for one reason or another.

Exactly my thoughts. Thanks for expressing them.

Today, I went down to the orthodontist, twice (which is 2 hours round trip). The first trip, I got my braces off! ^_^ The second trip I got these annoying clear containers and it really hurts. I have to wear it all day every day until September, and then it is only each night. I'm going to take it off when I eat though, because I think trying to eat with these things is pushing it too much (and my fangs might pierce the retainers when I bite, muahaha...)

Jesse · March 13, 2007

Oh yeah, I'm part of the National Society of High School Scholars. Which is neat, although I'm not fully acquainted with what it actually is yet.

Have you ever seen hamsters with retainers? LOL

Glad to know you got your braces off. You will learn to eat with your retainer in and the fangs won't present a problem. LOL

Sometimes I worry about my dad. Tonight he mentioned that he reads my rants online. That in itself isn't troubling, since whatever I say is open for the world to see. The problem is that those are the only things he reads. He doesn't read the happy stuff, the stuff wherein I have achieved something...the times that I feel good. What does he think I am? A youth whose sole desire is to rebel against his parents? I hope not. I hope that he doesn't just read entries that go "I hate being forced to do this!" :mellow:

I am sorry that your father feels he needs to read your online words. Perhaps he really needs to see your feelings where you say "I hate being forced to do this!". Although, I am not sure it would sink in, your father needs to realize you are not a little boy, but a really cool, intelligent, guy with feelings. I will say, that in all the time I have known you, you have never written anything bad, never been out of line, never done anything you should be ashamed of. On the contrary, you have been one step above. Your posts are always well written, full of thought and exhibiting your personality and a terrific sense of humor.

It is my birthday wish for you, that your father allow you to be the phenomenal person you are and quit looking into your personal business. I am truly sorry Jesse.

:blush: Thanks, often times I feel paranoid about whether I've said the right things, and your post helps clarify that. My dad acknowledges that I'm not a little boy anymore, but he thinks I act like one sometimes. I think I act like one sometimes. And maybe it's good to keep that little boy inside, otherwise I'm going to look back and be like, "where'd my childhood go?" And where did it go? Most of it was wasted in a bunch of dead-ends that my dad made for me. A bunch of different diving boards wherein he pushed me off instead of encouraging me to make the jump. And when you get pushed off of a diving board, soaking wet, betrayed, depressed...you never, ever want to get back on again. My dad doesn't make that connection though. He seems to think that force and encouragement are the same thing. Maybe things look different when you are a parent. I don't know. All I know is that while my dad thinks I have the "brains of a rock" due to wasted opportunities, he is the cause that those opportunities were wasted...he had to go in and make things his way.

So long, I have to go shovel now.

He does acknowledge what I say to him, but he breezes past the "personal feelings" and sacrifices them for practicality and opportunities and stuff like that. I'm not sure if that trade is better or worse.

I would never sacrifice personal feelings for practicality and opportunities, etc. It really does not matter exactly how much money you have, if you are not happy. If you love what you are doing, have inner peace, then your life will be full. Who cares if your house is 1,500 square feet or 15,000 square feet? If you are happy, then you are living your life the way you want. If you sacrifice your personal feelings and are forever chasing the almighty dollar, then nothing will ultimately please you. How sad. I say, follow your heart.

I suppose money has something to do with it, but he's mostly concerned about me expressing my talents. He said I'm "burrowing in on myself," which I'm most certainly not, as you can see in this topic. I guess that's okay to be concerned about, but I don't understand why. I play in the concert band, I ask questions in class even if they turn out to be stupid, I show you guys some of my work, I have my composed music shared on iTunes for my family to listen to as long as I have it open...and I don't even know what direction to go in yet. I know things will be different in college and there I will be more expressive, especially out from under my parents' shadow.

Agreed. And also remember that you can't do everything at once. Sometimes some talents need to take a back seat so you can focus on other ones. If you try to focus on too many things at the same time, you're going to wear yourself out, and then no one's happy. And yes, once you're in college, it will be easier to be more expressive, as long as you don't worry too much over what other people think.

Good points from both of you, and I didn't think about it this way. Maybe that's why I've felt like a failure at times - I was expected to develop all of my talents at the same time. Now when I think about that it makes my head hurt. That means I have to make a decision...bah, I shouldn't stress about it too much. Right now, I'll focus on the clarinet, and building my TR level. And school of course. Speaking of which I should find an article to discuss in French class...oh yeah, I'll try not to worry about what other peoples think...all of us are weird when it comes down to it. *flees to do homework*

Agreed. And also remember that you can't do everything at once. Sometimes some talents need to take a back seat so you can focus on other ones. If you try to focus on too many things at the same time, you're going to wear yourself out, and then no one's happy. And yes, once you're in college, it will be easier to be more expressive, as long as you don't worry too much over what other people think. Some people will think you're strange, yes, but there will be some people that think you're awesome too.

Jesusfreak has an excellent point. As you are planning on concert band, if you decide you don't like marching band, then quit. Pick the areas you like and then pursue them.

Good points from both of you, and I didn't think about it this way. Maybe that's why I've felt like a failure at times - I was expected to develop all of my talents at the same time. Now when I think about that it makes my head hurt. That means I have to make a decision...bah, I shouldn't stress about it too much. Right now, I'll focus on the clarinet, and building my TR level. And school of course. Speaking of which I should find an article to discuss in French class...oh yeah, I'll try not to worry about what other peoples think...all of us are weird when it comes down to it. *flees to do homework*

Good luck on your homework. I think you should discuss French cheeses. Wonderful subject! Just finished having some Mimolette. Tasty!

As for decisions, do not try to think too far ahead. Just make the decisions that are needed for today. French class, homework, etc. The decisions at college can wait.

You should definitely not neglect your schoolwork. As for your talents, there's a ratio. You can be really good at one and not so good at the others, equally good at all of them (which comes out somewhere in the medium range), or better than most people at some, and worse than most people at others. It's like assigning character points in a Sims game (or strength points in some other games that I don't know as well). For me, I'm better than most people at some things and worse than most at others. You just need to pick a ratio that works for you.

That's a nice, mathematical way to look at it... Thank you.

I've been building an abandoned botony lab in my game level series and this is the first time I've actually done something with more natural areas, like a small forest...so I want to show y'all a picture.

Note that those metal textures shouldn't be on that center tree's underside :blush: There's also another half of the place that is sitting behind Lara, but it has been hardly worked on at all.

Yeah, they are, and I kind of expected that when building with such a block-based editor. Although other editors have somehow managed to make their square trees more realistic, but they are far ahead of me in that respect.

I feel like I got too much from it ... :lol: I can't narrow down career possibilities at all. I wish there was a way that I could combine all of the things I like doing, into one job. I'm sure college will help me with this though, especially since I am dedicating myself to math.

When you get to college, you will sort things out. What I wanted you to get from this was, "do what YOU love". Not your parents or anyone else. As you see, Steve Jobs did not follow what his parents wanted, but found his own niche. You will do that to. There is no need to narrow down things now. This will happen gradually as you find what makes you happy. When you think about the marching band, this is something you do not want to do, so please focus more on pleasing yourself.

Most people (myself included) change their majors at least once. So while it's good to pick a major early, don't be afraid to change it if you don't like it, because you'll only be torturing yourself. I started out in physics, and realized (of all the stupid things) that I didn't like the upper level math that was involved. So now I'm a bio major.

Well, I might actually like college marching band, I just don't know. If it makes me unhappy I'll stop it.

Yes, it's inevitable...especially when there are other disillusioned people involved, in this case it was the dean who hired her, and followed her presentation and was all like, "what enthusiasm! imagine having her as a teacher!" While my parents were moaning in their seats. :lol:

So I'm going to register to vote soon. Unfortunately, when you register to vote, they also check if you've signed up for the selective service. This is a creepy thing for me because I have to basically put myself at risk of being easily drafted. My parents say they have several trump cards ready if it comes to that, and I have one of my own, but it's still a strange thing to think about. With people in congress deciding that the draft should be brought back, (nothing about immunity in college is being considered) and Bush getting closer and closer to invading Iran, it is a very possible reality. If women think they are being discriminated against, they need to think again, because they're not the ones that have to jump up and down and say "Here I am! Draft me and drag me off to Iraq/Iran for 2 years regardless of the kind of life I've made for myself!" Although yes, I do realise that women will have to be included in the draft bill for it to pass...hmph, my brother says that if a draft bill passes, the resulting riots will make the ones during Vietnam look like a spring picnic.

Just wanted to type that out. I'll try not to worry about it too much.

Although yes, I do realise that women will have to be included in the draft bill for it to pass...hmph, my brother says that if a draft bill passes, the resulting riots will make the ones during Vietnam look like a spring picnic.

Just wanted to type that out. I'll try not to worry about it too much.

I do not believe the draft will pass and the only thing I can say is to worry about that when the time comes. In addition, if you think the government cannot find you if you don't sign up to vote... rest assured, they will find you. So, sign up to vote and please do not worry about the draft, just concentrate on who you want to vote for.

So I'm going to register to vote soon. Unfortunately, when you register to vote, they also check if you've signed up for the selective service. This is a creepy thing for me because I have to basically put myself at risk of being easily drafted. My parents say they have several trump cards ready if it comes to that, and I have one of my own, but it's still a strange thing to think about. With people in congress deciding that the draft should be brought back, (nothing about immunity in college is being considered) and Bush getting closer and closer to invading Iran, it is a very possible reality. If women think they are being discriminated against, they need to think again, because they're not the ones that have to jump up and down and say "Here I am! Draft me and drag me off to Iraq/Iran for 2 years regardless of the kind of life I've made for myself!"

Unless things with Iran look really bad and there's solid evidence that they're a threat to us, I doubt they'll have a draft, because people are already upse enough about Iraq. They'll probably make the exception for college kids as usual. If all else fails, move to Canada. :rolleyes: Either way, congrats on registering to vote!
