School Fire

This morning, at exactly 11:37 AM, we were in AP Reading, we were working in our notebooks when the fire alarm went off. At first, we all thought it was a drill. After about 5-10 minutes, I said to my friend, "I don't think this is a drill anymore." He didn't either, Another 10 minutes later, still, we were outside. The teachers let us sit near the fence because it was going to take a while. One by one my class saw fire trucks, ambulances, the sherrif, and the Emergency One Fire Truck came. By this time, everyone was asking, "What the fuck's going on?" For a long time, all we had was to sit and wonder if summer vacation would begin early, if you know what I mean. At noon, we found out what had really happened. It was a small fire that started in the air purifiers on the second floor, where the Juniors and Seniors were. About 10 minutes later, we heard over the PA system for the Seniors to come into the cafetorium, then the Juniors into the gym, and then the Freschmens (Spelling?) and Sophomores (Me) would report to their current classes. That was the end of the phenomenon. The second floor was unaccessable until 12:40, and the room where the fire started is still out of order. It may have been a small fire, but it was the first fire I had ever experienced in real life.

There's no need to talk about Ducks here. There are about a bazillion threads about it already in the General forum.

Yo I might learn guitar this summer. My mom is super cool, she has two guitars an acoustic and a classical guitar both from the seventies when she used em both in her record! So she might teach me guitar this summer.

And I've got a video of my lizard eating worms on youtube. I don't know why I did it...

School Firez!

Haha one time in my school some girl was smoking in the courtyard and an ember fell onto her pants. When she came inside someone pointed out that her pants were on fire so someone rushed over to pull the fire drill. Everyone had to evacuate the school and we stayed outside for a good hour. When we went back in we learned that a teacher dumped his water on her pants, putting the fire out, before the fire alarm was even pulled...
I love when stuff like this happens at school. Makes the day more exciting. A few weeks ago we got to go home because of a bomb threat.

Lol we had a 'Dangerouse person' alarm a littlw while ago. It turns out that a guy who was doing some renovations to the primary school lost his nail gun, and he though a kid stole it and was running around shooting people with it. I miussed out on all of my Art lesson >:( my favorite class.

FUCK the worst thing imaginable just happened to me!! I just ate and Anchovy! My pizza would have Anchovies!! They taste like filth! I had to skull the last of my Bundy Dry Lime to get rid of the taste, and it was FLAT! FLAT I TELL YOU. Wow that’s another bottle down, I gotta slow up.

Any way on to a question which is like the most important thing I am likely to ever ask in my entire life!

What is a good Indie rock band? I like the Kaiser Chiefs, Killers(Not to indie though), Franz Ferdinand, Interpol (Again not to indie), Expatriate. Bands like them if anyone can tell any good bands like them they will get a cookie.

Also the Cat Empire don't really know what saughta genre(Cuban, ska I guess) they are but I will make out with your belly button if someone tells me a band like them!

I don't really know any Indie bands, but this cookie..... what flavor is it?

we still using this system?

Yes
Yes.

School Alarms
The alarm in my school... well, the school I was in last week... the alarm goes off every other week, people just set it off when they have a lesson/life they don't like. It went off 3 times in one day once, and several people got suspended.
Also once someone brought in a live grenade as part of a History show-and-tell thing, they evacuated every building but the one it was actually in, which made no sense to me.
Oh, and if the fire alarm goes off in the middle of an exam we have to stay where we are, even if it's a real fire. Passing exams > surviving.

Duals

Are you talking to Kes?

Dualies

Yay, my wallpaper is famous ;). Nice setup, although a better resolution on the 32" would look better :D.

Also, what program did you use for your sig?
I have dualies 24/7, only cost £30 to set up :D.

Indie Bands

Look up Maximo Park. I got hooked, they sound similar to Franz Ferdinand a bit.

Also look up Gogol Bordello, which is Gypsy Punk.

Hmmm... *grabs iPod*

How about Tokyo Police Club and Big D and the Kids Table (Ska, but awesome nonetheless)

Yeah thats saughta true, although there is a definite 'Indie' sound... But is getting more and more popular sp the big labels are garbbing them though the name has kinda stuck.

Flashtub

So i was over at FlashTub and coulnd't help but notice the flash's there were acutlyl really good, animaiton wise.. the styyle is one that is used a bit voer here at ng by a few people and i just though.. why arn't these on ng?

ah well..

main point here is that the style used to... well.. great, and it's always refreshing to see such a style being used in a world of sprites, tweens and lame fbf.

Verka Serduchka

i hate them for making their tune Dancing Lasha Tumbai so addictive.

Shaving

Do you lot shave? What type of beard do you have, etc etc?

I did have a goatee side burns and a bit of a burger-tash but just shaved it all off. Now I am smooth and it's not as bad as I thought it'd be, I thought i'd look about 13.

Shaving

Yeah I shave every week or two, I can grow a pretty good french mistache(Realy weak line crooked and broken). I don't really have facial hair... Stupid genetics I wont be getting sidies until I'm about 19, 20 or so... Even my father now can't really grow a good beard.

I sit with an electric razor at my desk and while i wait for videos to load or whatever i shave so i kinda shave continually all day. I dont need to, mind. I just do it for something to do while i wait. I used to grow no facial hair at all really. Since I employed the constant shaving technique, it grows faster but is still basically just fuzz, not actual hair.

request for mods: please ban anyone that makes a lame fuzz joke

Recently I've been seeing if I could actually grow any kind of beard so I've been trimming it but not shaving it. I'll see what people think when I'm back in Sheffield, tomorrow.

Dualies
Sharp eyes, Luis!

the threads getting a little old now.. new topics noW!

Maple Shorts
I stumbled upon this oddity on the Net recently; thought I'd share it with you. Apparently, it was a kid's show made in Canada that showcased different Flash shorts made by Canadian animators. Sure, the demographic is for kids watching Saturday morming cartoons, but some of the shorts look nice. Link

If only this thing still existed. What do you guys think?

Indie

Of course Indie's alive, you just have to look hard(er) to find what you want. There's a ton of great bands out there, but I really consider "Indie" anything that sounds good that's still really underground, but it's mostly in the electronica-rock-(sometimes rap) range. I just came across a really good group the other day - Four Tet (light electronica, I suggest checking them out).

Mashing it all under PopRock is just leaving too much out, it's all so different which is what makes it Indie- it's sort of the class to classify all the unnoticed stuff under one class...if that makes any sense. Anyways, music is so hard to put a label on even in the Major Label's it's not even funny - but I love finding new bands and stuff that no one's ever heard of before, that's what Indie is to me.
