I am here now, and I believe I have limited internet access, so don't expect me on too much over the week. This may be the only day I stay somewhere with internet. Don't miss me too much ^^

Happy holidays, all.

Happy Holidays to you too Pyre! Sneak on line and say hi when you can.
(goes and looks for Pyre on gothornot to vote another 10...)

Pyre 12-24-2006 04:55 PM

Haha, thanks. Maybe I will get back online later tonight. I don't want to spend all of my time on my uncle's computer, even though this may be the last time I get a chance to be on one during my stay.

HumanePain 12-24-2006 06:06 PM

I just ordered a week's supply of egg nog. Yum. Now where did I put the nutmeg?

Does anyone know how to post pics in your comments on myspace? I can't figure it out :(

Host the image somewhere, such as Photobucket, and use <img src="URL">

Actually, either Photobucket or ImageShack should both show a link for image hosting, and therefore would mean you need only copy/paste the code (which should look like the one above).

Paper_Wings 12-24-2006 09:46 PM

Thank you very much! I'll try it now!

I think gnet uses xml. It would be img tags. Really, you can just go to advance and it has img, but that stopped working because of viruses, so you'd link using url.

Ya. It has been a long time since posting. I don't have any excuses this time, except, being busy. My Internet is fine, but can't use it at work. Not that I don't have plenty of time to check in at home. Today, decided to stay home. There was a bruch at my Aunt's house in Provo, but I caught a cold or flu or something. Not feeling much in the mood. It has been relaxing. My back still hurts and I'm glad the gym is closed. No temptation to go in tonight, but should go workout a bit. Guess that's it for chatting now.

If you had read more thoroughly you would have seen that Paper Wings was asking how to insert images into comments on MySpace, not onto Gnet.

P.S. This may be the last time I talk to you guys until I return home after New Years. So, if anyone is near the Port Saint Lucie area in Florida, come be my friend ^^

An Eccentric Cellist 12-25-2006 03:50 PM

I have seven useless days left, thank the gods that Holidays are so short, otherwise I'd be wackier than I already am.
~Happy Christmas

Catch 12-25-2006 04:50 PM

Sorry. I was in a rush.

Now I'm at work. It is a holiday and completely boring, so going to go to the chat rooms. (Wished myspace was accessable. They block it here.)

Scratch that. I am in Pompano Beach right now, near Fort Lauderdale. I will also be in Hollywood, Florida at some point. If anyone is around this area, hook me up with some fun d(-^)

I will probably be back Wednesday of next week. Apparently my stay here is longer than I had anticipated.

And with this post I have become...

an Elder Goth.

Hence I celebrate with red.

I must bask...

maggot 12-28-2006 05:55 PM

BB, I'd buy you a shot if I had a false ID. :P

I have a joke:

Q: What are the contents of a String Quartet?

A: A good violinist,
A bad violinist,
An ex-violinist,
And a violinist-hater.



Interesting facts~
- Many violists are ex violinists.
- There are two violins, one viola, and one cello in a standard quartet.
- One cellists sound is equal to that of a eight violinists.


Congrads on making Elder Goth, BB. Enjoy basking.

maggot 12-28-2006 11:43 PM

One cellists sound is equal to that of a eight violinists.

I'm fascinated! Care to further explain this?

An Eccentric Cellist 12-29-2006 05:05 AM

I have managed to forget standard numbers but if you have ever seen an orchestra there are usually a hole heck of a lot more violins than cellos. That is because violins are smaller and very important(they have the melody most often), like the full size violin is the size of a half or 3/4 viola. The violins are situated in a way that puts their f-holes (the holes where the sound comes out) facing into the audience, so they have a greater chance of being heard with the melody, all their sound goes out directly.
Cellos are faced so their sound, or most of it, is not directly at the audience, because we are bigger and there fore produce a bigger sound, and can overpower the melody ~or~ drive the beat through the roof, which if you have the melody and are playing sixteenth notes is sadistic beyond belief, it's very fun.
The ratio that I've been taught is one to eight, so one cello and one violin are playing both on fortissimo(very loud), the cello drowns the violin out, they will be close to equal when there are eight violins and one cello.

HumanePain 12-29-2006 07:52 AM

So the 1 to 8 ratio is in terms of decibels? A comparison of audio power output?

#1158374 12-29-2006 02:31 PM

It's been awile. hmmmm....

An Eccentric Cellist 12-29-2006 02:50 PM

I do believe it is based on output.

Total subject change but, I got new boots today! They are gorgeous, and have a heel, I adore them. My dad says they're cool, cooler than his platforms.

HumanePain 12-29-2006 06:09 PM

Hooray for you! (cough) Now I want to get some new boots too. (cough).

More randomness: is it just me or do things seem kind of quiet around here since Pyre and PersephoneX went away?...I miss them...(mopes).

For the very bored and immune to pain
 
I was bored so I made a seagull out of wax.

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...rn/picz017.jpg


I had to pour the wax into my palm to get it to squidge together properly. My hand is red and tender but I think it was worth it in order to relieve my boredom for 15 minutes.:D

HumanePain 12-30-2006 01:50 PM

That is very lifelike Honeythorn!
