I figured, but I guessed you probably used it more than bebo.
You managed to get a job?! I've been scouring Galway all Summer and the closest I got was: "sorry, we finished hiring a couple of weeks ago."
I'm pretty good! Finally done with school, so I have a whole year to figure out college stuff now!

Does that mean you have a year in college in which you have to figure stuff out or you're taking a year off to figure out which college stuff to do?
Also, by "got" a job I meant "managed to retain" a job (from last year) I'm still pretty pleased with myself.

Great that you're done with school, I hated it! Any plans for the year? Travel, gigs?

When I posted that it was the latter, but I received an offer for a course I didn't think I'd get. So now it's the former.

Well done! None of my mates were able to keep their jobs, so either way you're doing well!

I wasn't too fond of it either. Gigs or travel would be awesome, but I'm pretty much completely broke. So no plans really, I just intend to get out of the house as often as I can.

awh that sucks i got a friend to buy my ticket for me and i'll pay him back in installments ahhh, coming over from ireland could be difficult and yeah, it would be great if they released a DVD also, there was uproar at the fact they didn't play in Manchester in the latest tour, so that may be another reason.
and yeah, i heard about that there's some awesome B-sides from absolution i think they deserve to be officially released i heard they were going to do an album of their old songs but "performed better" which would be nice i think if they find the time with all the other stuff theyr're doing

Didn't know they left manchester out on the last tour, I'd say they'll do something big to practice for the big stadium show, when they played here 2 years back they done the extended version of knights because they were going to do V festival afterwards.

and yeah they only did Liverpool, Sheffield, Glasgow (i think) and the O2 arena in the UK on their last tour there was an online protest about them missing Manchester
awwwh wow i'm liking the new introduction to knights by the way with the harmonica, very nice also, are you subscribed to the muse website? if so you would have got a christmas present off them; a video of MK Ultra live from their last tour!!!! which is awesome if you didn't get it i could e-mail it to you if you wish

Ye I'm a member of that, same user name. Thanks for telling me I must take a look at my emails. I signed in just before christmas to use the media player (which is awesome) dont think I've been on it since.

the band is fun and good for learning timing and stuff, we dont take ourselves too serious we're not great and I'm the worst one so its zero pressure for me.

i got my guitar at around 14 too

and wooo! XD ratm are awesome indeed what did you think about the killing in the name vs X-factor thing? theyre basslines are awesome but i only have a guitar to play them on so its not quite as good >_< and ah, well if the others are exceptional at music then i see what you mean but the fact that you're playing with them does say something bout your ablilities

Rage Factor? I thought it was great, I'm not a fan of x-factor and I hate the way it monopolizes the charts, never thought it was going to win. Did you see the link on the muse homepage saying we support rage factor?

I have to play on guitar too, it kills me to do uprising on it, sounds so bad.

The weather here is bad. Snow, black ice, really hard to get around and most the transport is out too. My college won't open for a week or too anyway so I dont know if I will miss any time. What do you study in college?

yeah i learnt the err.. "bridge" guitar part of uprising on guitar (if you know which bit i mean) but not the rest Yes Please is an extremely fun one to play though repetative, but good finger exercise
and yeah, man, sounds like you got it worse than me, and i've just found out i've got tomorrow off too!!

I think I know the bit you mean, I know nothing about musical terms. Me and my mate (the drummer) worked through uprising with a section we called "the hard bit that goes dum-dum dadadada dadadada". The singer was not pleased, she teaches classical piano.
I use the main bass riff from hysteria as a warm up, sounds great no matter how slow ya play it. I must look up yes please.

Sounds like you got it bad enough, guy on the news said manchester got a foot of snow.

theheee, wow, talented people in your band and you can never go wrong with hysteria (if that wasn't a song title that would make a very odd sentence >_< )
yeah, the snow is pretty bad here,got nearly a foot of it. no more snow is forcast though, so looks like i'll be back at college tomorrow

yeahh Absolution's b-sides were brilliant The Resistance hasn't really produced any :/ just a few crappy band's remix's T x T
i know, i've managed to get the whole week off though and missed a driving exam and heh, art is interesting to some extent, not in the fact that it's just jumping through hoops and we have never once been given advice on drawing techniques or actually how to draw T x T but i could have a go at that till kingdom come really
naaah the stuff i do in lesson is very different, we're pretty much not allowed to stylize anything :/ it's mostly experimental, which is really an excuse for people who have no drawing skill at all to get a good mark T x T quantity over quality *sigh* but if i want a coureer in art, i've gotta get the qualifications :/

The whole week? Nice! And you drive, cool. I'm too lazy to learn, and worried that will get worse if I can sit down while going places walkings the only exercise I get.

My mate had the same trouble in fine art, said it was playing to the weak students and never really done anything good. Good that you want to keep it up after college. I've no idea, maybe prof. or author, its a long way off with my grades. Either that or my band is the next zeppelin.

and yeah, i only went in on monday looks like i'm gonna be back this week though, which sucks but i've gotta go back at some point though i guess
heh XD i was given free driving lessons which is great but as i haven't passed yet i still walk places, it's the only excersise i get too

yeaaah, theres so much pressure in education to make everyone get good grades now just means the people with exceptional skill don't get noticed and those without pass as "good" :/
oooh author? have you written any short stories? my parents keep telling me to go down the english route 'cause i do like writing, but i dunno, will have to see where life takes me i guess and heh XD that'd be awesome do you write any original stuff for yer band btw?

Its a lot expensive -_- £42 for the dead star single on its own and that was a wide distrabution in its day, can only guess what the absolution thing is worth. Origin was my first, opening of newborn was what made me love it.
Not the best weather to learn to drive but the no college side of it is good, wont be too bad to go back for me only two hour days.

I do like to write but I almost never do it anymore. I also meant the boring kind, academic author. College stuff, maybe military history. Ye best just go with the flow, same with me no big plans.
I'm writing a song now actually, its not too good but I'm gona stick with it. Much to learn

Yes, my question was going to be "is it just me or is everyone leaving bebo?" I run some groups on it, death note and steampunk, so I log in every so often but my friends are never online now. This is the only active site I use. Never really got into twitter. I have an msn but I never set up my facebook page, just blank, must fix that.

Even I dont like hearing my own stuff but if I ever put it on the net I'll send ya a link.
Bebo was so fun I just stuck with it, then everyone got all mature and I had no one to talk to. At least I've still got the group things, ye I love steampunk I looked up that comic, is awesome but I want to read it from the start to see what its like.

The comic sounds cool, strange idea for a comic intro, must look it up. And ye that one, hush, was so awesome. I actually seen two vampire movies this week, Daybreakers, which was ok and Thirst which was a bit off the wall but really good. I started looking around for new movies and music recently, got really bored of my old collection, can't find much maybe that comic will keep me busy for a while.
