Send it to me! I’m guessing it has about decibels and hearing damage, a bit of inverse square law and something about binaural localisation?

Aw, poor Dore. I haven’t had panic for years, I stress too much in advance. You always do well when you don’t freak out though. What was the exam on?

Well, I say relaxing – I’m either checked out and lazy, or I’m in work mode. Right now it’s work mode, I’ve been designing my circuit to perfection on veroboard and mixing the new music assignment we have. Yeah, if it goes well it’ll be fun – but nothing ever goes well. I wish I could have just worked by myself and done a simple vid with my friend, but NOOOOooo it has to be group work with a client. <_> Bah. We’ll see how it goes. I shant be helping other groups though, wont be around for their filming (unless anybody asks me to that is).

Oh no, it counts. It’s 40% of the module. I just mean it’s so easy it barely counts as work. It’s just fun, like if building a Lego model was 40% of your exam, you know? MONEY IN THE BANK!

OH WATE. Stop the presses. I thought it was a steel string acoustic. That simplifies things for you, because I know nothing of makes of those really, and I don’t think there are as many makes. It does mean you definitely need nylon strings though, they’re not interchangeable. You have a lil’ classical guitar there.

Look at the bridge, and how the strings are attached (not the end with the tuners) are wrapped round each other in a lil’ knot? It can be quite fiddly to tie them, my musician friend’s suck at it – I’ll show you how.

It does mean you don’t get coloured ends though, because nylon strings don’t have ball ends.

Everyone should have that shirt.

PFFT, I would be when I was starting out.

Oh, and also make sure it's actually acoustic strings you get, cos they're different to electric ones.

Yeah, but it's lovely cold, hard facts. Once you get your head around them you'll find easy. Of course you've passed, plonker. Every failed anything before?

Yeah, having fun at the moment is relaxing after that mahoosive song project. Until I start seriously bricking it about our music video filming. (We have lots of extras and have to book the SU, fill in H&S forms and pay for the technician because students aren't trusted). Got just under two months to finish that and a business plan for a recording studio.

Nothing painfully urgent though. The electronics assessment doesn't count because it's so easy. I just wish everyone else found it so, they reallllly need to apply themselves. Remember when I was shadow boxing in Banter saying I wanted to do it? Well I blitzed in and had my pre amp built and working before the others even knew what they were doing. - only because I'm a massive geek and prepared ages in advance because I hate not knowing exactly what I'm doing.

With guitar strings, the main thing that matters is the gauge. Heavier strings are harder to play, but last longer. So there's a trade-off. However, it's not that simple because guitars are set up to accept a certain gauge (how much tension the neck has etc).

The best bet is 9-42. They're nice and light and what most guitars are set for..

As for brand, go for D'addario, good for two main reasons:

1)They come in a sealed bag so the strings aren't ruined when you get them (I used to get paper packed ones that had rusted!)

2)They're colour coded and pretty.

Pus they mean you can be like your hero. Me. Tom.

Aw don't be. When are you going to hear your results from all these? Like the one you didn't think you had done well in.

I think a)She was a girlfriend, telling guy to come over is their special move and b)You're probably brighter than her.

You can still be angry at me if you want, I'm fun to be mad at. I'm always disappearing anyway too. I just took my brother and sister out and was doing some more work (like a good boy).

WOOH. I doubt you'll need me, but I'm always willing.

Hooray, I'm useful and having a wonderful time!

You also totally did that thing where you reply on your own wall. (it was only typing this I realise I was about to do the same *CPs to your page instead*)

Being not wrong is reward enough as it's very rare, but if you must I'll take that hug now.

Finally my years of audio learning have a real world application. :chuckles:

You're welcome for that one small granule of a particle of a percentage of your total score letting you win your exam.

Well sibilance is more the hiss produced than the whistling. That's just weird person noise.

I'M STILL RIGHT THOUGH, AND YOU OWE ME FOR HELPING YOU WIN UR EXAM. True story. You're lucky I'm such a great guy.

Sibilance?

Hmm, not hearing stuff... not not breathing stuff, no mouth rings.

Was it the bottle in the mouth thing?

I do appreciate the .gif though, you're adorable, bless ya.

Hello there. I hope you're okay. Well done for finally finishing off the candle, that lasted a while.

Maybe I'll get a nice smelly one to air out my new room.

*hugs*

Oh, and delete my account please.

For srs though, tell Niall to change your award colour. Pick a nice one and just tell Niall the hex code. We're gods, we can do as we please.

I WAS HIDING UNDER YOUR PORCH BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!

Am I still allowed to talk to you about Christmas, or am I a despised authority figure now?

Ah well that's too bad, cos I'm all done now. Sammy's taking the controls for the results of the awards bit.

I do, cos xmas is hard work enough. It was okay, family are very nice and I got many treasures I don't deserve. I just always feel bad at Christmas and guilty about my family. I'd sooner hide in a box til it goes away.

Was yours good? How many days do you have left to cram revision in now?

It's okay, it's all part of the fun of the awards! I know you're just fooling.

I'm sorry you're sick too, it's rubbish timing >:/

Can you please delete my account, I never use it except to ask to have my account delted thanks?

ALso can you change my name to acount deleted then undelete my acount and delete it again after changing it's name to undeleted plz?

Indeed, more NY facts for you then.

The reason you sold it was that it was just becoming more trouble than it was worth. It was originally just an out of the way camp for the fur trade and less and less of you Dutchies could be bothered going there.

You had puritanical governers who wanted an ordered town and to everyone else it was booze/ho city. So when the British were looming, it was easier for you to just get rid to us.

Also, the famous Wall St is so named because it was the site of the original Dutch city wall, which we promptly binned because by then it was a lil' small.

/New York facts.

I'll give you a different subject next time, this was just a no-brainer because I'm getting ready for uni and don't even have pants on yet.

Fact of the day:

You know silly people automatically say New York when asked what the US capital is?

New York was going to be the capital originally, but silly Southern sods wanted a nice non-industrial rural capital. So the Northern states made a deal, the government assumed the debt incurred by all the states in the revolutionary war and South have the capital. They chose a swamp where everyone could pick up malaria every year and called it Washington D.C.

I'll post speshul interesting facts here, just for you.

Yeah, I will don't worry. I'm a good boy. I'm giving it time to settle on it's own before I go whinging for help again.

No news yet, we have huge forms to fill in, even more crap in them than usual. We need character references now and even our guarantors need them, plus utility bills, licenses etc ... So much faff. You'll know when it's done because you'll get your invite.

Just preparing for uni is enough to stress me out, plus some of our assignments are making me anxious. Music video group work for one.

9-5 five days a week? O_O That's the harshest class times I've ever heard. I was in 5 days a week for 1st year, but never for that long and it seems to become less the longer you're there.

It's not long into the semester, you can hit the liberry up for books and you'll catch up in no time. You've probably only missed boring induction stuff.

I know, I just couldn't think of anything else to say... erm... is your uniform clean and are your shoes polished?

Aw, aren't you a sweetums?

It's still not back to normal and there's a little aching, no stabbing pains though so I can get by for now.

My body sorting itself out might be being slowed down by stress of house hunting and uni. Either that or there's still some residual problem, because some of my meds are going right through me. ¬_¬ I'm going to see my GP I next have free time.

Looking forward to school tomorrow? Got your packed lunch ready?

I don't like you being sad, you're too super and lovely and stuff.

Don't like going on about myself in banter, but I do appreciate those who care. <3

It's much better than being ignored.
