    Older or Younger-->does it matter??

    Uh huh, yeah, sure. Because we're all "like totally" into shoes and clothes, never talk about sport or tell jokes, and couldn't possibly engage in an intelligent conversation about world issues. We're sheep, us females. All sheep. All the same, all conforming to a group. *Rolls eyes*

    The Literary Acquisition Thread

    Mm. Sales. Book sprees. And wow. That's weird. I picked up the same 4 Raymond E Feist books today. :) And Stephen Donaldson's The Runes of the Earth, the Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Nice hardcover... $6 in the 2nd hand bookshop. Brand new, not even been read. I was very impressed.

    HSC Performance - Singers

    The only advice I can give you for sight singing is to practise... 12? (That's just a guess...I don't remember how many you get) bars, play the first note and then give it a go, and then play it on the piano (or other instrument) to see how you went. That's one thing I don't think is entirely...

    deceptive teacher ruins trial for student

    Um, hello. It was a trial. It's not like she had any obligation to tell the truth about what may or may not have been in the exam. So, basically, that's really your fault if you "went crap in that section as a result" :uhhuh:

    Music 1/2 Help for Next Year

    No offense meant, but your teacher sounds like a lazy ass. Anyone that is thinking of studying music at university should be considering music 2, as should anyone who wants a bit more of a challenge. Music 2 is harder, but it isn't that difficult to get a good mark; You just have to put in the...

    The Literary Acquisition Thread

    Baha, oh and I forgot about The Three Musketeers, The Man in the Iron Mask and The Lady of the Camellias by Alexandre Dumas. :D

    The Literary Acquisition Thread

    Heh, I kinda went on a spree yesterday in a 2nd and bookshop in Newcastle. Came out with a lot. :D Tailchaser's Song, the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series (which I'd borrowed from a friend), the first book in the Otherland series and The War of the Flowers by Tad Williams, the Death Gate...

    What are you currently Reading?

    Nope, this is the first time. Been told by a few people that it's great, so I decided to give it a go. I'm really enjoying it so far.

    What are you currently Reading?

    It sucks when you lose a book :( I'm reading The Count of Monte Cristo at the moment. And Dragon Wing, which is the first book in The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.

    HSC Performance - Singers

    Try to perform in front of people more often. One of the heardest things to do is get a bunch of your friends together and practise in front of them; to me, performing in front of people you know is always harder than performing for people you don't. Or, if you wear glasses, take them off when...

    Friends who are assholes who are friends...

    Hon, I've been in a similar situation... I think the best thing to do is just let him go. It's hard, but better for everyone in the long run. If he wants to sort things out, he'll come around and (hopefully) be the better person for it. If not, maybe he didn't value your friendship as much as...

    The mystery schooler

    I think the retards from my school scared away all the normal people that caught the train. :( Tragedy.

    she's after him... right?

    LMAO yeah, I second that.

    Everything Science Fiction

    Ditto. Actually, I started reading Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn recently, and I've been considering picking up the Otherland books too.

    Everything Science Fiction

    I love science fiction too, and I agree with Kami about Dune being a stand-out series. And most of H.G Wells' sci-fi novels like The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds I also enjoy the sci-fi/fantasy genre crossover.

    what is the name of this book???

    Was it The Last Dragonlord by Joanne Bertin? Here is the Amazon book description

    Performance in front of another school!

    Yeah, it would also have been good if you were performing in front of their year12 class, and they for you... You can get feedback that way. In my class we just performed in front of each other... But there were 22 in music 2 and 9 in music extension doing performance, so it was easier with...

    Hardest to Sing

    That note bites... But not impossible... Just really hard.. Glitter and be Gay from Candide by Bernstein is a fiendish piece.
