Hey, does anyone know off any sort of app that would translate Guitar Hero/Rock Band drums into actual music?

What outputs are the drums? USB?

Re: Giggling Orgasms:

I'm just saying, if I gave a dude head, and then he giggled about it, I'd be a little self concious.

Blog Thread,

My date cancelled on me tonight.

But he super apologized, and super promised to take me out Friday. And to make up for the cancellation, he is making me a mix cd!

This is a good thing, right? I mean no one goes through this much trouble to just sleep with someone, right? Chances are that this dude probably thinks I am pretty alright, right?

Josefbugman · « **Reply #1457 on:** 19 Jan 2009, 18:57 »

What number date is it? We would probably need more info about the man himself in order to come to a proper conclusion... but we can hope.

Also, good luck on the date! Is it a dinner, dancing or coffee date?

Emaline · « **Reply #1458 on:** 19 Jan 2009, 20:01 »

It would be date number one.

He seems to be a pretty nice guy. And he likes Slint, and Kevin Drew, and a lot of awesome stuff that I like. And he reads!

But he has also only known me for a few days, and has already said "You're very very pretty," "Don't be shy about your looks," "You're beautiful," and "I think you're wonderful."

This worries me a lot. And makes me think he just basically wants to sleep with me, which is not what I want(not right now, anyway). So hopefully I am wrong?

onewheelwizzard · « **Reply #1459 on:** 19 Jan 2009, 20:20 »

He might just not feel weird about complimenting someone about their looks. In fact (get ready for this) he might be attracted to you AND not just want to get into your pants, YET STILL express that physical attraction early on.

To be honest it sounds like you've got a real winner on your hands.

Re: giggle orgasms: I'm pretty sure that laughing after a moaning, spasming, multiple-minute, totally-tripping-out orgasm is a pretty clear "that was awesome thank you thank you" signal, but maybe that's just because that's what it was when I did it.

Dear thlag braad,

Lately Iv'e been realising just how cynical and negative I am about relationships, romantic or otherwise, but especially romantic ones (not while in them, but when i am not in one). I just know I shouldn't think that way. One of these days I am going to overcome my crippling social anxiety and sweep some lucky lady off her feet. It will be wonderful, me, I promise.

Emaline · « **Reply #1461 on:** 19 Jan 2009, 20:57 »

I know its pretty likely that dude thinks I am alright, and is not planning on just sleeping with me, but nonetheless, I nervous. Past experience says nice guys = just wanting to sleep with you. I am really hoping to I am wrong though. This guy seems really awesome, and damnit, I want things to work.

Liz · « **Reply #1462 on:** 19 Jan 2009, 21:03 »

Man, if every guy that was nice to me was trying to get in my pants I would have hella issues to deal with.

It is possible that he likes you and would like to date you and maybe get into your pants later in the relationship! This is probably the case and you can be happy about it!

Emaline · « **Reply #1463 on:** 19 Jan 2009, 21:13 »

I know I know I know. And I do have hella issues, obviously. I am immediately suspious of any guy who is nice to me.

I am trying to give this guy the benefit of the doubt. But I am still nervous. I want things to go well.

Liz · « **Reply #1464 on:** 19 Jan 2009, 23:19 »

Yes Jens. That was kind of the point.

Patrick · « **Reply #1465 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 01:57 »

Idunno it's definitely kindof red-flaggy for him to be so attentive when you haven't even gone out once. Not that it necessarily means he wants to sleep with you OMG RITE NAO. It could just mean that he's really really really really really into you with his good intentions. Idunno, kindof smacks of proto-obsession, you know what I'm saying?

I say go for it, but if he starts talking about babies, get the hell out of there.

Dear guys,

This morning, all my stuff was neatly arranged on my dressers. Then I turned my amp up louder than it has ever been before (and louder than anybody really needs unless they are trying to play for the entire planet) and I literally shook my room into a virtual disaster area. The last time I experienced that much OH FUCK LOUD was at the Ted Leo show at Stanford U in March '07.

I am going to have to duct tape everything into place and do it again, holy shit that was fun.

Love,
Me!

Dear Readers,

I woke up this morning to animals running amuck on my bed. I was sleeping soundly when I felt a bushy tail swipe across my face and the sound of "tip tap tip tap WHOOMP" as one of the dogs ran after him and jumped onto my stomach. I think the tiny guy may have caused internal bleeding as I can't stop seeing red.

Why do we own soo many animals! We have two dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 2 birds and 2 ferrets. I feel as if we are starting our ark. Maybe it is because we have 2 girl childs running amuck as well. Someone save me!

a very ded miette

I went to look at more flatshares today and I found one I really like. It's only a couple of hundred meters away from my new office so I can walk there in the morning, the flat is newly refurbished, the room is decently sized (23 m²) and the roommates are two nice and non-boring guys.
I think I'll take it.

In other news, my shoulder is finally getting better. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be able to drive again by next week.

So today was a good day.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #1475 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 12:02 »

I'm starting to miss home a little bit. I've only been in Boston a little under a week but this is basically the longest I've ever gone without seeing my brother and my girlfriend. On the other hand I'm having a really good time here so I guess it balances out.

Elizzybeth · « **Reply #1476 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 12:14 »

Okay, so now this was several pages ago, but a sincere thanks to everyone for the condolences re: my grandmother's suicide.

It was a sad, crazy weekend: my parents picked my boyfriend and I up Thursday night, and we got into the Sacramento area at about 5 a.m. We spent the weekend with my grandfather and neighbors, supporting each other through the first throes of the grieving process. It was bizarre to be in the house where she did it, to walk through every room but one (which we all wordlessly avoided).

Now that I'm no longer constantly on the verge of sobbing, I've become worried about depression. My mother, brother, and father--my entire immediate family--all have diagnosed bipolar disorder; there have been two suicide-attempt hospitalizations (my mother and my uncle) in my family in the past two years; and now there's this. I feel like I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop, as though it's not a matter of if I will begin suffering from clinical depression but when.

Today, I started back at work and school. I knew that this afternoon would be the first more-than-fifteen-minute period I've spent alone since I heard about her death, so I decided to check out the gym at school because exercise is really good at keeping me from giving into depressive thoughts. It felt really good.

So the silver lining to this cloud is that I think it's going to encourage me to get back into shape.

Patrick · « **Reply #1477 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 12:16 »

Dear blog thread,

We have a replacement drummer. His name is Endri. We have three days left to practice, but they are 3-hour sessions each time. Oh well. At least now we have a drummer again, which means the keyboard guy isn't going to bail.

I am also really pleased at the cool stuff in D.C. today. Cool that they used the same Bible that Lincoln used.

Love,
Me!

Barmymoo · « **Reply #1479 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 13:00 »

Ouch no, those things do hurt! You get used to it pretty fast though. The first week with a brace is the worst, you get blisters and feel embarassed that your mouth is a mass of steel and it just seems constantly to be digging in. And then the next week you forget it's even there.

Until someone offers you a snickers. At that point you will know only bitterness and regret, since your options are turning the bar down or accepting only to suffer later as you try and get the caramel coated peanuts out of your teeth.

Emaline · « **Reply #1481 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 13:13 »

Man, Elizzybeth. I am sorry. I missed your post about this earlier, but yeah. I know how you are feeling. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I know its hard, but you will push through this. I may sound heartless for saying this, but you have really just put everything that has happened in the past. Push forward, and live your life in what is happening now. I know it sounds really rude, but after your greiving period, you've really gotta push past what's happened. Look forward to the future. I know its really tough, but you can't stay upset about it forever. You can't change what happened. Its not your fault. You've just got to get out there and live your life.

And working out is good! Seriously. Its a great antidepressant. Whenever things start to get you down, I highly encourage working out.

If you ever need somebody to talk to, feel free to pm me. Trust me, I know exactly what you're going through right now.

So I come back from Boston to find out that one of my coworkers was fired and replaced all in one weekend. Also, my manager offered up the position of assistant manager, finally, but to both of us. I was thinking about it and decided that I would be rather irritated if the new girl gets it and I don't. As I have been here more than 2 days. And am obviously better than the two who have been fired in the past 4 months.

I do like my new coworker though. She is nice and much more talkative than the last guy, which for a slow job is rather excellent.

Today I realized that a girl I hooked up with this summer looks remarkable like Felicia Day only more attractive. Then I wondered why I had stopped hooking up with said girl. Then I remembered that we live on opposite sides of the country. It was a rather disappointing realization.
