Change your password, Rinoa?

And I do hope your trumpet is fine, Aelf...that would suck otherwise.

Note to self: Use sunblock on face/shoulders more the next time I'm outside a lot...
(Can't use lotion on my sunburn 'cause it'll make my acne worse...but it's itchy 'cause it's dry. D: )

It's O.K. now. When you get your trumpet out, are the valves ever "frozen" but when you press down they magically move freely again? (For the record, I try to oil them as opposed to pressing down) It was like a large scale of that. sad

 

[Who is Puffer Fish]

Can't say that happens to me since I'm not a trumpet...and the only major problems I've seen is our first chair always getting his mouthpiece jammed in his horn and getting H to use the un-jammer-contraption to get it out.

I had mouthpiece and valve problems, but I can't really remember what I did for my valve problems other than using valve oil. Most of the problems occurred in middle school and early high school, so I'm having trouble remembering that far back. sweatdrop

Sometimes temperature can effect a brass instrument in weird ways. That's something to keep in mind.

I'll be going to University of Colorado at Boulder. Had my orientation earlier this month. How did yours go, Tubariffic?

o.0 You're so far away, T i f a.

...where's ASU at, Tuba? Sounds like it's on the east coast.

So far away from where you live? I'm going to school in-state.  

[Who is Puffer Fish]

Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant. XD

I live like, an hour or so away from D.C.

Well, at least you live near some place cool. There isn't anything terribly exciting about Colorado. And I hate dealing with snow. xp  

[Who is Puffer Fish]

It's not really all that 'cool' to someone who lives here all the time.

There's a siren like, once a day. Usually ambulence, but, eh, stuff happens. ><

And I'm in the suburb of my city which is a suburb of DC.

DC itself kinda sucks what with traffic and crime and stuff.

I'm almost wondering if the crime's worse out here than it is there.

A girl at the middle school got beaten, her head shaved and bashed against a curb...for looking at the person funny. Which was probably unintentional. Believe a knife was involved somewhere in that violence, too...o.0

Dear god, those freshmen are going to screw over my school's reputation for being the 'good school of the county'. D:

Yeah, I figured that much. That's usually how it is.

The crime rate in my town is very low. You don't even see much graffiti.

Oh jeez, that's awful.  

[Who is Puffer Fish]

Yeah...
I'm not looking forward to schoolyears much anymore...then, hopefully, they'll realize that they're too nub to pull this crap anymore, hopefully...my high school has a no violence policy like whoa.

Well, I hope everything works out.  

[Who is Puffer Fish]

I'm sure it will...they won't be in any of my classes and the good ones are in band. xD
