well, i guess that not ALL of the people on this forum know your name, that's normal. anyway, i remember you told us something 'bout your real one a long time ago.

 

everything began 'cos i felt a huge admiration for ppl who know how to play the guitar, so i decided i had to try to do it. when my exams period was over, and i had 2 weeks off the uni, i thought: this is the time! and since my father knows how to play it, he taught me how to put my fingertips in the strings in order to do the chords and some other stuff. those days i played and played the guitar and i improved it quickly and now i'm obsessed as i told ya. i don't have a particular site for looking for the chords, i usually write on google the name of the song + chords and i go to the first web that it shows. :)

 

oh, yeah, i do like english, of course. but what i said would be one of the main advantages, don't you think?

 

NOW...

YOU

SURPRISED

ME with your last question. :stunned:

 

How come you talk to me about Carlos?? I have loads of pics of him, as well as pics of Pete, John, well... and all of The Libs', DPT's and Shambles' guys. I'm even a member of a private forum 'bout them!! They're another of my obsessions!

 

oh i bought a chords book, but or i don't get the rythm or something... it sounds strange when i try to play anything, (i use a classical guitar)... i don't like the chords thing, at high they tought me to play melodies no chrods so..

 

yes it will be one of the great advantages.

 

oh i noticied that, then you can post there some carlos pics.. some girls wanted mr barat pics.. :)

well, nowadays me thinks it's better to find the chords through the internet. i don't have probs in seeing when i have to sing and play this or that other chord. they usually sound good. i guess when you say melodies you mean trying to play the guitar as if it were an harp, right? (even though you don't have to do that in all of the songs!)

 

haha, carlos pics spam?? maybe i will!

oh well let's leave the guitar thing, saying that i'm better as a piano player, i have a good ear, so i managed to play some music songs only by the sound... mike oldfield songs basically; i find the guitar a bit difficult... (i have a problem on my right arm).

 

they will like them, there are some big carlos fans.

hahaha, sorry, i didn't get you were talking bout the piano. i own a piano in my home and i know how to play it too, i took one year and a half lessons of it.

oh, you find it difficult? i think it's much harder to play the piano! the last song i learnt was 9 crimes by damien rice (on the piano, of course), and i know that at first it was a bit difficult. it's much easier to play and sing a song on the guitar (in my opinion). what's wrong with your right arm?

 

haha, that's good to hear!

haha, that's good to hear!

 

i own a piano and a guitar. the piano since i was 10, well now i own a bigger one. the guitar is since last summer.

 

i find easy play the piano, may be because is the first instrument i owned and played... the sound is direct, i mean you touch a key and it sounds, the guitar you have to push different strings at the same time to do a chord..

 

i have a probelm with the tendons on my shoulders... when i was born the doctor broke them.. well... i use to have tendinitis every time i try to carry heavy weights..

oh, i started playing the piano when i was 12 and i own a guitar since i was born 'cos it's my daddy's guitar. well, actually the flute was the first instrument that i played - but i don't take it into account - so, piano was the first one as well.

 

yeah, i know what you mean with the sound thingy but i don't think you have to put so much strength while playing a chord, i mean, maybe in the beginning, when you're a newbie, seems that you've to be someone really strong but that's wrong. i've always been so weaaak.

 

oh, i understand, this is a problem though.

oh, i understand, this is a problem though.

is not a problem of be weak there... for me is combination.. to put the fingers in the strings... and play with the other hand.. i can do melodies but i find chords so hard.. i can't get them all sound at one time...

 

is a problem, but i don't like to think about it.. although i think it made my personality.. i'm not brave to do teams for competitons or sports, because i'm afraid of broke something so that's why i'm shy... and well when it hurts or pains... i can get bad temper.. :( although i'm usually a calm person but..

that's weird. i mean, i thought it was a bit hard at first (but that happens when you start to play any instrument), but afterwards i thought: woah, it's much easier than i expected!

 

oh, sports! i'm not brave either, i have never been good at (i could say) any sport. in fact i don't like team sports and when i had to play them i used to end up feeling bad. i think the fact that you are not brave for competitions or sports doesn't really reduce the chances you have for doing things! you shouldn't be shy 'cos of that. (if it only affects you on the sports thing)

 

 

edit: i gotta go to sleep. night! :snore:

pleased to have talked to you, sweet dreams oneona :angel: ;)

song of the day:

 

Quit playing games with my heard by Back Street Boys

 

Even in my heart i see

You're not bein' true to me

Deep within my soul i feel

Nothing's like it used to be

Sometimes i wish i could turn back time

Impossible as it may seem

But i wish i could so bad baby

Quit playin' games with my heart

 

Chorus

Quit playin' games with my heart

Before you tear us apart

I should've known from the start

Before you got in my heart

I live my life the way

To keep you comin' back to me

Everything i do is for you

So what is it that you can't see

Sometimes i wish i could

Turn back time, impossible as it may seem

But i wish i could so bad

You better quit playin' games with my heart

 

Chorus

 

Quit playin' games

Baby, baby the love that we had was so strong

Don't leave me hangin' here forever

Oh baby, baby this is not a lie, let's stop this tonight

 

Baby, quit playin' games

Sometimes i wish i could

Turn back time, impossible as it may seem

But i wish i could so bad, baby

Quit playin' games with my heart

 

Shocking i know but.... i wanted to post a Frank Sinatra song but i can't find the lyrics.. robbie williams made a version of that one with Nicole Kidman....

there you go :D

Something Stupid

I know I stand in line

Until you think you have the time

To spend an evening with me

And if we go someplace to dance

I know that there's a chance

You won't be leaving with me

 

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place

And have a drink or two

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like I love you

 

I can see it in your eyes

You still despise the same old lines

You heard the night before

And though it's just a line to you

For me it's true

And never seemed so right before

 

I practice every day to find some clever

lines to say

To make the meaning come true

But then I think I'll wait until the evening

gets late

And I'm alone with you

 

The time is right

Your perfume fills my head

The stars get red

And oh the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like I love you

I love you...

there you go :D

that's the song, thanks sally :kiss: (i didn't remember the title :embarassed: )

 

btw how are you doing sally? :cool:

hey sally, how are you doing? :kiss:

 

oh my dad told me to answer to the ministery offer (they offered me a grant to do this course), so if they will give me the grant for it i'll do the summer course, i always have time to don't do it, in case i get a job for summer... i gave 3 cvs for 3 job offers which i doubt they will choose me (students of the 3rd year had already apllied for the same offer, so they have more experience and have lectures about the job, receptionist), but as i already have a no, may be if i try it, they will choose me.

related to all this, i also have to get my driving license too, for any job offer i send a cv, in the interview they always end asking me if i own a car or if i have a driving license... is a point that they seriously have into account to choose an employee or other so... when i'll get the dl they won't refuse me as a candidate for this reason... but i don't know how i will have time to do all this before summer. :S

getting the first job is hard :(

 

i'm ok. i know its hard... well i've had a few jobs but no proper job apart from the one in england. i worked at a call centre, in a shop and at the post office but those werent job i actually enjoyred and i didnt work there for a long time either. good luck with the summer job, hope you'll get a positive response soon. i've wanted to take driving lessons for ages but i cant for financial reasons. they're very expensive over here. i'm looking for an apprenticeship at the moment. its quite hard to get one because its a special one you can only do if you have passed your a levels and its especially hard for me because i took the wrong subjects at school. i dont know if thats what i really wanna do but at least i could go to england if i had one because theres something i could do if i returned to switzerland. i just dont feel like going to uni right now. i know i should when i think about logical reasons but its like my heart is saying no. everyone tells me i should go to uni, that its a great chance and that i'll regret it. but i dont know. i'm still young and could go later if i really wanted to. i wish i could just go to england and get a job there and work for some time, i'd enjoy it a lot more than basically other three or five years of reading books and writing essays. and depending on finanicial support. but i'm undecided because apparently it is a good to go to uni and everyone tells me i'd regret it if i didnt do it.

that's the song, thanks sally :kiss: (i didn't remember the title :embarassed: )

 

btw how are you doing sally? :cool:

 

its all good. i really like robbie williams [apart from rudebox] but i've never been into swing so i didnt buy it. but my ma bought bought it for christmas when it was released and its actually quite good. and the song with nicole kidman's lovely anyway.

 

i'm ok... just replied to the other post.;) what about you?

oh, they didn't answered me yet.. and i think they won't... until summer :o

 

oh i had the same problem with the driving license (financial)... well, i can get it soon, before i go to portugal.

 

my high school teachers told us that if we don't go to uni, just when he have finished a levels, we won't get time to go to uni years later.. :( I wanted to have a rest year, but my mum told me i must go to uni... and hopefully i did it, if i wouldn't have started uni last year i wouldn't want to do it now...

 

the problem here is the priorities, if you prefer to study, you won't have time for get a job... and the other way round :/

 

btw what do you want to study at uni? we don't have to read lots of books... in other degrees like filology they should read at least 10 books in a year :o

i'm not a robbie expert, but the few songs i listened of him i liked them.. except rudebox.. our english teacher at uni played this song time ago, i looked for the paper with the lyrics and as i didn't remember the title... so i ended posting BSB one lol... anyways both songs fits my feelings now...

oh dear, i hate that, lots of employers do that. i still hope you'll get a reponse anytime soon.

 

basically i was told the same, i'll never do it if i dont do it now and i'm already 21. i really dont know. i might not but if i dont its clearly my decision then, innit? i mean if i really felt like doing it i guess i would have the motivation to do it. but then again i might be wrong. you need to have priorities, its all about that and those things changed when i lived abroad. i realised that i enjoyed life so much more than back in the days when i was at school. work might be stressful and all that but you can relax in the evening, theres no exams to study for and no books which need to be read. its also a problem because i depend on my parents finanicially while i'm at uni which isnt a good thing either. i always wanted to study law but i wont. the course takes five years and it takes other two years to become a lawyer. it would be interesting for sure but i dont wanna study until i'm 28. i'm thinking about studying business studies but i'm still undecided.

you are right, is your decition... i thought they same as you, what do i do at uni?, how would it be? until my mum "forced" me to go to uni... and i think i won't do enough to thanks her *looks the sky*

my dad quit studies when he was 15, when he worked as bellboy his boss adviced him to study tourism (which was a brand new degree then), and he refused to, then when he got married my mum, and before i were born he tried to go back to studies and he started to study economy degree and he had to quit because it was difficult because the theories he remembered from school had changed totally... :(

 

but is your decition :) and yes, you are right study laws is tiring... i mean you spend 5 years and they other 2 more to get to be a lawyer and get a job then... here this degree is one of the most crowded... :/

 

you can study whenever you want later and enjoy the present now ;) that's a good decition too. (in fact that's what i wanted to do when i finished high).

i've seen him in concert, i was going to leeds last year but my boss didnt let me go because of a meeting.:angry:

 

aww do they? *hugs* :kiss:

 

to a robbie concert? :o lucky girl :sneaky:

 

yes they do, i'm in a "melancholic" moment... too much free time, and i feel the "love is in the air" all around now, 'cause the spring season oh well.. plus i'm trying to write a new story, and the love part makes me sad always... i tried to find the first paper where i started to wrote it and i can't find it, i'm afraid i gave it to some uni lecturer accidentaly lol :shocked:

yeah maybe i'd be the same, what do i know? as i said i'm still undecided, a part of me says i should do it and another part says that i really dont wanna do it. it was so obvious when i was still at school but experiences changed my mind. i know life wouldnt be easy if i did what i consider at the moment but i do think i'd have a better time. apparently i should also think about the future and thats what i'm worried about.

 

many people wanna study law over here as well, thats one of the reason why its such a hard degree.

i'm afraid i can't help you to decide it :( but i'm sure you'll choose the best option. :) althought it can be the harder one at first too.

to a robbie concert? :o lucky girl :sneaky:

i did! in 2001 and 2003. as i said i was going to leeds last year but my boss didnt let me go. and i missed the merseyside derby as well because of the same meeting which was on friday and saturday. i still hate her for that!

 

aww i see. spring makes me kind of sad too right now even though it really shouldnt. oh dear lets hope that didnt happen. i was confused to letters and gave the wrong one to my sports teacher. that was so embarrassing. i was supposed to give her the one from my doctor which said i wasnt allowed any kind of sports for two weeks because of some accident and i gave her the one i wrote for a good friend.:embarassed:

oh that's so embarassing... it happend the same with a poem, i sent it to eoi journal, i sent it via email to avoid my teacher to read it, and it went directly to my teacher lol... they published 2 of them :)

 

well this time if so, the lecturer will be worried, because it started on a sad way so... i hope i can find it... i have the second paper but i need this one too.. i wanna write this story this holiday.. hopefully i still have the plot i wrote about the story but...
