JL, I'm the same way... completely an alto. Oh well.
Off-topic, but if anyone does know how to figure out the key of a song, please let me know. I've always wondered about that and it's kinda sad that I've played the piano for many years but still don't know how to determine the key of "Without You."
I can't sing at all!
Yes, my brother is younger. He was always the more "adventerous" of the two of us, and yet never really got in trouble. It probably had something to do with me being "mouthy" a lot. (Who me? Never.)
I think someone (i forget who, am being lazy and not scrolling backwards) had it right when they said that if we're "boring" and we don't do a lot of bad stuff, it just makes our things SEEM bad. Sure, I was on the computer at 2am, but life goes on. I am the only one in my family who uses the computer as a life tool rather than something to check email on every few days. (Can you imagine? Checking only every few days? I'd go insane.)
I can not sing at all. I wish I could.
I also have an easier time singing along to male voices, although I can also sing the super-high notes. It's just the female mid-range that I can't handle. Not that it stops me from trying when I sing in the shower.

I know the feeling. In my family, I tend to take after my dad with the b**chy, sarcastic, take-no-prisoners sense of humor and rather volatile temper, while my brother tends to take after my mom with the more compassionate, easily offended mushiness. Since my mom is the more involved parent, that doesn't bode well for me when it comes to discipline.

I think I'm the one who said that. It's sort of like how I went to a high school where everyone was a really good student and there were none of the major discipline issues that you find in a typical NYC public school, so the security guards went around handing out demerits for stupid s**t like wearing shirts that exposed your shoulders or using your locker during a lunch period other than your own.

Just looking at that phrase made me slightly queasy and shaky. I need my morning Internet like some people need their morning coffee.
Because I'm not a great singer, I can sing along (on the rare occasion that I do) to the guy's parts, because I've got no range.
I sing along to everything, but that doesn't mean it sounds good or right at all.
hehe ... I have always listened to Rent when I have been on long car trips, because I can sing one part the first time through and another part another time through. It seems that after I have been singing awhile I gain range cause I can hit the TMOLM notes after awhile. If I was actually a singer I'm sure I'd find out all about warm up exercises etc that would make that work more often.
I am wanting to watch something on TV that is *not* football. (flip) (flip) (flip)

I'll laugh if we went to the same school, but it sort of nice to know these pathetic nuances don't just happen at my lovely HS.
Marlene, I vaguely remember a thread about high school that was on this board a couple of weeks ago where I noticed that someone was a junior at the high school I went to. If the terms "collateral," "Founder's Day," and "referral" mean anything to you, then:
A) We did go to the same school
B) You're probably had a class with my little brother at some point
C) You've spent most of your winter "break" working on at least 3 of the aforementioned collaterals
hah, I remember referrals. I got one once, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was for. It was something so absurd that I just laughed. "I'll have to write you up for...."
Oh! They were for cutting gym classes, I think. But I didn't really cut. Whatever, I didn't care.
If anyone's interested, today's episode of Oprah is a rerun with James Frey, author of A Million Little Pieces.
I feel like a bad person; I changed my desktop background. It's not Adam anymore.
Em! *gasp* How could you?
But I changed it to snuggly cowboylove!! It's the picture that was just my avatar before this. He'll be back!
Yes. I love gay men. I love cowboys. I love HOT cowboys even more. I am a sucker for a heartfelt love story.
This movie refuses to get out of my head, and I like it that way!
The cowboys deserve their love. I'm sure Adam will be back in due time.
I hate writing Spanish papers!!!
<-- but he's so cute. And they SNUGGLE. A little. (And the photo fits my new widescreen, so that didn't hurt.)
I still lofe Adam very much.
Anthony was too determined to *not* to post once the studio execs told him not to, so I don't think he would so obviously defy them. Besides, if they confronted him about being Wax Lion, I don't think he's a good enough liar to convince them he's not if he is.
But, I've also read posts where Wax Lion definetly is kyle. Where he's thanking everyone for voting for him and stuff like that. Hmmmmm
Wax Lion definitely isn't Kyle. Those posts were because Wax Lion decided he was in love with Kyle, so he became Kyle's cheerleader. If Kyle is in on the joke, it wasn't until he after did the ultimate Renthead contest, because it definitely wasn't from the beginning.
the getting to wear the old Mark sweater and meeting Anthony and the others at the premiere
The sweater wasn't because of Wax Lion, it was from JHartnow- he thanked him in his entry on the Rent blog.
Em, I'm shocked! No Adam? I feel like the whole world is topsy-turvy!
Well I guess if it's cowboy snuggles, then it's ok.
It's not like... a bug, or something.
"*ponders* there are only about what, 10 boys in my grade...who could it be?"
ROFL. I remember how strange it was taking those Queens College courses in senior year and noticing that hey, there are more than 5 boys in the class.
Heh, I keep flipping back and forth between Adam and those pictures of the midnight buffet chocolate I posted last night for my desktop. Either way, I have this strange urge to lick my computer screen
I'm just feeling bad because Adam is getting attacked (as usual) over at CB. Someone who actually claims to be a fan described Cybele as ugly ("is she supposed to be a model or something?") and made fun of Adam supposedly running crying to her. I would really enjoy slapping him into oblivion at the moment.
