The Good News Thread

Sports, politics, movies, videogames, questionable hobbies, photos from your family vacation, etc. Talk about stuff that isn't ponies or music. But do try to stay on topic and respectful of alternate opinions.

Dunno why it took so long but my PSAT scores were given back to me yesterday...

Spoiler Selection index, lower left, is out of a possible 240, national average is approximately 144:

We need to post in this thread more imo.

Anyway, on topic; I finally found my feet in Ableton and made a song I'm actually happy with ^^

I have to say getting the boxed version was worth it just for the manual, which is actually really well written. Now I just have to wait for a computer to install it on.

Compared to what I got with FL, the Ableton manual is the freakin' Bible. It's great :D

By the way, how're you liking Ableton?

Oh, related to the whole uni thing. We're honing in on a place for me to live and I got a copy of my proof of education signed off by a JP (basically someone who authenticates copies of official documents). We're sending it off tomorrow and after that I should get a kit with some important info and some other such stuff (map of the school and phone numbers I'd guess).

So I'm nearly ready to venture into the real world :D
(also I'm sorting out employment don't worry)

What happened to the Spam Thread?

What happened to the Spam Thread? I really liked the jokes in this thread, but all of a sudden some nutcase removed it! Why? Can we bring it back PLZ?

- Getting closer to 4 days/week at the CCL :D
- I'm finally becoming more me and more stable and distanced from what others want me to be
- I finished the D'ni lesson package. I fully understand the grammatical rules and can translate sentences :D just some more practicing and I'll be able to speak it easily :3 oh and gotta learn words.
- The game I am supposed to make the soundtrack got put on hold because nobody on the team (me excluded) had any time right now to work on it (exams etc). Why is that good? Well, I don't have to worry about stuff anymore.
- I had more snugglecuddle with le girlfriend :3
