Welcome to the Disc!
*grins sheepishly* Uh, sorta, kinda deleted the other one. Oopsies! I'm tired and I was trying to change something at our other forum and well, yeah. (I don't want to hear anything from you Grim!)
But anyway, all new people- Welcome to The Magic of Discworld. The forums are divided by character groups and then there are the guilds. You have to join a guild (see clacks tower) to gain entry to it and you can only be a member in one guild. I think that's about it. I feel really stupid for deleting the original forum here....

Thanks, thanks a bunch. I'm only human, I make mistakes (so I make quite a few, maybe I'm just very human). I fixed it! kinda, sorta, so lost everything in here before at least it's not one of the main forums.
Re: Welcome to the Disc!
I've done things like that, myself, when fiddling with the board I've run. Deleted threads that shouldn't have been deleted... Oops. ^.^

Ummmm.... whats happened to the colouring on here? I go away for a couple of weeks (enforced internet abscence due to AOL/XP clashes <sigh>), and I can't read the posts! Is it my computer, or something gone wrong here?

Re: Welcome to the Disc!
er, I haven't changed anything. Is it in a particular forum, or evrywhere? I'm sorry, but I'm too lazy to check everything. It's been a long week and I still haven't studied for my tests tommorow (adv Bio and AP Art history)... that can't be good.

<sigh> I set this up to email me when someone replies... doesn't work! Grrrr!
I think the problem is possibly with my computer - I know the monitor is a little old and wobbly. I can read the light green bits, but can only read the dark green replies if I highlight them. Ah well, I'll cope! :-)

Re: Welcome to the Disc!
I sure didn't do anything either.
Sorry we've been not around at all. I am gone every night from 5 to 11 for the next week and have no time to do homework, much less go online. I cannot WAIT to be unbusy. Not like it'll last, tho! *sigh* Oh well...I have to do my math. I really am BAD at related rates...I really do hate math. I never ever want to get any higher for fear my breain won't be able to handle it.
SPF- Aren't you glad Bio's EVIL bug project is over. That was starting to control my life. But, right now, I am controlled by the sadistic band teacher who looks like a beaver and directs like a third-grader. I'm playing for the musical in the pit and WOW is he a...a...I can't even think of anything strong enough. If any of you know something about music, well, he can't direct and he doesn't give us the downbeats so we never know what measure he's on! And then he yells at us. I DETEST HIM. He has apparently decided not to let us know when the vamps end so we're all a couple measures off. AHHH!!
Ahem. Sorry, really had to vent. I really hate that man...If anyone deserves to be eaten by the Luggage...

Yeah, I'm a music guy too. I play a twisted hunk of metal known as a Euphonium (Bb) I can't really appreciate what you're saying though, 'cos both of my conductors are really, REALLY good at conducting. Just a matter of perspective.
Side note: Never been in an orchestra pit. I prefer to be on the stage, in that kind of scene. Everyone else prefers me there too
Contrary to popular belief, I don't think that the luggage is the worst thing that could happen to someone. He only kills you. Give the guy to Vorbis.

Re: Bandsman, as well as thief
I like the sound of euphoniums. We have two in our band and they're...well, they try. I hear it's not the easiest thing to play. Mr. Loughney really IS bad. I mean, it would be okay if he listened to people and actually knew my name and what grade I'm in. He's been here...oh...almost two years and he STILL isn't sure what my name is (he called me Jessie the other day. Then he called me Beth. He's getting closer) or what grade I am in. He is HOPELESS. He deserves to be tortured forever...maybe read Vogon poetry for the rest of his life.

Plan A had worked. Plan B had failed. Everything depended on Plan C, and there was only one drawback to this: he had only ever planned as far as B.

Re: Bandsman, as well as thief
for completeness i feel i should mention i'm a cellist.
I've known good conductors and bad conductors.
The very worst i had was when I appeared in a film (the harpist, an extremely minor motion picture which I got two days off school and £40 a day to appear in.) I think his only musical qualifications were that he had once seen a violin. The (quite small) orchestra decided to ignore him and follow the leader instead. I think they dubbed over our playing with a professional orchestra, anyway.

Re: Bandsman, as well as thief
My brother plays the cello..he started when he was three (or was it before then?) and he's quite good. My mom is a music teacher so she plays all of the string instruments and forces music on all of us. My 5 yr old bro has been playing the violin for two years. Then there's me who quite piano after eight years and am not quite so great at the clarinet.
The Harpist? How very exciting...I think. It must have been, in the least, a little bit of fun. Did you ever buy the movie?

And then there's me who can't read music, avoided any remotely mucical class and was out of art classes to take at my school after sophmore year. I've had really bad art teachers though, but I guess that really doesn't have anything to do with anyhting else does it?

Talents...what are those again?
Well. I can't draw. I also can't paint. I can't even write neatly. And I certainly can't do any sculptures like you can, SPF. I just...write and...sing a little. A very little--only when I am forced to.

ah well..
Could say I come from a musical family, almost.. My mother teaches music at a primary school, my second eldest sister is currently taking a four-year course in performance violin at Victoria University, hoping to get to the NZSO, my eldest sister is a really good alto, but gave it up to be an artist (she's good at that, too)
On the flipside of that, there's my youngest sister, who once picked up a clarinet and has done nothing music-related since, and my father, who doesn't know which way up a CD goes.
And then there's me, Grade 5 Euphonium, playing it because, on my first day of high school, my conductor-to-be saw me and shouted out "Ooh, euphonium lips!" I was a trumpet player before that. Not a tough transition. Euphonium ended up being easier to play, in any case. I guess he knew what he was talking about, when he saw my lips.

It was somewhat exciting. I haven't heard of the film since it was filmed... I'm not even sure if it was in English as no-one spoke in our scene and lots of people seemed to speak foreign.
bad handwriting... i'm a mathematician, don't even arsk me about my handwriting
euphonium lips... I know aomeone who plays one of them who has the nickname kipper[1]-lips. I guess Euphonists have distinctive lips.

[1] I'm not sure how well this word travels, so for those of you who don't know, a kipper is a smoked herring often found on the isle of man

Your dad has bad handwriting? My dad should be a doctor, I can't even begin to read it!
I knew what a kipper was too, surprise surprise. We aren't quite as stupid as most- I still can't believe that some americans think the 2 countries that border the US are Alaska and Hawaii. *shakes head sadly* No wonder Americans get a bad rap.

Re: Bandsman, as well as thiefThat's because most of them are quite stupid. Myself included...very rarely, of course. (HA!)
Also, why don't American's have any appreciation for sci-fi or fantasy? It seems to me that they're (Americans) boring. I refused to see Minority Report b/c everyone said it was so bad...then I saw it and couldn't understand what was 'so bad' about it. Okay, so I guessed quite a bit of what was going to happen and I don't like Tom Cruise much, but I guess I thought it was neat...but it could just be me...*sigh*
