OcarinaTycoon, your design differs from Terry Riley's because it is a true left handed ocarina. TR's replica is played like a right handed one despite the way it looks (discussed in Moonsyne's thread).

At least the way I'm looking at it based on the finger hole size.

Gloat: I get my life back in three weeks! And therefore new vids, sheetmusic, and story updates!
Cry: I have so much crap to trudge through in the next three weeks. My best friend put it as "school is destroying you". Plus I think everyone's forgotten about my sheetmusic pile and story by now.

Cry: A big welling of depression has come back from years ago because someone from a local town passed away just this week from injuries when he was robbed the week previous. He was in his mid-90's and will be greatly missed. Such a nice man and a great cook to boot. :(

Well...Basically I'm too old for her...I'm 17 and she is 13....But I can't control who I get crushes on--And I didn't know her exact age until after I had a crush on her anyway....And we kept talking and her parents found out...

EDIT::: And Admins and mods--WHoever gets reports---PLEASE forgive me for accidentally clicking report twice instead of quote!!! :( SecretTacoNinja did NOTHING WRONG!!!! I just made a mistake...

Well.....Yeah, I completely understand her parents.....Though they basically imprisoned her for punishment over what happened and I'm worried about her....Well......My ex...she was my fiancee......We were planning our lives together....and within a week or two it all fell apart again and we broke up...Her decision.....VERY crushing...However, she told me she still wants to be best friends...And I am happy about that...But still very depressed that we aren't more anymore...There is a chance for us again sometime in the future....Bot only God knows when that will be or what will happen in between times....

i wonder if you can still leap in front of the bullet so to speak and let the parents know that their daughter was not the only one at fault, perhaps shorten her "jail term"?

Well....I don't know----My mom has a good plan.....My mom is going to print out the emails we exchanged, then call her parents sometime and set up a meeting time and place to discuss things and let them meet me so they can find out I'm not how they think I am.....I'm really nervous, but kinda excited too....I hope we can get this done ASAP and hopefully it will help...

I've had a fever since Thursday. It peaked at 102.4 degrees F. But it's down to around 99 now.

I think it was caused from pushing myself too hard and not getting enough sleep. Also, not giving myself enough time to get ready in the morning, forcing me to sprint 1/3 (estimated distance) of a mile to catch the bus without getting to eat breakfast until later.

Ah so it's a guy you made friends with in work? ;) Is your boyf getting jealous?

I have a similar prob- most of my best friends are guys, and there's a guy in my class called Pete, we hang out all the time. His fiancee lives in San Francisco (she's coming over in Jan) and for a good while she *wasn't* happy about me at all! Hehe but he cleared it up, he told her I have a boyfriend (Sajles) who's American too, so now she thinks I rock! Hehe! A bit weird but hey... :)

*gloat*
Things are going pretty well with him, he's a sweetie! :D But I haven't been making it to his swing dance classes for the last several weeks (TONNES of homework) and he's a bit sad about that.

*not really a cry...more a weird thing*
There's a girl who's stalking him who goes to the classes, and if I'm not there she tries to grab him all the time.... *creepy* She phones him about 20 times a day, he always cuts the calls but she won't stop. Should I give her a stern 'talk'? :/ I don't like the 'stay away from my boyf' routine, I'm not the jealous type in the slightest, but she's even writing him creepy love letters! EEEUUUUUWWWW!!!!!

yes, he is jealous... VERY.

and as for your "wierd" if you, or more importaintly HE requests her behavoir to cease, and this girl does not, it is a criminal offense, and you should for everyones safety report it to the police.
a lot of sociopaths start out this way, and dangerous people. maybe she just needs a bit of help now to curb what may one day become a very serious problem.

EDIT: we are very strict on phone "abuse and stalking" in australia, so i've had to do the same thing before.

Gloat: My girlfriend's going into the Navy.

She's leaving next week, the day before my b-day, to her dad's house for a couple of weeks, then she flies to boot camp. I hope she does well.

Cry: She can't join unless she passes the pre-military test and removes her neck tattoo. This will be a while, and she's already quit her job. Now, she's out of a job and she'll be out of money soon. She won't be able to pay her bills unless she gets a job. Then she'll ruin her credit for 7 years. Ugh, why does nothing ever go as planned?

EDIT: Nevermind, she's getting kicked out to go to her Dad's in AZ. She may leave in the next week or so and talk to the Navy Recruiters from there and take her test ASVAB down in AZ. Kinda depressing, but oh well. Stuff like this happens.

Eeep! Jealous boyfriends NOT good. Does he get like this with all your male friends? Jealousy only drives people away, he needs to learn to control it while he's still young.

If you friend has a girlfriend, be sure to say to your boyf. I had a boyf once who got jealous all the time, he would keep asking "do you fancy (insert guy name)?" , my reply would be "No of course not! That's be weird, he's a mate ! It'd be like going out with my brother of something!" :D Which is true! It's a good line ;)

As for the pyscho stalker, he's kind of caught in a rock and hard place, since he's trying to build up numbers for the dance classes, and she turns up every week, plus brings friends. Dang. If he tells her to leave him alone that's 5 people less at classes, who would then go to rival classes. What a dilemma! Although if she gets much worse he's probably going to block her from calling his mobile phone.

at least you have that option


MASSIVE CRY: i think my 5 year relationship is falling apart, he is just not sharing with me, or acting like i am there, which may mean he has realized he wants someone else.

mild comfort: my new workmate has sat me down, and let me talk myself out.

@bluebell--Be wary, mate, but please DON'T think on it TOO much---because you can overanalyze....Sometimes you just need to step back and observe--I know from experience that if you think about it too much and let yourself fall apart.....Quite often, that can make things worse....So just be careful and give it some time, mate. And please, whatever happens, don't let ANYTHING put out the flame of your passion. Just do your best to take it easy---It could all be ok. It will work out until you'll be able to talk to him directly about it if he doesn't come to you first.

*uncontrollable cry* my BF came to me, to tell me that he had feelings for another girl, but didnt want to break off our relationship (for a very long list of reasons) and that he had refused this girl, who had made a pass at him.
i think perhaps i could almost live with that.....
but i found out he had originally initiated a relationship with her with romantic intentions, and i dont think he has ceased that relationship. he doesnt know i know.
i have to end it.... but its been 5 years. im not even 20. i dont know how to survive alone. we live together.....
just letting you all know, so if i stop posting, or my post quality goes down, i am still around.... im just not talkative.

:'(

(and to top it off, ive had no sleep for past 2 days, have been working like mad. almost couldn't finish my shift last night.)

Oh no!! I am so sorry mate!! However, though this may come as little to no comfort (I would know from experience), if he is going to be that way--And decides he wants someone else more than you, that and what you just said he had already done, he does NOT deserve you! I am so sorry! However---if you end it, make sure you have friends around for support!! You will need them. You seem to me to be a wonderful person, so I feel you do or at least should have many friends to help you through this! Please never give up your passion! I don't mean relationship-wise, I just mean your passion for life---Always keep it, because things will always work out for the best in the end! I feel I assume correctly and speak for most of us here at TON when I say that we are here for you!!!! (For the rest of the TONians, forgive me if speaking for us in that manner was wrong).

I cry. A lot.
And bleed. Still.

I have had my first ocarina related injury. The neck strap for my STL modified 9 hole was horriblely twisted, and as I was trying to straighten it, the hole broke off, swung around on the neckstrap, ... and imbedded in my knuckle! I had to pull it out. I also recieved a cut on my chest. It hurts.

Then I cry that my ocarina is broken. It is only cosmetic ... but :((
