Getting cavities filled? I probably know the answer for everybody in the world already

I have not experienced one. Seems like it could be fun though. As long as the trumpet guy actually packs his trumpet, and doesn't play it the whole drive. @_@

Nothing say "I'll remember this forever" like someone playing a trumpet in your ear for 8 hours. -_-

True that. I joined the symphonic band at Lone Star because in order to take private lessons, you must be involved in some sort of music group. I will be playing percussion although I have never touched a drum in my life. I found out that the band director does this regularly. Even last night (first band practice), they were playing a piece and the band director said, "okay guys, we need an oboe player. Anyone want to volunteer? The positions are similar to saxophone," and one guy was like, "uh... sure I'll try it out." I think it will be a lot of fun. We are going to be taking a trip to some sort of convention this semester and I'm not sure if we're playing there or not.

Red/Breaking Benjamin mashup?

I'm actually not that bothered by it...usually, by the time I go and get a cavity filled, the tooth has been hurting me to an extent that whatever pain I endure from el doctor is actually less than what I've dealt with on a daily basis.

That said, getting a tooth drilled isn't what I'd file under fun, either. Most days.

Red/Breaking Benjamin mashup?

Nice. XD That sounds like a really cool band director. It's interesting that you have to be involved in a music program to get private lessons, though.

The mash-up was amazing. O_o Though I liked the Red song by itself; I need one of their CD's. They is good musics. <3

My cavities are terrible. They never hurt to begin with, but they hurt while they're getting worked on

Favorite Zelda game?

So if I were to give you two story ideas, would you be willing to comment on which ones you find most interesting?

I've been exploring mash-ups for the past couple of days and some of the ones that pop-up are really cool. That was one of them.

22x22 Rubik's Cube?

Cavities are like angry demon dragons; you take care of them when they're young so they don't grow into mind-breaking, I-can't-breath hurt later...I've reached that stage before. That said, I firmly believe tooth pain is the worst you can experience, so even going to the dentist for repair isn't an easy solution...pleh. Bad times all around. -_-

That's tricky. I like OOT, of course, and Majora's mask...but I think it would be one of the 2D iterations, Link's Awakening. That game, to me, struck the perfect balance between fun and clever. It's not impossible like the original, but the puzzles are much more developed. Story's entertaining too.

That said, I haven't played any of the new ones. -_- I'd like to go through Twilight Princess again too, as I remember good things about that game.

Spoiler:

The first is a cyberpunk crime thriller set about a hundred years from now. It follows a group of hacktivists (Name not set in stone) that attempt to uncover evidence of a political conspiracy after a senator is assassinated. It includes cyborgs, implants, and themes of censorship.

Spoiler:

The second is a first-person, fantasy story. An imperial wizard (Known as an inquisitor) is sent to another continent to sniff out the suppliers of a terrorist faction, and ends up on an Oregon Trail-esque adventure across the continent. This is based on a D&D campaign I played.

Of course. ^_^ Both are interesting, but since I'm much more a fan of fantasy than Cyberpunk, I lean towards the second. I also like the ideas behind it; exploration, mystery. I think it would be a lot of fun to sort of 'discover' the new continent through the inquisitors eyes, and you've also got a good backbone with having him tracking someone. Inquisitor sounds awesome, too, I won't lie.

I like the idea of the first one, and I would read it; it's just not my typical genre. I think that one might be more...poignant I guess. Since it would carry themes from the real world.

22x22 Rubik's Cube?

*shudders*

I can't even do a 9x9 Rubiks. I spent a few months trying when I was younger, and gave up the pursuit when it drove me crazy. I can't even imagine a 22x22. Why would someone even invent that? XD

Ocarina is my favorite out of the 3 games I played.

Chocolate, Vanilla, or Strawberry Milk?

Chic-Fil-A, McDonald's, or Burger King? Only options, no thinking outside the box and choosing Taco Bell or Arby's or something like that.

It's a great game. I haven't played it in a long time, but I think I teared up at the end.

Probably...probably, mind you...I would go with chocolate. I do love strawberry milk, but it can have a weird after taste. Haven't tried vanilla milk, actually. I bet it would be like drinking ice cream. <3

It really depends on the day. I adore Chik-Fil-a, but they put MSG in all their foodstuffs, so members of my family cannot eat there. If I was by myself, I would be more tempted to eat there than if I was with my family.

I think probably McDonalds; their food is amazing, and pretty much anyone can get something tasty there. It's a good all around eating place.

Plus, their Mcnuggets are all the flame and all the glory. <3

Idea number 1 is my NaNo novel that I'm waiting to edit. Idea number 2 is currently being written. I've even outlined some ideas for sequels, up to five books, all based on D&D campaigns.

Do you remember me ever sending you any writing before? I feel like I have, but it was so long ago that my memory is kind of crap about it.

Cool! ^_^ Since I finished mine, I've taken the less productive route of playing Destiny instead of writing all night. XD

I think you have...but I couldn't tell you for certain either. It does feel like it.

Extreme Rubik's Cubing. Sounds... extreme.

Farting drums?

That's one of those gifts you shove in the back of your closet and never think about again.

The rubiks; not the drums. Those could be interesting. Is it a drum set which farts, or flatulence used in place of drums?

The first would just be wildly hilarious. Best musical instrument ever, I feel. Smells like teen spirit, indeed. Especially if it was an electronic drum set with all the samples replaced without telling anyone.

The second...painful, but also wildly hilarious. Without lurid detail, you can achieve some nice percussive sounds with the use of a solid wood floor or metal barrel applied to one's backside. The backfire will hurt like the blazes, though. >_>
