......Who are they? I feel that additional research is necessary.

Again with the Phil Lesh! I wonder how many people remember that anyways... Someday sir, someday. I'm sure I'll make it to California at some point.

When I turn 21, I'm headin' your way!

Ah, a week is certainly bearable. Especially if you'll be off having fun. And I'm sure I'll find some time, haha. I don't really post that much anyways, so it shouldn't be too much of a change.

I'm kind of excited, actually, which is good. A little intimidated at the same time. But I also know what you mean. I still need a job though.

Ah, why's that? More studies? I was beginning to wonder if you'd ever come back. School starts for me soon, and apparently this year is going to be a pretty heavy work load. So. I probably won't be around much either.

You too! (I added another 'really' in that last post, if you didn't catch it ) How've you been? Enjoying summer I hope! I know I am.

Ingaaaa! Nice to see you again. Your hair is beautiful! Really really great pics.

Aw Bustle, you're a cutie! Also, the edge is rather square, whereas strats are much more rounded in that aspect. And I spy a jack on the edge as well, as opposed to a jack on the front of the guitar. Amazing, the details you notice when you have experience.

Glasses don't necessarily make people less attractive. I actually usually think they're quite cute.

I really don't think it's that much of a problem. I know a lot of people have it out for spats or whatever, but come on...it's not like he was like "Cool picture, this is why I'm better " I'll admit, it was more of a comment than a compliment, but since when was there anything wrong with that?

Welcome! You look very pretty. Lucy, awesome shirt!

Another.

From my band's show last night, it went great! Such a good time. First show with my new guitar too. Oooh yeah, I felt freakin' powerful behind that thing! I'm serious. (I'm the blond one on the left.)

Maureen, you are quite the beauty. Eviljane, you are pretty too! Sweet bench. I have lots of family in Akron. By the way, you look A LOT like Kissandra, do you know her? I haven't seen her online in quite a while... Ricky smiles! I like it.

Damn...I'm usually crazy about a nice hourglass shape, but that's almost too much.

*Long, drawn out gasp* I LOVE BROWNIES. I remember that brownie thread on the old forum...the one poll that asked if brownies were cake or cookie. Brownies are neither: they are brownies, and they deserve their own category. Here's a picture, Inga. They are DELICIOUS, trust me. Especially for a chocolate lover like you.

Aha! I had completely forgotten about that, thanks for reminding me. Aww, that makes me miss Mona. She used to always call me Dudkins.

Cool av, Manders.

Nice to see you here, Little Miss. Matt, I like your son's outfit. And Noora, you are beautiful! I dig the necklace. Being pale is fine, I am too. It's only the beginning of summer, so nobody here is really tan yet.

I'll try and check it out, thanks. I agree with you completely. I grew up going into the big box stores; I've only ventured into our single indie store in the past year or so. So I am very used to the "big box" approach, and I'm not afraid to agree that that's probably my deal.

I guess I'm used to people asking if I need help, sure, but I do think the people at my indie shop are not too awesome. Maybe it's just me, but they always come off as pompous whenever I'm in there. I'm pretty much never looking for something specific, especially when I go into the indie store. 90% of the time I buy music it's something I just happen to spot. And personally...indie store or not, I expect music to be organized. That really puts me off. I like to check and see what they have by my favorite artists, but in their vinyl section, it's impossible for both me and the workers to make any sense of where anything would be. And I'm not going to pester a worker and make them find every artist I'm looking for. If I did ask, I'm sure I'd get a "Oh, you'll just have to dig around a bit." Anyways, whenever I am looking for something specific, it's something brand new. And whenever I buy something brand new, I almost always preorder/order online, and I'm fine with that. Just means this small guy in particular gets less of my business.

Yeah, that sounds good...I think my indie store just sucks. All they do is sit behind the counter, nobody ever asks if I need help or anything, and the place is almost always empty. The employees are knowledgeable, but lazy. On top of that, the vinyl section is generous, but it's only organized by genre...no alphabetizing whatsoever! If you're looking for something specific in there, good luck! Vinyls are always a couple dollars more expensive there than on the internet, but if I find something I want I'll get it. Beats waiting for it to ship here.
