Wonder if that could improve my typing too... Actually what would improve it is if I could use more than two fingers on each hand.
Ah, you're making me nostalgic for when I was in band. I do still miss it sometimes and wish I hadn't had to give up saxophone. Especially since my stint in Jazz band was cut short. Le sigh...
The question is, will your friends view your taking the part as presumptuous, or do you even care? Personally, I'd jump on it (if it hasn't been claimed by now XP). Every opportunity I get to play violin with a group I pounce on. We musicians thrive on interaction.
As for my earlier statement regarding female vocalists and by extension Nightwish...I was naive. (this is rare for me, admitting my faults, so you'd better appreciate it)

Ha! And I found you Sir Allamorph! ^_^ Imagine my surprise to wander from OtakuBoards to here, to sign up, look at the front page and booyah! There your name was in the podcast comments. XD I just had to look to see if it was the same person. Whee!
And such an introduction! Creator of universes, student of Free thought! (hurray for free thought!) Defender of truth… and music is my emotion! Hehe. So you take tips do you? :p Well then, I know just the thing! One of my favorite music quotes… >_> Though I’m sure you’ve heard it before:
A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~Leopold Stokowski
Anyway, on to the post! Lets see… I have an ergonomic keyboard, it takes a little getting use to but it’s very nice once you do, and setting the keyboard in your lap? I’m thinking it would be a little more natural for the placement of your hands and arms. So I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
Oh what a fun random message! XD Your professor sounds like fun! First come, first served! XD
>_> Uh… I am not addicted to Nightwish! *is so lying* :p
I saw that fight sequence you posted. o_O Goodness, that was a rather intense 4.4 seconds.
Anyway, I added you to the subscription thingamabob so I can visit your world as it were. Hehe. The idea of creating a world just for people to be able to visit you... That just makes me laugh. XD Anyway, catch you later Sir Allamorph. ^_^
And here I never thought about where my keyboard is. :p It’s just there. Not on my lap though. I should try that sometime to see what it’s like. >_> Aaryanna would probably object though, she likes to sit in the chair right next to me and often arranges herself so her head is partially in my lap. She would get so offended if I suddenly had a keyboard there. lol
Oh! Concert stuff sounds like fun, you definitely don’t want to miss out on that. ^_^
As for Nightwish… bah! I already liked them. Back when Beth got Dark Passion Play last year… though I’m always open to more by them. Their music is great. Besides, Utah needs a good addiction. Seriously. :p
I saw that over at OB, the writing. I’d be interested in seeing the rest of that death match. o_O
Anyway, later!
~*Aaryanna*~
P.S. Someguy thought you were a girl? *dies laughing* Tee hee! ^_^
I saw that short. ^_^ It was a fun read. And yes those of us in Utah are addicted to Nightwish, they're a great group after all. I really love the Dark Passion Play album myself. I love how the instrumental of The Poet and the Pendulum sounds like some dramatic music from an action film. And the Cello solo is beautiful.
Hahaha, SomeGuy thought you were a girl. *laughs wildly* Oh that's just too funny! Hehehe! ^_^ Allamorph is most definitely a guy. :p
I like my keyboard there as well, my desk has one of those lower shelves just for a keyboard that pulls out.
Oh that message from your professor, fun, I’d definitely jump at the chance to be part of the last concert for the semester. I already had my last one last week. XP And yes, even if you’re not performing/playing tis always fun. :) We have a Virtuoso Series for Cello coming up next week that I’ll be attending.
I noticed that you got Crystia going on Nightwish. lol I was already into the music on account of learning about it last year and ordering the import to get the instrumental disk for Dark Passion Play. :p Good stuff that.
Ah, I was just reading that over at the Anthology. It’s a nice short segment.
Also, good luck having things switched over in time to avoid frying. Before long we’ll be doing the same. Goodbye cold weather, I know I won’t miss it.

Yes, Nightwish is an awesome group.
Nana is a big PC gamer so the wasd key set is fine for her. But as far as Starfox and Golden Eye, Nana thinks it's a given that one must learn the controls. Now and days most games have the choice to switch the invert off. Which Nana does.
A/C... Something Nana has yet to need since it'sstill snowing where she is.
I dunno if you missed the general memo, but as has been hashed out before, I am male.
Also, those are other guys in the studio. Technically you could call us friends, but "coworkers" would be more true-to-life. We get along fine, and crack jokes back and forth, but we don't hang out a lot.
You play trombone? Nice! Ummm . . . I dunno, if you wanna, then by all means go for it - if the others wanna, then you can fight for it and if they're chosen then you can work from there.
And zomg, personal information alert! Alla's friends are named Ryan and Will! We can stalk her through them now!!!
I DEFINITELY played Goldeneye inverted. Just sayin'.

When I first played Star Fox 64 my friend had the y-axis uninverted and I hated it until I switched to inverted. GoldenEye and Perfect Dark never gave me any trouble though since I was using the C buttons to aim and not an analog stick. Basically, if I'm using a joystick or piloting an aircraft I need it inverted but otherwise I can adapt easily.
Myself, I hardly have any standard resting position while typing. I just sort of know how far to move my fingers for each key, judging from my pinkies on the Shift keys. The downside is that when I use a different keyboard it makes it a little harder to type without making mistakes.
WASD + mouselook beats the crap out of dual analog, by the way.

My desk has a pull out little shelf that fits right above your lap. So that’s what I use when I type, though I don’t look at the keyboard. As for the PC gamers and y-axis… can’t say that I run into that very often, I don’t play enough games that it comes up.
I love that message from your professor, the ‘man with the horn.’ First come ,first served. lol That just makes me laugh. Heh. And ye gods! You sound like Rach when he gets too far between performances, that… I miss it spiel since it’s just that addicting it seems. :p
As for Nightwish… it’s an addiction I accept willingly. Good lord do I love their music.
I rather like that short, the wording and visual is so easy to see. I love reading action sequences that don’t require reading them twice in order to get what’s going on. It just fit. Which was cool in my opinion.
Heh, the A/C switch. That’s not up to me but my landlady… but since I’m in the basement, even if she holds off it’s rare for me to got hot since she always switches over from heat to A/C before it’s truly hot.

I play quite a bit of PC games, so I'm used to the controls. But Starfox 64? YES!!! TOTALLY!! That was such a sweet game...
I'd rather see in shades of gray.

I can never type with the keyboard in my lap. So very awkward. I need wrist support, gashsplurnit.
Oooh, I did not know you could play an instrument, let alone had played in orchestras before. How very interesting. :P
And yes, I fail at comments.
