A. met a girl, got into a very deep friendship and a relation started(thats what I wanted) and suddenly she dropped me into the status of the best friend
q:you?
q:you?
A: after breaking up with a guy, my best friend started going out with him and his friends (who were my friends until I introduced them to her). We had a fight, I still talk to my ex, not to my exbest friend or those "friends". Another good one would be a guy I was friends with but started stalking me, and then made up lies about me to my ex.
Q: ever been stalked?

A: I distrust reviewers. There's certainly something in it for them and I don't take any interest to them or their reviews since after some high-profile journalist/album reviewer wrote how great and wonderful St. Anger was-3 months before the album was officially released. There's also the fact that they want to put their opinions in your head... as if you're too dumb to critique an album. Sleezy way to get free CDs.

A : Whatever, for me a new year is a reason to celebrate and well that's about it. I know that the calendar is nothing more than an invention of man in order to "classify" our history and quantify time so a new year is simply a theory...

Well, to me, a review definitely does not imply you're too dumb to make your own mind, rather, it's like asking a friend what a movie/book/cd was like. It's a recommendation, and you're free to agree or disagree, as it's a matter of taste. Plus in most cases, you know what your friend/reviewer tends to like, so you know whether it's likely you'll agree or not.
And I don't think that it's just a sleazy way to get free cds. If it's a small zine, then reviewers tend to be honest since they enjoy what they do (it's not like you get paid in most cases, it's a hobby). Most of the cds I reviewed, I didn't even get a promo. Usually reviews were of unsigned local bands. It's publicity for them, and feedback.
And if it's a big important magazine, then most likely free cds are not reviewer's motivation, more like a paycheck. And again, it's publicity for the band. Imo, reviews aren't that horrible.

A: Maybe becouse that would be the only way to get a descent paying job and survive!!?
Q: what is your most prized possesion?

Aplintus: Because sometimes you take a course and then you realise it's not what you thought it'd be like, but your only choice is to get to the end of it. Some other times you're forced to study something that's not your first choice and that you don't like very much, because of the stupid system. In my case, i went through a long period of doubting the choice i made, but now i'm happy with it.
ACuthalion: anything with emotional value. there's a couple of special things popping up in mind, but i wouldn't like to mention them here.
Q: How can you beat the system?
