  1. I came on here to talk about the game...by "death of the game", do you mean we're killing it? I'm so confused! Anyway, I'm not in school today Costal, and I have a bunch of stuff for the press kits. I'm not sure what to do, but I just wanted to give you a heads up. See ya Monday!

  6. thanks xander, as if i didnt feel bad enough already :) anyway, i agree with cass- the who are wayyyyy better than the beatles.
    though cass, i think the police are up their with the who. I hope that they don't butcher twilight. the books are great- but you know how people can take one thing, turn into another, and in the process destroy it.

  7. woahh... i don't even think the who and the police should ever be compared.. they're both from such different time periods (at least a whole decade apart!--at least when the who were...the Who (when keith moon was still their drummer)) and are under totally different categories of rock! don't get me wrong, i'll always share my love for sting, but my love from the police resides in a totally seperate part of my heart than the Who.

  8. true, true, i didnt take in the different eras haha theres so many different genres that half the time i just don't bother with that aspect! if you really think about it when you take into account the different types of rock, it can get kind of confusing,lol
