Apparently, he missed it.

Noble Elf Lord · 08-25-2010, 01:26 AM

Drunk, was he?

**Mari** · 08-25-2010, 05:23 AM

No, apparently it really was suicide. The news article in Dutch didn't mention a lot of people having seen it, so I doubt there were many people around in the first place. It was the second death at that festival by the way, earlier the father of a drummer of a band (different band) had a heart attack on the premises.

***Earniel*** · 08-25-2010, 06:22 AM

So far they think that an accident with stage diving earlier, in which a fan was heavily injured, may have led to the suicide. It sure was a dramatic Pukkelpop festival this year.

***Tessar*** · 08-25-2010, 09:14 AM

Gack, first day of school as a business major. Lets see if I can hack it.

I'm nervous and excited... for the last three years I've had classes with teachers that I've seen every day for years, in the same classrooms, and with lots of constants like choir, music theory, my voice teacher, concert attendance, etc.

Now it's all weird and stuff. O_o Wish me luck!

But seriously. Yall be weird.

I like scruffy. My hubby is scruffy

GrayMouser · 08-28-2010, 02:38 AM

I think this was a look originally popularised by Don Johnson in Miami Vice.
IIRC there were electric shavers for sale that could give you that three-day stubble look.

Have some luck from me as well!

(edit - that was to Tessar)

**Mari** · 08-25-2010, 12:25 PM

Have fun! I'm sure it will go well

I've started the past 5 years of my education with new things, so I can't really relate to knowing everyone well. Just talk about how hard it was to find the classroom or something, or wonder about how the lesson is going to be. Everyone feels the same, so it's a good topic.

Gwaimir Windgem · 08-25-2010, 02:09 PM

See above; luck floating in your direction.

***Tessar*** · 08-25-2010, 06:41 PM

Thanks guys. Today went well

.

It was weirdly emotional to hand in my locker key (music majors can sign up for a locker, and I've had one for about a year and a half now). I didn't want to. It's not because I was attached to the locker, it just seemed really strangely symbolic. O_o Like handing in my key to the 'family' building or something.

Other than that, it was a little strange to be in my classes that are not core curriculum and not recognize anyone. I chit-chatted with a couple of people, and it's always nice to make new acquaintances, but it was definitely strange to not have -any- classes where I knew someone.

Ironically it made me completely appreciate the opera rehearsal, because it felt like "home" to be doing something musical. I think I'm going to actually be pretty dang grateful for the daily rehearsals now, which I was dreading.

Gwaimir Windgem · 08-26-2010, 01:39 AM

I love the feel of cool silk on my skin, and I really miss it, since my dry cleaners have killed all my silk shirts!

**Mari** · 08-26-2010, 01:13 PM

Will they compensate you for it at least? You can buy new ones with that?

Tessar, that's good to hear

Just think of it this way: knowing fewer people means more opportunities to get to know new people.

Gwaimir Windgem · 08-26-2010, 02:42 PM

I got them at second hand stores for a couple of dollars, so it wouldn't really be fair to ask them. It's just a matter of the
search to find a decent replacement second-hand. I certainly couldn't afford them new!

Weeellllllll, I don't know if it matters how much you paid for them; after all, what if you didn't pay anything? (IOW, they were gifts). If the dry cleaners were at fault, I think that they should replace the shirts.

It's like when my daughter borrowed my nephew's old, cracked iTouch when we went to Hawaii - he offered last-minute to let her borrow it for the plane trips, and I forgot about it (and thus forgot to keep track of it) and it got lost on one of the planes. Although it was old and cracked, still, it was our responsibility, so I bought him a new one.
