I absolutely hated the idea of wearing jeans.

Now I wear black jeans. :p
Me too. Though I switched at about 10, so I guess it's easier to blame it on the "your brain is still forming from mush" thing about being a child. More recently I'd say wearing a cap all the time, as I seem to be doing so and never though I was one of the guys that do that.

In 8th grade, me and two of my friends used to gang up on a girl in our class.

And now I hate myself for it...

I changed my "no jeans" mentality only a couple of years back, when I was 18 or 19. I'll never ever wear blue jeans though.
I did wear blue jeans for a while, when I first started wearing jeans, but only because I had to for my job. I soon made the switch to black jeans and preferred them since.

I used to sleep in the most awkward positions, E.G: I woke up when I was 10 to my legs up against the wall and my back laying on the pillow, It really did sort out my back though.
I also used to get really angry over anything, now I just don't care, I take anything insulting as a joke and laugh it off, I guess my personality has extremely docile ever since I had left school.

I used to be a guy that was easy to pussywhip and hated all music. Now I listen to all kind of music (mostly metal) and have a better personality.

I've changed quite a bit since I was a wee little baby.

Most noticable is probably that I went from very religious to atheist in a very short time, and the personality change that came with that. The personality change wasn't intentional really, but people have been telling me that I've been acting way nicer to my friends while being more open about my dislike for others. I've become quite eloquent since then, which has brought me quite a bit of respect from my fellow peers.

I started to put my own desires in front of what others expected of me after my "change", too. I dyed my hair black despite protests from my family and certain friends. My mind is way more open to new and interesting things.

Myself, I couldn't be happier at who am I right now. I feel like for once I can be myself. This has lead to quite a few things, like my ocassional moments of utter silliness, like going dressed as Santa to my high school final exams, which were during summertime.

And to think all this was caused by one single person at my confirmation. I should send her a thank you-card really.

As for smaller things, my musical taste has changed quite a lot over the years, going from pop to rap to metal to orchestral. Now I listen to everything that I find is good music, whatever that might be. I recently discovered, thanks to the Mass Effect 2 launch trailer, a symphonic orchestra called Two Steps From Hell that make absolutley stunning music.

When I was young I heard some death metal and wondered how anyone could listen to, let alone like that. Yet here I am in my Cradle of Filth shirt...
exactly. also I play it too, which is completes the transformation
I wish I had a Death shirt. If only there was a good merchandise store in Perth.

No point because of two things:
-I'm not old enough to own a credit card
-My parents won't let me use theirs to buy stuff on the internet since they're from another generation. (1950's)

D...d...di...did that spawn from jazz?!
Sure, the freeform jazz of the mid 60s was a definite influence on Grindcore, along with the emphasis on speed.

In fact, one Jazz muso, John Zorn, combined Jazz and Grindcore, to interesting effect.


Bill Frissel on guitar, interestingly enough.
Haha, the audience are like 'WTF??'

I just call it a Warrior. But since warhammers have the highest BASE damage, iirc, I'd called yours the motherfucking "Skullcrusher".
Ha Skullcrushewr sure has a ring to it!

I'm enjoying the Breton more... I've never gone full mage before and it's so much fun having all that Magika to play with..

It's tough for mages at the start though, especially if you have to fight two or more enmies at once. I got my ass kicked by the Orc battlemage in that dungeon where you fetch Dagail's seer's stone for her.

P.S
Did I imagine it, or was someone badmouthing John-friggin-Coltrane a few posts back?
Not.
Cool.
D.S
I think we actually praised John Coltrane. Don't worry my friend, we all know he's cool. Not as cool as Miles Davis, but still very cool.

I used to think that gallopping around making horse noises was badass.

I was 8, alright?
You figured out that at eight? It took me until like twelve to figure out how awesome horse noises were.
OT: I heard Chop Suey when I was younger and thought "How could anyone think that's good?" and now SOAD is my favorite band

Oh. Well, that's much less blasphemic.
But I don't know...While My Lady Sleeps could very well be my all-time favourite jazz piece.


That said, I positively adore Miles. Especially "Sketches of Spain".
Talk about transcedent music.
