I'm bored.

I'm going home at 4, but that leaves me with just over an hour to kill.

You bastards had better be entertaining. cos if you're not.....

edit: better ask something I guess...

Tell me something interesting about yourself. Something not many people know. Do you have a special talent?

I quite surprise people by being able to put my leg behind my head. The surprise comes because I am a 6'2 bloke who weighs about 14 stone.

What's your favourite song to play on guitar?
Mine's No Other Way by Jack Johnson.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 29 May 2009, 15:02, Reply)

I should probably know that song...
my favourites are either (at the moment): Diamonds on the soles of her shoes by Paul Simon, a blues song in D that I wrote or Oh Well by Fleetwood Mac
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 29 May 2009, 15:04, Reply)

Rockin in the free world
or 'Julie' by The Levellers

Hard Fight
by the Levellers is also a lovely song to play due to the strange chords used. One ia like a Dminor played the Astring open and 3 frets back - I can't remember what its called, and the other is like an upside down Fmajor, with both E strings played open.
( SpikeyPickle wishes he was mabazaritchie, Fri 29 May 2009, 15:21, Reply)

This makes my fingers cry.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 29 May 2009, 15:25, Reply)

They get played arpeggio as well
It sounds lovely on a 12string.
( SpikeyPickle wishes he was mabazaritchie, Fri 29 May 2009, 15:28, Reply)

they sound interesting
not chords that I know though.

I tend to stick to fairly straightforward ones.

and face-melting guitar soloes

I can do this also!
I used to do it while wiggling my eyebrows and flaring my nostrils to try and make friends
(SoneMe, Fri 29 May 2009, 20:30, Reply)

I can...
Shake my pupils (I mean my eyes of course, it's hard to describe), wiggle my ears and raise eyebrows independently.

All of the above can be performed at the same time for maximum "wtf?"

Also, I was once on Blue Peter

I can
blow air out through my tear ducts.

Sing any note from A (an octave and a third below middle C) to high C (two octaves above middle C) with ease.

Cause near-death experiences (was giving a flute recital a few years ago in a church, hit a long, held high note during a particularly poignant bit, heard a bit of a commotion at the back of the church, and later found out the frequency had fucked up some old bugger's pacemaker. Oops. My recitals should come with health warnings).

EDIT: and I can write really filthy, explicit grot.

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 29 May 2009, 15:38, Reply)

a weapon
of aural torture? My voice is quite pleasant actually. Unless I'm drunkenly singing along to Aqualung (the Jethro Tull song, not the band).
(The Empress it seems you CAN polish a turd!, Fri 29 May 2009, 15:58, Reply)

not of torture
but if you can do funny things to a pacemaker there's got to be some use for it on the modern battlefield.

I fucking love that Jethro Tull song :-D
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 29 May 2009, 17:04, Reply)

Bloody hell
That's some vocal range.

Some of the so-called sopranos I've worked from time to time with can barely sustain a high E (8 semitones below your top note). Admittedly they're not exactly classically trained, but still.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Fri 29 May 2009, 15:38, Reply)

ahah nice range
I have an A to B-flat range with ease but by fuck I'm glad I'm not doing the soprano stuff for my recital in november!

-The Empress
That is one bitchin' range. Mine, well (or relatively well, I'm not a great singer) is about E below middle C to E octave above middle C, but when pushed I can get to the Bs on the outer edges of both.
S'not pretty though!

Special talent? I pick things up with my feet. And I once saw Tom Cruise in a supermarket.

I also have a "talent" for being funny unintentionally. I have toyed with idea of wanting to be a journalist, so at a careers evening, I got talking to a journalist, who has written for the Guardian. And towards the end of the conversation, he said "Well, you never know, we might see your name on the front page" I answered "Well, it would be good if you could spell it correctly"

I've got an odd, oft-mispelled/pronounced surname. Didn't realise I'd accidently made a Grauniad joke. I was about 14.
