"Are you female?

Interest in forming a new friendship and possibly more? Enjoy smoking weed from time to time or at least are open to those that do? Like to discuss and listen to music like its your job? Interested as well in to the world of science? Well, look no further! Kyle is ready to take on the job"
 
I like these conversations. I can lurk and take advice without having to repeat my own problems over and over again. haha.

Ugh... I can't find it in me to get enough motivation to do h/w for classes I just don't give two shits about... Basically every class I'm taking right now besides guitar. I'm kicking ass in the class :D.

This is going to be a long year.

Also I'm fucking clueless atm on how to meet girls on campus. I don't have the balls to just randomly go up to someone and say, hey, you look cute, or some shit like that. I thought college allows for such things and that meeting people is easy as pie, but after two years I do not see that.

eat some phenibut first :)
 
^Or better yet, just swing your nutsack over yer shoulder like its a pillowcase full of nickels and dive in head-first. I mean really, its not like there's anything to lose. It's just conversation. :) At worst it leads nowhere, and at best its like a magic trail leading to the magical grove of wonderment betwixt their heavenly thighs.
 
So people actually do go up to random chicks with lines like that, with success?

I've seen plenty of women chilling alone out on the quad (its not actually called that, but not sure how I can translate it to other campuses), but I'm not sure of what to say to actually make contact.

It's much, much easier if you already have something in common with them. Girls in your classes would be a much better place to start. Use school related chit-chat as an excuse to flirt. :)
 
See I've always found class to be the worst place to talk to people. There never seems to be enough time, and most of the people in my science classes are pre-med students that are well... not to generalize, just not that interesting. They are the smart goodie two shoe type of people. I know I'm just making excuses, but at least with all the classes I have right now it is rather hard to talk to anyone. They are real full, I have to get to class usually with in 10 minutes so I end up sitting down right as the class starts, and fuck, I still am clueless on what to even say to them. Talking about shit going on in class has never gotten me anywhere in terms of relationships with people in my class. Literally every time we would see each other, we would talk about class...

I'm an odd guy. I'm quieter (I wouldn't say shy at this point in my life, just super introverted, though I can be very loud when the conversation goes to my court), and really only like to speak when I feel the need too. I can not continue conversations that do not interest me. Also, when ever it turns in to a group situation where I'm trying communicate with multiple people, or even make witty comments to catch the attention of someone I freeze up. I can't handle group conversations. They don't make sense to me. They go way to fast, and there is an unfair advantage to certain people with in the conversation depending on the personality type.

I feel like I'm just making excuses. I rather genuinely want to some how get over this hump, but I just don't see any viable moves.

I'm not very literate with MIDI, so I could be wrong-- but I'm 99% sure that one of my keyboards can be used as a MIDI controller. It definitely has two MIDI ports, but I don't know if you need an extra hub unit to make it functional. It's my cheapest and oddly enough, most favorite keyboard-- a Casio CDP-100 -- full 88 keys that are weighted pretty realistically. It was not overpriced at all, possibly check it out and see if it meets your requirements. :)

You would probably have just an input or output (or throughput) ports. A lot of modern keyboards (ie. made in last 20 years) will be able to send basic midi signal; on-note, off-note being the most obvious.

Your keyboard might not be able to send any velocity signals, regardless of how well weighted it is. Then again, a guitar can send midi signals, but you want something that sends an almost square audio pulse; MIDI doesn't seem to like sustain; it simply won't respond...

Yep, you're right -- you've just got to buy a MIDI-to-USB interface and any digital piano with a MIDI output can control a DAW. I've actually got a Yamaha digital piano sitting in an unopened box here, trying to decide if I want to keep it, or save up for something with more control options (pitch wheel, mod wheel, expression pedal, faders, rotaries, etc.).

Do you play keyboards to any extent?

Lol I'm at school and i keep coughing really, really loud it's got to be annoying.

I had the worst cough during finals a couple years ago. You could've heard a pin drop in the exam room if not for my obnoxious hacking. :!

It also tells us about the the body-centered metaphorical techniques employed be the mind to cope with trauma i.e. "something bad happened to my body so I'm not in it anymore."

Another great example of the (arguably) perversions of pleasure and pain that we were discussing in that LSD trip report I posted awhile back.

Hey guys, you should listen to this dubstep track I'm trying to make and give me an idea of what too add or something :)

Nice. Listening to some of your electro-house stuff, and feeling your grooves as usual. :) I'd give StepDub's bass a little more character (I hesitate to tell you to make it "meaner"). Like, maybe detune the voices a little more? And put it through a warm, fat distortion, or tape compression. But keep a clean sub sine wave so that you don't lose the meat of it.
 
lol, so I bought a ketamine molecule shirt with the partial attempt at using that as a way to catch the eye of some one with chemistry knowledge (i want some science friends up here!), and to also to see if anyone catches the reference (I'd love to talk about the wonders of ketamine, in the recreational sense but really mainly the chemistry and pharmacology sense). Silly I know, but either way it is a badass t-shirt which I plan on wearing for a while.

Your second paragraph is exactly me. I'm full of character and when i have a chance to share my opinion i will do so willingly. Once the meeting with someone is done, i am always fine on a 1 to 1 talking level 9yet to ever push it past that, i usually become 'friends' by my own cowardice haha) However if I meet a group...i just can't do it, i just turn silent. Group conversations with friends I'm fine with, although when high I rarely participate lol, but group conversations with strangers are just impossible for me. I haven't got the self-esteem or belief to be able to put myself on the conversational pedastal and say "hey, I don't know any of you, but I'm gonna force my way into this convo and show you what a great guy I am." Probably cause I find people that do take over group conversations with people they don't know, to either be very false, or just generally a cunt.

I know exactly what you mean, haha.

A ket T-shirt would be an awesome way to meet a girl.
 
Considering the extent of my illegal activities I could try the bad boy thing, but I would just be seen as a druggy. I'm also to damn nice. I have a hard to time not being nice. I'm super laid back and rather not hurt a fly :P

Pep, I might be joining you on that if I can't figure out some sort of game plan. I live in a small mountain town though which is kinda annoying for craigslist.

Yes, but never when other people can hear. :D

Mainly I use it to map out harmonic territories for my guitar playing, so I can get an ear for basic structure before playing-- otherwise I have a tendency to go off on really strange tangents and run the song-train right off the tracks.

Actually I should be speaking in the past tense, because I sold my last guitar expecting to buy a new one very shortly-- but I had to use a good chunk of the money for some bullshit late fee they slapped me with on my tuition payment at school (mofucking blood-suckers, but I digress).

It's been like 2 months since I've played actually, now that I think about it. I'm sure my chops are rusty as hell...:\

I love the piano though, but it doesn't really like me. I dunno, like every musician has a certain instrument they prefer, and that choice is completely dependent upon the particular disposition of the individual. I feel this intuitive connection to the guitar that just isn't there for me with the keys.
 
I'm glad tonight is another wonderful clear night. I have astronomy lab in a half hour, and since it is nice and clear, we should be out using the telescopes. They are pretty damn nice ones too. 11inchers. Last monday we went out and looked at Jupiter with for 4 of it moons, and had a veiwing of the red spot as well. We also checked out a planetary nebula (forgot which one), Andromeda, a binary star system with one being red and the other blue, and a few other cool sights. I've never had the chance to look through such a good telescope so this is pretty awesome.
