  • Ah, what usually compels you to give away (too much?) money? About AIM, no worries, there's always this evening and future days. : D
    I watch everyone! *diabolical evil laugh---* *starts choking on cough*
    Wow, 40k albums? I can really respect that you can make a living from something that most people can only do as a hobby :p! As for analyzing... I'm not a psychologist (yet? XD), I'm just beginning my practical training. Also, at work, it's a lot easier to analyze our clients because we have detailed personal histories of each of them, as well as having conducted structured interviews that ask voluminous amounts of targeted questions. I'm always happy to provide input, but I wouldn't ascribe clinical accuracy to it. :p
    As for why forensic psych: I've been interested in the relationship between mental illness and crime. Most of our patients have committed serious, violent offenses, but I've only worked with a few serial killers. Mostly assault charges, usually.
    Yeah, probably best to get them all dealt with at once (less hassle in the end, I'd think). Musician by trade eh? That's really neat, do you have a band then? I get far too nervous with piano to perform; I couldn't imagine doing it for anything other than recreation. As for college/university, it's certainly not for everyone. I was originally going to go straight into my graduate degree following my undergraduate, but I'm feeling somewhat burnt out from school and would just like to do some related work in my field for some time. Forensic psych is just psychology in the context of the legal system, so assessing and treating various offenders, and at times testifying with regards to one's findings. Myself in particular, I work with NCR patients (not criminally responsible by reason of mental disorder), which is the modern designation for having successfully utilized the "insanity defense".
    I've heard that as well. Apparently I only have two wisdom teeth (on the top). The dentist said they aren't likely to cause a problem, but it's still possible I'll need them removed eventually. Will you need all of yours removed, or just the one? I work as a forensic psychology intern at present. How about yourself?
    Understandable. I'm terrrrrrified of needing to have my wisdom teeth removed! No movement from them yet, but there's still time for them to decide to make an appearance lol.
    Well I hope that your tooth is taken care of at the soonest opportunity, that sounds painful! I try to dwell on death only to the extent that it motivates me in life.
    Ahhh, are you alright? I'd love to go on AIM etc. atm but it's blocked at my workplace (where I'll be at for much of the day). :(
    "Depressed" is kindred to me unfortunately, though I hope to at least be strong enough to always get the better of it just enough! I like interesting people, you seem interesting.

    Lovecraft <3
    Well you know, it's at least nice to know you have the ability to make music lots of people can enjoy. But I get what you mean, you want something that sounds more unique and original to sell, right?

    Strange Aeons, sounds pretty cool. Is it gonna be triply music by any chance? I just get that sense when I think of that name.

    Okay, well just know that Paul Baloche is a cool guy. :D My dad met and talked with him once, after he played the drums for him at a concert. I didn't personally meet him, but I think that's exciting. I know.. it's not really anything to be excited about, but it made me want to look up his music and appreciate it. Have you met any musicians, or dream to meet anyone in particular?
    Wait, you make albums? You're in a band? If so that's pretty cool! I wanted to pick up a guitar and learn it, but I just don't have the patience for it. You gotta have a passion for it I guess. Speaking of Hip Hop though, I used to really be into Gorillaz. I used to dance like a fool in my room by myself.. :D

    Hmm, I'll look up Sis Rosetta Tharpe out of interest. Thanks

    Oh, you were forced to listen to southern gospel music? You poor soul. :( Well hey, tell me what you think of this song. It's called "Sing Out" by Paul Baloche (this song is unlike his usual style). I know you said you're atheist, but just think about the vibe in this song, and how lively the atmosphere is. It would be quite an experience to see people getting up to shout for a change and not act so rigged all the time.

    Edit: btw, "Shout, Sister, Shout!" by Rosetta Tharpe put a smile on my face. I was sold. I dl'ed it on iTunes :D
    Oh wow, so you really are a fan of metal. I like to ask these questions because I never really developed my own taste of music in my younger years.. hell, I was the most non-expressive kid I know growing up. The only things that ever seemed to interest me were video games, but now that is something a lot less of interest to me these days. I thought to my self, "why didn't I ever listen to music growing up.. or get involved with most things for that matter?!" The answer doesn't matter so much, as I just accept that I was raised as a very sheltered kid. The point is, I want to make that change now. Most people 'find themselves' at a much younger age and begin to really express their individuality, but hey.

    In other words, I don't have as much a story when it comes to music (really only started listening around 2 yrs ago). I'll say this though. I started off liking the cheesy music that I would consider bad taste now like The Killers, Nickleback, and Chis Daughtry. It just sounds so drab to me now :p I then wanted to listen to some REAL rock music, so I turned my attention to The White Stripes, The Black Keys, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and then I started liking classic rock after that. That stuff also got me interested into the Blues genre. When I was really depressed, I listened to the Blues a lot :p But I have to say, Rev. Blind Gary Davis is good. He sings about good morals in his music and he really incorporated Christian gospel in the style of Blues (which is usually not done in that style of music). So yeah, as of late, I've been getting into various forms of gospel. It seems our tastes in music are clashing at the moment :p But that's okay. :D
    What drew you to that type of music? and when did you first start liking it? I like how raw sounding it is, even though the grudginess is what draws most people away.
    Ha, yeah that could be helpful. "When caffeine isn't enough"... I certainly don't have any adderall around : P
    Yeah, that's a hell of a shirt; and my account will soon have 17 less dollars in it.

    Thanks... I think.
