Happy birthday to another male who is brave enough to venture into these parts :D
 
:hyper:
yay, thank you very much all of you!
I'll tell you more later, because I'm busy filling my iPod Nano with some good music, but I can assure you this was one of the best if not the best birthdays ever!

:D good to hear that, do tell about it!
 
As I now have my iPod, I might fill it with other stuff than U2 believe it or not.
Could someone recommend me the best albums from:

The Strokes
Pearl Jam
Johnny Cash
The Killers
B.B. King
Beatles
Bruce Springsteen
Radiohead
Bob Dylan
AC/DC
Dire Straits

Maybe some more later too, we'll see about that.

Ok, here's the little story of today:


Woke up, wide awake in bed lying still (ok almost still) for 1½ hours to see if anyone would come and sing "Happy Birthday" to me and my twin brother.
Didn't happen, so I got up and we had breakfast instead together the whole family.

After that we took some photos and opened one of our gifts each, which was a awesome shirt, but it was slightly too small for me so we will have to exchange that later.

Then we had some cake (yummy) and we opened up the other present, which was a black 8 Gb iPod Nano.
It didn't really come as a surprise, though as I had seen dad searching for it on the internet.

Anyway, then some of our friends came by and they had arranged a surprise for us but they refused to tell us about it any further.
(It was rumored to be Bungee-jumping but thank god that wasn't it!)

They took us to some stores but told us to wait outside as they wanted to keep the moment of the surprise.
As it turns out, none of the stores there had the thing for us that they were after, so we waited in the cold for nothing.
But that would be fixed later on.

Things would get a little worse as we missed the bus that would take us home again,
so we decided that it would be better if we walked all the way to our place instead of freezing our arses off for half an hour until the next bus would come.

Next stop (after getting something small to eat, and rest our legs a little) was the cinema.
We took the bus again, and met up with two more friends there on the way.
Before we would sit down and watch "Casino Royale" we felt that getting something to eat was necessary in order to stay
awake during the movie.

At the same time as my brother and I went to grab our tickets, our group of friends went another way.
When we came back, one of them had a plastic bag in his hands and gave it to the both of us.
That was what they were looking for at the stores earlier, and inside was... A Playstation 2!
I know this generation of videogaming is coming to an end, but I didn't care, it was a PS2 and half of it was mine!
That's what I would call a surprise allright!

After thanking them properly (as I'm a very polite person, but perhaps a bit too surprised at the moment) we had something to eat.
When we had finished our meals and chatted a little we too the escalator to the above floor and went inside the cinema.
I must say I enjoyed Casino Royale, although it didn't quite feel like a Bond-movie sometimes but it was good for it's purpose, to entertain the audience.
That was basically what I did, and as I said earlier this was one of the best birthday's ever!

Hope I didn't leave anything important out.
If I did, I'll blame it on the fact that I'm not used to being "this old" yet...:p

Woah bro, you're lucky! now you can play Guitar Hero!!!!

:grumpy: why can't tehy give us Nintendo ppl cool games like that?
 
Happy Belated Birthday Simon! I don't believe we've met. I'm Brittany. I'm 18, from Michigan.:hug:

As for Johnny Cash, I would suggest "At Folsom Prison" which is a live recording at Folsom State Prison in California. There had been nothing like it at the time. and all of his "American Recordings" Many of them are covers of songs (since they were recorded in his later years) but honestly most of them are better than the original recordings. There are 5 of them, you can look them up anywhere for more info. As for The Beatles (while all the albums are classics) "Abbey Road" is probably the most necessary.
 
Wow, I'm haven't been able to reply to this thread in a few days, and look what's happened!
You guys are great!
Thanks to all of you.

Yeah I guess so, but I sucked when I tried it once at a friend's house.
I'll just have to practice like I do my with my real guitar(s).

I hope Nintendo manage to sign a deal with whoever creates those game so they can make a guitar for the Wii later, I really hope they succeed, because that would be totally awesome.
