I've always wondered, how is Haight pronounced? Like "hate" or "height"?

It's pronounced just like the opposite of Love.

Speaking of Love, I am going to my first ever Gay Pride Parade today in Northampton, Ma. while my alter ego is having a grand ole time in Sendai, Japan.

I wish I could be going with Sammy!

Trawling YouTube, ran across great quality video from the Pittsburgh Unleashed show, which is the one I got to see (you may remember me texting the play-by-play to Madam Skcin during the show, because I am a great humanitarian like that), and was reminded of how badass & fun "Go Insane" was with the band as opposed to just Lindsey doing the acoustic thing.

I love the acoustic thing, don't get me wrong, but I danced like an idiot during this, because YAY:

Pure love. Can't stop listening to it now. JTIS.

so funny you should mention this! I also loved this change of arrangement! It was a bit encouraging for me to hear during the concert, because when the guitar started, all the casual listeners were like, "WTF?!" and i'm sitting there, going..

Yea, i'm 13, and i know more songs than these old farts....

As someone who knows a little bit about music, I'd like to comment that when it comes to guitar-playing, Lindsey may be good but he's just simply not "top-tier," he doesn't have the chops of someone like Joe Satriani or Yngvie Malmsteen or . . . or Eric Clapt- or uh - shush a minute please - Yike. Okay well *THAT* was pretty good!
Uhm, yeah so he doesn't have the ability to - uhm . . . uh. . . *where* was I? Oh yeah something about Lindsey's heavenly guitar-playing. He - uhm - yike.
*sigh!*

Good luck on the AP exams! When I took mine last year I was so nervous about US History. Unfortunately, my FRQ's were sooo hard. I still made a 3 though. Which AP English are you taking?

I like all versions of it, but this one just makes me want to dance about like an idiot. I particularly like the jangly noises in the middle.

O I C WUT U DID THAR

On a different note, your reference to Malmsteen makes me wish I still had that one Pantera home video where they chase him through a hotel lobby and into an elevator, trying to give him a donut, with Malmsteen yelling, "I don't like f*cking donuts! I SAID I DON'T LIKE F*CKING DONUTS!" the whole time in his goofy little accent.

When Guitar Hero 3 came out & made that DragonForce band popular, I was sitting around, playing it with some friends, and we ended up spending at least an hour laughing hysterically over the fact that Yngwie Malmsteen was surely out there in a corner somewhere, curled up in the fetal position and sobbing.

Y'know, cos he's a tool and stuff.

Don't be nervous. You will be fine. I don't know what the AP tests are like these days, but when I took mine, they were not nearly as hard as we had been led to believe. English/Lit/language stuff is my specialty, but the way they talked about the tests, I figured I'd be lucky if I landed a 3 on my Lit test. I ended up with a 5.

Of course, I bombed all the math related ones in a spectacular explosion of fail and ineptitude, but numbers & I have never gotten along and I expected that to happen.

Thank you. Congrats on that 5 (it's impossible for me

). Oh god, I wish I had an AP test for math...I'm taking AP Calculus next year. I'm completely opposite of you with math tho because for some odd reason I can understand it

-- my friends love/hate me for it...I'm calm now after being nervous for a while. Nervousness won't help me...

(who the hell am I kidding lol)

BTW, does anyone have any ****ing idea what a pesticide treadmill is??
It was on the free response section of the practice ap and all I wrote was: pesticide treadmill?? wtf!
