I play piano, mostly by ear. I don't take lessons though. I usually learn songs by watching which keys someone presses while they play.

I can also play a bit of guitar.

Here's the official description from the book's jacket sleeve:

Matt Cruise is a cabin boy on the aurora, a huge airship that sails hundreds of feet above the ocean, ferrying wealthy passengers from city to city. It's the life Matt's always wanted; convinced he's lighter than air, he imagines himself as buoyant as the hydrium gas that powers his ship. One night he meets a dying balloonist who speaks of beautiful creatures drifting through the skies. It is only after Matt meets the balloonist's granddaughter that he realizes that the man's ravings may, in fact, have been true, and that the creatures are completely real and utterly mysterious.

that's four... now for five!

I don't update my blog too often either, but... we'll se what happens.

You're Welcome!

Nice spacecraft MoC! That deserves a click! *click*

You first need to get the blueprint from Echo. In the letter he sends you, click on "collect attachment" to get it. Then in your inventory, click on the blueprint and make the apple pie. It costs 5 apples, so you should make those first.

Okay! Thanks!

-Bricky

Ok, I'm pretty sure I remember the order of this...

First, go to your inventory, and use your apple blueprint to make an apple. After that, go to your mailbox and send Echo the apple as an attachment. He should then give you a blueprint for apple pie. Make the apple pie and send it to Farmer John as an attachment. You should then receive the Crimson Apple Masterpiece. Make that, and you're level 1!

After that, friend the Networkers that are level 1 and 2, and send them what they request. Basically you need to collect bricks and items to make Masterpieces so you can level up. And you need to friend the Networkers to make that possible.

Also, some Networkers give hints in their profile blurb as to what you should send them.

Hope I helped!

P.S.

You should be receiving a friend request from me.

I thought katakana was for non japanese words...

It is, but it's possible to spell regular Japanese words in Katakana. It's just not commonly used.

I know what you mean...

Hey, I was quoted!

Happy birthday! That comic cracked me up!

I've had that photoshop annoyance as well, and assuming I know what you're talking about, try going to "view>show>slices" and uncheck it. That should work.

I got that exact same brochure, and I thought of of sending it in just for the mag-light too. But the marines aren't for me either, and I didn't want to possibly get involved with something I don't want to be a part of. So I didn't send mine in.

So I guess if you don't want to be in the marines, don't send it back in. Makes sense to me. Besides, I can survive without a flashlight.

I'm sorry... Just do what you can to prevent it, cause divorce just leads to disaster, and effects many people. I've seen this happen to a few of my relatives...

Talk to them... try to convince them not to do it.

Before I read that I was reading about the events of Columbine and Virginia Tech. I find those events so hard to believe, but they happened.

That phrase is completely true, and it's not going to change.

Very sad...

Actually, I've worn flip-flops in snow before. It was melting though, and like 75ºF out.

I will definitely say twenty-ten. It sounds better, and there's less syllables to pronounce.

Twenty-Ten - 3

Two-Thousand-Ten - 4

Two-Thousand-And-Ten - 5

Yup, definitely twenty-ten.

Besides, isn't that how it's supposed to be pronounced? I mean, we didn't call 1999 "one-thousand-nine-hundred-ninety-nine."

Well, maybe that's a bad example... but still.

Who knew Carapar had a secret life as a fashion model!

P.S. It looks like P.S.'s are becoming the new elipses...
