And I have come!

Hej!

I'm 15 years old, freshmen in highschool. male, that should be obvious. decent student. Biology is not my strong point though. I'm from Pennsylvania, not too far from Philly.
I have an intense interest in history, mostly scandinavian and medieval history, hence why I watch the History Channel religiously.

Along with scandinavian history I love the heavy metal coming out of that area, mostly Sweden and Finland(though finland isn't technically part of scandinavia. I'm also a fan of industrial, classic rock, blues, and whatever else pleases my ears.

what bands, you ask?
Amorphis
ajattata
arch enemy
apocalyptica
nevermore
skinny puppy
the cruxshadows
the who
amon amarth
shape of despair
nin
turbonegro
children of bodom
mind field
tapping the vein...just to name a few.

I don't consider myself gothic, or anything at all. I am who I am. I dress with a bit of a goth flare but nothing too crazy. hot topic is silly, just thought i'd put that out there. Clavin Klein is where its at, ha!

Well, thats enough for now, glad to have joined this forum, seems a good place with great people.

welcome Apocalypse! 15, intelligent and not placing yourself into any set category or stereotype...Hooray! I just had an argument with someone who was lumping your age group into one derogatory statement. Thanks for proving me right. :P

Hey! Welcome aboard, laddy. Good to have you. I'm a newb as well, still getting used to everything here. I heart PA, by the way! And apocalyptica. They're sick. Yup.

It's so trange being older than people. Welcome to the boards! Jut wondering, have you heard of a band called Finntroll? I heard a couple of their songs awhile back and thought they were kinda neat.

NickIt, eh? I plan to use that from now. Doesn't really have to same appeal when nobody understands it, shame.

Wow, I have a massive soar throat and a saxophone lesson, thats going to suck.

Thats right, I'm saxy, when I get playing I'm so saxual. Some might say I'm comfortable with my saxuality.

Hehehe, welcome!

I used to play saxophone, but I quit because I sucked. Which is quite a problem, seeing as you are supposed to blow. *crickets*

Better to suck than blow, when it comes to sax, I always say.

alright! turns out my mom let me skip sax due to illness, shes such a nice lady, and now I'm drugged up on tylenol and what now, so in an hour or so, back to feeling like crap.

I'm not really that great with my sax either. But I don't really practice much. That might do it. Plus I can never find anything sheet music I really like.

Guess I need to improve my sax life.
I think I've killed that joked now, BAM!
