« on: November 29, 2008, 04:27:22 pm »

Salut! Qu'est-ce que tu aimes faire? (bahaha I can't think properly in french right now)

J'aime venir en vacances aux Etats-Unis! (je suis a New York en ce moment)
Et toi?

J'aime manger le dindon! baha  :lol:
Qui est allé faire les magasins hier?

Je n'ai pas malheureusement pu, j'ai du assister a l'ecole. Bien que je brule d'acheter beaucoup de vetements maintenant, je dois faire des devoirs. Blech!

Completely Off-Topic / Anybody fluent in French around here?

« on: November 27, 2008, 06:07:17 pm »

Is anybody fluent or at least conversant with French? I'm doing IB French B SL and would really love some practice with my French by somebody who would actually want to and be competent enough too.

I would say that I'm at about a conversant level (it would be possible for me to type this entire message in French, albeit some errors). However, improvement is always good. Who knows, perhaps I can even work my way up to maintaining my 5 or even improving to a 6 or a 7?

I'm sure that with a forum as diverse as this one, I'll be able to find somebody who is good at the language.

(Now I really hope that doesn't sound like a LavaLife Ad or something... hehe.)

It truly is the perfect fall album... starts off with something totally summery and then just goes right into it.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Different Verison Of Sway...

Yep, I've heard this one before.

I have this whole concert i think. Just forgot about it.

Do you want to upload it anywhere? I know that she added a pretty rocky edge to most of her songs, seeing it was House of Blues and everything. Or was that the Hall of Rock and Roll Unsung performance? Hmm...

I like it, sounds ethereal, like she's singing in a different language.

It's a grand piano; it might be her Yamaha.

« on: May 03, 2008, 03:09:50 pm »

I like it. I know she's done White Houses, Pretty Baby and Unsung with a full live band before. I think she should do more of her songs live like this.

This is me and my friend doing Hands On Me. Yes, I know we're barely together and I go out of tune all of the time, and the keyboard had no pedal so the piano part sounds pretty disconnected and emotionless, but I think it's on the borderline of okay?...

Any comments welcome!

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Wallace Stevens Harmonium

A real harmonium is a string instrument "from the jungle."

Vanessa Carlton's "Harmonium" is a combination of pandemonium and harmony.

Today I was in American Eagle, and Hands On Me was playing on the music video screen they have! I was very, very excited of course! (I think they listed it as Put Your Hands On Me though)
