Here are some things about me, this time in timeline format. I continue to push the boundaries of this thread. I see a boundary, I eat it, and wash it down with a nice pint of rules.

3000 BC - Earliest recorded incarnation of the beard.

1500 AD - Introduction of hops to England from the Netherlands - first ever pint of bitter is brewed.

1982-1984 - Between them, Johnny Marr and Peter Buck invent the guitar style known as 'jangly open chords on a Rickenbacker' which r spends his life ripping off.

23rd September 1987 - James Peter Wizard Tweed Poweeeeeeer! Bandenburg is born.

24th September 1987 - Decides he doesn't like Keane.

25th September 1987 - Buys a very cheap pair of jeans from Marks & Spencer.

26th September 1987 - Pairs these jeans with a fleece in a muted colour. Makes mental note to do so more often.

4th September 1993 - First day at school. Immediately engages a teacher in a bout of witty banter.

5th September 1993 - Already has a reputation as a high-brow class clown. Makes first stupid analogy by comparing learning the alphabet to Robert Mugabe.

June 1997 - Two of r's favourite albums ever - Radiohead's OK Computer and Mogwai's Young Team - are released. Also, r is 10.

2001 - Stops playing the piano to give his hands a rest. Makes mental note to do so more often.

November 2003 - Decides he really likes Radiohead, sees them live and has never looked back.

25th December 2003 - Receives first guitar. Plays it constantly for the next 4,000 hours then snaps a string.

2004 - Wins award for 'best ridiculous exaggeration on an Internet messageboard'. The ceremony is held in a 4 million-storey building. In space.

2005 - Gets a place in the school band, playing guitar for theatrical productions. The funk flowed big-time.

Was later reprimanded for impersonating Brian May during a particularly moving scene.

Happens to be walking past Birmingham City University and is given a place on their Music Technology course.

September - Starts uni. Liver condition begins a long downhill slope.

December - Throws a shopping trolley out of a 4th-storey window. Makes a mental note to do so more often.

2007 - Decides he fully advocates the smoking ban when it helps him pull a girl in the union bar. Through a bizarre series of events meets one of his best friends ever

May 2008 - Happens to be walking past Newmarket racecourse and they offer him a job.

August 2008 - Forms the cutting-edge beat combo Grimbob & The Jaywalkers

November 2008 - Remains wary of Keane.

February 2009 - Great news! The Dacia Sandero will go on general sale in left-hand drive!

March 2070 - r dies stumbling into a ravine, his vision obscured by a hollowed-out pumpkin that he placed over his head to ward off an amorous follower of the Atkins diet. Makes a mental note to do so more often.

Fascinating... If you make any more mental notes, be sure to tell me. I'm taking all of those leaves out of your book. Now I just have to figure out a place with a 4th story and a shopping cart................. IKEA!!!

Also for you:

I've created my own alphabet with over 40 signs. It took me 3-4 days to memorize most of them though I still get å and ä mixed up

I'm in pain and I have no idea why. The right side of my abdomen has been aching on and off for the last few days

I got up at 6am today but now I've decided not to go to school, except for the very last lesson as we have a test >.<

Dark Lord Cam · Post by **Dark Lord Cam** » Mon Nov 10, 2008 6:27 am

i made my own alphabet too
and a number system

i cant remember any of it though...............

though i still use a symbol or two when i write and dont realize it until the teacher yells at me for writing gibberish..............

Impossible! The only thing greater than my love for dogs is my sexiness!

I think I'll do a timeline about myself:

Start of Boring Age
Circa 5,999,999,998,000 BCE: The world came into existence

June 1994: Dogmantra was born.

Circa December 1994/January 1995: Dogmantra started walking & talking

The rest of 1995-1997: Nothing Much happened

September 1998: Dogmantra started school

2001: Dogmantra moved into private education, Dogmantra first learnt the word "Receive", Dogmantra first mis-spelt Reci... Receive
End of Boring Age

Start of Very Slightly Philosophical Age
2001-2002: Stuff happened

2003: Dogmantra first started reading The Hitch-Hiker "Trilogy", got stuck halfway through

2005: Dogmantra managed to finish the Hitch-Hiker "Trilogy", Dogmantra developed his current verbosity
End of Very Slightly Philosophical Age

Start of The Greatest Age in the World (a-al-ri-i-ight!)
2006: Dogmantra got the best form tutor + English teacher ever, which further developed not only the love of English and the theatre but also his self esteem

12th of June 2007: Dogmantra became a teenager, he finally had an excuse to stay in bed until 2 p.m.

June-ish 2007: Dogmantra starred in his last play to date: Our Day Out

July-ish 2007: Dogmantra left the best school he knows
End of The Greatest Age in the World

Start of the (Thankfully rather short-lived) Depression age
September 2007: Dogmantra started a new school, becoming the shy, oppressed person he was a couple of years ago, with added depression!

December 2007/January-ish 2008: Dogmantra heard Monty Python's Universe Song for the first time, in a physics lesson, he went back home and listened to it several times on repeat. He stopped being so depressed, yes, a physics lesson did change his life
End of the Depression Age

Start of the Not-Quite-as-Good-School-but-it'll-do Age
Spring-ish 2008: Dogmantra came up with a great title for a book and decided to write it

Later Spring-ish 2008: Dogmantra realised that his book was basically a rip-off of Eragon

Spring-ish 2008: Dogmantra sang. People laughed. They were supposed to.

Summer 2008: First year of his new school ended
End of the Not-Quite-as-Good-School-but-it'll-do Age

Start of the Sexy Age
Summer 2008: Dogmantra got his most character development... uh... developed his personality the most he's ever done to date

Early September 2008: Dogmantra finally managed to spell Reci... Receive right.

September 2008: Dogmantra realised he was the sexiest person in existence

November 2008: Present day

pfft, I currently have 4 dogs. I'd get you pics, but two of them are scared to death of the camera, and the other two.... well.... I'd prefer you keep your lunches.

Wolf · Post by **Wolf** » Mon Nov 10, 2008 10:34 pm

I lost my lunch at that remark! You owe me one lunch!

Sublymonal · Post by **Sublymonal** » Tue Nov 11, 2008 2:10 am

Well, I was implying that one of them is earth-shatteringly ugly, and the other one is so terrifying that you would expel all bodily fluids upon looking at her [unless you're accustomed to such a sight]. Wolf might like her though.

Here's a list of all my dogs:
- Jet [Miniature Schnauzer] He's the one that's earth-shatteringly ugly [and fat] He's 11 years old [adopted]
- Rowdy [terrier-lasa opsa mix] We've had him the longest. He's 7. He has one gimp leg from where he got hit by 2 different cars [different days].
- Merry [wire-haired terrier] I love her to death, but she's dumber than a sack of bricks. She's 2, and very playful.
- Cheyenne [Siberian Husky] She's my favourite

She's just a little over a year old. Her awesomeness is indescribable.

Wolf · Post by **Wolf** » Tue Nov 11, 2008 2:14 am

I WANT A SIBERIAN HUSKY!!! I LOVE THEM TO DEATH!!
It's adorable!!
Gimme a pic!!

Dogs- we just don't want a pet...

I'd get you a pic wolf, but she's absolutely terrified of all kinds of mobile technology.... I shall try to see if I can find an old pic of her in my archives though...
