  1. It's great that it's working out for you but a lot of people try long distance and have now way of seeing each other every weekend.

     

    Oh of course, I didn't mean to suggest that it should be easy for everyone.

     

    We spent 3 months apart over summer, seeing each other once. And it sucked, but again, between skype, phone calls and messaging, it's deal-able. I just think it depends on the relationship, rather than the situation. It's such a test though.


  2. I've spend the past 15 minutes reading through a few pages of this thread, and my god love is such hard work.

     

    I've been in a relationship for 8 months now, a lot of that long distance. He's from Brussels, but goes to Uni in Sheffield, where we met. I've now moved down to London from Sheff, and now he's back again for Uni we're visiting each other every weekend. It's so frustrating being 3 hours away, but it's far easier than I ever thought it would be after hearing other peoples experiences of long distance relationships. I honestly don't know why people find it so difficult. It sucks, but if it's worth it, you get used to it.


  3. Here we go again.

     

    Not you specifically but ive noticed that if you dont agree with something on this forum then the members tend to insult you.

     

    Generally its this:

     

    "You are an idiot if you do not agree with what im saying"

     

    Annoying.

     

    Now back on topic. Yes the game looks fun and im positive it will be a joy to play. I do not doubt this. I just dont think that in regards to what we have seen so far the game pushes the genre forward like the other mario console games did for that specific generation.

     

    I did make sure I put "I think" before making said statement. I just find sometimes when people don't get exactly what they want, they immediately feel the need to be overly dramatic, when actually, in reality, the situation could be far worse.


  4. I moved into my new place in London. Finally unpacked. I swear, there is nothing less draining than unpacking. It's like...I've already packed. WHY. Maybe some of you live near Hoxton? I'm so new/alone/terrified.

    And then a recent one of the boyfriend and I.

  5. Watched Oz, thought it was incredibly well done. A little too campy in places, but other than that it was a great surprise. A family film done correctly. I was crying laughing every time Mila Kunis' character screamed though, it was hilarious. NEVAAAAAAAAR.


  6. Had an awful year guy wise so far after being cheated on and whatnot, and with only three months left in Sheffield I basically decided to throw caution to the wind for once and ended up going back with a guy when I was out on Friday. We then had a two hour coffee date on Saturday and then when I was out last night I ended up getting a taxi back to his and so I spent the day today with him and his friends. I'm awful at social situations so was going to decline, but I plucked up the courage in the end.

     

    Such a strange situation considering I just met the guy. Still, I feel great either way.

  7. Real talk? He has a point when he calls her a shitty writer.

     

    I disagree, she has some brilliant pop songs to her name.

     

    But irregardless, there have been numerous stories concerning him and his label (RCA) and their disregard for the opinion/vision of the artist (famously with Christina Aguilera when she disagreed with him over Back to Basic's) over the past decade or so that's it's hard to believe he's not the complete dick she makes him out to be. His label have messed around and delayed countless albums from artists who have disagreed with them, to the point where they become no longer relevant. (JoJo being a very recent example). He also states in his book that at the time Kelly should have been less concerned with her vision and more grateful over the "world renowned" producing team he bought in for her. A blatant lie considering the "world renowned" team working on Since U Been Gone and Behind These Hazel Eyes had never had a hit to his name beforehand. So clearly he's just a misogynistic prick.

     

    I dislike the view that if you're a woman and a pop singer, you're effectively seen as some drone. Obviously some are, clearly. It's just nice to know there's certain individuals with undeniable talent proving otherwise.


  8. He's saying the chair looks unusually wide, implying that they've used visual trickery to make the room appear longer than it really is.

     

    Sheesh, Moogle.

     

    Aha, it does look a little longer than it was when I was there. But it's still a very decent size, especially for a studio.


  9. Clive Davis is releasing an autobiography and in it has made some pretty awful statements about Kelly Clarkson during the Breakaway era and the less successful My December era. Within hours she's released a statement effectively belittling him and this is why I love her so much. Enormous talent and a backbone.

     

    So I just heard Clive Davis is releasing a memoir and spreading false information about me and my music. I refuse to be bullied and I just have to clear up his memory lapses and misinformation for myself and for my fans. It feels like a violation. Growing up is awesome because you learn you don't have to cower to anyone - even Clive Davis.

     

    First, he says I burst into "hysterical sobbing" in his office when he demanded Since You Been Gone be on my album. Not true at all. His stories and songs are mixed up. I did want more guitars added to the original demo and Clive did not. Max, Luke and I still fought for the bigger sound and we prevailed and I couldn't be more proud of the life of that song. I resent him dampening that song in any way.

     

    But, yes, I did cry in his office once. I cried after I played him a song I had written about my life called "Because Of You." I cried because he hated it and told me verbatim that I was a "sh*tty writer who should be grateful for the gifts that he bestows upon me." He continued on about how the song didn't rhyme and how I should just shut up and sing. This was devastating coming from a man who I, as a young girl, considered a musical hero and was so honored to work with.

    But I continued to fight for the song and the label relented. And it became a worldwide hit. He didn't include that in the book.

     

    He also goes on to say My December wasn't successful because I co-penned the album and it didn't have "pop hits". Well, first let me say, I've co-penned many of my "pop hits." Secondly, My December went platinum (It sold 20,000 less than All I Ever Wanted which followed My December.) Hardly a huge failure. Never Again, the ONLY single they released in the US from that record was a Top 10 hit. I am very proud of that and I have my fans to thank. But, again, what's most interesting about his story is what he leaves out: He doesn't mention how he stood up in front of his company at a convention and belittled me and my music and completely sabotaged the entire project. It never had a chance to reach it's full potential. My December was an album I needed to make for myself for many reasons and the fact that I was so completely disregarded and disrespected was so disheartening, there really aren't words to explain….

     

    Anyway, I love my job. I love my music. I love my fans. I love my label and all of my professional relationships… now. And I am grateful for Clive for teaching me to know the difference.

     

    Cheers to another amazing year! And, as always, thanks for listening!

  10. That makes no sense to me. The only logic behind this that I can think of, is that men/women can't be in toilets with each other, as they won't be able to resist their urge and will just rape each other. Whereas gay men don't want to rape women, so the toilets can be neutral.

     

    But by that same logic, gay men shouldn't be allowed in the men's toilets, as they won't be able to control themselves, and raping will ensue.

     

    I'm so confused. The logic is purely that women don't care if gay guys come into the loo and in many occasions invite them in (including in regular clubs as I can attest to many a time) and vice versa. Even so, I see nothing wrong with gender neutral toilets. We all do the same thing in them, so as long as it's purely cubicle based I see no issue whatsoever.
