Jamey Aebersold makes these play along books, the site is: www.jazzbooks.comMy computer is running a little slow right now, so i'm not able to get you page specific links, but the left column has a piano section. That might help. The books are usually around $20.

So... Uh... For you love experts out there, check this scenario:
You're known for being sort of a "class clown," telling jokes and pulling pranks on people. People like you though, oh how they like you. In fact you've got two admirers whom you definitely know want to have you as a companion.
Along comes this cute girl that no one seems to like because their standards are too high for her. You really like her though, but don't know what to do. You mess around with her head for awhile, whispering sweet nothings into her ear. She doesn't, of course, take it seriously. And she shouldn't since you originally intended it all to be just a joke. You couldn't, however, resist taking it to a more serious level and attempt actual flirtation.
You buy her flowers, candy, the works. She still doesn't take you seriously. You're still messing with her though, just every now and then. You do some crazy things (naturally, as you're a "class clown," remember?), she becomes afraid. You weren't friends with her before all of this happened. Is it hopeless at this point?

So how do you know me??? You are pretty much describing me there... As for your answer it all dfepends on the girl herself. I can think right now of a friend who wants nothing to do with me anymore because of it and there are some that want to spend more time together(after that akward moment). So pretty much it depends on the girl. I would most likely leave her alone for sopme time. i mean, still talk to her and everything but treat her like everyone else, and then start treating her different again. Now she should know you a little better and feel a little more comfortable with the way you are acting towards her. Oh yeah! Stay away from the gifts, That really weirds them out.

10/7 is election day here in CA. Let's hope Arnold doesn't become Governer...
In the past few years I have become one of those people that likes solitude. Now that I've hit highschool I have begun to dislike being alone all the time. I wish I were having girl trouble... *sighs* Life goes on I suppose.

Not bad advice, I must say... But it's kinda tough treating her like a friend, considering that she's only in one of my classes this year. I see her in the halls and at the end of the day, but never anywhere that I can really have a conversation. I'm in her last period class, which is Concert Band. Being such a skilled trombonist (compared to those Concert Band underlings at least), I can pretty much not play at all and get away with it. I can talk then, but it seems so inopportune with the instruments blazing. I know her brother though, but just as an acquiantance since he just transferred here. Should I try to make little conversation with her when I can, or go for the stalker method? Hmm... I'll go for the first method since she already fears me a bit. But what should I say? Girlfriends that I'm used to having either stalk me or have been my friends for some time, so I'm kinda uneasy on this whole situation.

I wish I were having girl trouble... *sighs* Life goes on I suppose. You should try teh kebby method of loosening up: Express yourself. Most people just say "be yourself," but I find that to be too little of an effort to ditch loneliness and increase peace of mind. You have to analyze yourself, then multiply your personality by infinity. Constantly change: be happy one day, and quiet another; be angry in the morning, and crazy in the afternoon. Find the personality that suits you, and stick to it as often as it doesn't get boring. That's about it, just don't get caught up in the peer pressure stuff where you become expected to do something by someone or a certain group. Be unpredictablely you.

It's amazing how much the Dragon Warrior franchise has fallen since the merger. There used to be a market for DQ/DW merchandise on Ebay. If you called a up a search for "Dragon Quest" or "Dragon Warrior," you'd get 5-6 pages of stuff. Today, for each of those searches, you'd return Pages 1 of 1, and the majority of the stuff isn't even Enix's Dragon Quest/Warrior.
Despite the fact that there hasn't been a new Dragon Warrior game in awhile, there always seemed to be a market for its collectibles such as plush toys, Manga, subbed anime, soundtracks, and even just the original NES cartridges.

Hmm... Looks like this site has been pushed down to the 6th spot when you type in "enix proboards4." Just last week or so, I used the "I'm feeling lucky" button to get here, now I have to either be more specific or go through another page before getting here. That sux.

Yeah... Anyway, I've been going on a diet lately, trying to lose 10lbs. It'll help make my workouts more endurance based than sheer power, and it'll also help with my speed.
I lost 5lbs. so far in only 2 weeks, but it won't be as easy for the next 5. I'm not using any real tricks, just plain old eating restrictions: 1000 calories a day. Hasn't been at all that tough, but I had to give up the basic meal times (breakfast, lunch, dinner) for light snacks every hour or so, just so I don't feel tired as when I do when I eat large meals.

Band tournament today... We sucked... I hate sucking... It just wasn't focused, and people were making really dumb excuses. I gave it my all and I made mistakes too. If you look on the upside our group got the best music score out of all the 3A bands. We just had the lowest marching score by tons of points... *sighs* I really do hate sucking...
