Oh lame, I get to fill out some lame questionnaire about the positive things in my life right now. whats a house dean? Either way that sounds terrible and pointless. Haha, maybe that questionnaire will be a good pick me up!

We have a house system at our school (we have like 1400 students) so it's basically split up into 8 houses. We do assemblies/lockers/camps/sports events in house groups generally. A house dean is a teacher who takes up the main administration for that house, kinda like a head of department except for a house.
The one we have now though is a total dick, and for some reason thinks we're best friends so he always expects me/asks me to do stuff in my out of school time to make his job easier.

I'm not looking forward to him asking me to do his admin sh*t all year like last year again.   Is there no way you can get him to dump the work on someone else?

Next year I'm honestly just gonna tell him I have better things to do every time he asks, my parents don't pay school fees/I don't attend to do his work.

I like heavy music. That band just never really clicked with me. a big aspect of music for me is a good melody, and Meshuggah seems based off rythum. Talented musicians though.

I was going to go to school early and beat the traffic but it's too late now, OH WELL.

Hell yeah pkj, just be straight up with him. I hate it when people try to act all nice when you both know better.
Lucky for me when I was in school, I had some alright teachers!

Thats fair enough, Meshuggah is giving my picking hand a really good work out though. Cool a fellow guitar player! I don't think I'm skilled enough to play along with that though! I'm gettin there, I'm gettin there..

Yeah, he makes it seem like he thinks he's doing me a favour by asking me to help him out. My school also makes it compulsary to do about 50% more classes in year 11 and 12 and we get about half as much study time, and he always asks if I can come do stuff for him in the little study time we get. Never gonna do it

I used to find Meshuggah super hard to listen to, although I've grown to quite like and respect a lot of their stuff. They are definitely rhythmically based (even the vocals are very non-melodic and percussive nearly all the time).

@Bogg: right now I'm attempting to play the main verse to this (restrung the Schecter today):

Although I can't get the proper picking meldoy right, so I'm playing like half of it

Your choice man; don't you already have that 4x12 (can't remember the specs) slant Bugera cab?
I've pretty much completely changed my mind about an 8, although I definitely want one, I'm probably gonna get an acoustic 6 first + get some recording stuff.

I'm a fan of their album from 2008 (wasn't easy, though), but I haven't tried anything else from them.

You guys are talkative today.
