Oh, hehe! ^^;;
Well, for some reason, your name sounds familiar. Is that your real name?
What does a funeral home director do, exactly? I mean, it's probably just how it sounds, but what do you direct? Am I making any sense? *sheepish*

ElendarSilvermoon 11-04-2007 03:59 PM

Majoring in music here. It's slow go with college right now since I need to work and I have a hard time keeping up in my classes (I can't sit down for hours a night doing homework without getting insanely depressed or just getting up and doing something else) so I'm taking my classes at a slower pace.

secretdae007 11-04-2007 03:59 PM

I should choose my major soon... I'm currently in as undeclared but I'm thinking of going into marketing/advertising. Of course, the social aspect is what I'll need to work on, I think it would be a good choice for me ^^

darkvineyard 11-04-2007 04:02 PM

@ElendarSilvermoon - What kind of music are you majoring in, exactly?

@secretdae007 - What part of marketing/advertising interests you? ^^

ElendarSilvermoon 11-04-2007 04:07 PM

I'm actually focusing on music composition. Not really any instrument I'm focusing on at the current moment, I'll probably focus on percussion or piano if I do though.

darkvineyard 11-04-2007 04:20 PM

What is music composition?
What do you want to do? Compose music? Play for an orchestra?

I'm currently working for my Masters Degree but for both undergraduate and graduate degrees I am Computer Science with a specialization in Computer Securities.

If I decide to get my PhD, I'll probably end up researching encryption techniques.

darkvineyard 11-04-2007 04:34 PM

Ooh, sounds like something top secret. *gasp* You could work for the FBI! o: Haha, just kidding! ^^ What does researching encryption techniques entail?

No, it's not my real name! Haha! Not even close, actually! :D
A Funeral Home derector would bring the bodies to the morgue. Work on them to make them look nice for their barriel, talk with the family and loved ones(help them through their lose) and then help plan the funeral itself!

darkvineyard 11-04-2007 04:40 PM

So where did you get the name from? Because I think I've heard or have seen it somewhere.
Oh, okay. ^^

nike13 11-04-2007 04:42 PM

@darkvineyard
Actually, I have applied for the FBI and CIA before ^^ Didn't get accepted though for a few things that I'll just have to work on. I do hope to teach actually in the whole secret agent thing doesn't work out.

Researching encryption is basically finding new ways to either hide a person's messages or to see a person's hidden messages ^^ It involves a lot of math but really intrigues me. I like the challenge. I could also create a program that would encrypt and decrypt messages through different methods. I have to find a professor first that would want to sponser me.

Spatterdash 11-04-2007 04:42 PM

We don't have 'majors' in the UK, but I'm currently at university studying Politics. Though I am doing elective modules in Sociology and Middle Eastern Studies.

ElendarSilvermoon 11-04-2007 04:43 PM

@darkvineyard: Yes, I want to compose music. I'm tempted to go into film scoring or something along those lines.

darkvineyard 11-04-2007 04:48 PM

@nike13 - That sounds so cool!! >< hahaha
I hope that works out for you! ^^
Oh, I see. Yeah, I actually know about encrypting messages. I've heard about it on TV and in the movies. I'm not very good at math. xD haha

@Spatterdash - I like your name, btw. ^^
Sounds like a lot of work. ^^;

@ElendarSilvermoon - Ooh, that sounds so excting! All I listen to, really is instrumental soundtracks from movies, tv shows, commercials, and video games. I also listen to Rock, Christian Rock, and Soundtracks that aren't all instrumental, but not as much. ^^;;
My favorite composer is Hans Zimmer. I also love James Newton Howard. Do you have any favorites? ^^

I am currently a freshman in college and I am working on my BFA in animation with a focus in traditional animation. :3
I'm not sure what I want to minor in... but I'll figure it out. :3
(probably graphic design)

darkvineyard 11-04-2007 04:53 PM

Animation was my first choice, but I can't draw, so I chose Photography instead. But I love Photography, and I'm good at it, so it all works out! haha
When I first wanted to do animation, I remember thinking that I wanted to do what they do in Shrek, and Scooby Doo (the movie), and I wanted to see my name in the credits. I always wanted to work with movies, and being a Still Photographer for the movies, I will still be able to see my name in the credits! *big grin*
EDIT: I like your art! <3 ^^

Indeed you will! :3
Hahaha, my name will be in one of those BIIIIG blocks of names that nobody sticks around in the theatres to read except animators, people who love animation and those who are waiting to seem if something happens after the credits. XD

darkvineyard 11-04-2007 05:00 PM

(Yay, candy for replying to your post! <3 hahaha)
Yeah, so will my name! And I always stick around for the credits, and I don't leave until they are over! xD hahaha

Midnight Blaze 11-04-2007 05:03 PM

I'm a senior in High School, college is creeping up on me. Dx

I plan on majoring in Graphic Design. I love drawing and I love computers, so I seems to be a good way to incorporate the two. <3

darkvineyard 11-04-2007 05:06 PM

That's what my brother is doing.
What career do you want to pursue for Graphic Design, do you know yet?

Clair Voyant comes from this word

clairvoyance- the supposed ability to percieve things

fuyumi_saito 11-04-2007 05:09 PM

I'm just a freshman at a community college.

I don't think I'll major in anything. Which is a waste of all my good test scores, but I don't care. I plan on becoming a secretary(AKA office assitant), or a baker.

Currently leaning towards becoming a baker. If I do though, I'm going to have to take some business classes. I would like to open my own bakery.. I think it would be fun... Hard but fun ^^

darkvineyard 11-04-2007 05:12 PM

Aha! I knew I read it somewhere! It's a word! xDD
Yeah, I read [i]a freaking lot[i] and I know that it sounded familiar, and now I know why. It's a word that I've read somwhere. xDD
Thanks for clarifying that for me! <3 hahaha *grin*

@fuyumi_saito - Ooh, a baker, nice! I love food! xD haha
I wish you luck with that! It sounds so much fun! haha

ElendarSilvermoon 11-04-2007 05:17 PM

@darkvineyard: Howard Shore and Gary Stadler have a bit of influence on alot of my music. Right now my main influences come from a local renfaire band by the name of Elvendrums and Tuomas Holopainen's work with Nightwish.

darkvineyard 11-04-2007 05:21 PM

I honestly never heard of any of those.
Have they done any music for movies, tv, video games, etc?
EDIT: What is dragonforce?
