Counting to 1,000,000

172,020
hopefully haven't messed up the count.

I remember those as well.
Well, at least for me I don't find them 'strange' but my mom says they are,, what she considered strange but not for me.
"DMV" by Primus, I love that song so much, I don't find it strange myself.
"Rock You" by Helix, my mom laughs at the cheerleader like chorus, yet I don't find it strange
 "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" the Twisted Sister version, my mom says that rock music and holiday Christmas tunes don't mix together that well. For me, it's my most favorite of all Twisted Sister songs.
there where a few more I can't remember the name of. 
Also the entire 'Death Metal' genre my mother not only finds strange but so 'annnnoying' she says it's bad music with the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street trying to sing. That comment always makes me laugh.

Hopefully nothing bad, you might enjoy a few other 'games' open in the forums here.  To bring more life and hopefully encourage others to join us.

172,020 got counted twice, but I just skipped ahead to 172,022

I love the cookie Monster comparison! I always knew he was a metal head!

Yeah, I've seen a few more forum games recently. I think the flag quiz probably should've been in the games section too. My bad!

its easy to check count when you have normal vision, just a number after the main posted one, since the very first reply  doesn't have a number.
When you have zero vision, trying to scroll back up is a pain in the neck, and trying to remember the number can be annoying or easily forgotten when thinking of a reply along the way.

Change it from music only.  Any other interesting topic to mention while counting.
Since every post has to have at least two words in them.t

Have any of you done any art beyond the visual or literature  ? Maybe films or so

I've tried my fair share of making little songs on musescore (i mainly just learn sheet music though) and stop motion animations

Sorry there Wuff Wuff, I only played the drums for about two weeks, but didn't get the chance to be pro, was it fun though, but didn't get the chance to record them.

In school, did do a 'music video' style project, and it turned out horrible, as the music wasn't my choice at that time, not only did the quality was bad for 2002 standards, oh my goodness was I embarrassed.

Oh Ves  scores for piano? Do you still have them? Also did you use clay for stop motion?  sounds hard to do

Firox, no need to be sorry! Sounds like you had to suffer quite a bit from that music video. I think we all have those moments of embarrasment. I did short films with my friends from school, they were funny for all the wrong reasons *giggles* I did a film using only toys too, which had the poorest use of the English language in it (I've still got difficulty with collocations to this day).
Later, more mature I guess you could say, I had the vision of doing another film with toys, using strings to make their limbs move, building little set pieces, composing and recording the score, voicing every character and doing all the filming and editing myself. Needless to say the mountain was too high  I've now started a film project with a friend  I'm quite pumped to finally be doing something like this.

That sounds amazing, I was terrible with clay projects in school.
Then again back in my school days, I was more into Geography, History, and was getting into metal music, so in a way lots of stuff didn't caught my attention back then, barely passed my 'uninterested' classes with very low grades.

Sadly these days for me most of my school subjects are becoming/are "uninterested" ones - all except computer science and media. (maths and sciences i do enjoy but i find it hard to be motivated to try in them  )

I always found it tough to remain fully interested in everything the school tries to cram into ones head  especially since you never seem to need everything of it. But I also can't deny the almost romantic idea of being scholarly 

I guess as long as you pass them thats good enough  you can always go more deeper later on in life if they become more interesting and useful

So true, my least favorite of all classes was  one called 'English"
most of it was reading books, and poetry, and answering boring questions or making projects related to the books.  Most of them where just boring books that never caught my attention. Having to read it all was torture, for me just reading a single page took hours of nodding off and trying to stay awake.

Just like mentioned,  it was  not staying inside of my mind at all. 

So kind of funny that 'english' class wasn't about learning English but reading oh so boring books.  Some schools call it  "Language Arts"

[Wuff-Wuff]

Oh Firox, you accidentally skipped 172,031, so I'll make mine the same as yours

172,032

I got lucky with most books we had to read  but mainly we only read books in German classes. Stuff like Hermann Hesse, Friedrich Dürrenmatt, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Franz Kafka and such. I did read a lot of "classics" from English Literature as well, though I don't know if any are considered school literature; Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, 1984, Animal Farm, A Brave New World, Catcher in the Rye, Heart of Darkness, I have No Mouth and I must Scream, they were pretty neat in my book (pun intended) 

[Ves]

172,033

Oo I read I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream recently! Very ,well, existentially  horrifying

I agree with you Firox - English is my least favourite subject too - barely makes any sense to me and I’m really not a words type of person.

sorry on skipping the number, kind of hard to remember without being able to easily scroll up to see the previous numbers, it's much harder without the aide of vision or able to use the usb mice.

Thanks, also majority of the books mentioned along with another something in title to Beowulf,  where annoying to read, and having to keep up with them, discuss them in class, when the book ended, we had to do a verbal opinion on the book itself using examples in the book such as quotes or events. 
That to me was the most boring of all classes. 

To this day, aside from R.L. Stine, not much into reading, even if I have a machine that reads back books, I rarely use it.

oh, and Wuff Wuff if you gets to read this, will get to the PM later on  today, or my Tuesday.  Sorry on short delay.

@Ves: it's sooooo messed up that book! The dedication towards discribing dispair, hopelesness and hatred is intense! Do you also know "a boy and his dog" from the same author  ?

@Firox ah man, yeah, being forced to rush through them and then having to do all that analytical work... it does suck. Old texts like Beowulf too are so hard to read! I started with the King James Bible, it being one of the most important pieces of literature in the Western World, but ended up watching videos describing the Bible because the English used was so exhausting.
