Karmella’s Game: another new song
Now that I’ve finally recorded Karmella’s Game, my lone white whale is …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, whom I’ve failed to record twice. Throughout the KG set I actually found myself really worried that the battery in my mic pack would die, or some other disruption would happen to complete a trifecta of failure, but everything went smoothly. The audio for the new songs even came out decent enough to listen to on my iPod, though as an OCD ID3-tagger I’m loathe to mark something as “unknown new song.”

What are you biggest fears/phobias?
My biggest fears/phobias would have to be:
*Spiders (Arachnophobia) - I think that they are the creepiest and ugliest things ever. The way they just sit on a wall and stay there as if they are searching for prey is just downright creepy. Also, whenever you try to catch them or kill them, they run away SO fast! I just find them so creepy. I literally quiver when I think about spiders.
*Snakes (Ophiophobia) - I know they are an important part of the eco-system but I just can’t find myself to like snakes. The way they slither in bushes and in the grass is so creepy. I think I have a fear of snakes because some of them can be venomous or poisonous. Also, they look kind of slimy even though they aren’t. I just don’t like them. :/
*Heights (Acrophobia) - I have a huge fearof shock. :[ Because of this phobia of heights. Every time I'm too high up, I get severe vertigo. I lose all sense of myself and I start having panic attacks. I literally go into a state of panic and I can't breathe. Because of this fear, I can't go on any fun rides such as the rollercoaster ride. :/
*Loneliness (Autophobia) - I also have a small fear of ending up alone. I know that sound weird. I may not always be sociable but I really do fear not having anyone to turn to whether it's family or friends. The thought of having nobody at all scares me alot. :/
*Needles (Belonephobia) - This is a pretty common fear, a fear of needles or injections. When I got my ears pierced, I cried so hard before getting it done. The jeweler had to give me insense just so I could calm down and get on with the ear piercing procedure. I also HATE getting shots. And I've despised them ever since I was a kid.
*Failure (Atychiphobia) - And finally, another fear I have is failure. I have failed some time in the past but I definitely do everything in my power to avoid failing in anything that I do. But I do realize that there is a positive side to failure. Failure can equal success. Because of failure, you can learn from your past mistakes and never make them again in the present and in the future.
So, what are you fears/phobias? And have you ever done anything to overcome them? Are your phobias extreme, moderate or small? Put your signs too! :]

i share your phobia of spiders - they are way tooo hairy and if they are not hairy then they are all spindly - i mean how can such a large body be suspended with such tiny thin legs. And they have way too many legs its horrible.
I also have a fear of (dont know wat this is called sorry) vommitting blood. Its sounds really wierd i know but i never want to throw up blood. It would freak me out so bad and you can imagine what it would taste like - eeeeeeeeeew.
I have a phobia of become all alone too, i want a family and a relationship with someone (not that there is anything wsrong with living along or being single all your life just that it is not for me.)_ I need people to talk to, or i’ll end up talking to myself and go mad.
Lastly i have a fear of loosing control of one or more of my limbs (dont know wat this phobia is called). I dont mean getting my legs amputated (though i wuldnt like that either), but sitting around one day and realising that you cant lift your leg up or your hand no matter how hard you try to. I just dont like the idea of becoming immobile.
=D Oh and btw i am aries - Mars (yay the ram)
am i mad? or is it ocd? pls help?
my friends thinks its ocd but im not sure ,anyway i keep doing these stupid things like il lock my back door of my house walk half way down the road then go back and check its locked but then il end up doing it 3 or 4 times is this normal ?or in the middle of the night il randomly get up and move stuff round my room and tidy it up whats that about?im always thinking about the same thing for hours on end too .could it be ocd or am i just a bit mad ,anyone with any answers would be great.
thanks for advice and replys ,the thing with the room is its tidy already and im waking up in the middle of the night to change the room around its killlig my sleep.and i do think to myself if i dont do these things something will hapen to someone in my family or friends i know its weird
I always think about things for ages, and i can’t sleep if something isn’t clean… and if i have to clean something i end up disinfecting it until its sparkling. Its normal to want something clean, but checking something 3 or 4 times sounds a bit ocd, maybe u should try getting some help…
… try getting ur friends to hold u down if u wanna go back and check something and take strong slapping pills so u don’t wake up…
…AND KEEP UR MIND OCCUPIED!!!!!
Scuba Certification - How to avoid having a panic attack?
I decided to take a scuba class and get certified to surprise my husband, he has always tried to get me to do it, but I wouldn’t cause I worried about feeling claustrophobic and having a panic attack or anxiety. I tried the mask on and put my face under the water in the tub and ended up having a panic attack just doing that. Sheesh I want to get past this and be able to do this with my hubby….any suggestions?
"Advice About Scuba Diving
In determining whether a person with anxiety, phobias and panic attacks should be certified as fit to dive, each case should be evaluated on its own merits, including types of drugs required (if any), response to medication and the amount of time free of anxiety and phobia.
Individuals who score high on measures of trait anxiety most probably should not dive, but, if they choose to dive, they should be carefully monitored and fully informed of the risks, with special consideration to one’s decision-making ability and responsibility to other divers. In all cases, prospective divers should fully disclose their conditions and medications to the dive instructor and certifying agency.
They should bear in mind the safety of their potential dive buddies, dive instructors, divemasters and other individuals who are affected by diving incidents. How each diver copes with excitement, emotions and stressful situations are key considerations." - Diver’s Alert Network (a nonprofit scuba diving and dive safety association.)
I think you should work with a therapist first on how to prevent and cope with panic and anxiety. Medication should be a last resort. I personally would not dive with someone on a medication like Xanax but that’s just me.
How to end separation anxiety and playful biting from my dog?
My dog is a lab mix.
We just adopted him a few days ago, and he is 10 months old.
I really wanted him to like me at first, since he was shy - so I lavished him, and made sure he was my first concern.
Now.. when I leave him he crys, barks, everything.
Also my second problem is… my older brother likes to play with him a lot… and that makes my dog all hyper. He starts chewing everything, and when we try to pet him or get near him.. he just tries to bite us. He thinks we are playing.
How can I solve these two problems?
Please help?
Gradually get him used to being left, starting with training him to love the crate or area where he stays, and only leaving for a few seconds at first, building up slowly and gradually to minutes.
Your brother needs to stop playing in ways that overexcite the dog. A lab mix this age can be an easily-hyped-up dog, through no fault of his own.
If need be, have a baby gate between you or tether him to something too heavy for him to move (ONLY WHILE TRAINING!), and approach. That way, if he nips or jumps up, you can simply move away. Repeat until he realizes he gets no attention until he is calm.
This won’t solve the problem on it’s own, though. Get to work teaching him what you *do* want him to do — sit, down, stay, nose-target hands instead of nipping, come when called, get up on a surface, get down off of a surface, fetch, and any cute trick you want to teach.
Use clicker training, work in a limited, boring space at first, then practice all over the house, gradually adding distractions and temptations, to show him that each cue means "do that behavior" regardless of who or what is around.
Continue to reward generously until behaviors are well-learned, then fade out high-value food rewards for lesser ones, then play and toys, and everyday privileges like having the door opened, then praise. Eventually, desired behaviors just become habits, but it takes time and repetition,
Make the training the way you play and interact with your dog — never reward unwanted behavior with attention or contact, and always reward behaviors you want.

New Panic At The Disco Song- Oh Glory WITH LYRICS
This is one of their new songs for their third album. What do you think?
Don’t forget that New Perspective comes out on August 18th.
Lyrics:
If I wake in the morning,
I’ll only need 2 more miracles to be a saint.
Everything I promised everyone I’d be,
well I just Ai-int.
Lately it seems like,
Everybody’s sick,
Everybody’s died.
Build myself a wall up on happy high’s,
Knowing my heart,
Knows my head is lying.
Oh, Glo-ry.. *Fades out*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On June 3, 2009 Pete Wentz posted on his [now private] Blogspot a poem with a couple of lines we recognise from the new Panic! At The Disco demo entitled Oh Glory. At this point it is unclear whether Pete is writing for or with the guys, if its just a borrowed line, or if the song will even make the final cut to the album. Below you will find the original poem as posted by Pete.
Wake up to despise a world I once loved
Why would you bring me in if you knew what youd become
Curse everyone and everything even the sun, Draw the blinds
I want to be tucked in and put back to sleep only like a dog this time
Set the sails
Drop anchor in the middle of a storm
Ive got a conversation
And a bottle to keep us warm
Lets break it on the bow
as it sinks
hummingbird with hammers for wings
the swan doesnt remember the last song it sings
Take what you love most and burn it to the ground
the smoke in the air wont leave me be
All around
Count the embers tell me
They dont look like me
They wont sing to me
If I wake in the morning I only need two more miracles to become a saint
Everything I promised everyone Id be I just aint
Bury me with my friends
At the crossroads of dead end
And oh all my old friends
Oh Yeah I hate them
Why bother make new ones too
Just more for me to lose
Put myself in this prison called life
Got a sentence of a lifetime
But I know the warden is god
And I could get paroled at anytime
the letter begins
Dear old feuds
Dont worry Im headed
Somewhere new
I just hope they let me in the gates
i hope they dont have a calculator to add up all my mistakes
You cant give me any more time than I already have
And then they sent me a postcard from
Wish you were here
Im getting close
The gps says were near
Got a key to a lock that doesnt exist
got a world on my back that i cannot lift
drink the world, til its forgotten about
I never know what Im talking about
Dont care about anybody
But the ones that are gonna carry my coffin
Will my love be the same as I left them
Will my pall bearers be the same as my bestmen?
Tell my friends to forget about becoming famous
Not that it matters this junk is so ed contagious
Losing it and I love being lost
Dad, tell me which is worse
Your last breath in the worst city on earth
Or your last kiss from the lips you were built to love from birth
Im so sick of the neon lights
But every dog will have its day
And when I get mine
Im gonna paint this world gray

Dew-Scented - Rituals Of Time
Dew-Scented
02. Rituals Of Time
My sense is running away now
Contagious indecision outgrowing myself
Puzzled and torn apart I promised disobedience in vain
I can’t control myself, I will not come through
Anxiety, no quarter to be ever found
I seek redemption in a world of no rest
No will, no power, acknowledge weakness sublime
Symbols of descent
Downwards and neverending
Victory of loss
Witness my ceremonial end
And while I breathe I suffocate
Performed rituals of time
Unreleased from these chains
In rituals of time
Essential patterns in a final exchange
Remove the veil, resistance overcome
As thoughts collide then with friction I rise
Born of nothing, eternal rituals of time
Within my self
Extermination
Virtues out of necessity
My life is fading away now
Comforting in dilution
Outdoing the will
Hopeless and broken in I promise disobedience in vain
I can’t control myself, I will not come through
Anxiety, no quarter to be ever found
I seek redemption in a world of no rest
No will, no power, acknowledge weakness sublime
Symbols of descent
Downwards and neverending
Victory of loss
Witness my ceremonial end
My sense is running away now
Contagious indecision outgrowing myself
Puzzled and torn apart
I promised disobedience in norms
