Kyle: you might be in for a surprise… or should I say challenge accepted?
Linda: Good! I’m home! haha
whoah congrats on your upcoming instrument that was quick 
And it’s here! And I have to go to work soon! Curses…
Yay!!
Augh! I always hate that when a new toy (a musical toy, I should clarify) has just arrived. 
Congratulations on procuring yourself a shamisen! I’m so excited for you~! Hopefully you’ll get to play soon. Let us know how your first playing experience goes.
Well, let me just say that I am pretty nifty at plucking the one string that’s on it so far. Haha!
Win! Hahaha~
On a completely unrelated note - Got a nice chuckle from glorious infomercial mishaps.
I don’t know what, but I find it oddly amusing how difficult the actors find wrapping a towel, or frustrated by the pain when they try touching boiling hot noodles. To quote one of them “Is nothing easy?”
That is all. Back to work. 
Haha! They’re weirdly hypnotic. I love them.
“MOOOOOM not pizza, no one likes pizza, it’s never ever good” was a particularly funny one for me.
Caption by me, Alice.
Hi Alice! Nice to see that you’ve found your way to this nice community and to a new instrument! That’s awesome!
I’m not even gonna try to pronounce the name of your city, is it ok if I just say Wuh um um um… ?
Would like you come over to Sweden to have a northern Europe shamisession in July? Me and Grant are planning to hang out a bit in Sweden and Karl is hopefully gonna get visited in Göteborg (yes Karl, I really want to make it before I leave this cold, cold country). I’m thinking we should bring as many people as possible (maybe from Finland, Germany etc) together and have some fun!
More bachido-gatherings!!!
You on??!!!
Wow! That sounds awesome! I’d like to, I’m not going to say definitely yes because July is difficult for me (so much going on!) but I am definitely interested
I think you forgot to mention that i’m tagging along in July… 
Cold, cold country? Göteborg maintains a steady warm weather thanks to all the friendly people here.
aw I wanted to say (again maybe) that I come from the officially sunniest village in austria (Mariapfarr) but how lame does that sound compared to Karl’s heartwarming praise of Göteborg
Graz is cold! Snowy too I mean what the f I was thinking as I spent my vacation days for not feeling like driving around on snow with those slippy cabs well the snow at least might be over now . . .
as for July I can so far only be looking forward to the http://www.airpower.gv.at/ for financial and no vacation days left for the next couple of months reasons a week a bit later should be in the summer mix though . . .
whatever sounds like a(nother) cool gathering up there
