Yes, Computers can be addicting but you need exercise... If you like basketball(like I do) get a basketball and a hoop and start shooting shots. It helps with your reflexes and hand-eye coordination.  if you like sports that is... And February to June is 4 months, not 5, that would be July... 2 to 6...

Oh, sorry about the month confusion. I'm not quite awake yet - it's pretty early where I live. There aren't any sports I enjoy, I'm afraid, so basketball is out of the question.

What we can agree on is that our brains are 'wired' differently than 'normal brains. my Asperger's (which is defined as Pervasine Developmental Disorder or PDD) derives in part to due with my prematurity. I was born 4 months premature and weighed 1.5 pounds, and my body had not fully developed. I am very lucky to be in as good a position as I am now, It would be a lot more difficult for me, if I was merely average in intelligence...

I was born prematurely, too. Five months premature. I don't know how big I was, but I only weighed one pound, 11 ounces, and...I looked like a fish somewhat; I didn't have any ears, I was bright crimson, and I had webbed fingers. But I do have scars from when they hooked me up to this machine that aided me in breathing but blew up a lot of my alveoli...which I don't really mind, but I have a much lower lung capacity then normal people, which becomes troublesome during a class in physical education.

What has allowed me to compensate for my anti-social tendencies is my intelligence. Asperger's is a disease where the person has high cognitive ability but limited or retarded social interaction.   As I have matured I have become sloghtly more comforytable in social situations, but I am still more comfortable being by myself...

Yep, I'm aware of that. Same deal with me. Recently me and my dad went to New York to get my brain scanned, and it turned out my brain had the Ring of Fire makeup - it was overracting and hyper sensitive. My dad says I'm a fantastic writer, but I fail most of the time in Math and History. I'm not quite sure how high, average, or below is intelligence is from the norm, though.

I Have Asperger's myself, But i have found that I have been able to subsititute virtual interaction for regular intereaction. In a way, you can be more open when chatting online than you can while in public.  If you wish, you can send me a pm, and I can tell you a little more about myself...

I agree with you, Nick - since the people on the Internet don't have to talk face-to-face, it's a lot easier to be more open. I've always had trouble reading non-verbal ques and interpreting facial expressions.

The Link is at the top of the page where it says "affiliates" The LBT Forum is the one on the right...

Thank you.

You wrote that song in two hours? Jeez, that's pretty good.

Actually, I wrote it at 2 AM, in about 1/2 hour.  but it actually wasn't that much work.  If you saw the source data for it, it isn't all that complex.  But LoL thank you for the compliment!  I shall keep working on LBT music in the future!

Do you plan on doing a MIDI for any other of the Land Before Time songs?

You bet! B)

So far I've done:
Adventuring
Always There
Bestest Friends
Lone Dinosaur
No One Has To Be Alone
Peaceful Valley


I plan to eventually make MIDIs of all the LBT songs, though this will be a long time before it happens.  I work on my MIDIs very carefully, by ear, all manually.  It takes a lot of time to do well.

The great things about MIDIs is that they're easy to share, and they contain ALL of the data needed to play the song.  A MIDI can be opened up in any MIDI editing program, and all of its contents can be viewed.  A person can then print the MIDI file as sheet music, and learn to play the song at home. B)

http://www.noteworthysoftware.com
Download Noteworthy Player Viewer from this site if you ever want to see the sheet music of MIDI files.  Just load the MIDI into this program and BAM!  It's all there. B)

I mean, I know I'll never be able to do something like that, especially at two in the morning.

If you ever have Any questions on MIDI files or digital audio, feel more than free to ask me about it. B)

Ah...in HALF an hour...ack, I misread. I'll be sure to download the rest of the MIDIS. And okay. I'll be sure to ask you if I have any questions.

Wierd, I have Aspergers too!  

Oh! Goodie!

...

Well, 'goodie' meaning just the fact that I found someone else who has it, not that you have Asperger's.

Oh, and action9000, thank you for replying to my topic, too. Wow, suddenly this place seemed to spice up with activity! In any case, I agree with you, on A Very Important Creature being a nessisary song. And from what I remember, yeah, Cera's character does change a little bit. Which is kind of sad. Oh, and I already looked at your site. And downloaded the tribal version of Always There...and the midi of Lone Dinosaur - I quite liked that.

First I must start by saying that I'm not a huge fan of the Land Before Time franchise. I thought the original movie was a bit too fast-paced, and most of the sequels were flat, dry, and rather childish. But that's not to say I don't have my favorite moments, songs, and characters. So I might as well start by listing them.

Favorite Characters:
The Rainbowfaces from the Stone of Cold Fire, Sierra, Rinkus, Pterano, and Ducky. As you can see I rather liked movie #7. Now, as to why...
I liked the Rainbowfaces because we know absolutely nothing about them. Currently I'm writing a fan fiction with them as the main characters. Any ideas, however, would be appreciated - my dad suggested it not be a LBT fiction, and for it to be sort of an alternate world where the dinosaurs didn't die out, and it interests me, but then that kind of ruins the Rainbowfaces...being the Rainbowfaces. In any case, the two expressed opposing personalities (the female Rainbowface is a strict rule-enforcer, hates to break the rules, is skeptical, and likes to explain things and express her knowledge, whereas the male is considerate of other's well being to the point where he would break a law to help someone in need, easily excited, creative, perceptive, and encouraging).

The Pterosaurs. Wow. I'll need to watch the movie again (haven't seen it in about a year), but I think Pterano's song told a whole lot about all three of them. Sierra was headstrong and disobedient from the start, but then is when we really realize that he has no qualms about . I'm currently completely blanking out on the movie at the moment. >_< But yeah. Rinkus. The bumbling, easily confused flyer who has a much darker, craftier side...

And, erm, Ducky. Well I have to like one of the main characters, don't I? I don't really know why I like her, to be honest. She's just cute and brave and cool. Cera's a close runner-up, though.

Favorite Songs: not in order
"Kids Like Us"
"Lone Dinosaur"
"Very Important Creature"
"Eggs"

Okay. Now that we got that over with...um...hi?
