[Izzie's post is audio this time! She's getting a little more lax about the internet safety thing, though she still isn't going to show her face/picture to just anyone]

Am I the only one who's been here a while but still can't believe a lot of the things that happen? Even when I've seen proof?

I'm a child; I'm supposed to have a better imagination than this. It's concerning.

[while so far this girl has been very careful about internet safety-- always using text or audio, never making herself identifiable on video, not revealing her real name or location-- today she's in full view of the camera, sitting on the big window seat in her bedroom and playing her guitar]

[this, of course, means that this post is completely accidental and community-caused]

[she plays a tune for a little bit, every once in a while singing unidentifiable lyrics under her breath-- but when she hits the chorus, she sings a bit louder]

'Cause you had a bad day, the comm is on crack, a new virus hits and throws your life out of whack--

-- No, that sucks.

[that's right community, she's writing a parodied song about this place; have fun with that]

[unfortunately, she seems very distracted-- she strums a few more cords, then groans and stands up, going over to stick her head out of her bedroom door and yell:]

Ma! How do you get rid of tinnicus?

[a woman's voice can be heard in the distance, somewhere else in the house:]

Tinnicus, Iz? Do you mean tinnitus? A buzzing in your ears?

[then the video cuts out]

[the first thing that can be seen on the feed is a hand, moving away from the keyboard after having switched on the webcam]

[most of the rest of the video is taken up by a young girl-- she's standing with her back to the camera, and is close enough that all that can be really seen are her wings (colorful; very funky-looking and patchworked), and a few snatches of blonde hair]

[not much of the room she's in is visible, but if anyone looks closely, it's clearly a girl's cluttered bedroom: clothes, accessories, some toys, a guitar lying on a large semicircled windowseat]

[she stands still for a few seconds, then takes a shaky breath and speaks]

Okay.

I believe you now.

Hi. I'm new to this forum, but the bloggers at musicpro.com said this was a good place to ask for recommendations for music books and stuff. I'm eleven and I've been playing for three years, but I just teach myself. Usually I make up my own songs or figure chords out on my own, but if anyone knows about any good songbooks that I could use for practice, that'd be cool.

Thanks.
