As many as your mom lets me.

I haven't been into video games in a while. I was majorly into everything pertaining to Zelda, but I find most new games to be too demanding and generally overwhelming. Every couple years, I'll buy a new incarnation of FIFA (I think I have FIFA 11), and play it until it's easy on the hardest setting, and then get pissed at myself for not going outside and playing soccer for real, so I do that instead and realize how much more fun life is when I'm not staring at glowing rectangles all the time.

No. I mean, maybe. It would be a little bit weird if you got it on your face or on the sole of your foot.

The first thing you should do is make an appointment to see your doctor. Make sure that they understand what it is you want to discuss and stress that it's an emergency. That being said, stay calm--there are a lot of things you could be feeling and it doesn't necessarily mean that you have a tumor, let alone a cancerous one. If your doctor is concerned, they will order an ultrasound, at which point you will know precisely what's going on with you. The most important thing you can do is deal with it immediately. If it is, indeed, testicular cancer, and you detect it early, then you have a high likelihood of being cured with a very minor surgery.

Bullies and bullying in general come(s) in a multitude of forms. If somebody is physically threatening you or hurting you, then involve an authority figure. I don't recommend adopting movie logic and punching them in the face, because you probably suck at fighting. The only people who don't suck at fighting are criminals and sociopaths (in the real world, skill and strength has little to nothing to do with who wins a fight--it has everything to do with being generally psychotic or inebriated).
If you're being bullied emotionally, then realistically, people are preying on your insecurities. If you love yourself--truly have respect and security in who you are--then there's nothing anybody can say to hurt you. If anything, it speaks volumes about the sort of person who takes time out of their day to make others feel like shit. I understand that the time spent in school are some of the most awkward in your life, but the truth is that the real world is a tremendous equalizer. -
I'm not really sure why Kerli being talented would make it difficult for me to be friends with her. Quite oppositely, I reserve my friendship for people that I respect, and I respect her unequivocally. Actually, the majority of my friends are not artists--they're just people who I wholly respect. I don't have any innate desire to surround myself with creative types.
And if it's your assertion that I don't do anything creative, I don't see why it would affect my interpersonal relationships with those who do. Not everybody strives to be an artist and is harboring jealousy towards those who are. -
I don't think the monetary units matter if you pay with a card online, however, if you google "Vespertine - The End of the World Suite," it should return loads of international music store results. =p

Thank you! It's certainly been a nutty period of time, however, I'm overwhelmed at how much people genuinely care about my well-being and how positive the response to the album has been.

I don't know. Are you probable?

...Give or receive what? There is an alarming gap in this line of questioning. I can only assume that I'm supposed to say "it's better to give" because I'm meant to think of this in terms of gifts, and such an answer would paint me in a positive and philanthropic light, however my instinct is to think in terms of kicks in the teeth, in which case, philanthropist or not, giving is the only logical choice--and in fact, it's almost not worth asking the question in the first place. It may as well read, "would you like me to kick you in and about the teeth?," to which any reasoning person would respond--"no thanks--but I'll gladly do you the favor if that's what tickles your happy parts."

I do indeed bite my nails, but I can assure you it has nothing to do with nervousness. For starters, I like it. It's a tremendously satisfying sensation. I like to bite things--I don't think I ever truly stopped teething. If I'm holding an object and performing an unrelated task for any significant length of time, the object will invariably end up chewed to shit. Additionally, I find nail clippers to be both unwieldy and inaccurate.
Playing piano and guitar becomes tremendously difficult when my nails are long, and they need to stay neatly trimmed--why carry about some awkwardly designed hunk of metal when my body has stuffed my mouth full of pearly white nail clippers? I can't imagine why people who bite their nails would do a ragged job of it--I seem to be able to perform adequate manicures that way.
However--color me intrigued. I would love to see these videos of me appearing nervously in the background. -
Aww, thanks so much! I love you more. =)

Half of The End of the World Suite is comprised of material that I heard in dreams, and the other half is a soundtrack to a series of paintings by one of my favourite artists, Sixio. "With a Heavy Heart" was composed as a reflection on the atmosphere of the attached painting.
And yeah, I live for dynamic, textured, atmospheric music. There are lots of post-rock elements in my own, but it's hard for me to delve into it completely because of my absolute reverence for Sigur Rós. I think what they've done, especially on albums like "Unitlted" and "Takk," is so perfect that it would be sacrilege to attempt to go down the exact same road. -
Thank you! There are a few tracks that feature additional guitars by Richard Jazmin.

That's wonderful to hear. I can't wait to finish and release the second album already--especially now that I've been granted a second opportunity to do so. =)
