Writer's Block: Musically inclined

despair

Do you play a musical instrument? For how long?

View 817 Answers

The first instrument I played was the piano. I was four years old when I started, and I quit when I was in the second grade. I never did learn to love it. My second instrument was the cello. I was in the fourth grade. I played until...well, I never really quit. I used to take private lessons until I was in the seventh grade, and I learned how to play the flute from sixth grade to eighth grade when I learned my middle school didn't have an orchestra, so I might as well help the band improve, right? Ugh, it was horrible. Wearing band uniforms during the summer and marching for thirty streets in a row is just sheer torture, although I am so glad I was never in drumline or playing the tuba or monstrosity of the sort.

During the time I was in the school band, my teacher made me help him teach his regular class students with string instruments-so I know the basics of tuning/playing/reading music for the violin, contrabass, viola, and obviously, the cello. He also made me learn the oboe (so I could fill in the spot of the recently graduated oboe player) but I never enjoyed it. But I know how to play it, when the time comes.

We have three guitars at home-classical guitars, although my sister recently got herself an acoustic guitar and I'm going to have to learn that, I don't have a chord diagram on my bedroom wall for nothing-and I learned how to play basic scales and chords from my sister. But to be fair, I never really was motivated.

Well, so...um, a shitload of instruments in my life, and I can probably get the basics down in about an hour because of the amount of time I spent slobbering over all these instruments that I saw and played with. Oh, and if you count the bass guitar-I do know how to play it, it's actually pretty simple-it's more fun. But my main instrument is the cello-I have one in my closet right now, but I need to repair it because the string broke as I was tuning it. Played it from age nine to now. :)

Writer's Block: Best book ever!

Is there any book you can read over and over again without ever getting sick of it? Do you discover something new every time you read it?

Writer's Block: Change is good

despair

If you could change one major thing about your life, whether a relationship, your job, your living situation, your school, etc., what would it be? Are you currently working toward a serious life transition?

No, not really, unless you count high school as a "door to change and beyond!" since it's sure as hell not doing anything for me. :3

But I want to change my living situation. And probably my laptop. ;o;

Writer's Block: Last supper

despair

If you had one night left to live, what would you do? Would you prefer to spend your final night with a loved one or alone? What would you choose for your last meal?

The last meal is hard.

But of course I won't die by myself! I'll die on the computer. Those are two distinct, completely different things. :3

Writer's Block: Relive in the moment

despair

If you could relive one hour of your life so far, what would you choose and why? Would you do or say anything different? How do you think it would change your life?

I want to not say the things I did.

There are so much regrets that I have based on my statements or my actions; I want to erase them and redo them.

the asserter? you lie.

Me, huh...
If it was me when I was a bit more rabid, then I would've said something like: "I WOULD GO TO AN AUDITION. YEAH. :D"
but I'm too normal. Err?
Right...?
D:?
I'd write a novel. And send it to some random editor.
Since I won't fail, right? :3

Nakahara Mai - Dear you -cry-
Makino Yui - Symphony
Makino Yui - Sketchbook wo Motta Mama
