So, I would like to learn how to play guitar, but...
1-I don't want to pay for lessons, but I don't think I can teach myself with any efficiency
2- I don't want calluses, I have nice hands and I don't want to ruin them with rough, thick calluses
And it all looks so confusing
emo
Wow this sounds like a spoiled brat wrote this
I'm not a spoiled brat, honestly

Tuning the guitar is the worst part of playing one, but I guess I'm just terrible at identifying a proper tone.

I played the trumpet in band, so I think I can tune for the most part (with a little help of a tuner ;P) I could use the plastic things, but they probably affect the quality of the playing Did you learn from a teacher or on your own? Is it very hard once you get the hang of it?

Is it very hard once you get the hang of it? Only played it in primary school, where it is/was obligatory in music class. It's a long time ago. It's not really hard to play once you've gotten into it, unless you plan on going for the finger style (or whatever it's called). Though; I guess it's really helpful having a chart or a table of chords while you're learning them.

I don't think there are really any positions at McDonald's where you get to sit down. And all I'm trained to do is cleaning the lobby. I just need to hold out until I can get a real job where I won't be on my feet all day XP
That Jessica girl is like the closest I've come to making a friend in school, but I kind of doubt we'd ever be friends outside of school. The whole idea of even hanging out with someone outside of school is just weird to me. It's been about six years since that's even happened... XD

Jikoniau -Mizu teh Artsi- I agree, I love that quote xDD I like thinking about my crap job like this; 'my current job is paying me through school and other expenses. Once I get through that, I'm going to be glad I worked where I did because it got me to a point where I wanted to be' A great example of taking a job you don't like and putting a positive spin on it! You are often very positive as well it seem, which is a good thing. biggrin I feel as if being positive makes people happier even if the positiveness is faked, which has applied to me before. xD You have to be positive in this day n' age. There's too much crap going on to not be.

*didn't feel like making a thread...* Alright, this is going to sound really stupid... But does anyone have any tips for riding the public transit by yourself? ^^' I'm gonna go visit a friend for a day, and I'll need to take the bus there, something I've never done on my own. We've already agreed to meet up at a mall -public places are always good- but I guess I need some reassurance for the trip down there. ; w;

I think I'm going to use this thread for its original intended purpose by actually sharing a secret that nobody else knows.
It's time that I come to terms with the person I am and the person I want to be.
I am a man, and I want to be a woman.
Not sure why this is, but I'm guessing it has to do with my dad leaving the family and causing me to not have any father figure or male role model growing up, perhaps making me grow up overtime with the deep unconscious notion that women > men, or that femininity > masculinity.
But anyway,
I find I can relate to and connect with female characters far more than males. And when I try to imagine the person I want to be, I imagine a woman. A confident, intelligent, beautiful woman. I can't explain why, but I feel like I shouldn't be a man. I should be a woman.

We've already agreed to meet up at a mall -public places are always good- but I guess I need some reassurance for the trip down there. ; w; The first time is a little scary, but it's really not too bad. Just to feel sure about yourself, know where and what time you'll be getting on and off. You should be able to look this up on the bus website, or in some cases, by Google Maps. Whenever I'm going to a new place by bus, I like to use Google Maps to see what route I'll be taking, then looking for some locations I'll pass so I'd be able to judge how far away I am from my destination. (My bus always tends to call out the bus stop ID right as it passes my stop, so I always look for a specific diner.) Um, know how much it costs/how you'll be paying for your ticket. Digging around in your wallet is just going to hold everyone else up and that may make them a little crabby. I always like to sit away from other people because I really hate it when the entire bus is empty, but some people choose next to me. I really want to just turn to them and ask what they'd do if I pulled out a knife from my backpack. (Not to frighten you, I'm just still annoyed this girl did that to me and made me forget my hat on the bus.) And always remember that asking the bus driver is not a bad thing. They're usually very nice. 3nodding

Today has been a wonderful day for so many people I know, or rather, the announcement of wonderful things from people I know via the medium of facebook. Having had an alright day myself its just made me all the more smiley and happy but at the same time a tiny bit jealous. My boyfriend's brother and his girlfriend are now engaged (after 8 years together), he finally popped the question on Saturday! So engagement card needs purchased!
And one of my university friends is pregnant. I couldn't be more happy for her, she really wanted a little one (hell at one point we discussed how she's need to get pregnant in November 2012 to have the baby right between degrees XD). Personally not a great fan of babies or children but I'm happy for her being happy! Plus means I get to buy baby shower gifts and cards. (And play dirty party games apparently)

I had a dream about him last night where he took me back. Then when I woke up and realized it wasn't real, it was like being dumped all over again.

My nephew is 3. He has low iron so he needed a blood test. My sister sent us a picture, he has the band aid over where they took the blood, a little hospital bracelet, and a lollipop with a huge smile. My first reaction was "Aww he's just like Auntie!"
Edit:
Every single guy I've dated or almost dated is either in a relationship or about to enter one. This includes one marriage, one engaged with a baby on the way, and one dating a girl who has a daughter. Excluding the ex that broke my heart, I really am happy for them. But I'm really friggin jealous too. Seriously the only guy I've had any romantic notion about who's single is my camp crush from when I was 13 which lasted like a week.

Mom hurt her foot a while back and it never healed properly, so it continues to hurt her. Apparently her pain threshold is low, since she keeps on moaning and crying about how it hurts and why can't it be cut off. I've been trying to deal by keeping to my bedroom (which I actually have to myself for this week) and drowning her out with the new series of the Doctor. Not a very good coping mechanism, I know. Unfortunately, I've run out of episodes I haven't watched lately, except those which I really don't like. And I haven't been in the mood to watch the series of the original series. Meanwhile, spring break, was supposed to be restful, but it's been anything but. There's something wrong when it almost seems better to be at school rather than at home. Even that has it's problems, however, since I don't actually have anyone to hang out with there, save my sister and her friends. It's always been a fairly lonely life for me. I've half looked forward to when I'll be able to have an apartment of my own, even though that's at least a year in the future. Yet, I sometimes get frustrated now when the whole family is being silent, each person doing her/his own thing. So what would I do then?
Whewie, run-on block of thoughts.
