That was also partially my fault because the owners did put a note on my car asking to not park it there. I just left it alone for 2 weeks, shoulda at least checked. Lessons learned. Could've been a lot more $$ if they towed it earlier
it's the same day as i'd gotten revels tickets for. grf. selfishly i'd be tempted to ask if any of the muir woods group would feel like singing christmas carols if i brought up my christmas carol books. but i think the likelihood of that is low. i don't know why, but somehow i was raised in a culture that had carol singing as a deep part of it, but none of the furs i know have that part.
19:16
the furs i visited in texas were really nice and agreed to do it with me, and that felt good. and one of them made the comment that it reminded him of his childhood. so i know it taps into something. i know i'm not the only fur who has those cultural associations. but i guess it's something most furs stopped doing at a certain age? maybe?

how so? you mean the "used to" part? was it something you lost interest in at some point?
D?

No, I just graduated lol. But it did encourage me to practice vocals at home, or in private spaces since I wasn't that keen on taking up singing until after I joined a choir since you're basically singing in a group, so the attention isn't solely on you.
T
19:26
Tamino
i think a lot of people like that attention. like karaoke. or people like my brother who plays guitar and is a pretty talented singer-songwriter but who doesn't do the "hey, let's everyone sing bob dylan songs, i'll play guitar". he wants the spotlight to be on him.
19:26
but i don't like that. it's a bonding thing for me. joining my voice in with the whole.

But I wouldn't really consider myself good, since I still tend to experiment using different keys or styles whether it be clean or unclean. I tend to lean more toward the latter, because growling is fun

i'm not "good" either, but "good" isn't really the point, for me.

there's just this feeling of togetherness, and it happens with playing in an orchestra too. you're caught up in this... SOUND... that you're all making, and it's one of those "bigger than the sum of its parts" things.
I would like doing the same. Just invite a bunch of people over to go camp in the woods whilst singing Jimmy Eat World songs around a campfire. Acoustic in hand

Teachers kept complaning that I kept holding the bow for the violin incorrectly

Plus, the last time I played in a Orchestra, The Band were way too loud to the point of you can't even hear the violins, viola, cello, or double bass
T
19:36

i played violin too. i sucked. i just wanted to have fun, but my teacher wanted me to get good, and i didn't want to get good, i just wanted to have fun, and i sucked, and the whole thing was a mismatch.
19:36
what were your favorite pieces when you did play in the orchestra, starforce?

Oh and I was also sitting next to a saxaphone so I had to wear some earplugs

otherwise I'd probably go temporarily deaf

"You see," said Mozart, "it goes alright without the saxophone. Although to be sure I shouldn't wish to tread on the toes of that famous instrument."
S

There was like six 1st violins, four 2nd violins, 2-4 violas, and two of each cello and double bass

He said he would get me something for my birthday and he would've been the first person in my life outside of family to get me a b-day gift . . . but he failed to.
There is kind of a shortage of employees for retail/food/fast food because everyone wants to be in a tech company (which is one of the reasons my family wanted me to give up on being a programmer so badly)

you can't pay the rent with a minimum wage job in san francisco, and who wants to commute from antioch to flip burgers?
That seems right. You have to make a certain amount of money to work in SF because you have to either be able to afford the rent there or have enough money to drive 2 to 3 hours in from outside the city every day.

When you remake a bad movie, hoping to fix it's errors only to make it even worse, then you know you've failed as a filmmaker
intentionally seeking to make others mad is problematic behavior that should not be indulged. i understand that base level of endorphins gained from it, i spent my entire childhood trolling on the internet so i am not going to judge you or your character, but you should seek to be aware when you are intentionally trying to make others feel negative emotions and correct that behavior

I prefer older horror films that focus more on elements like suspense, tension and atmosphere-building. Nowadays it seems like most "horror" films resort to nothing but cheap jumpscares

As a child it was the psychological torment that got me. The scenes where the victim would think they were not in a dream but them something nightmarish would happen.
Lol as a kid I had nightmares about the movie Independance Day, but my little brother put on Halloween 6 back in October and wasn't bothered by it at all xD
Except it's not that I'm afraid of sharing them directly, it's just that I already have this great repository of n00ds and don't want to share every pic individually

Psychology was an impossible class for me. The first time I took it my teacher didn't believe in stupid questions so my classmates took advantaged and spent every class asking about sex.
Then the second time I took Psychology my teacher assigned my homework AND made them due during my work shifts
Sometimes I wish we could just reset the school system, give teachers an incentive to finally care about their students AND punish the bad teachers (that apparently don't exist according to everyone else)

Lesson learned: Don't even think about trying out the Grindr app
Consider its purpose. It's meant for men who can't find anyone to have sex with to find people to have sex with. So of course it's bottom of the barrel.

You can also put more in your profile than grindr and there are better search features on there

The problem I have with apps that find you people to have sex with nearby is that the people you find are always disgusting and/or fucking crazy. Which is fine I guess if you're just looking for an anus to use as a fleshlight.
BW
13:35
Brownie Wotter
Narrowing the selection in these kind of apps is usually a good thing as long as it doesn't result in basically nobody on there

Because as they say with grindr "the odds are good but the goods are odd"
S
13:35
StarForce/Kaiser🐯🐲
Well, that's if you are craving sexual intercourse at the moment

13:36

I usually talk to them though on grindr, try to get to know them a bit as a person. And that filters out the disgustingness because disgusting people can't converse
13:36
Plus I don't do pure hookups anyways, I at least want to be friends if we bang
Mɹ
13:36
Majik ɹɐǝq
Also it's not really for me because the idea of picking up a random stranger and then immediately putting my dick in them is terrifying to the point that I can't get an erection.
13:37
And also because the guys you tend to find on Grindr have so much sex that to them having sex is like picking up a burger at mcdonalds or going to the bathroom, it's just a mindless event they want to get over with.
Come to think of it I don't think I've ever actually gone through with a hookup.

Idk sometimes it just slips and everybody gets kind of riled up and it's kind of hard to tell a big group of people to stop and expect it to stop instantly.
That is something I need to do. Unfortunately though given what happened to me not too long ago I sometimes find the need to complain about why I am disappointed in both sides.
