I'm sooooo excited because I met my new voice teacher today.

I explained to him that I wasn't sure how far my voice could take me, but that I wanted to push it to the limits and see where things went.

So he saw where I was headed, and he just said, "Look, if you don't have what it takes, I'll tell you. It'll just be my opinion, but if I think you don't have the dedication or the vocal chops to make it anywhere, I'll tell you straight out."

FINALLY. Geeze.

He said that he's just bluntly honest, and that I'll probably hate him soon enough, but that at least I'll know what he really thinks. Which is fine by me... I ended up almost hating my last voice teacher (as a teacher) because she wasn't getting me where I wanted to go and because she wouldn't TELL me things.... so if I hate this guy, whatever... I just want to see where he can get me.

I hope I can handle it

. I think I can... it may not be fun, but hey... I'm willing to try anything for the sake of progress.

Me: Well... I haven't got my opera face on right now.

LOL. Customers tend to have some crazy stories. So do some cashiers I know...

Actually, so do some Help Desk.. people. I don't know what I am, technically.

But recently, they put a film on the inside of the windows in our building which makes them one-way windows. From the outside, it just looks like a mirror, but it's on a building, so you know it's a window.

Randomly today, this guy comes up to my boss's window and starts grooming himself. He was combing his beard! It was SO funny! We just sort of watched him.. and laughed really hard. He walked off, then came back to ask us a question about where something is (our downtown square is REALLY confusing). It was great!

Acalewia · 08-26-2008, 08:25 PM

LMAO! That was priceless.

Midge · 08-26-2008, 08:27 PM

No kidding, we all were laughing! We actually turned away from our computers for a few minutes!

sisterandcousinandaunt · 08-26-2008, 09:17 PM

Chocolate. Every region has some.

We have a local chocolate shop...most places I've lived have had one. people just need to find the good ones.

So...fancy chocolates.

I like creams and caramels, myself. Hate anything with fruit middles.

Acalewia · 08-27-2008, 05:07 PM

oh me, too! That's what I hate about the boxed chocolates we sell at valantine's day. Half of them are filled with cream that's supossed to be fruit flavored, but taste awful. Give me carmel or chocolate filled or solid anyday.

Finnish Fazer chocolate is great... with whole nuts in it... ahhh. Damn, now I want chocolate!

Me wants it...

Nah, I've had too much (wait, that's not possible

) candy past few weeks. 4tunately, we had to make up sports programs for ourselves if we took gym this year. I don't really have much endurance...

Midge · 08-27-2008, 09:16 PM

My grandma likes the ones with REAL cherries in them.

Whew.. figuring out a game thread is hard work!

I don't want to read the text for my Communications class, but I guess I will. I'd rather read Harry Potter. It's no way to start off the semester, blowing off readings from what's probably the easiest part of the book, though...

**Mari** · 08-28-2008, 03:24 AM

I start with Psychology, Pedagogy and Communication Techniques next week. Of course I still have to buy the books

I'm kinda looking forward to it, but I'm not entirely sure how I am going to survive the entire year with those people. Though I'm sure they are very nice in their own right. Just gotta get used to all those social people of the scary type around me

Amael · 08-28-2008, 09:44 AM

My sister starts college again, just a few days from now. All in all, it's been a rather chaotic month, or 2. I got started with the Rpg once again, the Long Lost Leaves one. I added a short post that should suffice humour-wise for now. I noticed my husband's extremely long post and never got to read it. It looked more like narration than anything, and he is a good narrator, just long-spoken.

I've been trying to get my sister back on here but she's been pretty busy with transferring to annother university and she ended up in late registration for courses, but fortunately she got what she wanted for courses. She's been pulling a lot of work lately, with helping me start a new site and spending time on visiting the new university. I really like the new place she's going to, and I think she'll do well there. Fortunately she won't have to take money from Josh or my grandparents for dormitory expenses.

The place already seems emptier even before Josh's vacation ends and Mandy goes to college. It's that deep calm before the ... even deeper calm.

Our first year together, Josh and I, would have started off a lot better if not for all of these distractions in the way. Hopefully things will cool off a little and that deeper calm will bring Josh and I together a little more, without all the little stuff in the way in between.

If you live in your parents' house or a dorm, you have no idea how lucky you are.

Funny thing is, my parents say they're lucky to have me still at home as often as the reverse.

**Mari** · 08-28-2008, 10:16 AM

I hope it will. ^_^

**Mari** · 08-28-2008, 05:12 PM

What Gwai said.

Besides, when we had a leak last week I had to get it sorted out because I was the one who wasn't working. The person who doesn't work, does the household stuff. Though as you say I don't have to worry about the mortgage or the bill for the repairs.

***Varnafindë*** · 08-28-2008, 06:41 PM

Yay, there is a Narnia trivia thread here!

*has already posted in it*

Varnafindë was born in Narnia - her parents had stumbled through a portal - so she should know all about Narnian history

There's a whole sub-section of forum devoted to C.S. Lewis. However, not very many people post in it. I'd love to see more people do so.. I LOVE C.S. Lewis. However, it's not very neat to post in a thread where you're the only one. Anyway.
