I know that feeling. I've lived in twelve different places in past twelve years, so I understand the "drop everything and adjust" system. I hope you keep up with the arts into adulthood, though, because an adult choir or orchestra would definitely make the group feeling possible, without making you feel even more isolated just for being one of few serious people. No adult joins a choir or orchestra because it's easy. They do it because they enjoy it.
Hi, thanks for the comment on my journal yesterday. If you still want to check out the page it's right here. I....am new to this so forgive me since there aren't a lot of stuff on right now. But today after school it'll be up and runnning :)
I could never go through that and separate from this school, even as idiotic as some people are here. My mom threatened to move me to Arizona, too, so I was pretty scared that I'd have to. I think it's a good choice to get a personal instructor. In those ways, you know that everyone is serious, but at the same time I'm sorry that you have to miss out on the wonderful feeling of being a part of a group that projects skill and enthusiasm.
The people I've spoken to that are in the advanced choir seem a lot more professional with it in the way they carry themselves and the skills they have, so I trust that it'll be what I'm looking for. I hope that some day soon you can join a choir that takes things seriously so that you can enjoy it, if you're looking to continue singing.
Thanks. I'm glad I could explain this to someone who went to a school for the arts before. I mean, I will admit that I came to this school so that I could be with my best friend, and that I'm mainly a visual and literary artist, but I'm very serious about any type of art, so when these people do this.. I can't help but snap now and then. It's not even healthy. That's why I'm auditioning for the advanced choir. The entire point of it was to separate the people who are there for the music from the ones who are there for an easy A and an arts endorsement.
It's hard to explain. The fact of the matter is that they aren't actually there for the music. They're there for socializing, which is acceptable to a point. It's a very social and lively school. However, when we're in the middle of singing a piece and people are speaking, it becomes quite obvious that they aren't there for the music, nor do they at least hold a level of respect for the art of music, at which point I believe it is [i]stupid[/i] that they'd be in an art school only to make mockery of the arts, and [i]bitchy[/i] that they're holding the rest of us back because we're unable to hear directions through them. They also completely botch our performances. I was one of very few altos actually singing the alto part, and not the soprano part.
I'm sorry to rant about that right here, but I felt I should explain to you why I use the slur [i]stupid bitches[/i] in describing the majority of my choir, whom I simply find no respect for. The minority, I pity.
Referring to your comment on my story Lullaby. It's not supposed to show his feelings. It's first person. You're supposed to understand what he feels not by it telling you but by him telling her: "You are my world" and "I love you" and etc. He's just as blissful as she is. And the love they're making says that.
I'm inspired by what I see around me, but still I dont see where my poams come from. My stories however I can understand cause I am inspired alot by the Spyro games that I grew up with.
