chaoswolfGot home from another tiring day @ school. Decided to hop online as usual, see who was on. Neither ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wolfshighpriest or asahoshi. Just my luck, I think. It doesn't suprise me that Danica's out with Jason, considering they are engaged. It also doesn't suprise me that Carter's not online, and I am aware that he has that theater thingie. This just means I can't work on either story.
Anyways, conversation I had a few months ago w/ themdlbear:
Dad: You're going to need G, D7 & C, Chaos. Trust me.
Me: No I'm not! It's only beginning guitar, Dad!
Dad: Yes, you will. Trust me.
Me: No, I won't!
----4 weeks later----
Me: Dad, I'm sorry.
Dad: About what?
Me: Not listening to your teachings about the chords.
Dad: Hate to be the one to say "I told you so!"
(Well, ok. Those weren't his exact words....but you get the idea.)
Another thing: just as kind of a nice little reward, the parents take us out for sushi when we get report cards. Ever since I started college, we've gotten to go out when my sister brings the grades home. Because I'm a college brat now, I don't have progress reports or anything of the like to bring home. They've really stopped asking me how I'm doing in school. The belt test didn't merit sushi when I passed it (and I got an A in the class, I might add). I had an A in fencing, and a B+ in US History. Are they playing favorites intentionally or accidentally? Oh well. Again: Just my fucking luck. :-(... :-P~ to the little gidgit!

Date: 2005-04-20 03:38 am (UTC)Try HARD to learn barre chords. Yes, they're not "beginner." Yes, they're sometimes vicious. But if you can learn to set and hold a firm barre, you will have SERIOUS freedom of the fretboard. And about ten times as many options available as do those folks who are limited to fingering four strings at once.
Okay, off soapbox now.
