Today I sang for eight hours, which (because I'm a huge music nerd) is almost as fun as sex.

Almost.

>_>
 
wow, eight hours. without break? i was once told one shouldn't sing more than two or three hours per day... though then again, when we had choir-weekends we sang more than that too, of course (but being a soprano had the advantage that we had to practice our voice least, it is kind of easier to learn it when it is the dominant melody - but then we sang some modern pieces where the soprano was all weird too... and then we were completely confused, hehe)
 
No, not without breaks--we had an hour for lunch, and several 15-minute breaks scattered liberally throughout the day. But yeah, it was a fair amount of singing. And though I'm a bass myself, being a soprano doesn't help in our choir, 'cuz we get up to some pretty crazy shit.
 
k... well mainly sang the typical stuff, a lot of bach etc. ... some modern stuff too though, but i can't find any of those on youtube...
 
Only one woman even looked at me today. So I smiled at her as we passed. There was no return smile :(
 
This is today, Wednesday, not someday. So no. When someday gets here, then yeah.
 
It is very hard to meet people when everyone has an iPod in one ear, a bluetooth in the other, and are trying desperately to avoid all contact with anyone around them. You have to be introduced anymore, and no one wants to be the one introducing.

The modern age sucks.

i must say i disagree. first of all, not too long ago, and you wouldn't get laid without being married anyway, and you weren't supposed to speak to people without being introduced etc. etc. i don't think it is any harder or easier to make contact with other people than it used to be, so your post makes me think of two possibilites - a) you are speaking of a distant past when it was easier, because you heard so (then i can tell you - it probably wasn't so, it was just different, not harder or easier) or b) you are referring to it having actually been easier for yourself some years ago, then i would think it has more to do with that maybe you became more careful, or the specific people you would like to get to know changed - but not with the world per se.

because really, even without having an ipod and a bluetooth in the ear, you wouldn't actually walk up to a random person and start chatting with them?

and at the same time maybe with modern age here and there an opportunity to meet new people gets lost - but at the same time new opportunities open up. one just has to adapt...

I am speaking from experience. I used to have the occasional conversation with the person standing next to me about something random going on next to us. Occasionally I would get a positive response from that person. That was how I met my first girlfriend. That was how I got into the band I was in for two years, and how I met my best friend for ten years.

Now, everyone is so focused on the nearest electronic device that anything that distracts them from it is a problem that has to be avoided. It has changed the social dynamic of the area I live in, and not for the better.

And on a similar but different note, I really hate people that look directly at you when talking to someone over their phone, and then look at you like you are an idiot for thinking they were talking to you.
 
well, i don't know, your area must be really different to this one here then. because here first of all even before all the different devices, people wouldn't just start speaking to each other randomly (then again, i noticed that is a very american thing anyway) and secondly, it seems to be only certain parts of the population that is always occupied with something like that. of course, others are reading a book, or a newspaper, or whatever. but either way, as i said, there are other, new oportunities to meet people in modern times, though. like, i met my boyfriend via the internet (actually via lit) - and since he lives in a different town there'd have been no chance to meet by just randomly getting into a conversation on the street. i think one just has to learn to take advantage of whatever is there now...
 
well I booked a ride to bf's town so I have to wait less than a week now...

I dunno, isn't that what the internet's for. Make your introductions on there...

But no, I didn't get laid today either ;)
 
Nope. Not liable to either, at this rate. Met a girl, went on a date... Twice. Which is double what I'm able to get from most girls, sometimes infinitely more. Thought she liked me. But nooo, she's having "Just Friends" pangs. And I never escape from those.

Well, back to the drawing board, sigh...
 
of course, on the other hand, i tried to be just friends with my bf first too. but somehow he quickly made me forget about that...
