Apr. 20th, 2012 09:50 amI was actually able to read the notes at today's meeting, not well mind you, but I at least got through the whole thing. I think that's the most I've talked at a normal volume in weeks. So my voice does seem to be improving. Sadly, I don't think in time for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
poodleface's karaoke b-day party thing though. As I've said before, that's one of the more frustrating things about losing my voice, not the being unable to talk, but being unable to sing. Like right now, I think I could finally have a conversation with a person, but I still couldn't sing a verse of a song. (Well, I can, it just comes out in a raspy monotone) I've been frustrated that I couldn't participate in any of the songs in church, because let's be honest, the singing is actually my favorite part of the mass.
Speaking of singing, I think most of my friends wonder how I can love Glee, and musicals, and movie adaptations of musicals, and musical movies, and when TV shows do musical episodes. And I think part of it is if I'm some place random, and a bunch of people suddenly burst into song, I think that's totally awesome, whereas most of them would be all, "WTF?!" and feel uncomfortable. Like I love the idea of being in the car, and some awesome song coming on the radio and everyone singing along, or being at a karaoke bar, and everyone loves the song being sung so much, the entire place joins in. But, that's not everyone's cup of tea.
Speaking of being uncomfortable, this past ep of South Park had me wondering, do these corny boring ass losers in these tour group activities realize what corny boring ass losers they are? Like are they unable to read a crowd and not know people don't find their jokes funny or their stories interesting? Or am I just being anti-social? Which I guess I kinda am. Unless everyone in the group is being anti-social, and that's when I become more talkative because I can't stand the quiet. But I digress. Or is it that they agree other people can be boring and lame, but that's other people, their own stories are cool and funny!
Of course, that episode was full of things I have no interest in doing whatsoever. But that's something weird I discovered about myself- obviously I'm not the outdoorsy or athletic type. But I have a weird thing about stairs. Like you tell me about some friggin hill out in the middle of nowhere that tourists like going up, I'd be all, "so its a hill, big whoop". But if it ended up being a temple of the same height where you reach the top via a steep set of stairs, I'll want to climb it. Like I have no desire to run for fun, or free climb a wall. However, if you show me the world's longest staircase, I'll want to ascend it and see how fast I can do it.
Its friggin weird, I know, but I can't help it. Like when I went to Europe, there was that cathedral in Cologne. The tour guide was going on about some staircase in there that it takes a while to go all the way up, and all I wanted to do is try and beat the record on how long it would take to get up there. Which one, I'm not the poster boy for athleticism, so I doubt I'm beating any records, and two, it was full of people, so there's no way I'm going to be able to run up that thing. FYI, I didn't end up going up there, the line was too long, so instead I videotaped a bunch of cute singing choir girls performing for the crowd. But yeah I again digress, I don't know what it is about stairs.
