tune

that's so awesome, dude

I had kind of a similar experience with guitar? like I mentioned that I wanted to play to my grandma and she was like "hold on wait I got you" and then my grandpa went out and got my uncle's old guitar, which honestly has so much value to that part of my family I started crying once I got home bc I couldn't believe that they had actually given it to me. it's an old electric I had to fix up and I love it so much

Awwww

yeah I get really emotional when my uncle is involved. the guitar used to be my uncle's and he was such an amazing person who didn't deserve what happened to him and my mom tends to make fun of me because I cared about him so much but that's probably why I'm so determined to play guitar even though I sort of suck at it

you're probably a lot better than you think lol
remember, nobody is good at playing instruments when they first start, it's dedication and practice that develop skill and talent.

Yah

yeah but I still sort of suck lmao. but I'll probably be okay at it at some point so

so do I lmao but i practice way less than I should

boi I barely get enough practice in bc I get distracted so easily

saaame
I really need to start practicing more though, everytime I do I'm always so surprised like "wow??? who knew the ukulele sounded this pretty???? i should be playing all the damn time sljdfglsjdfgs" and I play for two hours and then abandon it for like 3 weeks

Mood

yeah I try to play at least half an hour a day and I usually get away with it pretty easy. it's just a matter of finding the time rip

Yah
I do an hour of piano regularly

y'all doing way better than me, damn

I wake up early everyday so…

lol, I don't
which reminds me, I got two alarm clocks for christmas this year. One was from my school bc I'm always late to first period, and one from my parents bc I never wake up on time lol (they got me a hella nice alarm clock though, it senses indoor temperature and humidity and lets me set alarms for naps and projects the time onto the ceiling)

…Wow
Alarm clocks are nice, I guess

lol I have to have one in order to wake up in the morning
for a while my dad didn't believe me when I told him I can't just wake myself up, and I only naturally wake up at either 8:20 am or 12:30 pm, depending on when I went to sleep
then somehow he finally realized that and got me the alarm clock lol

Right
My internal clock is weird. When I have a dream it doesn't work. Otherwise it wakes me up as soon as there's light

yeah I can sleep for a solid 10 hours minimum sooo

Oof

I get a horrible headache if I sleep in past 10 hours, maximum. I'll be miserable if I go longer than 10. I can function on 3 or 4 but my usual operating power is 6-8 hours because school and shit

yeah I usually get roughtly 6-8 hours on a school day, sometimes 4. so I think my brain is just trying to make up for all that lost sleep lol

I get a horrible headache if I sleep in too, but recently I've realized that it's probably bc I grind my teeth in my sleep so I have to wear a mouth guard
and I'm normally functioning at around 2-6 hours, or none at all. Usually after about 3 days I get really hyper and then start to dissociate lol

OK then…

I'm late but I'm hopping on the train of instruments, I've played Violin for about 4 years (although I had a teacher who I didn't really like for a long time so thats put a bit of a damp on it for me plus I don't practice much because I hate playing when my families home) and I play a bit of ukulele and I played the trombone in band at some point, my brother taught me a bit of drums and guitar and I want to buy a bass guitar
