I don't usually tell ppl or type this in most posts b/c I'm embarassed about it. Why I don't know but............

I play awesome on the piano and organ. :)

I also play the fiddle like I'm from hell. :twisted:

At least that's my belief since I've had some ppl who have heard me, say that. I even had one lady ask if I could teach her daughter. I don't have a certificate so I hesitate to do it for money but I did do some teaching for free.

I don't know if I make a good teacher though. I might look into some music degree for that since I luv it with all my passion.

My grandpa always wants me to do some fiddling on bluegrass nights with him and his band. I use to be turned off by the name since it was country. Now I luv bluegrass, it's more acoustical and not like typical country as I'm not very fond of modern country or country in general except folkish music. Sometimes I get embarassed though being in front of anyone.

I would like to learn to play the guitar a little more.

Music's my huge secret hobby and luv (Dare I say the name). :wink:

I once had a dream that the devil challenged me to a fiddling contest. If I won, I would get a golden fiddle, if I lost, he got my soul. I won and when I woke up there was a golden fiddle sitting in my computer chair. 8O

I played brass instruments in the high school band. I really wanted to play sax, but the conductor thought my long fingers would be better with the trumpet. I went from trumpet to french horn in my career.

I am a wildlife artist. I have been in magazines and the newspaper because of my art. I also build model airplanes and am female which makes it interesting.

Something positive: I am very good at wandering around in the deep wilderness and getting to the exact spot I want to reach

Something unique: I walk like a penguin

I can make myself sound just like the demon's voice in "The Exorcist" (as an aside, my father was once on a plane to London and the actress who provided said voice, Mercedes MacCambridge, was there).

Just thought of something else that's positive and unique at the same time.

I have a specific style of poetry or song lyric writing. I think of something poetic, wait for a break in the day, and pull out my notebook. I write down a line based on the one poetic line, and then I work off of that line for the next and so on. But I don't plan much at all - just one line or so, and I don't even know when I'll put it in if at all. I just let the dark, morbid words flow from my hidden subconscious. This can help me to write songs and sestinas in about half an hour.

The big problem with this is that I don't like editing my writing - it changes the flow of my subconscious. So, yeah. Kinda funny looking back at that.

Also, I'm very happy that this thread's getting attention. Reading about positive things is making me feel a bit better - I was upset recently. I think you're all awesome. Seriously. Sharing positive stuff can be hard depending on the person.

I'm happier than I was a month ago when I was confused and depressed.


I can be really happy and nice.


I think people trust that I mean what I say even if they don't believe it's true. So then it's easier to argue with me, I guess.


I have lots of wonderful friends and one of them has visited the Judge Rotenberg Center and is making a movie about it!


I have at least one friend who is a bum and I can never ever feel ashamed to be lazy around him!


If I hadn't posted that I wanted to start an Aspie commune, adverb would never have PMed me and told me he was thinking of doing the same thing sort of, and we would never have done it, and we would never be together and we probably wouldn't even have talked!


I can brag about having two friends who were in the military, and one fought in Vietnam and the other was stationed at Guantanamo (but didn't torture anyone).


I was happy enough in my depression last summer to make lots of friends so if I have a spat with one or two I can talk to another one or two about it.


G-Dub is a good friend to me who PMs me even if I don't PM him back right away, because he knows people go thru depressive episodes and he's going thru one in his life now (not in his head like mine, but in his life), so he understands and is always nice and honest about his problems.


Yoshie777 is a friend I can trust to be honest, I think.


I'm glad I remembered WP from a year and a half before I came back here last summer. I needed people to talk to because I was depressed and I remembered WP ,even tho I'd only posted here about 20 times.


I'm memorable, I guess. TheMachine1 and one or 2 others remembered me a year and a half later when I returned to WP.
