So apart from that I hope you're all well.
Good evening to ya
Choose your words more carefully please.
Good evening though.
My evening has been utter crap. I was trying to record a track of me playing something I made on the guitar, and I got stuck in a loop and after a couple of hundred attempts later, I was starting to get pretty annoyed as I had made so many mistakes. My dad then went to bed so I had to quit playing. I went downstairs and took my frustrations out on various walls and the floor and screamed a bit to try and vent, and he then came downstairs and instead of trying to calm me down as it was obvious I was starting to go into meltdown mode, he instead decided to start shouting at me, which made what could have still been a controllable situation about 20 times worse. I then had a full blown meltdown and gave myself a nosebleed and a swollen hand in the process. I hid in the garden and my parents came out after me when they saw the blood on the floor. My mum eventually calmed me down by being rational.
My dad is a support worker for people with mental disabilities for f**k's sake! Including those with autism.... If he treats them anything like he treated me tonight he should be fired. No way should anyone start shouting at someone who is in such a state.
It just tips them over the edge! You don't have to be a mental health professional to know that!The man's a prick and knows nothing about me. You'd think after someone finds out about their son being on the autism spectrum they'd actually bother to look up something on the subject.
Rant over.
Phewee! Glad you're OK now
Well, I'm not panicking anymore, but still feel very low.

Awwww rabbit. I wish I was there to huggle you and calm you down.Thanks. I'll try to make that track again tomorrow. I'll take my mum's advice and attempt to record it in moderation, not spending a couple of hours messing up and starting over again every 10 - 25 seconds due to hitting a bum note or mashing the wrong string or losing timing. I'll upload it in the next few days I promise.
It's quite a nice tune, in my head at least. Just a shame my clumsy hands can't express it properly.
I much prefer to make music using a synthesizer and sequencer. That way I can express what's in my mind and bypass my lack of co-ordination. I can just perfect it in my own time and at my own pace then.
Just need to fix the sound on my software....

Yeah it would be best to just do 10 minutes or so at a time of practising your tune. Which by the way I'm looking forward to hearing.

I like your little tune things, they create a nice atmosphere when I'm on the laptop.
Although, that one tune you do on the banjo drove me up the wall after a few weeks.

+1 to the single shot .22 cal pocket pistol ("window of opportunity" and "make it count") versus the Vickers machine gun crew.
Yeah, I liked that bit.

There's that main one, but I can't remember how it goes.

That was in relation to the Sherlock Holmes thing by the way. Just to clear up any misunderstanding

That's good then. I'll refresh your memory next time you come over then.
By the way, do you know when that is yet?

So optimistic you had to say it twice.
Mondayish meaning.... Monday? Sounds good to me. What time roughly?
