new found interest...

First of all I had a great time with my DIVAs and the lovely Leah this weekend...bubbleworld then drinking session at Leah's place. Its fun to be able to just sit with a few friends get hammered and be able to talk about anything that we want, it's also fun to reminisce about what we were all like when we were younger. Most of all its fun to make new memories and as always a great time with the girls I love.

NOW..for my new found interest...I finally picked up my brothers guitar from my cousins house. My brother asked me, why the sudden interest in learning to play the guitar? For me, I just need something to keep me busy, at the same time I've always wanted to learn to play an instrument. So I told him...I wanna sing so I always wanna be able to play an instrument.

I used to love to sing...but as usual I never worked enough to be more than average at something...I always wanna be goood...well GREAT at anything before I can take it seriously and before I can enjoy it more...I always felt like I would be judge for not being great at something, which decreases the fun in it. But from now on, I've told myself that I'll settle and be proud of what I have....if I don't continue to do it..how would I improve....I thought to myself that if I learned to play an instrument, it would make singing more enjoyable too.

I was trying to tune a guitar today and boy did I learn that I don't have a good ear for music lol. My cousin said to me, how is that possible...you sing for goodness sakes. You know what though...i have no clue how that's possible..but I'm just hoping that my "ear for music" will improve over time :)

Today, I got as far as tuning 4 our of 6 of the guitar strings lol. Then I printed out basic guitar chords, then I discovered that my hands are so small and my fingers are too weak that I have a hard time stretching them far enough to be able to reach and put my fingers where they need to be hehe.

So day 1 of that...hopefully this first day doesnt become the last lol :)
