What It's Actually Like To Sing Live!

Heyyyy :)
As I mentioned a few posts ago (I just realized how weird that sounds), I love to sing. And I have also taken it as a subject at school. Sooo....I recently had my first live performance with a school band! *cue the YAY track* I was so excited (and also a little nervous) but it was amazing!

Here's what it's like to actually sing live..

For one thing, it's amazing. You get to hear what your own voice actually sounds like (whether it's like a dying walrus or like a beautiful fairy). Often the music playing around you (if it isn't a karaoke video) is slightly more muted than what the original song sounds like, and sometimes that sounds better. For instance, our band did Ride by twenty one pilots, and that's more of alternative rock. But we turned it into this AMAZING acoustic version that sounded pretty good too :)

You really get engrossed in the song as you practice - every beat, note and tone is engraved into you and you don't need to look at the lyrics on screen to sing after a point. You can also move to the music, or focus on the theatrical aspects of what you're doing rather than trying to focus on whether you're in time or in tune, since you're pretty familiar with the song. Obviously, I didn't attempt to dance or hype the so-called 'crowd', because hello? I've only recently joined my new school, and does it LOOK like I want to be judged? Do I LOOK like I'm a famous person? No one judges famous people. Nah, I'm a regular  teenager who constantly fangirls (does that make me regular?) and just happens to have a love for singing.

You get to know people! I am a pretty shy person, and I often don't exactly know how to make conversation unless someone else speaks to me. But when you meet other singers in the band, or the other players around you, you sort of bond over the music you guys like (or hate, though that's quite unimaginable). So I luckily have been able to start talking to a few more people and getting to know those guys too :).

You discover so much new music - and discovering music is something I enjoy SO MUCH. I literally change the songs I listen to every week ;D

Despite the amazingness (that isn't a word, I know. But guess what, I just created it, so DEAL WITH IT.) of that experience, you often begin to despise a song when you're expected to practice too much and listen to the same thing all the time. But other than that, I quite enjoy being in a band and singing with others too. It's loads of fun to practice, and the fruitfulness of what you finally accomplish is such an exhilarating feeling that it's hard to deny, really.

So yeah. My first experience performing live was pretty great...Though not many people walked up to me and complimented me, those that did gave me such amazing compliments that they kind of just made my day. I'm glad to know people appreciate that hard work we put in for like, two months on this song :D

Thank you guys for reading my post! 

Can I ask you amazing people that read my blog for a few favours? *angelic smile*

1. Well one thing you can do is to pleeeaaaaaseeeeee share this blog! I'm not attention-seeking or anything, I just want more bored people to have something to do in life and to try and brighten up someone's day (if my posts are that funny or nice hehe)! 
1. If you know who I am, then DISCLAIMER: this is an ANONYMOUS BLOG. Please do not, under any circumstances, mention the name of the writer to anyone.

2. If you read these posts, please write anything you feel like in the comments section down below (If this was a video, I'd do it Kurt Schneider style :D). You don't have to tell me how amazing or horrible I am, just please say if you can relate, or suggest what else you'd like to see me post about here. I need ideas! Because I don't often get them in this boring life that I lead!

Byeeeeeee :)

Little Miss Imperfect 

P.S: That is a crazy name, apparently haha. So many people have laughed at me because I've put that as my Google+ name...but those are only the guys that don't know I have a blog (that's a lot of people...hmm). I don't really care, though - it's better than commenting with my real name and calling my blog anonymous - that would be highly paradoxical. 

Why Being Smart Isn't Always the Best

Welcome back to my blog! 

It has been quite long since I posted. A lot of factors contributed to that including a really fun school trip and not being able to think of  what to write (still not a pro at this, remember?). 

But here I am with another crazy little piece of prose for you to read. 

I bet loads of you are in school right now with exams and all like "oh my god, I'm failing all my tests, ugh why can't I be smart, etc. etc." If I may say so myself, I feel like I am a pretty good student (basically I do my work on time and always study and get good grades. I'm boring :1).

Buuuuuut being smart isn't ALWAYS the coolest thing...here's why. 

1. Knowing Too Much

Every once in a while, I am way ahead of the class in whatever I know about the topic that is currently being taught. ESPECIALLY MATH CLASS. That's because I take a specific kind of math tuition that allows me to be around two years ahead of school level (what was that? No, I still mess up in my tests.).

So I be sitting here solving my sums in one step and the rest of the class is staring at me like I'm some alien. And y'all are probably thinking, but isn't that GOOD? 

My answer to you is, NO. Because finishing all the assignments first is something that is oddly disconcerting for me...like just sitting there with your sheet done trying to figure out what to make of your life isn't something I enjoy. 

2. That one time you got bad grades is now unforgettable

So you mess up in one test. And you're like, wow, I messed up, I'm so dumb, etc. etc. Trying not to feel too bad about it and trying to stop cursing yourself for making such stupid mistakes. 

Then this kid, probably who doesn't get great grades, probably gets average grades, walks up to you. And the usual question "how much did you get?" And you are forced to spit out the horrible implications of your test paper. 

And then all these people (who think you're apparently the smartest) begin jumping up and down shouting, "Oh my gods! I got higher than her! I am so honoured! I got higher than her, look dude, I got higher than her!" 

Okay don't get me wrong. I appreciate your respect towards me and my brains. But please do not fangirl over my low grades that you surpassed. It makes me feel like I have let myself down even more. So please just either be sympathetic or don't react. Thank you very much. 

3. PERFECTIONISM. 

You know how they say that someone 'raises the bar'? Well, my bar is literally in outer space. That is where my standards are. I can be pretty content with up to three marks below the highest mark. But below that is too low for me. (Yes, now I bet you're imagining me getting the lowest mark. Go ahead.)

And all the people are questioning how you're not happy with what you got, but my question is HOW ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THOSE GRADES? Yes, we all turn into perfectionists. 

4. Hello, my name is Baymax, and I'm your personal tuition teacher! (Not.) 

BIG HERO 6 FAM, WHERE YOU AT? 

Returning to the point. I love helping people. It's nice to see someone say thank you and go off happily with a smile on their face. I'm not THAT mean. 

But always having to help people is KIND of annoying... So many people in my previous school would come running up to me asking so many things and often I wasn't really in the mood to turn into their professional tuition teacher. But knowing things and being a good student does have SO many advantages like this one! (sarcasm implied.) 

So those were a few things that aren't so great about being smart. Obviously, It does have SO MANY MORE  amazing implications to it - you get good grades, teachers like you and listen to you...it's not that bad. 

Thanks for reading my post! 

Love you all!!

Little Miss Imperfect 

P.S: Yesss!! I finally have found myself an anonymous name! I hope you guys like it. This post was dedicated to my best friend (who also has a birthday tomorrow!) - let's call her Person. Also I hope this post didn't make me seem narcissistic in any way because that's not what I meant to happen!! 

Because I'm down to earth, keep on falling when I know it hurts, going faster than a million miles an hour - I should stop singing Infinity by One Direction now. Byeeeeeeeee!! 

How Do I Start?

Just to inform you, notify you, and explain to you. Writing a blog is not something I'm used to. It isn't something I've done before. It's definitely not something I'm a pro at.

But it wouldn't hurt to try.

So here's my first post.

I'm not going to begin with all that sappy stuff about how I need to "express my feelings" and I have "no one to talk to". This came simply out of my mind as something to focus on while I'm extremely bored with nothing better to do at all (which is a state I'm often in, when I'm not studying). I just like to write and I also felt like my weird self should be exposed SOMEWHERE. So that's why I started this.

Well anyway. I bet you don't even know who I am and here I am just rattling on about blogging. How utterly silly of me. I'd like to keep my name anonymous for now, because that's the whole POINT of a blog - nobody is meant to know who on Earth you are (except your friends who read this, of course). I'd like to consider myself a professional fangirl with a part-time job as a student. I do have extensive numbers of fandoms and often find myself overexcited for incidents that plain mortals (or Muggles, shall I say?) would find quite mundane, just like themselves (ah Mortal Instruments.).

My other hobbies excluding fangirling are singing and losing myself in my world of books (while assaulting my emotions through them). Other than that, I enjoy socializing with fellow fangirls (and boys, don't think I forgot you, Island) or just generally hanging out with friends.

Since I don't have much else of consequence to put into this post right now, I shall stop here.

Until next time,
Still Trying to Think of a Cool Anonymous Name

(P.S: If you are wondering who Island is, Island is a code name for one of my best friends. He has been kept anonymous, just like all other names on this blog will be as well. He has a blog too - go check it out on www.yourstrulywithglasses.weebly.com. Yes, I did just give him a shoutout. Trust me, you'll love it. Now I'm going to shut up. Goodbyeeeeeee)
