the one with the disclaimer

Jun 27, 2011 16:23

So sometimes I feel like I should have this disclaimer tattooed on my forehead:

DISCLAIMER:

Yes, I have probably just told you I am doing a PhD in music. This means that:

1. I will most likely never find a job in my field
2. I read a lot

It does not, in fact, mean that:

1. I am some superawesomefantastic wonder person who is SUPER GREAT at playing music
2. I believe my opinion is more important than yours (it might be more informed, but those are different things)
3. I PLAY AN INSTRUMENT. Jesus. I only say music instead of musicology because I have never in my life had someone ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT I MEANT BY MUSICOLOGY WHEN I SAID MUSICOLOGY. Yes, I play guitar and piano. No, I am not telling you about this because I don't perform at recital level, therefore it is seemingly irrelevant.
4. I would somehow get "more" enjoyment/entertainment/knowledge from going to a gig than you

Unfortunately I do not believe my forehead is big enough for all that. Oh well.

I have also realised, in true "I've seen Briget Jones's Diary WAAAAY too many times" fashion, that L and B are my Magda and Jeremy. Oh dear.

music, friends, people are idiots, being awesome, phd, bridget jones's diary
