Harmony here - just making the most of my last entry before I go on my three-week holiday overseas. The 14-hour flight leaves tomorrow morning, Sydney time. I hope I'll have Internet access while I'm overseas so that I can still catch up on everyone's entries

Oi, where are you going? *tries to figure out what is 14 hours away* Hmmm, Asia's all around the 10 hour mark, Europe's closer to 24, North America's 17 or so... Ummm, Africa?

I have relative-perfect pitch

Relative or perfect? I'm a relative-pitch-er, and so is Sis (we had to figure that out on our own, after she dropped music in Year 9 - I think my Mrs Hood horror stories scared her off...!). April in my grade had perfect pitch, but I still beat her at melody dictations in Year 12, BWAHAHAHA XD

My supervisors have received SO many complaints about my rudeness, although I haven't been fired yet because they all agree that customers suck, too. XD

Word. Customer service has to be the worst department of any company to work in, I swear.

[silverharmony]

Los Angeles, actually. XD 14 hours is the longest time on a plane that I'll ever have been on. Wagh. *Is not looking forward to jetlag-ness much*

Relative or perfect?

Relative. My cousin's also relative; she's still studying music at Uni now, and she calls it relative-perfect, so that's what I call it, too. :P My sister has 100% perfect pitch though, which makes me quite jealous.

Ahahaha Mrs. Hood and HSC Music... Brings back memories. XD

The fact that customers_suck has almost 22 and a half thousand members speaks for itself. :D

Ugh, no. It gives me ear trauma enough to hear wrong notes with relative pitch. Perfect would be a CURSE, I tells ya ; )

Ahahaha Mrs. Hood and HSC Music... Brings back memories. XD

Was it as bad for you as it was for me? LOL. She barely ever came to class, and when she did, she liked to tell us how much we sucked. Um, that would be because YOU WERE NEVER THERE TO TELL US WTF WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE LEARNING. Her idea of teaching us was to hand the Peter Sculthorpe LP to Jude (oh public schools - we can even afford a cassette, let alone a CD) and tell us to 'learn it'.

Enjoy LaLa Land! At least it's a shorter flight than London - that screwed me up good and proper : ) Oh - invest in a good eyemask and neck pillow, you'll thank yourself at the other end *nods*

[silverharmony]

Haaaahahahaha she did!! She would hand us CDs and booklets and just tell us to 'learn it', too. She was pretty disorganized as well; a few of us in the music class had this running joke that during the HSC trials, she would most likely turn up half an hour late because she was still photocopying the papers when the exam was due to start. (She didn't, which was still just as funny. XD)

Thanks so much! *Huggles* Will see you and catch up on your luffly entries in three weeks' time. ^_~

[rayfy]

know how you feel. Same car situation here. My parents don't trust me with driving on my own =(

But aaaAAAwwwwwww... going to miss you so much!
Have a wonderful time, and can't wait to hear your stories when you're back!!

[silverharmony]

That's because you're still a lil boy, Ray! ♥ ♥ Hahahaha.

...Aaaand you look like Luffy. XD

I'll miss you too! I'll be sure to take lots of photos and bring back lots of stories for you guys.

*raises hand* Fellow emetophobe here...

7) I've had my driver's licence for just over a year now, and - believe it or not - I still haven't driven on my own even once. My parents are really uptight about me using their car; if I drive their car, I have to be accompanied by one of them, because they think that otherwise I'll crash it.
Wow, my parents are the total opposite. They basically force me to drive frequently, and made me drive on my own the day after I got my licence...

Have a wonderful time in Los Angeles! :D

[silverharmony]

XD People probably think I'm insensitive because I run off when someone is sick. But really, at the same time, I'm so squeamish about it that - in turn - I can't understand how other people can stand it. That's like a foreign language to me hahaha.

Re your parents: that's good though! Because I'm not gonna be able to afford a car anytime soon, I'm scared that I'm going to grow dependent and be unable to drive alone later :/

Thanks so much - I'll see you in three weeks' time! *Huggles* ^_~

[mara_202]

Same here... As soon as I even think I hear someone say that they're feeling queasy, or recently had a stomach bug, I run. I just don't understand how some people can just shrug about it. It is horrible and disgusting. One of my study-mates once got sick in the train. That's, like, my number 1 nightmare. *shudders*

3) brings back high-school memories, haha. As does 4. Those were the days. XD And you rock at harmony, yesyes.

[silverharmony]

Yes, the emetophobia does bring back memories of us sitting in the school oval, and we were all saying 'VOMEEEEEHHHHT' in a retarded voice to gross each other out. XD And yes, 4. Plus Reffi complaining about 4 because she's too squeamish when it comes to bone-cracking noises...

I don't think I rock at harmony - I know I still have heaps of room to improve. But, at least I know that harmony is one thing that, unlike with other stuff, I can do without thinking to myself, 'man, I suck at this'. *Has low self-confidence*

Thanks for coming by to comment! *Huggles*

[ladyphoenixia]

*huggles back* Well, I stalk you, I just... lurk a lot. Hehe.

And yeah, harmony is just so much fun, I enjoy it muchly. How's your choir? You really oughta come see one of our musicals sometime, pirates was fantastic (gilbert & sullivan write brilliant music) and Sweet Charity (which we've just started rehearsing) shall be most entertaining. XD

You got recced on Fleeting Fancies? Congratulations!! That's wonderful! I use that site frequently to find good fics.

[silverharmony]

As do I, and I'm never ever confident about the quality of my own fics, so this was a tremendous relief and a nice confidence boost all at once. XD

Thanks for coming by and commenting! ♥
