I was in the choir @ church. I would have been MUCH better off masturbating and reading comic books.  :lol:

I must say, though, that @ my wife's suggestion I did join a local choir that was led by an old family friend of hers and it was v. enjoyable. We performed Faure's Requiem (arr. John Rutter) and Rutter's The Sprig of Thyme. And no, Odeon, I haven't forgotten that I still owe you a copy of the recording of the Requiem.

I.,m ashamed to say it but I am a fairly good touch typist.

WTF are you ashamed of that for? Why would be you be ashamed of having mastered a skill that required practice and discipline to acquire?

BTW, I was looking @ my keyboard all the time I was typing this. Old habits die hard.

That's very sweet. I think it pisses me off that I can type reasonably well and fast. I blame my Mother. She made me do typing as a subject for 2 years, when what I really wanted to do was Technical Drawing, so I could become an architect. When I see people struggle to type I do feel thankful and I ended up working in construction anyway. But yeah, I think she still should have let me do Technical Drawing, regardless.

Like she should have let me learn the drums. Instead I had to join the choir.


Aww, here ya go... :oneliner:

 :plus: For the laugh. I was only 7 at the time, so whilst I liked Archie comic books, no the other activity kind of wasn't an option!

I'm happy with the way things turned out, but it's always interesting to wonder if I'd been allowed to do the 3 big things I really tantrumed about, if my career etc would have turned out differently. The other thing I lost my shit aobut was golf, I really wanted to play golf when I was about 11, but no, not ladylike enough. Much the same as the drums, and the technical drawing.

So fuck it. Go learn drums, golf and tech drawing. Micky Dolenz (The Monkees) didn't know how to play drums when he got the gig, but he took six months and at least learned well enough to fake it (and then actually play on their post-TV show albums).

I look forward to it.
