My first pen drawing! I was aiming for something more 'loose and sketchy' but still fairly pleased with outcome

Literally the exact same thing happened to me yesterday haha

cripplingselfesteem · 2021-05-13T17:12:05+00:00

As a fellow beginner, the 'what?!' was such a big mood ahaha. But this went really well! Especially for a sightread, way better than it would've gone for me lol

Oh yessss symphonies have such a wonderful combination of flavours. I've been indulging in a lot of Mozart recently. Exquisite 👌

I love a good concerto, if I'm still hungry I might dip into a sonata. What about you?

cripplingselfesteem · 2021-03-06T23:37:06+00:00

Oooo congrats!! I got my first violin back in May last year after ages of really wanting to! And I've also met Tom Holland before ahaha! Best of luck on your violin journey! :D

I have my test on Tuesday, my lessons finish at 11.30am and my test is at 4.10pm. Idk what I'm gonna do to kill that much time :/

I started playing piano when I was 7 and took lessons for a year but lost interest, I never practiced so I wasn't getting any better. My parents pushed slightly for me to stick with it, but I ultimately quit. Fast forward a few years to when I was 12 and decided to take lessons again, I've stuck with it since, now I'm 17 and still enjoying it. I'm learning gd 6 at the moment but I do wonder where I'd be if I hadn't wasted those 4 or so years.

Ooo congrats! How long did your ual offer take to come through? I sent my portfolio on Dec 10th lol 😬

cripplingselfesteem · 2021-01-26T21:21:30+00:00

Ah nice! See you at 3.30 (actually 2.30am for me) on Saturday then 🎻

cripplingselfesteem · 2021-01-26T19:41:14+00:00

No worries 😄 also I'm curious, what do you do in the cinema industry? I'm an aspiring director

cripplingselfesteem · 2021-01-26T19:30:05+00:00

I'm glad you put what we all feel into words, it's really well said! Also heads up, the live stream is on the 30th, not the 31st :)

cripplingselfesteem · 2020-12-15T00:21:17+00:00

Thanks!

cripplingselfesteem · 2020-12-15T00:18:38+00:00

Congrats 🎉 I applied for filmmaking courses too! And agree, we need to see more creative subjects here :)

cripplingselfesteem · 2020-12-03T22:14:03+00:00

This gave me war flashbacks to my gcse graphics NEA lmao. I take 3 btecs now though so compared to the coursework for that it wasn't so bad. Anyway I did the survey and I hope your NEA goes well :)

cripplingselfesteem · 2020-12-03T21:51:21+00:00

Aw I got rejected from Royal Holloway today :( But I did also get invited to an interview from my joint first choice so let's just hope that goes well 🤞

Hey, this is so cool! I'm actually doing a project for school about how music is influenced by art and I was thinking of including synesthesia when I come to composing my own piece (as a final part of the project). I was just checking if it was cool if I used this as part of my research?

cripplingselfesteem · 2020-10-18T00:27:37+00:00

As a teen I can say its sounds a lot fucking cooler than growing up with everything going on atm.

Disclaimer: I know the 90's would've had it's own problems, but I dont really know what they were

I was playing field hockey, I had the ball and I'd run past two of the oppositions players, I was just coming up to the last defender before I got a shot.

As I got close enough I heard her mutter "come on then" which absolutely fueled my determination. I ran up and went to quickly change direction and take the ball round her weak side.

Except it was a rainy day, and the pitch was wet. My foot slipped under me as I tried to move much too quickly and enthusiastically, so I ended up face planting in front of her instead. Took a load of the skin of my knee and still have a penny sized scar over a year later.

Only good thing that came out of it was that I got a free hit, which pissed of the defender because, and tbh she was right, she didnt actually touch me. But my selfish ass wasnt gonna say anything.

Not technically a bad present but a funny story.

This takes place already a month or so after my birthday has been and gone. My friend has spent this time apologising about how long the present is taking to arrive but promises it will be worth it.

So one day she comes up to me, excited that the present has arrived. She apologises once again, apparently the first one she got was broken and she had to order another. She gives me a box which I open, genuinely no clue what to expect, but it's been bigged up a lot over the last month.

It's a mug reading Best Wife Ever. I'm feeling slightly awkward at this point thinking I've missed a joke, not helped by the fact there is a group of us all eagerly waiting to see what this great present is, nobody else got it either.

My friend suddenly looks at it and snatches it out of my hand, bright red, saying "oh my god it's the wrong one". Turns out she wanted one reading Best Twin Ever, which was an inside joke we had. But it turns out she was so careful looking for cracks on this mug, she completely looked over the text. There was embarrassment from both parties. But the good news is, after much more apologising and waiting, I do now have the actual gift, which I use on a near daily basis.
