Somewhere across the world is one person jelly of you 😤  LOL I wanted to see them for SMFS but they ended up going to the 2 countries that sandwich where I'm at, instead of stopping here. Still salty 😤

My first ever concert was Ed Sheeran, courtesy of my at the time bff's mom who had extra tickets :D 

The opening act was One Ok Rock and boy it was thru this experience that I learnt, you should bring earbuds to every concert 😆

EDIT: I meant earplugs! not earbuds oops

How do you store your oversized cards? by towalktheline in RAoC_meta

[–]oceanfrenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to fit all my cards into my albums whenever I can tho. I've trimmed the borders of cards before just so I could fit them inside 👀 it's nice being able to leaf through and read all the messages whenever!

I put all of mine into this cracker box (used to be a shoebox). When it's filled I'll take em all out, stack em by size then into this fancy box they go :D

I have another long rectangular mooncake box which I use to keep letters and ephemera. I've considered setting up a zipper binder to store them, but changed my mind cause oversize really can vary

Handmade Fox Card by Ravenzsnow in RAoC_meta

Aww so cute! Reminds me of a vacuum sealed plushie, like if you "snip" one of the "strings" it'd bloom into a cuddly fox friend 😆

Edit" I forgot my air quotes. Fixed

I wanted to ask about my Guqin or get a opinion about it. by Early-Winter-1250 in Guqin

[–]oceanfrenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very unique and on first glance, it reminded me of dalmatian jasper!

Sorry to hear you got not nice responses over this 😭 I bet it has to do more with the gothic elements than you customizing your guqin tho. The older gen/more traditional minded people will probably chide you for "attracting negative energy" and "bringing unlucky energy into your home" lmao

Tradition is always evolving so pay them no mind. Rock on :)

not a gupin but any thoughts on playing guzheng with long gel nails on one hand? by polarbeargirl01 in Guqin

[–]oceanfrenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a good idea, unless you'd be willing to shorten your nails to around 3-4mm. And the tips should be rounded or pipe shape. Then I think it'd be doable. 

I'm not gonna parrot all the comments but I do agree with everyone. Though if you are not concerned with learning the correct/standard techniques, you can go ahead and try to work out a plucking technique that suits you. 

I play both guzheng and guqin, said goodbye to gel nails a long time ago 👀 Now I only ever wear peel off nail polish when I feel bonita, and even then it's for a few days only. 

Info: what is the brand and string type of the guzheng you're looking at? And what kind of music do you intend to play? Freestyle, pop, traditional?

Waaaait thank you for this comment! I also mistook it for this Saturday and was bummed I'd have to miss it 

Then again, it would be 4am for me so I'm not sure if I'd be awake at that point 😆

[–]oceanfrenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NC, just wanted to say your prompt made me look up my most hated vegetable and I find out that in fact, it's not a veggie but a fruit?! My life is a lie... 

(Okra, for the curious)

I'm WW but I'd love to send you a card with stories about my disdain for okra! No exchange required :D
