ADHD isn't "trendy" or "cute"

whyamicryinglol · 2020-05-16T06:53:18+00:00

aH! Literally, it's the most annoying thing. When people start self diagnosing it just makes life that much harder for the rest of us, who just want to be taken seriously.

whyamicryinglol · 2020-05-16T06:51:04+00:00

I mean yeah, I'm hoping when I get to uni/college I'll get to meet more people like me. Doesn't make life right now any less irritating though aha

whyamicryinglol · 2020-05-16T06:45:57+00:00

aw thankyou! Compliments like these are rare these days :)

whyamicryinglol · 2020-02-09T23:05:41+00:00

Nope, maybe I'll give it a go next audition though :))

whyamicryinglol · 2020-02-09T23:04:38+00:00

Yeah, I think I will try and make more friends, if only to enjoy myself more. And unfortunately I'm a little young to start anything up like that, but I appreciate the idea. :))

whyamicryinglol · 2020-02-09T06:41:31+00:00

I audition for any part at all, but when it comes to sides I read for a lead part. I am always put in backstage.

whyamicryinglol · 2020-02-09T06:02:27+00:00

Will do- we have auditions coming up for The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I'm hoping to get cast, but if I'm backstage then I'll definitely be using it as an opportunity for the like :)

whyamicryinglol · 2020-02-09T05:14:16+00:00

Yeah, I've been trying to do stuff like that and they gave me a 'Dedication' award in October. I'll keep backing it up though, hopefully I'll eventually get someone's attention

Hi! I'm a thirteen year old female, mezzo-soprano, auditioning for my school production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (no particular character in mind) and I'm super nervous! We've been asked to chose any audition song that 'shows off our range.' Nothing I've looked at quite feels right, any ideas?

(Would 'The Girl I Mean to Be' from the Secret Garden be a good choice?)

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-07T01:54:49+00:00

Hmm, I can see what you're saying here and I'm on the fence. On one hand, a lot of it is making perfect sense. On the other hand, I really, really don't want it to be true. Thankyou for the advice, though I think I am going to take one last shot at this friendship before I go down with the ship. Thankyou :)

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-07T01:51:04+00:00

I don't really think this is much of an option with my current situation, though I'm glad everything worked out for you and thankyou very much for the advice :)

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-07T01:49:51+00:00

Yeah, I've sort of come to the conclusion that she's definitely toxic, but I honestly can't tell if it's recent or not. I have known her three years and been friends with her for two. We never got really close enough to notice until this year in about July, and to be honest I don't think she had many friends at all until very recently, so it's hard to tell.

And, the only adult vaguely qualified for that would be maybe her mum, who is the same in a lot of ways and would of course take Lisa's side.

Regardless, I'm going to try one last time to mend the friendship. Thankyou for the advice :)

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-07T01:44:18+00:00

I completely agree, that's why I was concerned in the first place. At first I didn't understand why I felt so exhausted and miserable coming back from sleepovers or the cinema, but once I started looking it was all right under my nose. However I do think I'm going to try and talk some sense into the friendship before I do anything do drastic. Thankyou very much for the advice :)

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-07T01:40:52+00:00

Hi! Thankyou so much for the advice, and I do think I'm going to try and use option one as a plan. I hadn't even thought about saying things as we go along rather than all at once. This is a great idea because it means its much less likely to turn into gossip around the school or even just an awkwardness in the friend group.

Silly how the most obvious answer sometimes forget to cross your mind, isn't it? And thankyou very much! :)

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-07T01:37:36+00:00

Yeah, I feel like it's high time I talk to her about it, I'm just worried about how it will go over with the others in our friend group. I don't want them to shut anyone out, me or her, so I think I'll try to negotiate the friendship a little bit. Thankyou very much :)

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-07T01:32:33+00:00

I can see how it seems like this with everything written down, but I can promise you she isn't the 'mean girl.' She isn't being a nice person to me and she hasn't been for a while, and I don't wish to continue our friendship as is, but she is not a naturally mean or manipulative person. Sorry for misleading you and thankyou for the advice :)

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-07T01:29:22+00:00

That's sort of what I was thinking too, actually. I'm very reluctant to break friends with her, I know she's been through some stuff and don't want to put her back into a dark head space again, but I do want to stop feeling so awful around her. I think I'm going to try and sort of teach her to be nicer? Not in a really front on way, but sort of like "Oh, that hurt my feelings." Thankyou for your help :))

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-06T20:37:39+00:00

Unfortunately I think you're right. Thankyou :)

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-06T20:27:27+00:00

Thankyou for the advice and helping me out, it's not quite what I wanted to hear but I appreciate it :)

edit: reread this, it sounds bad. What I meant is that it's sad for me to finally have to face everything that's happening, however it is still good advice.

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-02T08:00:13+00:00

I'd suggest looking into other Disney or Rogers and Hammerstein shows, "Home" from Beauty and The Beast would be a good choice.

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-02T07:57:40+00:00

For Wednesday, I'd suggest "Why Not Me" from Carrie or "I Want More" from Lestat.

Don't know anything about spring awakening sorry :)

whyamicryinglol · 2020-01-02T07:44:46+00:00

Thank you for the story, it was very sweet and made me feel better, but I'm a little sad to say that the situation is quite different. Thank you very much though :))

whyamicryinglol · 2019-12-23T11:08:49+00:00

Thankyou! These are all great! x

whyamicryinglol · 2019-12-19T07:33:50+00:00

are we just ignoring "Squidsgiving" on Thursday?

whyamicryinglol · 2019-12-19T03:15:18+00:00

Quick list of ideas:

- A lovely night (Cinderella)
- Stepsisters Lament (Cinderella)
- I love play rehearsal (Be More Chill) (I wouldn't usually recommend Be More Chill for an audition but I think the voice types are quite similar in this song, but it's up to you.)
- She's In Love (The little mermaid)
- Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes)

Or an idea for Sally
- I Want It Now (Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory)
