what's a really unfortunate discovery in my life in the last two years is that my boss told me i was racing against my beeper counting seconds last year and confiscated it (secret skill unlocked: can count to fifteen seconds in your head with extreme accuracy) and i'm like he cannot be for real with this, how do you Race Time. and then i play guitar against a metronome and You'll Never Fucking Guess What My Fatal Flaw Is

#'roo are you subconciously racing the metronome' YES I AM AND I'M BAFFLED #HOW did this man watch a horse gallop through a pair of binoculars and know that i am locked in mortal combat with the passage of time #truly insane #anyway we're uh. gonna get better at yknow. letting beats pass.#i think as with horse riding i play music more accurately without the metronome #or possibly i just do whatever i like #i distinctly remember my violin teacher never being able to change the way the uhhhhhh what do you call ems #the one concerto i had i just decided how it sounded and that's how it was and were my notes all a consistent length? pfff no #it sounds good though #oh that's the other thing i never got to do like level testing or whatever for any instrument ever?#but i randomly found out last year that i was at least like intermediate like halfway through the levels or whatever for violin?#false advertising i keep telling people i learnt nothing in eight years #but also can i technically pull off a 3 page concerto? yes. do my hands shake so much my bow sometimes jumps on the strings? yes.#anyway this seemed like a funny story for the masses #get to know you time with roo
