Hey sure thing, it was a real pleasure talking with you, Sam! Best of luck on your exams, break a leg! (not really sure if this means 'good luck' but I've heard it many times being used in this concept lol) Wishing you the best and only the best =3
Wow! I learnt drums when I was younger, and piano. I didn't keep it up though, but I'd like to learn an instrument again eventually. Funnily enough my boyfriend asked me last night if I'd let him buy a piano in the future I completely agree. I can understand the schools point of view though, because most people use music players that hold videos, and some students were watching things that aren't really appropriate for a school environment. Which of course means NO ONE gets to listen to music now Anywho, I've really enjoyed talking to you, but I have an Art exam and a Drama exam tomorrow, so I really must go and study! We'll be sure to talk again soon though
Tell me about it; I've used to attend many art classes that were equal to punishment lol! I'm am a HUGE fan of music--I played many stuff; piano, arcodion, guitar, flute, drums... I probably lost count of how many musical tools I tried out, and I think I'm best in flute and piano. Sadly, ever since I started university, my hobby for music got crashed because of the little free time. Although there was a music club that I dropped by regularly, that alone was not enough to keep my talent in good shape. I'm planning to start again once I get enough money to own my personal piano (it would be awesome, I can't wait!) I noticed music helps me focus on almost anything I do, even at work I tend to move more relaxed and in pace if there's a soft music running through my ears. It's kinda sad and disappointing when we can't openly ask for those little things, don't you think? oh, I just wish our superiours would understand it someday =3
It's always a good feeling to find someone who understands you Mon will probably be the easiest for me to remember, I tend to not be so good at remembering names . And thanks . I have a love of black and white photography, especially landscapes. Sadly the general area here isn't all that inspirational, all the best photos I take are from camps and things. One of the things I've always believed about photography is that the natural beauty is already there in everything, it's just up to the photographer to catch it. I mean, yes admittedly the type of equipment and angle of the photograph and things like that are important, but the beauty that lies behind it is in the subject matter, not the camera (all mine were taken on my phone camera and my digital camera which is not of any incredibly high standard). I try to apply that theory to people too, that there is good and beauty in them regardless of what they look like and despite the fact they might do something stupid occassionally. Yeah, I understand that . Funnily enough it was just one comment from a teacher a few years that encouraged me to do art, before that I wouldn't have dreamt it - I didn't think I had any talent! I tend to believe that I can imitate, I can't create. If I'm looking at something, I can draw it, but I can't just create images out of my mind. However I am getting better at shading and colouring something I've drawn without looking at what it is I'm drawing from. I tend to find that music helps me focus, because if I find the type of music to suit my mood and I know it well, I don't have any other distracting thoughts and I keep that constant energy that I feel from that type of music. That's what's frustrating with school, we're not allowed to listen to music
Wow! Sam, I think we're totally on the same boat here, national issues and name stuff More than delighted to be your friend, my name is Yaseen (people tend to just call me Yan or Mon when it comes to screen chatting, but feel free to call me whatever you want lol!) And I can see you're interested in natural beauty scenes; those landscapes are just... amazing! The one with a somewhat-clouded blue sky and the sun shining brightly on a couple of trees is my fav! I've never thought of taking photos, but I think the idea is becoming more and more appealing =3 Wow, even drawing!!! I've tried my hand on drawing but I usually lose the image I have in my mind as I stare at the blank white papter =/ I'm going to need some technique that keeps me focused on the thing I'm drawing (pencil-sketching is what I do best, but that's as far as it goes actually...)
Thanks for the friend request! Gladly accepted . I think I understand what you mean. It's kinda like when some group of Australians decide to be racist idiots and start a riot, like the Aussie population gets a bad name when some of us, like me, are nothing like that, but somehow I feel almost responsible for their actions. Haha thats okay . It's actually a relief to meet someone who does the same thing, I tend to waaaay over explain things to people I just meet. My actual name is Samantha, but in general people call me Sam, but when I meet new people who ask my name I end up spending 5 minutes telling them that and explaining my gradual change to Samantha over Sam as I grow older. The conversation tends to not last much longer than that
Thank you for the warm welcome, although belated and I'm a little sad about that and nothing can change that and you can't comfort me with a candy O_O; just kiddingzzz! Yeah, that wacky thread, I'm sorry this awesome forum had to experience such rude behavior from an Arabian site full of Muslim members, it really made me appear small around here. I've started feeling out of the picture ever since... of course, I didn't tell anyone what I feel in mind, I know it's mostly just me imagining it; everyone is nice and kind here. It's just that... this... lingering feeling, that something like that happened from my own brothers and sisters in nationality and religion, makes me feel so awful. That have nothing to do with my eagerness to help; I just help in anything I can help with--that's just the kind of guy I am. Heh, look at me blabbering my mind off at someone who just made it back. Sorry for losing myself for a minute there, it's really nice to meet yet another bright Lit Netter, I hope I fit in here soon. Thanks again for your warm welcome (and no I'm not mad lol)
Hello there . I've been away for a while, and I've come back and saw all that craziness with the stolen poems, and I must say I think you truly are a fabulous person for helping out the way you did! So a rather belated welcome to the forums from me
