Oh wow, that's awesome Nelly!

. Well, I don't know if I need that much help, I mean, I actually don't need to ability to read music notes at all. It's just comes natural to me. Like whenever I hear a melody, I can automatically make a beat for it and string melodies to 'support' the main melody. I do know that it would make writing music a lot easier though. Beats are no problem for me, I'm working on melodies right now. As for now, they're still very basic though. I love violin (strings in general) and piano (or keyboard). Jazz? Wow, you just got more awesome!
I'm actually in a project right now together with someone I know from another forum, we're making an EP together. If you want, I can PM you some previews. There's only one song that we made together though, the rest are things I made myself for the project. The guy that I'm working together with is kinda busy at the moment mastering an album that's gonna be released on iTunes (yes, that guy is a musician).
What music, well, the music that I wanna make is basically a mix of everything that influences me. Like, I'm not going for a genre per se, I just want to have interesting sounding sounds (if that makes sense). I'm just into so much different music, it's hard to really explain what I'm going for. But I can say that (as you probably already guessed), LP is my main influence. However, I don't wanna rip'em off or anything but their way of thinking when making music and not staying at one genre is my way of thinking as well.
Writing eh? I did that as well waaaaay back, I kinda stopped with that though. Like first, I was trying to actually write poetry but that slowly turned into rapping. The thing is, back then, I had stuff to get off my chest but not anymore so I don't feel like writing anymore hah!
Oh yes, editing. I'm more into drawing actually but I like editing as well. I know very basic stuff in photoshop but I'd like to get better! Actually, I'm gonna study graphical media next year in college. So I'm pretty sure I'll get better then.
Hiking, never done that before! It sounds fun though!
I hate getting mad as well, I prefer not to but yeah, sometimes you can't help it right? Hahaha you evil one! But yeah, when someone f*cks with you, you have to return to favor!
Exactly, I'm almost never doubtful about myself anymore because of that attitude and well, it's nice to be like that! 'Cause there are like tons of people that struggle with themselves every single day and well, if you're in a situation like that, you ain't living life, then you're suffering life y'know?
I like to look at it like that, a mistake can lead to a lesson and a lesson can lead to no mistakes anymore, which is positive. I mean sure, mistakes suck ass but knowing you grow as a person because of the mistakes you made, then mistakes aren't that bad y'know? The thing that's important is to recognize your own mistakes and learn from them, something that can be very difficult for some people.
I'd like to explain it like this. Let's just say you're in a project with a couple of people. One person says he's got an idea but he thinks it's a bad idea. You tell him to say it anyways, and it is indeed a bad idea. However, you come up with something to turn that idea into something good, better than your own ideas. What I'm saying is, if that guy never said the bad thing, you wouldn't have had the better alternative.
Haha I think like that as well! Whenever I'm having a fight with someone and it gets to a point where I'm just gonna say 'f*ck you, get out of my life', I always think 'you don't know you're missing out'.
10 hr shift? Holy crap, that's long o.o. I just came back from work, 7hr shift. In like 3 hours, I'll be partying, yay!
Haha well, I see you're being very honest right there but yeah, I also was thinking that there would've been a lot of nerds here hah! But y'know, everyone has his/her nerdy side so I wouldn't even mind hah! But it is true, it's quite surprising to see all these gorgeous people here. That's what makes it so awesome here! Wonderful peeps!
