Just your friendly neighborhood nerd with ADHD. I love Pokémon, video games (especially RPGs) and art! =D

Standing on stage and singing lyrics you wrote into a microphone while a crowd sings them back at you. Incredible. It’s a high I’ve never replicated in the years since I stopped making music as a serious endeavor.homme_chauve_souris reply

Hate. Like, *real* hate. I've just recently felt real hate for the first time. Not spur-of-the-moment anger or rage, but persistent hate. I want terrible things to happen to this person. I hope they lose their job. I hope they end up broke and can't move out of their POS dad's house. I hope their friends shun them. I hope they fail at everything they want to succeed in. I hope they get mugged. I hope their new car gets totalled. I hope they suffer. I hope they feel nothing but despair. They were one of my best friends for over a decade, and now, if they died tomorrow, I wouldn't go to their funeral. This is the most nasty, disgusting thing I've ever felt. It's like a fire in my chest that turns everything it touches black. I'm ashamed to feel the way I do. I *hate* hate. I hate that I feel this way about another person. But I doMarvinLazer reply
I'm gonna get hella esoteric here, but when I retired from programming to be a full-time singer and musician in 2018, I decided if I really wanted to be good at my job, I should start training to sing opera. It turns out that building a professional operatic sound is bizarre and involves a lot of very fine motor control and the relaxing/engaging of muscles I didn't even know I had. When everything lines up, though, it's insane. I've just recently started to make some good, professional quality sounds, and the sensation is like nothing in this world. A rumbling in the chest on low notes, a tingling in the "mask" on high notes, and when things are working *really* well, the bizarre sensation like the voice isn't even coming from you. Your body is a perfectly coordinated bellows and the sound just enters the world and carries, like a portal to another dimension of pure sound opened up a couple of inches in front of your face. This is the sound that allows normal people to project unamplified to a house of 2000 people and still be heard over an orchestra. So yeah, I'm going to say "good operatic singing."Repeat_after_me__ reply
Adhd - executive dysfunction When you really want to do something but pathetically, literally, cannot. Then suffer guilt from this.Show All 12 Upvotes

Hey Pandas, Tell Me Something Cool About Yourself
As a child, I could hear dog whistles. In the days before LED monitors, I could hear when one of the old CRT monitors was about to fail. I am now older, and my hearing has faded some. I can still hear dog whistles, but they are now fainter and not as annoying. I guess that is supposed to make up for the fact that I have worn glasses since age 14. :-)Hey Pandas, Tell Me Something Cool About Yourself

I have heterochromia - two different colored eyes. Not dramatically different, just my left eye is partially brown.Hey Pandas, Tell Me Something Cool About Yourself
I love skateboarding and recently landed my first impossible (a skate trick where you kinda sup the board around your leg)Hey Pandas, Tell Me Something Cool About Yourself
I have had 4 minor surgeries so far and will have a fifth major surgery sometime during April in the summer holidays. 2 of the surgeries were for an issue with my skin while the rest of them are for issues with my teethHey Pandas, Tell Me Something Cool About Yourself
I'm in AP Calculus! Which would seem normal, except for the fact that in 7th grade.Hey Pandas, Tell Me Something Cool About Yourself
I had hypothermia once. Not necessarily cool, but I couldn't think of anything else interesting.Hey Pandas, Tell Me Something Cool About Yourself
Couple quirky little things: I got a (US) amateur radio license when I was only like 13 or 14. I have a knack for understanding the "system of things" with little more than simple observation. I own and use a verified 100+ year old cast iron skillet someone I would later marry was going to throw out. I LOVE cooking American style BBQ on those thick metal "stick burner" smokers...ok I really just enjoy cooking in general. :)Hey Pandas, Tell Me Something Cool About Yourself

That adreneline from walking onto a stage. Then that moment where you overcome whatever hardship that was presented on that stage and the croud roars and cheers you on. That is a high that I chase non stop. And it never gets old.homme_chauve_souris reply
