I'm so bloody short -_-
Jun. 27th, 2017 06:57 pmI think that my ideal height would be 5'1" or 5'2". As long as I passed 5'0" but didn't quite reach 5'3". That would make me happy...
...but no, I had to be 4'11.5". Half. An inch. I am half a fucking inch from satisfactory height. I don't mind being short - in fact, I like it - but it's actually rather debilitating being THIS short.
For example, I was talking to one of my favourite local buskers today - a jazz/swing electric guitarist - and I told him I thought he was very talented. He asked me if I could play, so I had to tell him the truth; I tried to learn, I'm too small to hold a full-sized guitar, and my arms are too short (they're proportional to the rest of me). Also, it's really difficult to find smaller ones.
Well, my mum's 5'0" and my dad was 5'7" (I think that's the same height as Teru from Versailles XD). I guess I always knew this would happen. It's irritating, though, because my dad was very musically-talented and was a skilled guitarist. My mum is absolutely talentless when it comes to music. I at least hope that I'm somewhere in the middle of that spectrum, so that I'm not a totally talentless musician like my mother. I don't even want to be a musician, but I do kinda want to learn the violin. I also used to be able to sing, but I don't know if I can anymore. I hope so. :/
Anyways, there's another really amazing local busker. She's an opera singer, and she's bloody magnificent. My brother said that when she started busking outside where he works, she got notes, not just coins, and she must have made about £400. Bloody hell. She deserves every penny.
