Random Thoughts/Things?
I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

Why does learning songs have to be so HARD?!
So I'm in a band. And I have three songs I'm singing for the next performance and 3 I'm playing bass on. But I'm struggling bc I have a low voice ngl, and I have to sing That's What You Get by Paramore. It's SO HARD for me to sing. It's right on my breaking point (if you know you know). It would be better if it were just SLIGHTLY higher or lower bc lower would be a chest voice belt and higher could be mixed voice. I'll ask if we can play with the key at band practice today, since it's not hard to change keys at all.
To anyone curious, I'm also singing Forever my Love by Ed Sheeran and J Balvin and the other song I'm singing is All of Me by Ella Fitzgerald but I'm practicing with the Michael Bublé version bc I love Michael Bublé.

sTaRLiiiiiiiii!!!
Also, I knowwww, why DOES singing have to be so hard? I love singing and sing all the time, but I really cannot bear to do it in front of people 'cause it just feels too amateur. One of my friends is so effortlessly good at singing incredibly clearly and I'm lowkey really jelly. :/
Good luck to you and your performance(s)! It might help to remember that the vocal chords are a type of muscle, so they can be trained, even if it takes a long time or seems impossible now. It's not a bad idea to change the key, if that works for you, though! :)

I grew up on cool whip since my grandparents live upstairs and they have THE BEST food, so I always have it with pie or ice cream! It's so good!

I mean, I have an atlatl, a couple of fletched tent poles (serving as atlatl darts), and a bunched up blob of duct tape on my wall, so I can't judge

Why "Oblivion" should hit me so hard after months of listening to it, I don't know, but I almost cried listening to it today...
Gaining respect means giving up a past life
The illusion crafted by my arrogance
Had protected me from the wrong that I couldn't admit
Knowing now that regrets shouldn't be ignored
Left to waste, now I see how you must have felt
When the world began to change and I followed
Floods of memories drown me in the abyss
Ceiling fades, empty space, hanging barely from a cliff
That's thousands of feet tall
Now I fall
Into oblivion
We'd built ourselves and our kingdom in the summer sun
One brick at a time
What was once silver lining of us has turned to rust
In those days when we'd fight our demons together
If we had started over, oh, I wonder
Would I be descending through the darkness
Through the fire and the rain and the mist?
Would the air fail to catch me as I failed to catch you?
Fallen
Into oblivion?
All I hear now is the ambience of our faded tune
How fragile of me to break so easily
Fear took the lead
Now I'm still falling
Falling
Into oblivion
Into oblivion
*cries*

*pats back and offers some hypo-allergenic ice cream*
I know, isn't it so weird when that happens? I'm still here for you mate, and sometimes it's good to just have a good cry over something kinda silly. :)

Is everyone here good with xenogenders and neopronouns (especially nouns made into pronoun sets, like fae/faer or kit/kits or voi/voids or such)? I would like to be able to say what I am and say my pronouns but I don’t want anyone to think badly of me.
(In case anyone isn't sure what a xenogender is, it's basically a gender that is tied to something other than male or female or neutral or such. It's easiest to explain with examples. Cakegender, for instance, could feel layered or light or fluffy or sweet or warm or any of the above. Or crystalic, which feels related to crystals and gems. Or firegender, which is constantly changing and is linked to passion and strength and fire. There are a lot! And they can be interpreted differently too - maybe cakegender also feels “frosted” with another gender or such. I don't know if anyone feels cakegender in that way by the way, just giving examples.)
(And if you’re wondering how they’re genders, honestly I can’t tell you because I don’t really understand common genders like male/female/neutralness. Xenogenders make a lot more sense to me. But also, think about how you might describe being male or female. Obviously it’s going to differ for everyone, but maybe someone describes being female like “pink and frilly and brave and smells like cake” or being male like “blue and fluffy/soft” or whatever. Or maybe they could describe it in what makes them feel good, like maybe someone feels extra female when they wear a dress. Some people might not get very creative and that’s fine! And sometimes you can only define things like that by knowing that’s who you are. But I think everyone probably defines gender a little differently, especially with things as vague as male and female.)
Thanks if you answer! This has kind of been stressing me out lately. And I get if it sounds weird, but I think it's cool and I think it's who I am :P

Don't worry; everyone on the CB is loving and accepting and will use the correct pronouns as best they can. The admins don't let homophobic comments be posted at all, so you'll be safe. And if anyone manages to say anything mean, I'm pretty sure the entire Chatterbox will rise to your defense, armed with pies, ballpoint pens, and overactive imaginations.
And I'm glad you love who you are as much as you do (kinda jealous, to be honest :p)
