I also have an easier time singing along to male voices, although I can also sing the super-high notes. It's just the female mid-range that I can't handle. Not that it stops me from trying when I sing in the shower.
"Yes, my brother is younger. He was always the more "adventerous" of the two of us, and yet never really got in trouble. It probably had something to do with me being "mouthy" a lot. (Who me? Never.)"
I know the feeling. In my family, I tend to take after my dad with the b**chy, sarcastic, take-no-prisoners sense of humor and rather volatile temper, while my brother tends to take after my mom with the more compassionate, easily offended mushiness. Since my mom is the more involved parent, that doesn't bode well for me when it comes to discipline.
"I think someone (i forget who, am being lazy and not scrolling backwards) had it right when they said that if we're "boring" and we don't do a lot of bad stuff, it just makes our things SEEM bad."
I think I'm the one who said that. It's sort of like how I went to a high school where everyone was a really good student and there were none of the major discipline issues that you find in a typical NYC public school, so the security guards went around handing out demerits for stupid s**t like wearing shirts that exposed your shoulders or using your locker during a lunch period other than your own.
"(Can you imagine? Checking only every few days? I'd go insane.) "
Just looking at that phrase made me slightly queasy and shaky. I need my morning Internet like some people need their morning coffee.
"There was this one time an alarm went off - it was in the middle of '24.' That's just wrong. Everyone knows everyone was watching '24' at that time."
