how the Fuck does anyone learn 70 instruments and how the Fuck does anyone learn Any instruments as a kid.........i mean i guess once you get the hang of a few instruments a lot of the rest aren’t completely different but still, jeez. i get the habit thing smh samesies......and same with how i’ve only ever lived that Last Minute Life. can and will procrastinate until the night before........but the misery of Auditioning all on its own is a lot i’m sure....i haven’t auditioned for anything since i was like....10, which hardly counts. fingers crossed that the whole process leans less horrible 

fuck i never had to do Church Every Day which i’m so glad about ugh.....my mom was pretty serious about the ol christianity but even she had her limits. there was a lady at our church who was nice enough but a bit too flanders-y Constant Jesus Full-Throttle-y even for my mom. once her daughter gave us (uhh, the seventh? eighth graders? fuuuuck i had to go to sunday school from k-8 and THAT was another torment....and being catholic means having to do that confirmation shit in 8th grade which just means slamming your head against the wall EXCEPT i think i got credit for helping a nun bake cookies which was a lot of fun, b/c the nuns were great ANYWAYS) us whatever-graders and our moms? i guess? a talk about like....morality in ur adolescent adventures and even my mom was like “hmm that was a bit Misogynistic”.......e.g. she was lecturing us about how the radical role-reversaling of the then-recent release of “enchanted” was unnecessary and how girls ought to wear modest clothing because ig their future husbands deserve No Spoilers about what the fuck their wife’s physical form looks like....and my mom was like “well it should be about the girl’s own sake actually not defining it for some guy” and i was like that’s the spirit mom.....idk like my dumb ass was 11 and i’m still relaying this mess b/c i was like “this is the most useless hour and a half i’ve ever experienced” idek what it was meant to be about

i Was lucky to have escaped the realm of sunday school before my mom read in some priest’s blog or something that “religious education is as important as regular education and kids go to school thru 12th grade so why not sunday school thru 12th grade” and i think my unfortunate brother had to live through that. and i didn’t have to do Church Every Day but i DID have to do all the extra days of Required Church which like, from post-xmas through early january there’s like this streak of 2 weeks with three extra days of You Gotta Go To Church on top of the usual sundays and it’s like, well fuck my whole life i guess. very much know that ian deforge life(tm) having to go to church with your freaking mom all the time

hanging around the nuns was great though actually. that’s not Usual but we just so happened to have some great nuns nearby and my mom got involved so by extension we were like oh hey chillin at the monastery with the nuns.....helping out with things on occasion.....they were all very nice and many of them very fun. and the side effect of 2304823402834 hours of Church Things is that now i have a decently expansive knowledge of technical christian lore. a bit too much lmao like, great, now i wish i knew more about the other abrahamic religions. but i guess at least i’m a resource for protestants who are mystified and weirded out by catholicism? fantastic, but hey let’s all commit to storming vatican city. we’re all in this (storming vatican city) together
