wound up like a clock

I enjoy winding up my coworker, specially since Liverpool have been playing so piss poor. He knows we just tease him to get him wound up and he still gets excited defending them.
Me? CRTC, campus radio, CANCON, music industry farm team systems for bands and even their own lackeys, CFNY and most things about music.

Choral singing, without a doubt. Particularly when I know the music and the person I'm standing next to... doesn't.

Oh I hear you very loud and clear Mr Perry. Which seemingly many sopranos can't do of themselves, particularly when standing near me. SQUAWK!

yes, but do yu enjoy it, and ifso, why... is it an adrenaline response or something...

Part of it is a superiority complex, I think; I know I'm not the best singer in the world, but I think I'm a pretty damn good musician and, while it drives me up the wall when people I'm singing with can't read the music or catch on to the overall idea of their line by the third time we go through a section, inside I also get a sense of "HAHA! I GET THIS AND YOU DON'T!" It's like the little evil voice of validation that goes along with doing well in performances that justifies the amount of effort I put into it.

yes, i think that's the nail on the head - as annoyed as u get, it's ultimately reassuring 4 yr ego 2 think that u r better/more talented/have better taste. except i ultimately fear i don't...

trying to come up with anything new on my acoustic guitar usually winds me all the fuck up. so i take my rage/anger/frustration out on my electric and create something better with a pedal.

I used to get all wound up about politics and the meat-eating, gay-hating evils of the world, but in the end I felt more exhausted than anything else. So basically I've become more apathetic I guess.

But I do rather like getting wound up when I'm having trouble song-writing. I get terribly frustrated but keep making myself go at it. I record alot of what I do. Later, I'll come back and listen to it and like it a hell of a lot better than I did while in the process of actually doing it. I capture that intense moment (of rage at myself usually, but neverless, I capture it).

Sometimes I like to wind myself up about little things I'm worried about because I know they can be rather easily resolved and I like the feeling of everything being all better. Maybe that's psychotic? Maybe my life just isn't interesting enough? But really, I'm glad I don't tend to have any major issues...

yeah, thats just what i am talking about. i feel a bit less psychotic now, just a bit.

am i weird ... i never get wound up by songwriting. when it happens, it has so little to do with me or a conscious effort that it's not really applicable. i suppose if it didn't happen when i was trying, it would frustrate me, but i never write unless it's flowing, if that makes sense. goes along with my writing=shitting analogy, you can't force it. wind-up factor comes during recording, if u can't get it to sound lik wht u hear in yer head.

wind-up over little things u can control rather than big things u can't isn't psychotic, it's the basis of mental health. me, however, i get wound up about little things i can't control rather than big things i can. go figure...

American politics, especially local (Detroit). I have to stop myself frequently because I realize my tirades are getting boring--to me, that is. I can barely listen to myself.

the political situation and sometimes my work.
