Romanced: Normal is Boring

"It is the addition of strangeness to beauty that constitutes the romantic character in art." - Walter Pater

The best part about working with artists, is that artists are, umm, quite expressive. You either get really irritated or extremely entertained. Fortunately, I am entertained most of the time. Introducing, a couple of el band peeps:

This one plays everything together. He also has a unique sense of style. Anyone who can walk down the street in a striped jumpsuit deserves the respect. *moment to observe respect*.  I admire him also because he is ever smiling, even when someone is being offensive. I get offended for him.

This is one of the singers. She is a really amazing vocalist and says the craziest things. Also my main motivation for showing up to places that need to be showed up to. Also the reason older white men have to smile (must be the hair...or youthfulness) And has a boyfriend with a cool name. Oh yeah, she also approves of my taste in guys. We all need that one friend who will agree that yes, indeed, your man is very attractive *happy tear*

Monsieur Ninja Drummer.  He doesn't seem to care about whether his band is playing in different keys or someone is playing the wrong thing, he just does his part well. This chap also seems to be the only non-horny of the guys and seems unmoved by events. Clap for him. He puts his all on his drumset, so much that his sticks ninja out of his hands and into the next room. Clap for him again. Also doesn't complain if you run away with his popcorn. Give a hearty round of applause.

This one has quite a temper on him. He gets angry so fast that you don't realize he is mad until 15 minutes later, mainly because he goes and positions himself in a corner and starts sweating.

As a soft-spoken person, I get lots of reactions to my personality. One particular one, is that people either think I'm a genius and ask me to solve physics equations, or they think I'm soft-spoken because I have nothing between my ears. This guy falls in the latter.  He sings to us what to play and gives unwarranted advice. Asked what key the song is in, he says "RnB". I understand that just as I lack in certain areas, so do others. But others who lack in the most basic and yet have the decency to talk down to you? Nuh uh! *sways neck Shaniqua style*. Other than that, he is a great person to have as a friend. He'll go out of his way to help you and protect you, and is also very open.

This is how one director looks like. On the right is him on the inside. Just give him a tot..or lots of sugar, and he will come out. He reminds me of a teddy bear. I just want to hug him all the time.

Bass dude. Reggae dude. Chops dude. He is my bass mentor.  Also has a song that preaches solidarity and likes only two chords: A major and B minor. Therefore, he writes a song consisting of only A major and B minor. I guess this has its perks because it gives the bass room to go crazy. Arise, ye, forgotten instrument!
