spending the holidays the same way I spend the semester — drinking cup after cup of tea & barely making a dent in my never-ending list of readings 📖

public school lunch aesthetic

-random applause that eventually encompasses the entire cafeteria -skipping classes to go to your friend’s lunch periods -”come with me i dont wanna go alone” -not knowing who you’re singing happy birthday for -“hey if i pay you will you go through the line and get me something” -knowing your id number so you can actually eat -only wearing your id during lunch period -that ONE security guard -”what’s even for lunch today” -HOLY FUCK IT’S CHICKEN NUGGET DAY -those girls who chill in the bathroom doing their makeup -fights = dinner AND a show -”hey what lunch do you have this year” “b” “damn i’m in c”

I just remembered that Bernstein is buried with a copy of Mahler 5 across his heart and now I am full of feelings

When Woodwinds were invented

Clarinet: hey let’s make our fingerings and instruments kinda similar so we can transfer it to the other’s instrument if we have to!

Flute, Sax, and Oboe: Sounds like a good plan!

Bassoon: Fuck your chicken strips

the bassoon poet is on the attack

honestly trumpet is the most difficult instrument and requires the most amount of skill out of all the instruments. no other instrument knows the blood sweat and tears that goes into trumpet playing. therefore trumpet players are the superior haha just kidding but doesn’t that sound like something a trumpet player would say

classical-crap

stupid things the orchestral instruments do when they're performing

violins: they do this dramatic swaying thing and sometimes the performers' faces look like they caught a whiff of something that isn't good or bad but it's iffy as hell

violas: they drop their instrument real low, like almost so that the scroll is hitting their knee, and they almost hop out of their chairs. it's kind of intimidating

cellos: classic cello headbang

basses: that head thing djs at discos do

oboe: my god they're like the violins on steroids. they move all over the place and their expression just becomes more and more pained as their solo goes on. don't even get me STARTED on the eyebrows

clarinet: like the oboe but slightly more chilled out

flute: they lean forward and bob their heads as they AGGRESSIVELY spit into their instruments

bassoon: sometimes they close their eyes and start kind of dancing really passionately with their instrument and it's kind of uncomfortable to watch

the entire brass section: they sit fairly still compared to the other instruments, but they're still guilty of excessive eyebrow raising and lots of disapproving squints as they realize they're playing out of tune and everybody heard it

percussion: they get really excited before they get to play their one note like they'll hop around and start dancing and bobbing their head before their triangle part and it's adorable

piano: headbanging, head bobbing, swaying, pained expression (usually no eyebrow raises, though), and they sometimes drop their heads so that it looks like they're sniffing the keys
