I was made to play Guitar Hero last night
As I have no rhythm, this was interesting. I also discovered my little fingers are now incredibly weak.

What's weak about you?

Alt: What is the answer to your problems?

I'm not weak in any way shape or form. Grrrrrrrr!
Alt: Finding God.

I've played rock band. I fail at guitar but got a 100% singing. So, technically, I am awesome.

Oh maybe it was rock band. I also got 100% singing
but all you have to do is wail, it's ok.

I managed to go up a difficulty ranking on bass though!

This should not be taken as any implication that the bass guitar is, in any way, an easy instrument to master
*is still seeking validation*

I have more fun just jamming with our bass player and me on the drums than I did with the whole old band.
Have only had one practice with the new band so far so can't comment yet.

My short term memory
is the weakest thing about me. You can tell me something one minute and I'll have forgotten it as soon as you've stopped talking. It is tremendously frustrating.

Alt q: I take a Polaroid camera around everywhere with me, with a marker pen to write down stuff I need to remember on the back of the picture. I tattoo the really important stuff onto my body.

Also, this describes perfectly how I feel about those who look down on Guitar Hero "because you're not really playing". It's a game, you dimwitted fucks.

it is just a game
but not one that I find particularly enjoyable, because on some of the songs, actually being able to play the guitar is a hindrance, because it's not like playing the guitar.

I don't want everyone who plays it to play the guitar, because that would water down the impact of me being able to play the guitar.

By way of rebuttal to that (slightly smug) cartoon
The offence kicks in at times when, for example, a friend asked me what I'd been up to the previous evening.
"Well, I tried learning [name of song]. Almost got the hang of it now," replied I,
"Oh, I didn't know you had Guitar Hero," she replied.
I didn't. I was trying to learn to play it on a real fucking guitar, which is a hell of a lot more satisfying.

I just thought that one may amuse you, as during the game you get to use cats as silencers, make people vomit, make people vomit blood (then die), piss on people, knock peoples heads off with spades, kill terrorists, kill Gary Coleman, etc, etc.
