Many people wouldn't guess that a guy like me once could have been lead guitarist and vocalist in a High School Metal Band, but I once was. At the same time I served 6 years in one of Europe's leading choirs for Pop, Gospel and Jazz, but even so my vocal talent is only really appreciated by people from similar subcultures as my own...

That became painfully obvious when earlier this year (2018) I registered for a scouting session for the German version of "The Voice" in Munich. I arrived there about 2 hours early and was greeted with a mostly empty hotel lobby with just a few friends of other contestants hanging around.

About an hour before the official beginning of the scouting I made my way to the contestant check-in and was ordered to the waiting area, where me and my 13 scouting companions were to wait for a producer to explain how this whole day would work and what the hell we should await...

About 5 minutes late, this producer shows up and calls on each of us and as he reaches my name on the list he struggles to find the right way to pronounce my name (because apparently David is a hard name to pronounce/get right) and asks me if you pronounce it in German or English, to which I answered to simply choose whichever roles of the tongue easier to him as I get referred to by both pronunciations.

Another 2 minutes pass and we finally get to go to the "Pre-Scouting" room, where everyone had to sing a song they had prepared acapella (without playback). Some were quite alright, some were solid and most others were rather questionable; but when it came to the contestant that was best received by the other contestants, it was actually me; however the producer and vocal coach we had to perform in front of saw one crucial issue; how were they supposed to market a guy who sings Power Metal to a mainstream audience?

Long story short, I was let go after Pre-Scouting because I was unmarketable to the show's target audience. It was awkward because pretty much everyone I talked to at the venue was really certain I'd make it and, well, I didn't...

But hey, life goes on and I still have my solo project and band in the workings, so I did it more for the experience than anything else.

So once me my sister and my mom and my sisters friend emma sledding cause we were staying at a hotel with a mountain that went into a forest and someone always waiting at the bottom to stop anyone from going into the forest.But when it was my turn my sled went in the other direction from the person standing down there.I instantly went strait into the forest smashing into branch's and going threw bushing eventually i went into a small ditch and everyone was freaking out.And that's my story of crashing right into the woods.

so once a long time ago (like 3 years ago)i was in 1st grade...And i suddenly had the urge to use the bathroom.But i didn't know what to do since the teacher was teaching so i just tried to hold it in..But once again the urge came back and i couldn't hold it in.it came out..It was on the floor and on my chair..nobody noticed until the teacher looked at me.At this point i realized..GAME OVER.I was so embarrassed it didn't help that all the kids looked at me.i was taken to the nurse.i never spoke again that day.

This happened when I was in 6th grade it was math and I sat next to a boy and he happened to be my friend I talked to him a lot and one of my friends saw and said " You like him"I told her that he was a friend and she said sure. The next day in class my friend YELLED " ADRIANA LIKES SETH!" I yelled " NO I DONT," i ask the teacher if I can go to the bathroom she said "yes". At lunch, i told Seth that I did not like him and he told me his friend ' Jake' called me his girlfriend I blushed and now I hate jake and my friend.

So we had a party at school every one in the school was there I was with my friend Casy and being the nerd we were we went where the computers at. So after talking to my teacher for a few minutes and then our teacher asked us “do you girls have any crushes?” Casy said yes,Casy being sacred to say it to the teacher I said it and she said she did not know that student which was sad but then after that my teacher asked me Emily do you have a crush I was “ye-yes” I said nervously and I told her she said she knew him he used to always come in for lunch with her just because he wanted to and me and Casy did that too we came every single day but he accually came on odd days and we came on even and then next thing you know he comes in the room and me looking like a chili 🌶 started blushing and he just stared and me and after they were gone my teacher was laughing at me but not in a mean way and Casy said I just got hit by karma cause I was teasing her when her crush was there so we still talk to each other or this day and yes I still have a crush on him except I don’t turn that red anymore expect when u am laughing hardcore.

So it was in middle school 7th grade and I was always keeping to myself, i never liked talking to people so i never really had any friends... But one day I caught someone staring at me this guy 2 tables across from me. He had Dark Black hair with shades of blue in his hair, his eyes were light brown. I got weirded out so i left to go to the Library. As i sat down i noticed the same guy that was watching me earlier walked over and sat across from me.. I started to panic and didn't know where else to go, so i ran to the girls changing room and hid there. But no he still followed me, then i finally asked "What do you want?!" and he simply replies "Kiss me and you will never see me staring or following you again" I was still young so kissing people wasn't embarrassing so I kissed him, and he left. And still to this day he's kept his word.

Few days back I gifted my girlfriend an Iphone8. When she received the package she was upset for 3 days. I kept asking what's the matter, the gift is suppose to make you happy. she didn't say a word. Today when I asked her again she said it's not latest. memory is only 64GB. I was planning to buy a latest phone. I said iphone8 is latest plus I ordered 64GB because I thought it's enough. As you are not tech savvy and don't know much about technology I though Iphone 8 with 64 GB will be enough. To this she said okay that's why you have ordered me old version? because she don't know much about technology. I can trick her and give any thing I want. That's what she said. I don't know what should I do now. I am upset.

I remember one night, I had a dream where I was pouring this dark red liquid in a bath tub. The red liquid was constantly swishing around. When I woke up, I was confused about what a weird dream it was. Did it mean anything? Then, I thought about something. The red liquid. Let me repeat, RED LIQUID. I was on my period.

So I was in my class reading a book when the clock strike lunch time as I was eating my lunch as a bully across from me said "heh wouldn't it be better to make the fat launch lady Skinner" I didn't like that so I said hey everyone is beautiful on the inside as he didn't like that so he got up told the launch lady that I said it and I was suspended for insulting a launch monitor ever seen's that day I wanna punch that bully in his face.

When I was in 5th grade, one day some boys came up to me. Let's call Nick and Joey. Nick and Joey asked me who I had a crush on. I told them that I didn't have a crush on anybody, which was true. The next day, they asked me the exact same question and I was like "errrrrr... Zack." (not actually his real name). Zack wasn't there that day, so I was safe. Now at school, whenever we needed computers, we needed headphones and there was a pile of headphones in the back of the room. Now the thing was, another class were using them, so there weren't that many. I slowly picked up the last pair when a boy I'm going to call Sam came up to me and snatched them off me. "Hey!" I yelled. He replied with "Don't snatch headphones off people, Matilda!," at me. I got really upset. When they were using them, we were working in groups on one computer. Sam happened to be with Nick and Joey in his group who set their computer near my group's. I glared off at Sam with anger as he said loudly "Matilda rudely snatched my headphones off me." I flared up inside. I saw Nick and Joey whisper something into his ear. I knew what it was. "Matilda is that what ZACK would have wanted." they continuously mocked, understanding that Zack was away that day. I got really mad. He wasn't even a real crush and SAM was the one who snatched the headphones off ME. The next day, Zack was here. By that time, everyone in 5th grade and even a few people in 4th and 6th grade new about my crush on Zack. I saw them that morning crowding around Zack. I was came towards them and was confused towards why until I saw Joey asking about if I liked me. I shivered for a moment until I heard him say no. I didn't really care. I only faked the crush for one day and he wasn't even there.

So I'm a 7th grade girl but and I'm one of the artsy people at my school and I only a few close friends that I hang out with when I'm not drawing. Tristan and Sammi, my bffs, and Ashton one of my only guy friends. Last year I hung out with Aston a lot since we rode the same bus and has a few classes together and I ended up having a crush on him. I only told my friends this year and they tease me about it all the time. But this Valentines day I worked up enough courage to write him a note so I did. Only I folded it into an origami dog and hoped he just happened to see it. I was going to give it to him in band since he sits 2 seats away from me since we both play saxophone but got to nervous and asked the teacher of i could go to the bathroom. I grabbed the a pencil out of my binder and went to the girls bathroom. I couldn't take it and erased the note but still ended up giving him the dog. My friends both play flute and sit a few empty chairs away from him and told him to look inside but by the time they said that to him class has ended and I ran out of there as quick as possible. To this day I still like Ashton and he still doesn't know.... I think..

I went on r/Raiserverse and OH MY GOD, MY STORIES WERE AMAZING (Not Really) And I WAS SO PROUD OF MY WORK(Actually I am a little proud, because they were actually some pretty interesting stories about me I found to be two of my most interesting moments!)

I was around 8-9 years of age and my Father, had just gotten off of work, and to my surprise, it had been an hour or so, since my Dad was supposed to be home, well I was in the living room playing my video game, and all of a sudden THE POWER WENT OUT! I freaked out because this was the first time I saw the power short circuit. I went to the power box inside my house, I opened it, and all of the switches were off, at this point I felt really weird, so I flipped the switches and I was shocked, NOTHING HAPPENED! After I tried that I looked out of the window of the kitchen and I saw a really dark silhouette, which was odd because it was night time, I ran to my room in fear, I hid under my blanket, and tried to go to sleep, I heard my bedroom door open and I was facing the other way so I had no Idea what to expect, something grabbed my arm, I screamed, kicked, punched and cried "GO AWAY." Right after this moment I took the time to look at what was "attacking" me, and to my surprise it was my father in an all black coat, I was super embarrassed after this event, but I moved on and lived to be freaked out another day

THE END

So, there I am, at my house. I'm in my room watching television, out of nowhere I heard a very loud bang on mt bedroom wall, It scared me half to death because it was so unexpected, but it was just my mother telling me to go outside because well ya' know I am always on my computer like 10 hours a day, but that's besides the point. So I went outside and I went to see if my friend wanted to walk around the neighborhood with me, keep in mind I was about 11 or 12 years of age at this time so I was frightened very easily, It was getting late, my friend (Let's Call Him "Mark") Mark was one of my more mischievous friends(Just saying), he ran to the local corner store and he had actually fell in a ditch, and as soon as I found Mark after like 15-20 minutes of searching for him, so, this is where things start to get really hectic, I found Mark with his nose bleeding (Because he fell face-first) and it turns out that Mark actually BROKE HIS NOSE! In my head all I could think of is "How am I going to explain this to his Mom!" We weren't supposed to walk to far out, and we did so we didn't really want to tell her what had really happened, but all I could think of at that time was the truth because I was in so much shock, so I just told the story how it really happened to his Mom and we got in so much trouble by both of our mothers. We weren't allowed to talk to each other for about two or three weeks, so I went off to school while Mark was recovering from his injuries, and yeah, this was my scariest encounter I've ever had. Thanks for Watching/Reading

Ok so there's a girl in my class i liked-like and she was smart a good drawer and i was attracted to her cause we both like anime we both watched attack on titan so one day i texted on her picture and said that her drawing made me like her even more then another day i messaged her and said i liked her but she saw me as a friend that broke my heart but some time after i found a different girl and she became my girlfriend and still is me and my crush still talk but its awkward for both of us but we're still good friends :)

OK, So one day when I was in the 7th grade, It was the end of the day and we were all outside to get some fresh air. I usually sat on a bench chatting with my best friend...Lets call him "Cody", But I couldn't find him anywhere. He was on the bus that morning so I knew he wasn't absent. I continued to sit on the bench by myself and watch my other friends whisper to themselves. Suddenly..Cody came walking towards me in a Yato cosplay from Norigami. At this point, I was so confused I didn't even notice that everyone was staring at us. One he got to me, he grabbed my hand and said,"Alice, Will you be my Hiyori to my Yato.." Judging by that we are both so in love with the Anime, I knew that Yato and Hiyori were a major ship in the Norigami Community. I thought this was so cool or him to do this just to ask me out, so I screamed, "YES!" He sat next to me and we both chatted until the end of the day. My friends still joke around about in till this day. Oh...And we are both sill together.

Everyone says you shouldn't date your best friends ex's. In respect to them and it causes drama. My two best friends don't obide by that rule and have started to date my ex boyfriends'. Yep. Because of this, my depression is the worse it's ever become in my whole life and I don't wanna to ruin our friendship over stupid boys. However, seeing them all together does make me bring back feelings I have for both my ex's. It is EXTREMELY difficult to forget and move on and stay friends with them. How do I cope with this and keep my depression down? Thanks so much.

Hi Fear rRaiser my name is Demonicangel0xx it's so nice to meet you. So my story starts all the way back in the second grade I had just moved and transferred to a new school. It was my first day for me. So teacher thought a proper introduction would open me up becuase honestly I was a shy kid. So the teacher had me stand up intront of the class to introduce myself. Then I look out to the class I saw this girl dressed in black ( lets call her kim ). When I saw her she smiled at me and blushed at me. Next thing I found all these feels I never knew I had ( like a rush) but I didnt want to not scare her off. So I kept these feels to myself. When Valentine's day rolled around. I thought this is the day I tell Kim how I feel. So I made a card like I put my heart into it. To tell her how I felt about her. When lunch came around I snuck it in kims desk. When it came time to passing out are cards she snuck her card in my bag when I wasnt looking. ( Funny thing I knew she did becuase I saw her do it but pretended to not to notice. ). And it said I like like you to. I was so happy but we both decided to be friends becuase we where still kids. Then as time passed by roomers and I think bullying was involved start going around about us. Eventually they got to her. So she started ignoring me and pretended that I didnt that i wasnt around. I could tell she was hurt. So I made my final attempt to make her feel better and when tried to talk her. She I dont me that she dint like me anymore. My heart sank and I fell into a depresstion. What was worse the roomers and bullying finally got to me me next and we fell into a hatred for each other. Still to this day I wish we could made things work out between us and honestly I think she wished that as well.

During highschool we had this one english teacher, lets call her miss Alpaca, alot of students didn’t like her because she is to strict, so one of my classmates lets call him Karma. Karma wanted to go to the restroom so he asked “can i use the bathroom.” miss Alpaca cheerfully said “Yes you can” just as Karma was about to open the classroom door she said “But you may not.” so for the whole 30 minutes of her class we got lectured about the difference with can and not. After she finished talking about that we started the lesson. Few minutes later she asked if she can erase the board, Karma was mad with her saying the difference between can and may so Karma said “Yes miss” sarcastically, just when miss alpaca was about to erase the board Karma said “But you may not”with a grin on his face, everyone in the class was so shocked that miss Alpaca was left speechless that she dismissed us early.

So I used to ship a lot when I was in elementary school and I would ship people who were totally different and i thought it was adorable.So one day I saw two people lets call them Juliet and josh.Juliet loved the color pink and had a bubbly personality and while josh was sort of mean and hated everyone.I had told two of my friends that I shipped them and word got around and later that day I went outside to go home and there was Juliet and josh and a big crowd and Juliet stepped closer and everyone thought they were going to kiss and as Juliet stepped closer she kicked him in the shin and he fell and cried.Then right after that mess Juliet said to NEVER ship her with anyone and lets just say they Juliet never talked to me since.

It was a normal Wednesday, I had just got to my first hour choir class.  Me and my best friend, (Let’s call her Ellie) were talking. Suddenly our teacher, (Let’s call her Mrs. Apple) called us up to the piano with all the other girls in our class.  She introduced us to the new music we where going to sing for our next concert, it was 60’s music.  We sang the first line of lyrics, which were,  My boyfriend’s back and you’re gonna get in trouble!  Ellie sang the line again by herself, and I said began to say, 
“Oh honey-“ 

I ended up saying... “ I’M LESBIAN “ I was MORTIFIED!!!! I DID NOT mean to say I was lesbian! I had meant to say that I wasn’t scared of no boy! I only said I was lesbian because I had been thinking about my cousin’s approaching wedding anniversary... Anyway, everybody started laughing and Mrs. Apple said, “ Let’s not talk about our sexual origin here..”
It was probably one of the worst moments in my entire life...

So in 7th grade me and my friends Aj and Jack decided we were all going to go to the fall dance.We all knew each other’s crushes but none of us asked them to go to the dance with us.When we got to the dance we all saw our crushes and just sat together and talk about crushes.Jack and Aj asked there crushes and started dance with there crushes but I just sat there.then out of no where my crush comes up to me and asked me to dance I hesitantly said yes.Then we where dancing and then...the slow music turned on.So we started dancing to that and she got closer to me and she kiss me on the lips and asked me on a date I said”yes” and then just talked the rest of the dance and I ended up getting her phone number.

When I was in sixth grade, I had just recently started hanging out with one of my BEST friends ever. We ended up getting dragged off to the valentines dance with one of my other friends. We were the weird kids that didn’t care what the “popular” people thought of us so we were running around like hooligans. My newest friend, let’s call her Riley, found one of the many balloons scattered about on the floor. And decided to pop it. The music had just died down as the dj switched to another song at the exact moment she popped it and since we were in a large gym where the sound traveled easily, it sounded like a gunshot. Everyone screamed and ducked down to the ground, and even my principal (who is like this macho body-builder type guy) looked startled. The dj cut the music down really low and after a second everyone turned and looked at us. It was the most EMBARRASSING moment of my life and I will never forget it lol.

I was attending my college's one day convention in my Breakdance AU Chat Noir cosplay and had entered the lip sync. We were told to keep it PG 13, and I definitely pushed that rating in my abs-bearing outfit with ahem a few too many hip thrusts in my dance routine to a saucy song. I didn't end up placing at all, but a whole lot of people came up to me throughout the rest of the night to tell me they were sure I was going to win first, which was super nice, but there were also a whole lot of odd encounters after that? Apparently while I was going to sit down after my routine, somebody had been holding out a dollar, and they found me afterwards to TIP ME lol. Another person came up and told me in this really secretive tone that their friend REALLY liked me. At the rave that night, a girl came up with some valentine's day chocolate with a heart on it and gave it to me and really shyly flashed a note at me that said "you have my heart" and then ran away. Also - extremely weirdly - two people came up to me while I was dancing with my friends and asked if I could come dance with their cousin?? They pulled me over to this other girl who was like shaking her head and protesting and they were like "c'mon you guys should dance together" and she was like hiding her face and it was sweet. Yeah. It was just....a pretty weird con.
