Mr. D thinks that I have an imagination, but of course I have to disagree with him. I don't know how to creatively express myself in any way. Doing things without structure make me uncomfortable, even if I'm good at the thing I'm being asked to make my own. For example, when I play the bassoon and the oboe (yes, laugh) I don't know how to make a song my own. I have to play it exactly the way it's written unless someone tells me how to add detail and my own style to it. My teacher sometimes get frustrated (well not really) with me because I don't know how to "noodle". "Noodling" is where you just play around with different notes and scales that you like to warm up. I feel like I am physically unable to do this because I'm afraid I'll sound stupid. I know this isn't true however because the point of "noodling" isn't to sound good, it's just to warm your instrument up.
Because I love it so much, I'm just going to throw something about TKD (tae kwon do) in here. Tae kwon do is a very structured sport and there's not too much you can do to it to make it your own. I love the structure of it, and how your being told what to do. I learn so much better this way. I think that might be part of the reason why I'm good at it and like it so much.
