The Why: i finally got my braces off 2 weeks ago

I used to be able to whistle before I got braces four years ago. Well, it was kinda sad whistling, but at least I could do it.

Then, I tried to after I got my braces and just couldn’t. I couldn’t see any point in learning how to whistle with braces if I was just going to get them off in a few months. Four years later they finally came off and I tried to whistle but apparently I forgot!

It’s been months since the braces came off and I’ve only tried a few times but I still can’t whistle. I would really like to be able to whistle the theme to Ed, Edd, ‘n Eddy:

I just want a little musical talent 6 months ago

I can’t play the piano, I tried the clairenet (however you spell it) I tried the drums, the flute, but nope, geez at least let me be able to whistle a song…I think I’m talking to God right now, but ya, rock band and guitar hero is the only refuge for my musical sorrows, but just to walk down the street at the sound of my own joy…that all :).

update: omg i am so not joking, I go to my brother and I ask if he knows how to whistle then he full on sings a freakin song, f_ing hell…umm ya God you missed! yes, I asked for some tips aftr the shock.

I have time on my hands so don’t judge; moving on, my whistling sounds like im tuning a radio trying to find the right frequency…and I think my lungs need a rest T_T.

update: 12/23/08
On the 21st I recorded how I sounded when I whistle, (it was bad, just in case you were curious) and today I whistled again to hear the progress compared to when I first got serious and I have to say, go me; I can whistle my airy tune with out gasping for air (ha ha a pun).

Update: 12/26/08
Okay so i’m going to sign this off as a goal accomplished…I mean I can’t whistle like this link which was me shooting for the stars, on the way up there though I landed on a mountain, I can whisle on cammand now, and I huff a puff a little toon
_ which makes me happy. so yup!

I find it odd that i can’t do this i think it might be because i have a thick tongue, i’ve tried every way of blowing but only can make a low whistling type sound….It sucks…

I can't whistle! 11 months ago

A source of continuing embarrassment since my youth. I am very sensitive about this, due to the immediate reaction whenever a whistler finds this out about someone, “What you can’t whistle? It’s easy>” Well, no, it’s not easy for everyone.

I hope to be able to learn to whistle in secret and shock the hell out of my boyfriend someday. Haha.
