Saying I'll be working on music all the time without sounding boring.

[killerman]

So there's this girl who i've got to know at work recently. She knows that I'm a guy who's passionate about playing/writing/recording music. Now the thing is I have BIG goals, and I want to be WORLD CLASS. As a result music is what I spend working on througout the vast majority of my free time because in order to get amazing at something you need put in the hours. However today she asked me what I'm doing this weekend and I told her that I'll be working on my music, and as a result she said I need some "destruction" in my life, I think implying that my lifestyle is boring? How do I convey that i'll be working on my passion without sounding boring seeing as that's what I do most of the time? It's worth remembering she probably imagines cool, interesting guys as guys who every weekend are going hiking, drinking, meeting friends, going on adventures etc as that's what most people's idea of cool people who have interesting lives is but I'm not interested in doing that as that's not a recipe to becoming anything awesome or achieving great things, it's just a way of passing the time whereas I want to be at the TOP. So how do I say I'll be working my ass on my music without sounding boring?

I think she was looking for an opening in your schedule where you two could find some time together. That was an opportunity to make her qualify herself.

I think if you are going to block out a whole weekend then you need to be specific about what you are doing. Say:

"We have studio time from 1:00am to 6:00 am because that was the only time open between Jay-Z and Mariah."

"I'm using the Recital hall from 6:00 until 10:00 to really get solid on my Solo. "

"I'm gonna take about 4 hours to sleep, around noon, then grab a bite at the Blues Cafe downtown before I go rehearse with my group at the practice rooms."

"I've got just a little time in the evening to decompress if you wanna hang out before I go back in the studio?" (create a time constraint and opportunity for her to accept your invite.)
