Big Words and Panic

Wed Sep 30, 2009, 8:33 PM
Yeah. So I pretty much haven't updated in several months. Don't kill me.
I'm kinda, you know, buried in mounds of everything- literal, figurative, tangible, intangible. Mostly self-imposed.
Like today. I WAS learning the Pathetique sonata on piano, but my brain said NAH, just out of the blue, even though i love that piece and i think it's incredibly beautiful. My brain wanted to do an INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT Chopin prelude. For no reason.
Now, on a piano nerd-related note, this is mostly due to the fact that it is incredibly hard for my hand to stretch to the positions necessary to hit most of these notes. It's not an incredibly difficult piece in any other regard.

Oh god. I just looked that up on youtube and it seems i didn't notice the fact that it's played at least five times faster than i was doing it.
Oh well.
TIME TO FIND A NEW SONG BECAUSE THAT SOUNDS HIDEOUS.

Also I've been learning, like, three languages.
In spurts, mind you, i'm not going to pretend like i'm capable of doing three languages at once. not including spanish, which i'm doing at school.
though that's not really pushing my limits, if you get what i'm saying.

Anyhow.
The thing is, I haven't really had much- or any- time to take pictures, write, etc. as of late, due to the fact that i've been doing the following:
A. Playing the piano more than any normal being should be able to without his/her hands falling off
B. Playing the guitar... okay, not that much, i've kinda been neglecting it and it shows but that is NOT THE ISSUE
C. Utterly decimating my trig grade (and by this i mean I GOT A B ON THE TEST OMG EVERYTHING IS DED FOREVR){Yes, I know I'm stupid, you don't have to remind me}
D. Playing TF2. Shut up.

So. You might see more from me soon, maybe you'll have to wait until winter break when I can escape into the San Luis valley for a few days and take pictures of the sand dunes covered in snow.
That might be nice.

Anyhow, enough of my ridiculous digressions, that is what is happening and I hope you all are satisfied with my explanation.
Now, it is far later than I thought it was, and I should be heading to bed. Au revoir.
Yes, I did have some tea while writing this. Can you tell?
It was decaffeinated Earl Grey. I think it shows.
