Where have I been?
Well...let's see, I've been gone for a very long time now, almost around 5 months. Where have I been? Busy, with so many out of school extra curric. than I can handle.

Even now, I have Band and Choir Solo and Ensemble competion coming up, along with the tests for the Vocally Gifted ID-ing. Guitar lessons have been extremely busy, because we're in the middle of recording one of the songs I've written and laying down the tracks, while in piano and voice lessons, I'm memorizing Yasashii Yoake ((That's right, from .Hack//SIGN, the ending theme)) to sing for the recital.
As well, I have talent show at the end of the school year that I'm preparing for, and Mrs. Ray, our gifted language arts teacher, has been packing it on kinda heavy. ^^;

Actually, I just got home from our choir concert, and its 8:30 pm over here. There really wasn't much difficulty with the songs, considering how boringly easy and dumb they are, but I was asked to turn the pages for the accompanyist while she played. I almost messed up a few times. ^^; For those of you who think I'm nutso for talking about how difficult page turning is, let me make this a little easier to understand XP. First off, the pieces go extremely fast, and you have to be able to read music and know what it sounds like on the piano in order to even follow the music. Easy for me ^^; Then, there was the whole 'piano bench being too small for two people.' During practices, I actually fell off the bench a few times during a piece from my knee giving out on me. Thankfully, they had a chair set up during the concert ((hallelujah)).

Our band concert didn't go by too long ago, and testing got done a few weeks ago. For the band concert, we sped up waaay too many times, while the grade above us played a piece called "Vulcan" and their percussion section sounded like Gods compared to ours. X_x

For our music appreciation class, I decided to be an absolute idiot and try and write out the piano accompanyment piece for a 'song' we had to write. ><; Let's see, I'm about halfway done with it in two weeks, and uh... I finally got it through my head to do the necessary part first, which was just the melody and THEN try and do the accompanyment. Of course now I only have two days to get the whole thing wrapped up..but.. *shrugs* Meh, I figure it out XD.

>>; Lots of music related things, I know. But eh... music ish meh life XP With the nine weeks being over on Thursday, I'm just trying to get all my work in from all the sick days I've taken out. I swear, everytime the flu or something is going around, my immune system shuts down, and I end up sick and out of school for a week, and still fighting the 'whatever disease' for another month.

And still being the nerd that I've always been, I've been reading lots of Fan fiction for various animes, as well as reading poetry, philosophy, and how to drawing books, taking a little bit from each style and incorporating it into my own. So far, I haven't found just one style I like.

Got the two .Hack//SIGN OST's a month or so ago. Love them both, and they've quickly become my favorite CD's. If you've never heard the music, or any of the pieces played before, I reccomend at least going somewhere to download it and see what it sounds like. Beautiful music :3

Well, That's all I have to say for now, and I'm just glad to have stopped by after so long XD See you all soon, hopefully!

P.S. We redid my room. Now, instead of it being light pink, its blue. I plan on doing a mural of a snow scene in the arctic. Now my entire room is done with everything wolf X3 I love it! <3
