Piano

I've been playing the piano since I was six. I love playing piano. I placed second in two piano competitions. So I always wonder why I barely know anyone who plays the piano, or at least, seriously. 
 People think piano is boring and difficult. But that's like anything else! You can't give up just because starting is slow.

The only things I don't like is practicing for an hour a day and not being able to take my piano on trips with me. 

I'm practicing four pieces now-



This one is my favorite.

 


I also play this one.

What instruments do you play?


I have a cold. I don't think I'll post from Christmas Day-New Years day.

    I also play the piano, although I haven't been playing for nearly as long as you have. I play while the offering is being passed around my church usually on Sunday nights. Those songs that you posted are very pretty, and terrifyingly complicated. :-D

    I've played violin for like, five years. And I love it so so much :)

    I like your blog design. :D

    I've been playing piano for about 5 years, but we no longer have a teacher because no one in this podunk town offers lessons. ;-;
    I'm trying to keep playing regularly, but its hard because I never have time.

    I used to take violin. I didn't quit taking. We just couldn't find another teacher for me. The first one was awful, the second I couldn't take from anymore, the third moved away, and the forth was awful. After the forth, we didn't have much to choose from. There aren't many violin teahers here. =P I was really good at it too. I was first chair. (Not to brag or anything. ;D) I haven't played in so long that I'd have to really work hard to catch back up. I have considered taking it up again, but the program we would use is expensive. I want to be sure before I take it again.

    I play violin too!!! I also play the viola. I like both, but right now I'm playing the viola in orchestra, and I'm one of two violists. Yay Leia, First Chair!!!!!!! I'm Principal Viola in my Orchestra, and I've only been playing the viola for around six months!!!! Violin is more competitive in Orchestra, but I still play it by myself. I have been playing it for eight years now. I have alot of experience with the Violin, and I know alot more songs. That's so cool that you play piano, Amaranthine, my cousin and my sister play, and I think it's a cool instrument. Not boring at all!!
    BTW, I have a cold too. I'm just getting over it. I think that this is the first year I'm sick at Christmas.

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhel...

Howl's Moving Castle book analysis

“I feel ill. I'm going to bed, where I may die.” ― Howl, upon having a cold. I've decided to call them "book analysis" because they're not really reviews that tell you how much I liked the book, rather,  me taking the book apart and looking at different aspects of it for my own entertainment. Read on. Also, read Howl's Moving Castle. This is the original cover of Howl's Moving Castle and I have got to say it is the UGLIEST thing I have ever seen. I like the new one much better. Ahem. First of all, I should point out that Howl's Moving Castle is a children's book. However, I like to hold all books I read to the same standard, after all, they're written by adults. I had biased expectations of Howl's Moving Castle from the start, because I kept hearing from several sources how amazing, how fantastic, how hilarious and how romantic the book was, and hearing the perfectly gorgeous soundtrack by Joe Hizazi(somethin...

Her Universe

  Before I start, let me just say this. I appreciate what Ashley Eckstein is doing. It's obvious she really cares about and is enthusiastic about her line, and she's using her position to make our days(and wardrobes, apparently) a little more cheerful. However, I don't think Her Universe is the huge movement she expects it to be. The website   talks about how female SW fans have a hard time finding merchandise designed "just for us" and the trials of having to wear either "very girly stuff" or "men's stuff in small sizes."   This post from Club Jade clearly favors and is enthusiastic of Her Universe. Vivenne's comment,(the 6th) says everything more eloquently than I ever could. "However, it’s NOT our turn. We’re NOT getting what they’ve got. I STILL don’t wear Star Wars franchise stuff because there is no way I can afford Her Universe. $30 for a TEE SHIRT? No. No no no. I’ll keep buying the $9.99 shirts for g...
