Off to AZ

December 19, 2005 at 7:20 PM

In one hour and fifty minutes I will be heading to Arizona for Christmas.
Ergo, i probably won't be posting as much.

I found out how much of a music geek I truly am the other day; Dad popped in a CD of the Kreutzer Sonata (we have quite a few recordings of it) and after the first note (literally), I stuck my head out and yelled "KREISLER!" Dad was shocked (I was right, of course).
:-D

My aunt and uncle sent me a dictionary of musical terms for Christmas. Has anyone else read a dictionary for a solid hour? I just did. What an Orch Dork I am.

Of course, mio piccolino bambina farfalla principessa...a.k.a violinus meus...is coming along for the airplane ride. It's all wrapped up in cloths and sponges to prevent breakage (my greatest fear). My teacher and I always get stopped for our violins to be examined by officials. Mr. Neal says the security guards always hassle him, but the ones I've encountered (whilest they do always strip search my case) are always nice. Maybe a seemingly-eighteen-year-old, innocent-looking girl, batting her heavily mascara-ed eyelashes up at them softens their hearts (everyone who knows me and is reading this is now laughing).

So anyways, I'm all packed and ready to go.

Sydney, I have NOT forgotten a/b you. Lots of crazy happenings (will inform you later) so I'll write you asap, ok?

MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU ALL!!!!
(I felt like being politically-incorrect)

How dare you wish me a merry day without first checking which day my god tells me to be merry on!

Oh don't worry, I have been really busy too but...what did you think of the last thing I forwarded to you? Oh my goodness. Have a great time is OZ (I wish ; ) - I mean AZ. Are you visiting G.parents?

Loved you description of the "seemingly 18-year-old batting her lashes..." I'll try that and they'd be like "Hey! Why is that 12-year-old flirting with me?" I'll try to remine sanguine through finals. I see you finally named your violin. The name Guadalupe has stuck to mine. I guess it's official. I have been toying with it for the last year.

Wow, that was a long comment!
