This morning at 1:31 AM I officially became legal to post on violinist.com because I turned 13! (Sorry about all that illegal posting for the last 11 months.) I opened presents this morning. Among my favorites were... tickets to the musical Wicked on Broadway in August!!! We got the CD and stuff and we've been listening to it for a really long time. It's definitely one of my favorites, if not my favorite musical. I'm so excited! We'll go see it after Encore and before Kinhaven.

Another present I got was a MINI IPOD! It's PINK and I love it! When my mom ordered it, she asked them to engrave "alicelizard's" above the word IPOD on the back! My sister loaded a lot of music on it for me in advance. It will be really helpful if I can get a lot of concertos and stuff on it so next time I won't have to spend forever looking for the CD!

About a month ago we bought new shoes for Calla for her birthday on April 14, and we also bought some for me that would be a birthday present. But when we opened them this morning, the box had in it two right shoes that were different sizes and different colors! This surprised us a lot! We're going to see if we can take them back this morning and get the matching shoe.

The kitten is purring happily on my lap. She is so cute and she and Mr. Bad, the dog, are getting along splendidly. We still don't have an official name for her, but last night Madeline suggested Maybelline (we got the idea from a drawing Madeline did when she was 4, she wrote her d's backwards and signed it Mabeline.) Also Madeline suggested we could call her Maybe for short! (She got this from a tv show she watches, but I think it's a cute idea.) Calla is reluctant, but we will conquer in the end.

I started working on the Siciliano (sp?) in the g minor sonata and the third movement of the Wieniaski. I'm trying to think of some stuff I can brush up and take with me to Encore. My teacher suggested redoing the Bruch. I really only did the third movement in performances and stuff, but I don't think the first and second will be too hard to get going.

Happy Birthday! *throws confetti*

Curious, when did you begin the violin?
