I'm a good mood. I have been, lately. After the choir concert, it was set. The climax of the semester is over. For sure, now. Now it's just finals. Easy. Just 3 more days, and it's break time. No more choir concerts, auditions, or anything besides Chemistry to worry about until January. For now, I'm quite pleased.
If anyone has $129.88 they want to spend on my Christmas present... I'm not weirdly obsessive or anything, looking online for hours till I find the right one... Like I normally do... this one was sitting out in K-Mart, so of course I had to go up and play it. My God, it sounded good.
Choir Concert last night. We were by popular opinion the second best choir (show choir was the best, and is always going to be the best, because they a)have more people, b)are more balanced between male and female, c) audition to join, so they actually work and d) they dance to disco songs. So, considering we were up against that, and came in second, we did reasonably well. Of course, we just beat the 7, 8, and 9 grade choirs. Which isn't saying a lot. The 7th graders were talking during the performance. *their* performance. They were on stage, song filling the air around them, and they were talking to each other. The 8th graders were decent, except for the 8th grade soloist, who was FUCKING INCREDIBLE. Oh my god, she was good. The 9th grade soloist was singing in a different key from the rest of the choir (for those of you who are completely tone-deaf, that means OUCH FOR THE EARS and CRINGE for the SOUL)... So yeah, we were without any major problems. Actually, we were without almost any problems. We did pretty well, overall. I'm proud.
I have my christmas shopping done. I think. ..... I hope. :/
I know the first page of Moonlight Sonata. My version has 3 pages. So, I'm doing well enough. Heh.
I downloaded two more jazzy-bluesy sheet music things today... Greensleeves and Scarborough Fair. Both sound really cool. Well, on the mp3. My keyboard is completely touch-insensitive... meaning that there are two positions for each key--off, and loud. No P and MP and F and what have you. It's I and O for me. That's why I want my new keyboard. Byt anyway... doesn't sound as good. Can't play as expressively.
Ok, enough music rambling, for sure.

About Me
- Patrick
- Because I change my mind faster than a pregnant politician with ADHD on cocaine, I try to update my About Me section every once in a while. My number-one philosophy is to 'keep it real.' It sounds so trite when I say it with that phrase, but it's true. Though, in the spirit of keeping it real, I'll be the first to admit that I have my problems adhering to the principle. Everything that I do is somehow connected to the Drama Department. I find myself stressed out, and I think "I need to stop doing so much crap!" and I go and try out for every play that we do. But it's worth it. I love it. Even if I am a crappy actor.

Well, the song itself isn't really... It's a jazzy/bluesish version of it. The mp3 sounds really cool, but I have yet to play the first 3 chords smoothly, so it'll be a while before I can show it off.
Kaisha wants a new keyboard too. I got my current one for my 11th birthday...so, yeah. It's not that brilliant and kind of old.
