Cello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mom just bought me a used cello in beautiful condition for $200.
For those of you that don't know, my cello was bashed over the top of an Oldsmobile almost 11 years ago (when I was 15). I never thought I deserved to spend $1500+ on just myself. No one else was going to benefit from me playing and I certainly wasn't going to do this for a living.
I made due with my guitars, the flute I got in forth grade, my harp (till that got lost/stolen by and ex) and my voice. The problem? I'm a soprano but I feel in bass. The low, resonating tones of the cello speak of longing, the kind of depth begging for metaphor. The cello still needs to be re-strung and named but she's mine, all mine.
OK. I'm almost done being obnoxious.
I talked to Rowen briefly today. He is going to come visit the last weekend in October.
So, basically today was awesome. The world is a good place. And now Hava, Maggie and I can start a punk rock, all girl, string trio and rule the world!
*luckily all this random joy coincides with my new resolution to actual post stuff
