Stuff and things
I haven't posted in a while. Some things:
• Practicing tonight was fun. Prokofiev is a crazy mofo. SRSLY. The recapitulation in the sonata I'm playing just goes berserk. He takes every single theme from the entire movement and smashes them on top of each other. Your hands are flying all over the place, crossing each other. It's totally awesome.
• Piano lesson yesterday was good, even though I had hardly practiced in couple weeks. Different from last semester: I now leave lessons feeling better than I walked in. This is a major and important change.
• Spring break was good. Diamond Mountain University is a cool Buddhist retreat center. Will have to write more about later.
• Acroyoga in Tucson was awesome, as was getting to briefly see schnarkola. Learned TONS of new stuff. Got many compliments from the teacher, and he wants me to come perform with him in the fall at a thing in Sedona. I also have a friend here who wants to put together an acro burlesque show.
• Backpacking was fun, but the Mazatzal Wilderness was a bit disappointing. I still haven't found nature in Arizona that really sends me. The grand canyon is an exception to that. My boots suck and need to go back to REI. My new Arc'teryx Naos backpack is the greatest piece of gear since sliced awesome. It fits SOOO well and is incredibly comfortable. I have no bruises or sore spots or anything from the backpack. Also, I seem to be in really good shape and can cover terrain quickly. And my knees don't suck!
• Girls are tantalizing and frustrating. One girl I'm very interested in has said she's also interested in me, but is unavailable due to complicated relationship circumstances. We flirt a lot and it is fun but frustrating. Another girl I'm interested in is also flirty, but is in a relationship (at least according to facebook). The girl I dated briefly a few months ago reappeared out of the void, and we had a lot of fun hanging out the other day. It's frustrating that we're both very attracted to each other, but she can't keep clear boundaries. She says doesn't want to date or sleep together because I've made it clear I don't see serious long term potential, yet whenever we hang out we end up making out until she pulls away . Argh.
