In the last two days,
rhobike handed me lots of lovely cheap books she found for me (with
lcohen enabling), and
grumqa BROUGHT ME A GUITAR and talked music with me for a long time. I have good friends.
(All of the rest of you are of course wonderful too! I'm just especially vulnerable to books and music.)
My fingers already hurt from messing around with the guitar. And this time I've learned from my previous mistakes--I went out this morning and bought myself a couple of useful books so that I have no excuse not to practice.
