Whoa, I'm procrastinating dinner since I have no idea what I'm going to have...that's really unfortunate and weird ahhaha
Ok so....
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I PICKED A NEW FLUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The chosen one goes on record for having won the battle on 1/11/2007. It's a Haynes from JBW and it's just lovely. I am going to play it some more this weekend just be sure, and then send it back on Tuesday I guess to go from there. It actually turned out that I was the first one to try this flute since JBW had just brought it back from his girlfriend/ fiancee. She owned it for 1.5 years over in Utah (she got a gold one for Christmas....Damn!) So he had hand carved the headjoint for her too, which he was indeed proud of hahaha thank god she got a new one, because I really like her old flute!!! I'm definitely sure this was the best one out of the 5 I had on trial and therefore better than all the rest I tried that I didn't take on trial ahhahaa. It's soooo exciting. JS heard them all yesterday and agreed that the one I had put as tentative #1 was definitely the best one for me :)
Thanks to the lovely lesson yesterday, I was reminded I still do all this weird shit with my neck, arms, shoulders, and air that make me sound not so great but this flute seems to have all of it there waiting for me! I had another 1/2 long tone lesson which he gets really excited about, much like Andrews, and it was intense, tiring, tedious but especially interesting!!! I have a long way to go, listening constantly and getting what I want to hear, all the time........definitely the ongoing challenge.
I've also come to some more conclusions about my pickiness in potential relationships. I seem to be quite confused/ confusing lately which is really unfortunate (my new overused phrase) but... all for the better when I lay it out in my actual written journal. I've preferred older men because I liked to think they may have learned more about how to treat/deal/act with women. Really, I find it just depends on the man and the way two people interact. As Julie said a moment ago, if it's right between the two people, reciprocation will just be there. The equal feelings, respect, openness, and comfort should not have to be tried, pushed, prodded, or reminded. It's so ideal isn't it? ahhaha I'll have to remind myself some more not to try too hard, especially if I'm already not happy. Randomness.
Ahhhhh, it's been a lazy lazy day here.
I'm officially back to being the piccolo bitch. I am excited actually.
Classes start on Tuesday, along with two sets of orchestra rehearsals....back into the busy rehearsal times hahah
I actually have classes this semester and it seems busy already: Dalcroze Eurhythmics for Grads I, Analytical Techniques and Terminology, Seminar on Baroque Instrument Ornamentation (I think..), Piano (final semester), along with orchestra, lab orchestra hopefully, work study job, rep ensemble, 2 chamber groups, 2 bassoonists recitals, and MY recital which I am planning for March 24th!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm excited for sure.
