What with all the brilliant Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy - the man, not the game) & Patrick Wolfishness,

*hugs you bigtime* Thanks so much for the encouragement!! I admit, I overthink things sometimes, I will certainly try to follow your advice though. :) I do hope my hands are better learners than my stupid brain. blah. I just keep thinking that if I can just try a bit harder it will get better but, as my teacher is always telling me, I "have to relax!" So yes, I think I'll get some red wine (well, red wine is good for all ailments!) to help me out with that a little. ;) I was always embarrassingly horrible at math but somehow the Fournier curve was still comforting. lolz! It DOES mean that things will get better, right?

God, I SO admire you!!! You've been playing since you were four? That's completely fucking brilliant!!! Do you play professionally now? Not that it really matters, music is so very personal. I know it's rather silly to start so late in life but I just Wanted to play so very badly and I LOVE it!! I think there is absolutely nothing on earth like the sound of a violin to inspire feelings of.. well, it's so incredibly beautiful that it hurts, you know?
