(no subject)
Senior recital in a couple weeks. I'm doing okay; a lot better than I thought I would, in fact. I was expecting panic attacks, insomnia by now. It was when this girl that I know told me that she respected me because I just DO whatever the fuck I want, without caring what anybody thinks (which isn't totally true. Everyone cares what everyone thinks. Saying you don't care what anyone thinks only means that you CARE that people don't think you care).
It got kind of scary for a second because my tendonitis started to rear its ugly head. Practicing in 20-minute increments is helping a lot, both in my mental and physical efficacy.
Recital - April 27th
CD Release show - May 13th
TOUR - May 14 - 18th
and then, the beyond!
The Beyond...
that's a whole other story, but I've been thinking about it. Maybe I'll take up belly dancing again. I'm going to work on getting few students. Work on playing OUT more. Get a wedding quartet together. Play more in the fiddle scene. This summer I need to go to fiddle camps and connect more in that community.
Life is just around the corner.
Also, I'm going to try this thing where I leave my cell phone at home while I'm at school or work. Before I went to bed last night I had this nostalgia of only answering phone calls on the landline. When you hung out with someone, it was planned, and you didn't have a distraction or other imminent plans in a couple hours. You sat with it. Too often I see people checking their phones or playing with them or texting others while in company (yes, I'm guilty too). We'll see how it goes.
