Orchestra Weekend! Castles! And a question.

[vivien_sivvus]

The question first: Would you ever write yourself into a story? Have you already done so? Which would be more important for you- creating your personality or creating your appearance? How would you change it?

I'm kinda asking because of a thread by... I think it's Osprey Archer, on appearance vs. skills.

Well, I've just returned from another

I've never written myself into a story; I have written characters in the past that embodied what I wanted to be - idealised versions of me, I suppose. They were always cleverer, quicker, funnier than I was, because that's what I aspired to - so that's my answer to the ability v's appearance debate.

Your orchestra sounds like fun. I played in orchestras before I went to Uni (very, very badly), but direction in a 70 piece brass band consists of "Piano...that means quietly!"

Piano means *loud* in a brass band, doesn't it? And then forte means "Right, let's deafen the audience!"

And fortissimo means "Try and blow the front row out of their seats!" Good clean fun.

Hehehe :P

The problem is that when brass players try to do that in orchestras, the strings are between them and the audience. Makes for some interesting concerts!
