So I slapped together a simple little semi-friends only banner and posted that, along with contact information in a post under that. Especially to anyone who got my AIM recently -- I JUST changed my screenname (like, today) because I have excellent timing

And I'm so jealous of people who know how to play the piano, mostly because I gave up after two years because I never managed to read notes properly and my prof was dead set against me playing by memory/the ear. MY TRAGIC PAST, LET ME WHINE AT YOU.
My forever unfulfilled dream is to be able to play 'tatakau monotachi' one day, but man, it's a little piece of hell. Or this, but it doesn't sound any less difficult. I AM A MASOCHIST AT HEART.
ANYWAY, I second person above me: hope you find something to un-bore you, it's such an amazing instrument after all!

WHAT THAT'S TRAGIC D: Actually, it is saddening because you can achieve anything with the right amount of time -- with piano you kind of have to find a mode that works best for you. It's kind of funny that I hated it until I realized I didn't mind playing certain pieces, and all of a sudden I was all "STFU I NEED PEACE AND QUIET TO PLAY /makes more noise"
I don't think my family likes me practicing at near-midnight as I'm inclined to do. D:
(also, if I didn't have school soon I would be finding sheet music for both of those pieces PRONTO. They both sound so amazing lksdhfl)

They're not even really ~pretty~, but it's still too lulzy an occasion to pass up.
I KNOW IT IS! But I suspect my past self's stubbornness to be a big part in this, too. My past self was a pain in the ass, sometimes. Nowadays, I see the notes more like an alphabet to learn, and that can't be so hard now, can it (I mean, I can read japanese and hebrew, why not notes this is ridiculous). But of course, present self lacks a piano, and I've heard a piano takes up a rather important part in this whole 'learn to play' business :| one day~
I found them sheets for the tatakau monotachi here (at the bottom, called 'fighting' and split in two parts actually both parts contain the exact same thing, so no need to download both). I think it's the right thing, at least the title matches.
But seriously, if you manage to tackle that one down? You will be my hero for all eternity.

I still am stubborn, I blame my Zodiac sign entirely for that. Music is indeed an entirely different alphabet, and (from the looks of what you know) if you view it like that it'd be a whole lot easier to learn. But PSH WHO NEEDS A PIANO TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY ONE THAT'S LUDICROUS
hurr Final Fantasy why are you so awesome D: Thank you so much for the sheet music, I'll definitely try it out! I want to be an eternal hero

Can I blame my zodiac for being kind of WHATEVERRRR about things at time? I'm a libra, if that helps. And the notes = alphabet connection only happened a few weeks ago. I think I head-desked.
I KNOW I CAN'T EVEN FATHOM HOW I GET SUCH WEIRD IDEAS! I usually pass an instrument-shop on my way to school, and today, they were having a sale on the pianos! 19000.- instead of 22000.- A REAL BARGAIN I AM TEMPTED
Go on! Good luck! Be a hero! It's worth it*!
* I do not know what 'it' is, but I'm sure it's totally worth 'it'.

I have this insane stubbornness and will to accomplish and I contribute it to being a Taurus (my brother's a Libra, though :o).
I think my piano was like $15000 or something, it was a clearance sale. It's starting to get nastily out of tune orz.
I tried it out already! It's harder than I initially thought, but if I put some practice into it, I think it should come along sooner than later. It'll keep me busy, at least~
pfft, if I get to be a hero it's definitely worth it

You can, uh, obtain a fortune and just store your piano at my house and just buy plane tickets to Canada whenever you want to play it? I've got room for another OR YOU CAN GET A HAMMERSPACE
For someone who stands at about 170 cm tall, I have very short arms, small hands, and short fingers. Not good for piano playing orz. But hey, I'll keep trying and I'll tell you once I get the hang of it. :D
