All I need is a wooden flute and I'll have my own little musical orgy.

Today, deardotti and I oh-so-innocently went out to buy some vanilla soy ice cream to accompany the brownies she'd just made us.

Instead, we came back with:

$100 worth of groceries (including three cans of garbanzo beans and four frozen burritos because I was HUNGRY SHOPPING and no, really, I needed all those beans), a small jade turtle (a late Christmas

*does not have a wooden flute, but offers her own silver flute and her roommate's recorder and tin whistle*

:P

Oooh, neat! I never really got the hang of silver flutes; I remember in middle school trying to play my friends', but I was always more of a clarinet girl myself. I take it you play?

[takethesky87]

I played in band in middle school and then took private lessons in high school, and now I don't really play much at all. A fun hobby, but nothing I want to do seriously after school or whatever. :)

I've always loved the sound of clarinets (when played well, anyway, hehe) but have sadly never picked one up. Clarinets are cool. :D

[trascendenza]

Ah, yeah, I'm much the same with the clarinet; it was fun to play in the middle school band, but if I had one now I doubt I'd do more than take it out at parties just for fun or whatnot. I think part of the reason I like the drums is because they don't require any assembly or complicated parts, they're always just ready to be picked up and played whenever the mood hits!

I'd thought I might be hard-pressed to think more highly of you, but OMG YOU HAVE A DIDGERIDOO. ♥! If you can actually play it, I may have to marry you (such a hardship).

[trascendenza]

DO I HEAR THE SOUND OF WEDDING BELLS, PRAY TELL?

Sound kinda sucks, and HAHAHA, CIRCULAR BREATHING, WHAT'S THAT?, but I've had lots of fun messing around with it!

[simplelyric]

Bwah! Oh, yes: I vow to love, to cherish, and never, ever, ever to make an honest woman out of you.

And I will accompany you with comparable skill on piano, guitar, recorder, or clarinet. Yes, I played the latter in school and still have mine, too. ;-)

I was positive I already had that other journal of yours on one of my Friends lists -- yet, apparently, not. Huh. I'm going to add it now, but if you'd rather I remove it or you'd rather not add it in turn, that's okay.

[trascendenza]

And I vow to love, cherish, and revel in the fact that you are wise enough not to try to make an honest woman out of me! I will play didge in bed and give you all the massages you could ever want. <3

Oooh, piano and guitar. Two instruments I cannot wrap my head around. We are totally instrumentally made for each other. My mom kept my recorder, haha, but alas I didn't keep either my clarinet or bass clarinet. I probably wouldn't even know what to do with one if I tried to pick it up now, sadly!

Oh, no problem at all. I'll add you back next time I log into it :D It may go slowly defunct as I use this journal more, but there'll probably be some posts that just "feel" like they should go there, occasionally, so I don't think it'll be completely purposeless to add it. :D

FOOD! *grabby hands* I love beans and burritos very much. And brownies! Mmm, I really have to bake a batch soon. It's been quite a while since the last time.

I suck, because I don't play a musical instrument. I used to have piano lessons, but the piano hates me (my brother is crazy-good with the piano). I've always wanted to play guitar, though. Plus bass and drums.

I had the giganticest burrito today. I nearly couldn't function after I ate it. It was so delicious, but so frighteningly filling.

Well, I didn't play a musical instrument for years. It doesn't mean you suck! I play now because I'm inspired to, but even when I played instruments in middle school it was more for the class than because I wanted to.

Guitar and bass and drums are fun. I've fiddled around with bass a bit and it's not that hard to pick up the basics of it. Guitar seems way harder to me. Drums have a pretty steep learning curve, but it's so worth it, because I think that after learning to play drums many other instruments with seem easier, because drums will really enhance your rhythm.

[disturbed_muse]

Mmm, burrito.

There's this girl in our youth group who plays some wicked drums. It's amazing and completely brilliant. A couple of my cousins play guitar, the electric Iron-Maiden-esque type of songs guitar. They're pretty good. And, heck, Guitar Hero is real damn fun too. Maybe when I'm away from home and get to make a couple of decisions myself.

[trascendenza]

Wait, wait, do you play Guitar Hero? (I've been looking for someone who plays so I can pick their brain about this story I want to write.)

Eeek, yeah, making decisions for oneself is really an essential element to life, in my experience. I can't wait for you to have that. <3
