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

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GET BORED, OKAY because getting bored with what I was being given to play and ending up unable to even read music anymore as a result is probably still one of the biggest regrets of my life. Not to sound conceited or anything, but I was pretty talented, and I always think about how skilled I could be now if I'd stuck with piano beyond 4-5 years.

But you didn't ask for half my life's story, pfft. One of my favorite pieces is The Heart Asks Pleasure First, although it's kinda sad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dPS-EHl-FE It's the song I'm most determined to learn once I...finally get around to relearning how to play...so I've got sheet music somewhere on my computer if you're interested. Oh, and I'll add your new screenname.

OKAY I'LL GO FIND THAT HUGE BOOK OF CLASSICAL MUSIC AND PLAY IT UNTIL IT'S MEMORIZED 8C I never want to give up playing, because like you (also not to sound conceited) I do have quite a talent bitches don't know 'bout my sight reading and I at least want to get my exam next year finished to accomplish the non-professional levels.

Sad pieces are my strength because I can draw emotion out of them. I've heard that song before and I've been trying to find the title forever, so thank you for that and sheet music would be mucho appreciated. ♥ I'll be using my old screenname for another day or so just to tell some contacts about my new one, then I'll switch over to that one permanently.

I lol'd =D (and did you know? They actually bred an edelweiss that survives as a potted plant. I am so getting one this year.)

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!

(potted edelweiss? I am so getting one. I need a furry flower.)

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)

[lemiru]

they're a relative novelty, I think, last year was the second year on the market or something. But I'm stupid and missed the oportunity go me.
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.

[xx_hail]

they're fuzzy flowers though, who cares if they look terrifying?

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

[kaisuopai]

Oh hello

Lux Aeterna does have a piano version, but I'm not quite sure where to find the sheet music for it (or whether the arrangement is any good). The second Pokemon movie has a theme (The Great Guardian) which is pretty awesome, but likewise the whole non-canon-piano-version thing is annoying. OKAY I'M NOT BEING HELPFUL D:

I've only played classical pieces thus far; if you're looking for quiet melancholy, Pavane pour une enfant defunte (Ravel) is a good one, and Clair de Lune (Debussy) is also fun. The third movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is neither melancholical nor sad, but *fun* - if you like loud, fast, stormy pieces.

[xx_hail]

oh god the second Pokemon movie. Brings back some pretty good memories, I used to love those movies I may or may not still slightly enjoy them but moreso the games

I've never played anything by Ravel, but I remember trying out Clair de Lune and the Moonlight Sonata last year. I should try checking them out again, seeing as I've advanced a whole grade and some since I last bothered to play them (they're tons of fun, though, you're right). Will look into Pavane, thanks! :D
