The Boast Post

[1n50mn14]

I had my first formal harp lesson this past weekend. The best part is, it was with Sylvia Woods! Then, I went to her concert and attended her workshop. All kinds of light bulbs went off in my head; I learned more about chords than I ever thought I could know! So, I'm sorry if I'm scarce for a little while, but I'm compelled to practice!

No way! That is so cool!!!

I got a LOT done today: I finally did my hair (eyay! Pink-ness again!), had a 1 year anniversary supper with my boy (eyay! Proudness), and fixed my cheetah print skirt, cause the zipper was broken. =[

Yay Becca! I fought off religious fanatics and blogged. I've been sick...
Anyone care to go read my blog? I wrote my speech for Latin class on the blog, in which I burst into tears right in the middle of it! It's something I've worked on for a while, and I'm presenting it to my class tonight, and to the Regionals Judges, on Saturday. Any vomments would be much appreciated!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, my thesis is almost finished! my boyfriend and me will proofread it tomorrow and I have to add a tiny little conclusion (in addition to my theoretical conclusions). then we have to format the appendices and print it. I hope there won't be any problems.....

I'm beginning to think that half of what I wrote it B.S. but I'll have to hand it in the way it is. If I go and revise everything, I'll end up going around in circles for 20 more pages.
keep your fingers crossed!

I would love to read what you think is B.S. ha ha

Anyhow, glad that you got this behind you, and good luck in the grade you get. p.s. I thought that you were married...

thanks kiz
hehe, yeah, I call my boyfriend "hubby", although we're not married YET. hehe, sorry if I confused you. but seeing as we're going to marry anyway (maybe in 2 yrs?), you can think of us as married

edit:trust me, you wouldn't want to read it. even if it's not bull it is so confusing it's nearly driving me crazy. it made perfect sense as long as I hadn't written in down, but now it's driving me crazy and I keep forgetting my own line of argument....

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ee

I've handed in my thesis
I'm beginning to think it's all crap, but at least I'm rid of it

Congratulations.

Well, this is not a sort of a sudden breakthrough but I still must brag that Il Trovatore is going quite well. I am performing, in the opera chorus, on big stage. There will be seven performances this season.
And I even have my part by heart and I can act and it is quite fun, actually, by now. The director is French, can't speak Estonian and doesn't speak English very well and uses a translator and stuff, but he's cool. And the actors are cool too, especially one that plays the part of Ferrando, but perhaps it is because that the choir doesn't communicate much with other actors, but Ferrando as a captain/general/something like that communicates a lot with his soldiers in the opera.
And it is quite fun to play a redshirt, actually.

Oh, and quote of the day, from the directors helper, also French, also not very good with English, trying to tell me I should look more unkempt:
"You look too straight"

Ha ha, that's exactly how I felt when I had handed in my theses, but they turned out well. So I expect you will do fine.

Great quote, Taliesin!

And congratulations. Il Trovatore is a great opera, and being on stage is a wonderful thing. I predict you will become addicted to it!

[kiz_paws]

Great stuff, Taliesin! That is fantastic (and I enjoyed that quote, ha ha). And SleepyWitch, thanks for that 'hubby' explanation -- cute! Happy times now for you -- now that the headache of writing the paper is done -- Signed Sealed and Delivered YAYAY!

[by the way, hello to Barbara who I have not 'seen' in a long time!]

I'm a regular in a Facebook group on waiting until marriage to have sex. As one of the few atheists in a largely theistic community, I have the opportunity to shake things up and offer an alternative viewpoint on a regular basis. I feel like I'm making a difference and giving people some perspective on what we atheists are like.

Hehe, I can relate to that. It feels wonderful to get rid of a responsibility! Congratulations!

And she was the the director's helper in translation? Heh in this case I am quite sure there would be some more fun stuff awaiting you.

Indeed you are.

Hmmm following Robin's example, I think I have got something to boast about. I am a Pakistani, yet I am not a terrorist.

Congrats, Sleepy and Taliesin!!! And to Robin for a) his interesting views; and b)atheism and Serenity

Doubleboast for me - got better grades than half my class here although I was doing everything in a different language (mostly by studying insanely) . . . and am going to have a poem published!

Go Robin! Nice to spread the word in such a creative away, and in such a suprising environment.
