romantic confusion
on: September 23, 2006, 09:01:31 PM
i should not be confused at all,if it were not for someone decorating my name and making moveable notes dancing around in hot pink.  why are women so easily lured?  did God make us with half a brain?  and, now - all of a sudden after years of enduring scorn and ridicule - all of a sudden i get this out of the blue vague indication of recognition from thal (after he doesn't return my e-mails calling them spam).  going with the flow - anytime thereafter that i sent a message - i always labeled them 'spam.' 

he is tricking me, is he not?  it is a conspiracy.  first he says 300 miles off the coast of scotland.  and, he never said what happened to the old girlfriends.  what did happen to them?

if i died tommorrow, i would be happy.  this is too much for one week.  first moveable hot pink notes, and now fireworks.  leucippus, i would be at your doorstep just for the mention of five pianos in the house, a man who chops his own wood, and only eats organic garden produce.  next thing you know, you'll say you have 12 rose bushes in the front yard.

ok. tell me about these pianos.  are they all different brands so you can play whichever one that suits the music?  or do you favor one over the other?  how did you end up with so many pianos?

ps you have more definable techniques than thal.

Dear Pianistimo,


I envision thee in reverie
dancing on the keys
with plunging undulations
causing envy in the seas

Your exacting virtuosity
and splendid musicality
producing awesome harmonies
of grand congeniality

My pianos come to life
with the magic of your touch
I look forward to your teachings
as I surely need a crutch

My five pianos wait for you
as they sit amid the dust
waiting for your fiery passion
and the fervor of your lust

~~~

Can't say how much i love you so
My heart beats faster (that is true)
Every time i think of you

I dream when we will be together
Live as one for ever and ever
When i hear the sound of tiny feet
I know my life will be complete

So leave your husband, marry me
Jump on a plane and cross the sea
I promise i won't be a sod
I'll go to church and worship God

So how about it, what dya say
Just say yes and make my day
Make me happy, never sad
Love and kisses

alack, thou two doest confuse me more!  twis twruly twot twalbergmad twas joking.
rimv2 cannot possibly be my husband - so he must be in someone elses kitchen.  the name rimv2 sounds so bicyclish.  sometimes i wonder, 'do i know these people?'  and especially leucippus - although i can't say i know anyone 6'2.  how does he know i play virtuosically? well, i'll tell you one thing - i used to play the waldstein like nobody's business.  and, the tempest.  but, the thing is - as women age - they become like fine wine and probably end up savoring the music they already know instead of making deep cuts into new repertoire.  for instance, i've had this barber nocturne which is only 4 pages.  do i have it memorized.  i turn away ashamed.  too much fun playing random transcriptions that i got from thal.  yes.  you can have my bike if i die.  i am afraid your feet might get stuck in the pedals, though. they are those clamping kind. 

say, today i saw an awful lot of squirrels jaywalking on the bike trail.

hmmm.  twif i were single and 20 years younger, and able to party.  and could party.  and even knew how to party.  i'd go out with all three of you.  claiming, 'nothing serious.'  then, i would ask each one of you different kinds of questions.     i'm not sure what they would be - because at this middle stage of my life - i think it is pointless to ask men questions.  as pianowelsh apty pointed out - they can pretty much say whatever makes them look good.  i might have to , then, resort to some kind of a strength test.  rimv2 - how far he could bicycle  thalbergmad - maybe a triathalon of sorts  leucippus - how much wood he could chop and how fast he could play five pieces on the five different pianos.  oh, the life of single women - just requesting more and more and more.  all for the slight hope of a man that he might get lucky.  of course, knowing what i do now - how lucky is man going to be with me?  i drive thal mad even now.

must admit - leucippus has it all down.  the poetry, the music.  but, then thal is quite heartfelt.  and rimv2 probably has a decent kitchen table.  one good table could make up for about 2 pianos.  and, if he has several bicycles - that's good. 

ok.  here's the deal.  you can practice on me to say and do things that you think might work on a woman...and then go try them on someone else.  i say, you all win.  you are all romantic in some form or another.  besides poetry, also women love to be sung to.  my hsuband stole my heart by sending me a tape of about 20 romantic pieces that he sung.  i would put it under my pillow and listen every night.   after about 3 days - i was convinced he was the man for me.  that's all that did it.

yeah.  he's really sweet.  he keeps our anniversary every month, too.  we usually go out. 

what i think is romantic is the opposite of many things that he think is.  we've always sort of been 'at odds' but completely happy with each other.  i thought a man that could dance and would want to go out dancing a lot.  well, the first time i approached that subject he gave me about 20 reasons that he couldn't, wouldn't, and won't dance.  for him, any girl in a thong is romantic.  i've worn one once or twice.  they aren't my cup of tea. 

so - we have to make up for these things by substituting other things.  for us, it ended up being bicycling.  i would say i have completely forgotten how important i thought dancing would be.  and, if my husband wouldn't read the novels he occasionally reads - he wouldn't have some notion of a midnight swim and then a girl climbing a rock cliff in nothing but a bikini.  i can't climb rock cliffs in my condition anyways.  i would say i have substituted massage techiques for that one.  he won't let me try the last type of massage that they do in thailand, where you hold onto a pole and walk from one end of a man's back to the other.  but, we have this lotion that heats up and gives him sunburns occasionally.

wow.  pianolist, that was great!  such nice sound from both percy grainger and granados.  granados really had a handle on the lightness and delicacy of the scarlatti, and percy, of course, on just making it up as he goes.  that is fantastic!  of course, this is anything BUT piano - so we should make a concession here and realize that if it is anything else but piano it is trivial.  trivial pursuits.  of course, love is not trivial - but once you've found it it is.  wait.  that is not a romantic statement.  love is hte most important thing in the world.  once you have found it - you can really make music.  and, yet, unfullfilled, unrequited love brings out the best in men.  i think you should all stay single.  all except pianowolfi. aw, rats, pianolist is married, too.  why should i care?  i'm married, too.  what is this thread but confusion.

For someone who is so weird (imo) about God, Pianistimo m'dear, you are a wise lady in non-religious ways. Bicycling does bridge the gap between dancing and bikinis, and so does music. I expect Guinness does too - my dear old dad always had a couple on his way back from playing the organ at church.

But I prefer married bliss to unrequited love. Perhaps one needs it to be unrequited at some stage in life, or one needs tragedy of some sort, but people are like gasometers. Someone pours love in, be it parents or partners, and the more there is, the more can pour out, in either a personal way, or through music. I suspect the unfulfilled romantics on this forum had happy childhoods.

It took me to the age of 52 to find my heart's desire. Actually, she found me by luring me on to the dance floor after a concert in which she was in the chorus, and I in the accompaniment. Dancing has a lot to answer for.

'perhaps one needs it to be unrequited at some later stage in life.'  ahahahahah.  that is the funniest thing i have read all day (besides ingagroznya's messages). 

the truth of the matter is that funny things are often true.  take for instance the longing looks i have when peering into dance studios.  when younger, i might have just taken the plunge and gone to a dance class without him.  now, i wouldn't dream of it.  there's something irresistable about him and i wouldn't want to dance with anyone else.  just as he says he hates eating by himself and would rather skip a meal and eat later if it means we will eat together.   wait.  that didn't sound right.

that is basically the only thing i found i didn't like about being single (besides being sex starved) was eating alone.  i think the solution is to become a really good cook and have neighbors and friends eat over a lot.  the typical solution is to eat out - alone- but that only feeds on itself.  if you actually cook - you get these smells wafting out of your kitchen and if nothing else - gather the cats in the neighborhood.  but, more likely - women and men of all sorts that are hungry after work. 

i would approach single life (if i were single again) as a sort of euphoric ability to do whatever you want to do and practice a lot.  with the advent of computers - people can probably have cyber-mates and claim marriage on that basis.  creating all the features of the mate they want out of thin air.  i'm not sure how far you can take that one.  the reality of marrying a live person is that they are not like you in every instance.  some of the bigger ones can be snoring or things like that.  compulsive sweating when going through rem states.

But I prefer married bliss to unrequited love.

I do too!

It may appear that I'm a flirtatious cad on the forums, but in reality I would never flirt with a married woman.  First off, I'm an extremely believer in monogamy and loyalty, and secondly why would I want a woman who would so readily leave her husband?  That means that she would just as easily leave me!

Having fun on a forum for kicks is one thing.   Hitting on someone's wife in real life is a whole other story.

I'm extremely monogamous-minded.  I'm extremely family-oriented, and loyal to the core.  I've never married, but I haven't really run around much either.   I've only had about 5 girlfriends in my entire life (I'm 57 now).  So that's about one girlfriend for ever 10 years of adult life.  Hardly a "run-a-round". ;D

I'm very much of a homebody and recluse.  Yet at the same time I'm extremely romantic.  I would love to find a special partner to dump all my romance on.  To me, sharing the seemingly mundane tasks of everyday life would be a romantic notion.  Now if I can only find a partner who can see romance in the mundane I'll be home free.

It's encouraging to hear that you found you partner at the age of 52.  That kind of shines a little light at the end of my tunnel where I was beginning to believe there might actually be a dead-end wall.

when i first moved to pennsylvania - to beat the monotony - i signed up for these day hikes along the appalachian trail.  though i don't dance without my husband - i do hike.  or did, until i broke my leg.  anyways, they have these things to do on the weekend through the local community college.  people do all sorts of things here.  cayaking, canoeing, horseback riding, rock climbing.  i met some park rangers who were really nice.  they knew the names of all the trees and brush and what animal was recently nibbling here and there.  i don't know why - but i find that a turn-on.  i was watching the guy talk - and thought 'i'd better mind my p's and q's.'  it made me want to ask more questions.  it's like you ask one question and you get this long long response as if that question was the most important question in the world.  the truth of the matter was that i just moved here and was bored out of my mind.

I think to be the sort of musician who can speak through music to people's happinesses and sufferings, it is not a bad thing to have experienced love and sadness at first hand. I was only suggesting that unrequited love is a good idea at some stage in life, not at a later stage specifically!

Kissin has obviously had an awful life. You only have to look at his robotic movements on the stage. A conductor who shall forever remain nameless once observed to me that, "What that young man needs is several weeks of hot sex!" I think maybe Mr Kissin has since made up for some of his lost time, but even so, I do hope he finds love. His superb technique needs to be allied to a depth of emotion which he has so far not experienced, in my opinion.

By the way, Keystoners, I visit the Lehigh Valley every other year or so. One of the main piano roll perforating operations in the US is in Center Street, Bethlehem. Bet ya didn't know that!

I would think that any human being who has lived for very long at all would have experienced love and sadness first hand.

Whether they did this in an intimate romantic relationship or not is really not important.  I believe that some people are capable of loving animals more deeply than some other people are actually capable of loving each other.

I also believe that some people simply don't feel love very profoundly at all.  Having relationships doesn't mean a thing for those people with respect to having experienced love.  They simply go through the motions but don't feel much.

On the other hand, some other people can be deeply hurt, or have extremely strong feelings for others even though they may never get the opportunity to share those feelings.  The emotions of love and sadness are still very real whether they are shared with another or not.

Of course, it would be difficult to experience the feeling of having been loved by another without direct interaction.   But then again, just because someone goes through the motions of claiming to love you does that automatically qualify as the experience?  Probably not.  It probably depends on how true their claim is and whether or not they actually act on it.

Being told that you're loved is just words.  Being made to feel that you are loved is a direct experience.  My dog can make me feel loved, but she can never say the words. ;)

i just wnat to say that the human voice can be sort of, well, 'hypnotizing.'  i can't say that everyone's voice turns me on like my husbands - but when i heard his voice - that's all that i needed to hear.  it doesn't really matter what he says or sings - it's just the singing and talking on it's own.  usually, he gets his way because i get sidetracked by his voice.  i just nod and whatever it is - it's ok by me.

leucippus - i think you are going to have to stay in the mountains.  if you lived in philadelphia, i'd want to play on your pianos and then hang around.  pretty soon my husband would be wondering.  and, then everything would be really turned upside down.  my children are very possessive of me and didn't even like me taking piano lessons because i said my teacher was good looking.

but, sometime if you want a concert - come directly to my house when my hubby is here and he'll sing and i'll play.  then, you can get some idea of the musicality of our household.  he is an excellent singer and i think i play ok.  if i had a better piano - i could control it more.  sometimes the bass is staccato.  but, we'll just have pianolist turn it into a pianoroll next time he's in lehigh valley.

you HAVe to hear the allentown band.  it is a superiorly good band.  last time they had a marimbist which was incredible.  every summer they do something in/around july.

i just wnat to say that the human voice can be sort of, well, 'hypnotizing.' 

I met a woman on the Internet and we hit it off really well in emails.  We finally decided to take our romance to the phone.  She gave me her phone number.

I dialed the number and almost died when the woman answered.  She had the most beautiful sensuous voice I ever heard in my life!  I mean it was overpowering!  I almost had orgasmic spasms right there and then.   Unfortunately it turned out to be the wrong number.

When I finally did get the right woman on the phone her voice was the extreme opposite.  She spoke much faster in a higher pitched shrilly voice.  It was harsh and cold, almost superficial sounding, like there was no real substance beneath it.  Her voice alone turned me off so much that it was impossible to have any kind of romantic feelings of attraction for her after that.

So, yes, there's a lot to be said for the sound of a person's voice.  And the way they speak too.  The first woman spoke with a slow sensuous drawl that lulled me into a state of erotic ecstasy, the second woman sounded like a Marine drill sergeant named Gomer Pile.

that's funny.  a man called just the other day.  and i barely said hello and he said 'oops.  wrong number.'  i just said 'ok.'  i was thinking it was my voice or something. 

sometimes i change my voice when it's teachers and people from my husband's work calling.  i try to make my voice sound deeper and more authoritative.

he sounded too young to be a shrink.  he sounded like a piano forumer.  very shy.  sort of scared of women.

This is like appearing in Casablanca! I bet you have very wide eyes sometimes.

I'm glad there is a safe haven on this forum for middle-aged chaps like the fellows on this thread, and for 29-year-old ladies like you. There is so much talk of technique and exercises and interpretation, as though playing the piano is like going to the gym. Playing the piano is like making love, and I don't mean bonking, at least not exclusively. Playing the piano (or for me, the pianola), is like talking to the dog, or smiling sideways at a friend, or holding someone whose best friend has died, or indeed, Leucippus, like doing the washing up together. I had a hack at Lang Lang elsewhere on the forum - it's the way he uses the piano so determinedly for his own success that grieves me. There is no sharing of joy, but you can't explain that to those who don't understand it anyway.

Have you ever had your hair done in Allentown or Bethlehem, P? My piano roll friends' day jobs are owning and running the main beauty salons in both parts of town.

I'm going to log off and hit the hay. It's just after 2.45 am in my loft in Hither Green, and my dearly beloved is sleeping soundly downstairs.

i just wnat to say that the human voice can be sort of, well, 'hypnotizing.'  i can't say that everyone's voice turns me on like my husbands - but when i heard his voice - that's all that i needed to hear.  it doesn't really matter what he says or sings - it's just the singing and talking on it's own.  usually, he gets his way because i get sidetracked by his voice.  i just nod and whatever it is - it's ok by me.

leucippus - i think you are going to have to stay in the mountains.  if you lived in philadelphia, i'd want to play on your pianos and then hang around.  pretty soon my husband would be wondering.  and, then everything would be really turned upside down.  my children are very possessive of me and didn't even like me taking piano lessons because i said my teacher was good looking.

but, sometime if you want a concert - come directly to my house when my hubby is here and he'll sing and i'll play.  then, you can get some idea of the musicality of our household.  he is an excellent singer and i think i play ok.  if i had a better piano - i could control it more.  sometimes the bass is staccato.  but, we'll just have pianolist turn it into a pianoroll next time he's in lehigh valley.

you HAVe to hear the allentown band.  it is a superiorly good band.  last time they had a marimbist which was incredible.  every summer they do something in/around july.
 

Sounds like and invitation ;)


But ah dont remember agreeing to sing so you can get some poontang on the side.

Ahll let you have yer way with Leucy if you dont mind me shackin up with that saucy Aussie :-*

you people are wierd.  bonking?  poontang?  my eyes aren't wide anymore.  they're peering through 5 am fog and i can't understand what i am reading.  luecy.  saucy aussie.  you mean ingagroznya?  she and i just express ourselves without much inhibition.  for me it is age, for her it is youth.  anyway, i am married and she is taken.  or, she was.  i don't really know how she got to oakland.  last i knew she was married next to the statue of stalin with a justice of peace walking out on the sidewalk and back into the building nearby.   remember she married the shy guy.  it is usually that way.  a strong woman, a shy man.  they are more easily manipulated.  but, she found out that he had been hiding the fact that he had a hernia.  it seemed to bother their sex life?  i don't really know.  the last i heard he was doubled over and she was having to lead him around moaning.  it got old, so she left him.  now, my husband isn't at that stage yet.  i don't think i'd leave him if he started floating on water.  but, we're not recently married - so that could explain the ease with which ingagroznya just left the guy for aukland or oakland. 

what a terrible thing to end up in oakland when you meant aukland.  i almost believe her.  stuck in oakland?  that is terrible.  oakland isn't anything like auckland.  i hope she makes it the rest of the way.   i just don't know how she will deal with all the gangbangers there in california.  not sure about drug problems in auckland.  when i think of oakland, i think trucker, druggies, and smashed car windows.  perhaps farming - but only with pesticides.  sad drinking water.   very hot, muggy weather.

of course, pennsylvania is finally getting some really nice weather after some mugginess,too.  we also get flooding.  lots of mold and mildew in the lower regions of pa.  but, in general more honest people.  i can't explain it.  it is like everyone is born honest around here.  perhaps they are mostly pennsylvania dutch.  there are a very high percentage of 'flaxen hair' girls around here.  the guys look like they stepped off the dutch boy paint can.  and, surprisingly, to me - a high percentage of irish people.  seems that wherever else i lived - i couldn't relate.   now, the grocery lady here has actual conversations with me.  i think the irish are very communicative with their own kind.  the neighbor across the street kitty-corner i found out grew up amish.  that explains his fabulous garden.  but, he doesn't talk at all.  occasionally he waves - but i think in the amish culture - you aren't supposed to wave at women -s o he does it really fast and then goes in the backyard garden.  my five year old goes over a lot and helps him rake grass and talks his ear off.

You should email your husband as much as you post here, perhaps  ;).  Or take up the viola and join a symphony!  8)

IF you want to be technical then we can say that there exists an object such that...  
Or she defines her life in periods of months.  That could make it easier to get through.

What Alistair?  Viola is a great instrument, and you don't have to start it when you're 4 because there's less competition.  I would take up the cello to play in the symphony.

How or whether she defines her life in monthly periods is not something on which I can speculate...

Of course it is! I'd not have written for it in my quintet or quartet if I'd thought otherwise! My reference here was - as I'm sure will be clear to some - prompted by the superabundance of viola jokes in existence, the funniest of which have always been told to me by really good viola players...

I am very sorry.  I had no idea it would end this way.  On the other hand, in my math class I learned that the sun weighs 5 seconds.  And I can prove it, if you'd like.  In my physics class I learned that a bra is a column vector (Or a row vector, can't remember which lol.)  (From the BraKet Notation, of course.)

A Bra is only a column vector when it's hanging in the closet. 

It's a row vector when in use.  ;)

So, yes, there's a lot to be said for the sound of a person's voice.  And the way they speak too. 

Agreed.

I for one, could never fall for a woman with a strong Bronx or Brooklyn accent. Both of these accents are harsh, and very hard on the ears.

I'm surprised that those people have sex at all — with anyone but deaf mutes.  ;D ;D ;D ;D
