What's on your mind now?

[littletune]

I'm thinking I should post a picture of myself with moustache     

[thalbergmad]

Why not post a picture without a moustache and we will have a competition to see who can make the funniest picture of you with a moustache.

Would deserve its own threead.

That laughing movie was even funnier to me. I often thought as I rode that very metro on cold and dark Paris mornings that there must be a way to liven things up. It was ride with the same depressed people day after day. I wish I had thought of staring a laughing fit then..

That film maker is very talented. His next project should be to get out of France!

[littletune]

So I don't know why I have so little time now  I always want to post so many things and then I just don't have enough time!  I have to post some new pictures of my toys!! And I have to post a picture of me with a moustache... I think on one picture I really look JUST like a guy!!  And I also really wanted to post a picture of my mum! But I'm not sure if she will let me  because she is always saying that she looks too ugly and fat and old and I don't know what else on pictures!  And I mean sure everyone looks weird on some pictures and I took some weird pictures of myself to show her that I look really weird on some pictures too.... but I don't know..... I think she looks really pretty on some pictures that I want to post... but I don't know if she would let me... And I also have to post some cute pictures of my animals... and.... some other things....... just too much!!!  And I don't know why I'm writing about all this now  I'm just talking too much now... I also just start talking to myself and today I didn't even sleep that much cause I was just talking to myself  I guess some people think I'm crazy for talking to myself but I have always been talking to myself. well I mean I just talk in my mind or I'm like whispering  I guess that is why I don't have that much time now! Cause I'm just talking too much !! oh well

No. You are not talking too much
And talking to yourself doesn't mean you're crazy Of course not  
But if something is too much for you, for yourself, if it's confusing you or if it's hurting you or if it feels like you might get out of balance: Just don't do it!
That's very important!

[elspeth]

If I stopped talking to myself I'd never get anything done!

I'm thinking about serendipity at the moment. A chance meeting with an old friend has revealed we're doing some very similar work at the moment, so we are going to get back together to work on it together instead of separately. Sometimes people just appear in your life when you're ready for them.

Thank you Wolfi!!    

Hmmm... but so what if I felt like there's just too much school and I needed a break for awhile...    Just kidding... I mean I get sick anyway when I have too much school     

[littletune]

Where's my mum?  She had a meeting or something before I went to music theory and she's still not home!! I'm starting to get worried! 

[littletune]

Where is Bob?  Isn't he usually on Pianostreet almost every day?

[birba]

Where was your mom that she was so late?

[littletune]

She was at a meeting at work... and she thought it was supposed to start earlier but then it started later and also after the meeting they had to prepare something cause they will have a play or a puppet show for kids tomorrow (cause she works at preschool). So that's why she was so late

[m1469]

ahhhh ... for some reason a puppet show sounds a bit like candy to my mind right now.  Even though I think puppets are a little strange.  I sure like the muppets though ... *sings* "It's time to put on makeup, it's time to have a ball ... du du du du du du du..."

[goldentone]

. . . on the Muppet Show tonight!

[littletune]

So I had weird dreams today  well first I was dreaming that there was a lot of people... and we were supposed to do something (don't remember what) but I was doing everything wrong  and everyone was angry with me and I was really sad and then we were watching a movie or something and I don't even know what it was about but I just felt like crying and I tried not to cry but then I just started to cry really a lot  and then I started crying so much that I woke up and I was really crying and when I opened my eyes I had so much tears in my eyes... and I didn't even know why I was crying so much... and then I fell asleep again and I was dreaming I had my piano lesson (but it wasn't with my piano teacher but with another teacher) and it was like a day before my piano exam!!  well I didn't really know why I had my piano exam so soon, like at the beginning of the year and not at the end of the year like last year... but well I wanted to start playing one piece and I wanted to find the sheet music for it but I just couldn't!! and I looked through my books like 5 times but it just wasn't there! and then my lesson was already over!! And I had exam next morning! but before the exam I had to go somewhere to see some people and tell them that I will be doing exam and I thought that was really weird because I didn't have to do anything like that the year before! But I had to go there anyway.... and it was really scary!!! All the people looked really angry and they said that this year it was going to be a lot more difficult and scary! and I had to answer some questions about myself and then I had to answer a really weird question that wasn't even about music... it was about history or something (but not music history), and it wasn't a question like when or what happened but it was like: why did people do something the way they did and not some other way... and I really didn't know what to answer and then all the people were looking me like      like how can I not know how to answer that.... and then I didn't even answer everything and I just left and then I couldn't even remember anymore all the pieces that I was supposed to play at my exam.... and then my phone started ringing and I was really happy I woke up!  I just got up right away!

[littletune]

Yesterday (November 11) was my grandma's birthday!  well... she is an angel now... she died before I was even born  But she kinda new about me anyway before she died she told my mum that she was going to have a little girl (because all my mum's sisters had only boys before that) and then my mum really got a girl  (even though I'm sometimes a lot like a boy too ) and I kinda knew about her too cause once when I was 3 I just told my mum I knew about her and my mum was like  because they never told me that she had died because I was still too young and  my mum didn't know how she could explain that to a 2 year old. But then she didn't even have to because I just knew it    so I wanted to say happy birthday!!  (Oh and we both have birthday on 11th! only I have it in August  )   

[littletune]

I found this:
https://picdit.wordpress.com/2008/11/20/a-20-year-old-model-photographed-as-if-she-were-10-20-30-40-50-and-60-years-old/
I thought it was really cool!  They made pictures with the same model and made her look different ages! Now I really wanna make pictures like that of myself too!!!  I wanna make pictures where I look form 1 year to 80 years old!

Horrid day today.

I am sick to death of having to pay the price so women can have their careers and their babies.

[elspeth]

Alleged equality, it's a wonderful thing. Sometimes. Everybody's equal except when they need special treatment for some reason...

I'm thinking about Latin grammar, it's giving me brain-ache. I thought my understanding of grammar was pretty good, but apparently not.

Oh, and Thal, I noticed on the pictures thread that I took an almost identical picture of the stack out to sea off Esha Ness as you posted, we must have been standing in almost exactly the same place...

[thalbergmad]

Oh, and Thal, I noticed on the pictures thread that I took an almost identical picture of the stack out to sea off Esha Ness as you posted, we must have been standing in almost exactly the same place...

There was one of those little passing places on the single track road, and as it was raining i got my mate to jump out and take the photo.

I'm thoughtful like that.

Thal

[elspeth]

I had two weeks' glorious sunshine while I was there, so took my own pics...

[thalbergmad]

How unfortunate for you

Nothing more spectacular than a Shetland storm.

Then you've presumably not experienced more violent ones elsewhere (although maybe that's just as well, really); a group of thunderstorms contriving to collide in Catalunya a few years a ago was pretty spectacular, although the plane from Manchester to Gerona coming down in it was not at all pleasant.

Best,

Alistair

[thalbergmad]

I was caught in a hail storm at Sandwood Bay a few years back. It turned a golden sandy beach completely white in about 5 minutes.

Indeed, I would prefer not to be in the air during a storm, but since my only flight was 15 minutes, it was unlikely that i would have this experience.

[littletune]

I noticed I'm getting a wider gap between my front teeth! I had it when I first got my second teeth and then it got smaller but now the second tooth moved a little more back so it's a little behind the first tooth and the gap beetwen the first teeth got wider again  I hope that's nothing wrong!  I mean I know I should have teeth braces anyway.

[thalbergmad]

Don't worry, that is really good for whistling.

Thal

[littletune]

Really?  I didn't know that  But I know that it's good for spitting water  It looks really cool like a fountain or something  And maybe it will be now easier for me to do that!

One of the most misunderstood treatments of our time are braces. I had and have the exactly same gap. My dentist said that to do anything about it would be a waste of time. He has worn braces until he was 50 and when he took them off the teeth went back to where they were before.

There was a time about 35 or 40 years ago that the "in" thing was to wear braces. It's gone out of fashion probably because it really won't help.

If you do go for it be sure your "first" kiss is with someone who doesn't wear braces.

They do have one advantage. You can hear nearby AM radio stations.

[littletune]

Well I don't know if I'll get braces... they said when I was in first grade that I would maybe have to get them, but then I just got something funny (that I don't even know what's it called) so now I don't know if I'll ever get them or not...
Yes I think I saw that on TV once when two people kissed and then their braces got stuck together! 
You can hear radio stations?? really??  that's kinda weird and kinda cool

Yes, sometimes it happens. For us classical types it will never be *our* kind of music.

I'm in the process of replacing my burned out dentist with the braces. I'm talking to several who have all sorts of different ideas. So far I'm not impressed..

Just got back from a fantastic trip down the East coast of Spain and slept on the Rock of Gibraltar, said hello to the apes and came back via Sevilla. Just a quick week get away.

I hope that you enjoyed it but please note that Spain does not have an "east coast"; it has a north and south coast, but its eastern aspect is a border with France.

Best,

Alistair

[birba]

  I think the coast on the mediterranean pretty much faces east.  And I think the north borders on France, as well as the atlantic ocean.

[oxy60]

I think you both should get out your maps. I watched the sun rise over the Med from Playa Albir  and on the same day watched it set over the Med from Nerja while sitting on the hotel terrace having an adult beverage.

The West coast of Spain is that little piece just above Portugal. That is especially important to air travelers so that if the French ATC is on strike we can still go directly to the (ATL) US. Of course any Brit knows the North coast because that is where the ferry departs for the UK.

[birba]

That's exactly what I said.

[littletune]

Bob hasn't been on Pianostreet for two weeks already!!!   

This week is Zecchino d'Oro (little kids singing) and I almost missed it because it didn't say in our TV guide that it was this week!  It's a good thing I looked on the internet! I missed Tuesday and Wednesday but I watched it today and I will watch it tomorrow and on Saturday    And on Saturday I will also watch JESC (i know noone here watches that but I like it  ).

Why did I always write " tuseday" I really thought it's written that way! and just this week I saw that it's really "tuesday"!!     

[pianowolfi]

Why did I always write " tuseday" I really thought it's written that way! and just this week I saw that it's really "tuesday"!!     

Don't worry. Even many native English speakers write "peice" instead of "piece", "wierd" instead of "weird"
And, guess what? Even they write often SONG instead of piece 

  

[pianisten1989]

I have "I'm so going to marry Emma Watson some day" on my mind. .. Either she wants it or not!

[littletune]

Hmm... funny... I kinda have " I'm going to marry someone some day"  on my mind too today  
But I'm NOT telling who!  And I mean it's not like really  cause I don't even wanna get married  .... but if I ever wanted to get married, which I wouldn't anyway!, then I know who I would wanna marry      but I mean it's kinda stupid, if I don't even wanna get married     

[pianisten1989]

I probably don't want to get married either.. But if I do, it will be with her! ... Even though it's not very likely

[thalbergmad]

She has the body of a 12 year old boy.

Needs to fatten a bit.

Thal

[oxy60]

Hey Thal, nice to see a post from you. At one point you were talking about cutting back on your logons and I see you have, even though I don't know who you are talking about.

It's has been a solid three weeks since Bob has posted anything. Anybody know why?

Right now what is on my mind is one of the advantages of being on the East coast of Spain and watching a full moon rise over the Med. Saturday was the "official" day of a full moon but for us here we get the day before and the day after. Last night it rose during the "pink" moment so you see a golden moon rising against a pink sky.. Not to be missed!

[littletune]

I'm worried about Bob!    cause he was usually on Pianostreet almost every day! And now he hasn't been for sooo long!!!  I hope he's ok!!!

[m1469]

I'm just kind of wondering if there's anything under the sun that Lang Lang DOESN'T play.  Seriously, Lang Lang, I know you're lurking ... just let us know.  Or at least private message the answer to me.  I won't tell.  I'll just be grateful.  Unless I just get jealous.  I'm not going to get jealous.  I mean, I'm not going to lie, I AM a little jealous ... but, I know I'm not supposed to be.  I'm supposed to just be happy being myself.  But, while we're talking about it all, I would like to know if you're happy ... you know, deeply happy.  Or, are you getting a little tired of all of it?  Do you know who you are anymore or is it getting a little difficult to know that without the stage?  I mean that sincerely.  Sometimes even after one single performance I get a little out of this world feeling.  If my whole life were like that, I think it could be difficult to feel at all normal.  Not that I feel actually normal, but you know what I mean.  

*passes Lang Lang the peanuts*

I'm also extremely curious about your practice habits and such.  How long do you work on pieces before you perform them?  I know, it would vary a bit, but still.  Anyway, I just watched about you in Vienna.  Good stuff.  Good stuff.  I guess I'll snap out of siestaville and get back to the piano.

[pocho]

My mind is boggling with the prospect and outcome of my next recital in mid-December.

One piece is ready, the other is not.

With my current attitude, both will definitely be going toward the road of incompleteness in a matter of days.

[littletune]

Look what I have in my new Etudes 3 book:      I mean not the whole book is like this, just this page and the next one is a little funny too but not that much... but this one is really funny and I have NO idea how you're supposed to play it  (even though there are some directions below). Well I know you're supposed to play some things with your fist and the side of your hand or even with lower part of your arm or something  well I think it's funny     

[birba]

I think it's great that a  beginner's book is preparing you for what you might encounter in the future!

[furtwaengler]

I was just thinking of the nature of these internet forums and lists and how we don't really know each other. Specifically, we care about each others well being, but if one of us were to get ill or die suddenly, we might not ever know about it. How would we? It's a morbid thought, but it's unlikely everyone who has been registered with this site is still living. I was thinking about this because of the disappearance of a solid contributor on a group I belong too. There have been occasions where illness has been made known by a family member, or a case I remember of the death of a man very dear to a certain email list I'm on (such lists are generally more involving as far as personal information)...but the nature of these boards, or at least my approach has been purposefully more hidden. I was even afraid to join and contribute at first because for some reason I was afraid somebody (among the small amount of people I know) would recognize me! Do you ever think these things or am I just in left field?

(Sorry, I know it's thanksgiving...not a thankful subject!)

[birba]

Be sure you're not the only one with these thoughts!
