Logomania Unleashed! Part 2
This madness most exquisitely lexical leads us dizzied and dazzled into Part 2 of the June Random Thread, where over and under the warp of being we weave the weft of words.

My day was great………………untill K, J, and O, along w/my li’l sis, messed it up, that is. So my sis, M, had a a gig this morning at a church with C, who is a boy, and O, who is a girl and one year younger than me,. who are both also students of M’s violin teacher, Mr. TC. And so C lives like an hour away from the area, and Mr TC was having a studio recital for all of his students like two hours from then in the same area, so C’s parents and mine decided to go to this Mexican place together. So we go to lunch, and it’s great fun, with the parents on one table and us kids at another. (C is a shy person and hardly ever talks, but for some reason, he comes out of his shell for me……….wonder why?) C and I have a pun tournament, and we both end up gasping with laughter, we talk about books, etc. Then we leave for yet another church, where the recital was taking place. C and M go get out their violins, and I help J and K’s moms to set up the reception tables. After the recital, everyone grabs some food off the table, and I end up hanging out with J, K, and O, who are all girls. J is a month older than me, K I’m not sure about her age but she’s about the same age as J and I, and O, as I said before, is a year younger. (And M is two years younger, btw.) So we’re just chillin’ out, and then K whispers something to J, and I hear my name, so I’m like, “What’re you two whispering about?” and then–
K- ok, we’ll tell you, but please don’t be mad!
Me-uh, ok?
J-*whispering* K thinks C has a crush on you!
Me-WHAT!?
K-because he keeps staring at you, look, he’s doing it again!
Me-*is looking* No, he’s talking to A’s granny!
J-well, he was!
O-ooh, do you like C?
Me-no, I don’t have any crushes!
M-didn’t you like __?
Me-no.
O-ooh, look, she’s blushing! (referring to me)
Me-yeah, right. I told you, I don’t have any crushes! Wanna play tag?
*runs off*
Me- I’m it!
*tags C*
Me-hey, C, you’re it now!
C-ok!
*C tags K*
*K chases C and tags C*
*C tags me*
O-*giggles and whispers* Ooh, he tagged you!
Me-*groans* Well, this is TAG, and he’s IT, and I’m the slowest one……….!
Whadda I do? What if he actually DOES like me!? *screams* *dies*

I used to suck on the lead end of my pencils. Everybody told me I would get sick and die. That was when I was in first and second grade. Now, I’m in sixth, and I’m still not dead…………..

I have been playing piano since first grade, and started the clarinet two Januaries ago! A tip for clarinet, esp if you are teaching yourself: Essential Elements 2000 (Comprehensive Band Method) is a good starter. I am on Book Four of that series (which means I’ve finished each book in about six-eight months) but you needn’t expect yourself to progress that fast, especially without a teacher. My teacher says I am about the same level now as a student that has played six+ years, and I already know all the music theory and rhythm and what symbols mean what, etc. But now, back to the topic. I definitely think EE2000 would be a good starter.
Also, how much do you practice each day? I do piano one hour, and clarinet thirty min. I find that what I learn with one instrument, I can apply to the other. For instance, playing the clarinet has greatly improved my sight-reading, which was pretty bad at first, and because I had already been playing the piano, I didn’t have to learn all the symbols and how to read music.
Good luck! And remember that I’m always willing to help.

Yeah, my mom’s Jap. Hehe my sis plays piano and violin, and I play piano and clarinet lol! And my friend Ty (whose mom is from Thailand) plays the piano too! haha.
Re: EE-If you do get it, where in the front of Book One it says how to take care of it and all that, I will quote from Reed Placement “Lower the ligature and position the reed so that only a hairline of the mouthpiece can be seen above the reed” it should really be “Lower the ligature and position the reed so that only a hairline of the reed can be seen above the mouthpiece”. Just so you know.

136-I like taking pics, and my dad helps me sometimes, but mostly I’ve figured all my stuff out myself. My avatar, for one, is one of my fave pics that I’ve taken.

I’m homeschooled! A whole bunch of Americans are homeschooling. My standarized test, I got really good scores. I don’t want you all to think I’m bragging, though, so I won’t tell you what my average score was.

Heh. I do. But two of my friends, they’re sisters, and one time, they got $100 for behaving on a plane trip that was mainly so they could take their favourite American Girl dolls to some place and have the doll’s hair done and all that. And their house is waaay huge. And I’m like, “WHAT!?” THey have like 10-15 AG dolls each, plus furniture and accesories and mini dolls.
