I attended my first rock and roll concert just the other day. It wasn't exactly what I expected, but it was absolutely fantastic. Everyone around you is dancing or moshing or whatever you all call it, and the music was extremely loud and the band members were very into it and Sergei is a rock star. I should like to go to another one of his concerts, if not more.

Christmas break is for intense practicing. I've been at my cello more and more lately, and I've found that sometimes, I just need a break. The halls are empty and gloomy and there's nothing to do. How many of you have gone home? How many of you have been practicing over the holidays?

	I do not practice. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	You should. ~~It would be nice to have the company.~~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Why? I am already good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shosty 2008-12-24 04:40 am UTC (link)
	Because. Why don't you practice? There is ALWAYS room for improvement. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This is why I practice guitar, I am still improving that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That is very true. But. You can do that at home. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hard to practice when there's so many opporunities to kill your friends with snowballs. First rock concert? Who'd you see? My first concert was Barenaked Ladies. Yeah. I'm that awesome. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	That is not what is important, though. I do not understand this strange fascination with throwing balls at each other. I saw Firebird, and they were the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Need to destress somehow. Ever been in a snowball fight? Firebird? Never heard of 'em. Good, huh? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shosty 2008-12-24 04:55 am UTC (link)
	No. And I'm not sure I want to. They're fantastic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	firebird 2008-12-24 05:48 am UTC (link)
	Fantastic? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shosty 2008-12-24 05:49 am UTC (link)
	Oh! Um. Well. Yes. Fantastic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	YOU SHOULD IT'S FUN. Have to check them out, then. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There is almost nothing to do but practice. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	shosty 2008-12-24 04:59 am UTC (link)
	My sentiments exactly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	How is your practicing going? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shosty 2008-12-24 05:08 am UTC (link)
	It's mediocre, unfortunately. It's hard to concentrate sometimes, you know? How is yours? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jjqbarbecue 2008-12-24 05:10 am UTC (link)
	About the same. Just not in the mood right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shosty 2008-12-24 05:12 am UTC (link)
	I don't think the problem is inside of the practice room; it's just getting in there. I need so much insentive lately. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	~~Sergei?~~ I don't make it up to the school much. Mainly, I sit and practice on my own piano. If you really want a break, you could come by next Tuesday, and I could give you that lesson. If you are still interested. If not, it's fine. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	shosty 2008-12-24 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	That's very fortunate for you that you have your instrument in your own home. Since there aren't many people in my dormitory right now, Sergei is helping me move my cello into my room, so it could be a little easier. I will definitely be there on Tuesday! I cannot wait. I think I need a break from here, and I'm very much looking forward to your advice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	How funny is it that I have been here at the school for ten years and still do not know people? Who is Sergei? Good. I am glad to hear it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sergei is a friend of mine. He plays in a rock band and he is sort of undecided here, but he focuses mainly on the guitar. He is also from St. Petersburg! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	How funny. We should start a club. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
