To Do Over Break
Over Christmas break I will:

-Play a scale pattern a day.
-Spend one hour on fundamentals, one hour on etudes, one hour on Mozart, and one hour on excerpts
-Fix my lip trills
-Convince my parents that their Christmas party is just a bourgeois exercise in snobbery.
-Avoid going to church.
-~~see if Eliza is available~~ See best friend from high school.
-Come back to school as soon as possible.

	quite the rebel, aren't you? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Hardly. I just don't support their shameless wasting of resources on the meaningless pursuits of getting drunk with their upper class friends and circle-jerking about who makes more money and has the best trophy wives. I'm hoping to have managed to be back here by then so I can practice instead of being forced to make conversation with the morally bankrupt rich. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Holy jeezum crow, ask and you shall receive, huh? Just because you don't have any friends that you want to get smashed with by way of expensive alcohol doesn't mean your parents are bourgeoisie pigs, yaknow? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	You forgot: -realize the phrase 'bourgeois exercise in snobbery' is itself a bourgeois exercise in snobbery -spend the remaining holidays trying to understand the paradox -suffer excellent mental breakdown and be consigned to a psychiatric hospital -never bother the world with pointless lists again (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I'm sorry, Wolfe, but I missed the part where you had any relevance to this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Also on your list: -declare my undying homosexual love for Wolfe (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	On your list, Leonard: -cry emo girly tears because Wolfe doesn't return my love either (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ludwig 2008-12-16 06:14 am UTC (link)
	Emo girly tears? Really? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You might even put on some Hawthorne Heights and whack off to the sounds of that great composing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hawthorne Heights? ~~Oh no he didn't.~~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I know your secret shame, Leonard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hawthorne Heights is NOT my secret shame, dear sweet Lord. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well you certainly couldn't admit to it if it was, could you? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I would never in a million years like Hawthorne Heights. ...you, however. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You only play one scale pattern per day? Well, that certainly explains a lot. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	volsunga_cor 2008-12-15 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Obviously I play my other scales. I just focus completely on one of them per day. I do the scalar pattern completely in the four octave range, starting on every scale degree, using different articulations, as well as playing arpeggios, different intervals up to 2 octaves, hand stopping technique, and so on. I'd like to see you try it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	My horn? You aren't touching this thing; it was twenty grand. There are horns for the methods classes. Use one of them if you really must. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fine, then, I will. Do you need to watch so I can prove it to you? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
