I was watching a bunch of Youtube videos the other yesterday. This girl who plays the guitar, piano, sings, does covers and writes her own songs. She manages to figure out chords on her own just by listening to the song. And she can do the piano version of a Linkin Park song. So cool... She's got a good voice... And I'm so jealous...
Darn it! She makes the song cool...
I don't know what's more frustrating. The fact that she's talented or that she's got the guts to record herself performing. And she's pretty. Did I mention that she's pretty? Yeah. She's pretty. Irish-Japanese. So mixed. So exotic. So pretty. Man! I'm jealous. Haha!
She can do exactly what I hope to be able to do in the near future, minus the song writing part. I think I can't write songs for nuts, even though I've got tons of ideas. AaRrrGgghhh!
Once again, why am I not a music genius? Or have more guts? Or more confidence? Or all of the above?
Anyway, despite all my jealousy, do check her out on Youtube and Myspace. She's so cool!

Never in a million years would I even dream about saying this. But ohh heck, it's already on my mind anyway.
I am NOT inspired to practice piano
I'm banishing myself for life

I've had tough and annoying songs to play. But I've always been able to get over it and play it because I have to. And of course, because I know that it helps me improve. With the annoying songs, they are sometimes rather addictive and it gets stuck in your head. So, forcing myself to practice them becomes easier.
This time round, I'm put under exam stress and forced to sight read. Play 2 lines of music on the spot. If I'm lucky enough, I get 30 secs. I dread that. I don't see how it helps. Maybe it's to make me less hesitant and cautious. I know I'm just going to take my time to read note by note, coordinate both hands and count at the same time. So if I'm going to end up taking my time with it, how will that help me become less hesitant?
Basically, the stuff that I have to practice pisses me off. The songs, the sight reading stuff, the scales, everything. I don't know what I can practice so that I won't piss myself off...
So uninspired... So sad that I'm uninspired...

I wonder what it feels like to be able to play piano and guitar effortlessly...
Why? Ohh why? Am I not some music genius? Or a rock star?
*sigh* Me and my silly fantasies

Wow! My last post was a month ago.
Anyways, things have been quiet and somewhat calm. Even though I do occasionally get pissed off by people, internally, I feel calm and at peace (I hate this phrase but I can't think of something else, so I'll just have to make do). No internal war, no emotional instability, no self-hate. Or at least I've been able to deal with them quite well, which I am extremely happy and thankful for.
Maybe because exams ended, like 2 weeks ago. So I've got not much on my mind to bother me. I'm proud to say that I've been slacking and I don't think I'm going to get a job. Unless I get really bored or I am in need of money. Maybe I should get a job and save up for a trip sometime next year. Hmmm... Anyway,I'm just going with the flow right now. And the flow is music and Sims... Ohh Sims... Thank you creator of Sims!
My hair is now completely blonde. All I'm left with are streaks of blonde. It's gross. I should go get it back to purple, right?
