Oh, Hello!

Hiya! So... yeah. I guess I don't wanna stop blogging. lol. I have a lot to catch up on, and I'm going to be slow starting back up, but I think I'd rather get back to it than just going away entirely. Plus, I miss Treskie, Soph, Jack, and Lacey. 

^_^ 

Here's my first post as of coming back. :) 

Shall we catch up a little? 

Currently: 

Obsessed with - The Imagine Dragons song at the end of this post.

                - Hamburgers

                    -Danisnotonfire

Excited for - New baby nephew and nephew or niece on the way.

             - Being back to taking private violin lessons again

                                              - Autumn! Sweaters, Salted Caramel Mochas, boots, leggings, scarves, and coats. <3 *yes*

                                             - Thor 2, Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Doctor Who 50th anniversary special.

New with me - Having my license and driving myself everywhere.

                                             - Not currently having a crush... Yep. That's new for me. It's rather bizarre and strange feeling. O.o  :)

                                                - Thinking about college. Yeah. :P Blech. Don't want to go at all, but I'm dying to be in an orchestra again and college seems tobe the only way to do that. Plus, it can't be that bad, right? *unsure smile*

*BECAUSE IT'S TOM*

So yeh. Some lifey-ish stuff there. How are you all?? Gosh I've missed you. :) 

Excited to be back!

And I have Doctor Who stuff to show off.

Please excuse the cheesy awful selfie in the messy room. I took it in a hurry the other day and was too lazy to get a decent one. ;) :D

 

My newest piece of Doctor Who fandom!! Bought it at Hot Topic last weekend!! *eek*! SO proud of it. yes. 

 

Here is the fingernail polish job I did this morning!! I'm obsessed with anything British and my friend found a great tutorial on how to do these fingernails and I *had* to try it. :D Whatcha think? And, of course, how else to model these fingernails than with a Sonic Screwdriver and amazing DW t-shirt?? :) 

how I feel every time I use my srewdriver. ;)

 

Let's all just take a while to recollect ourselves after seeing that hair.............

Ten is still wearing Nine's coat. ^_^

You read it in his voice, didn't you. ;) 

Annnnnd one for the Eleve people. lol. Sorry. As you can tell I'm slightly partial to Ten.... <3 

I do love this moment between Eleven and River. :D So cute and so true to themselves. 

<3 <3 ^_^ <3 <3 

Yes. There was some random Doctor Who spamming. 

You're welcome. 

I haven't gone and spammed Doctor Who in way too long. 

:D 

Have a fabulous week!!

P.S. Thanks for all your dolly comments in the last post. ^_^ I haven't decided yet if I'll stay or no... It's all undecided right now. :) 

P.P.S. This: 

Also, his cover of Adele's "Turning Tables" with "Someone Like You" is one of my favorites. :)

Lyrics Thursday

Tryin' on a brand new dress

but you haven't worn the old one yet

You've come too far

To turn around now

You've given up the good fight

You're as strong as anyone

You're back where you started from

I see your back where you started from

Starin' down the stars

Jealous of the moon

You wish you could fly

just bein' where you are

There nothin' you can do

If you're to scared to try

Drag your pretty head around 

Swearin' you are gonna drown

With a beautiful sigh 

And a river of lies

Starin' down the stars

Jealous of the moon

You wish you could fly

just bein' where you are 

There's nothin' you can do

If you're too scared to try

Why don't you call me, I could save you

Together we'll find a God we can pray to

That'll take you by the hand

I hate to see a friend of mine 

Laughin' out loud

When she's cryin' inside

But you've got your pride

You're starin' down the stars

Stay where you are

You're jealous of the moon

But there's nothing you can do

If you're too scared to try

~~~~~~

^_^ I love that song.

anyways,
Today is my bloggy's birthday! Yep! Two years, people! That's right. I'm so glad I decided to start blogging. I love it so much! I also love all the great blogs it's led me to and all the fantastic people I've "met" in bloggerworld.
Thank every single one of you 42 followers!

Tonight is my teacher's Studio Recital that I'm playing at. Yes, I am nervous. lol. but that's ok. I'm pretty sure I'll do fine.

Be happy, people! Because Tomorrow is Friday. :D

Music and stuff.

So, I have a recital in 8 days and a different performance in 10. 

Truthfully I'm scared to death! I'm usually *much* more prepared than I am this time. I have a lot of work left to do on my pieces but I'm pretty sure I can get 'em nailed down and completely memorized. 

*deep breath*

I can do it. Just watch me. 

I've been practicing loads the past few days. It goes kinda like this:

1) Play until I buggar up a spot.

2) Play the spot over and over and over and over. 

3) go back and play back a ways and get past the spot. 

4) repeat. 

and if I get to play through one of my songs without stopping (Buggaring up a spot) I get to do a happydance. Those are few and far between. but they do happen every once in a while. ;) 

Anyways. Enough of that. You guys wanna hear what I'm playing in these performances?

Here goes:

Concerto in G (K. 216): Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

I'm not playing the whole thing with all the movements. :) I'm only playing to 7:18. The rest of it's pretty good too, though, so listen away, if you like! Maybe someday I'll do more of it. 

Polish Dance (Edmund Severn)

(It was really tough to find a good recording of this one, here's the best I could find!)

This song is loads of fun! I like it much better than I thought I would...It has quick fun parts and slow pretty stuff and a lot of double stops. I was really nervous about doing a song with double stops at first because they've never been my strong point. I'm so glad to do this one though! I've really improved in that area. 

I have another that I'm doing but I can't find it anywhere on youtube. Sorry. It's my least favorite of the three though, so I'm not too worried about it. :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~

There y'are! I don't think I'm playing all three at the recital, but we'll see. I do have to play all three on the 9th though. And I'm being judged on them...I hate playing for judges. 

On a slightly different note, The performance last night went pretty well! lol. One of our groups kind of flopped a piece. It stank. but we survived, and hopefully it won't be remembered. ;) 

The Lord of the Rings piece went SO well! It was amazing. it gave me shivers and goosebumps and felt beyond epic to be playing. It was my favorite part, for sure. 

The rest went great. it was a blast overall. During intermission I got to see a few people I don't usually see, which was the best. :) And, I didn't stumble once in my heeled shoes. This is a new thing for Ms. Klutzy (me). :D I don't ever fall, but stumbling is a very regular occurrence. :D 

On the way home we got hamburgers. I love hamburgers. 

Pictures. Because this post lacks them.

Anyway. There's some of the stuff I'm working on musically these days! 

I hope I haven't bored you all beyond belief! <3

Ta-ta for now
