Wow, the f-list really isn't joking about those earthquakes, is it?

*stands in the doorway*

In other news, I will be incommunicado except by txt from tomorrow until Monday. :) I'm going to Suzuki camp* and so will be in Masterton. Oh, you can text me, if you have my nuber (it's in some f-locked post, Lucy, if you still haven't got it.)

So yay.

Also, conversation I have to write down before I forget it:

T: (something something something) IT WAS FABULOUS.
Nic: *dies* Fabulous? If you were a guy you would so be gay.
Lucy: *IS TOTALLY UNABLE TO MOVE*
T: Um, yes. That is definitely true. *resits the obvious*

It made me LAUGH. *amused*

*it's like geek camp. But with violins.

ETA: Also. Want to know the meaning of life? Copperbadge tells us how. Too cool not to be linked. ;)

*splutters* Well, no, it's not your fault... 'cuase' they're not.

See, the reason for viola jokes is this: violins know, deep down, that violas are FAR superior to them. So they're insecure. So tyhey make jokes about violas to try to feel better.

So really, viola jokes are compliments. Each musician moks they think they love. or something.

Psh. Whatever. Keep dreaming. If you will notice, major pieces are most often written for . . . what's that I hear? Violins? Yep. You know, there're reasons why we get all the good music . . . better range, lovelier sound . . . our all-encompassing superiority.

I'm terribly sorry to break the truth to you dear.

talk to the hand.

the greater ,ajority of pieces are written for the violin because the violin is simple and easy to understand. Only truly great composers relaly understand the viola- like Douglas Lilburn and the drysdale overture. BEAUTIFUL viola solos. *awe*

. . . which no one has ever heard of, because no one cares.

the greater majority of pieces are written for the violin because the violin is simple and easy to understand.

You mean that because more people like us and like listening to us that we are so often lauded?

By golly, I do believe you're right.

Which EVERY NZ orchestral musician has heard of, because Lilburn was a GENIUS. And a new zealander. (And actually I think he has some renown outside NZ too, he trained in NY.)

Um. NO. Do you enjoy Spot books? I mean, as much as you enjoy Pratchett, say? See spot run. Run, Spot, run. Yes, it's easy to understand. That doesn't make it good, or ever pleasant. ;)

THIS IS SO FUN. xDD

New Zealand.

. . .

Well, I mean, I don't even need to say anything now. You've basically proved my point for me.


Not a good analogy, I'm afraid. Try again.

OH, YOU ARE SO GOING TO DIE WHEN sixth_light GETS HER HANDS ON YOU.

*SICS F-LIST* (only not, because I would never do that to you.... but still...)

BRING IT ON.

DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU.

O SNAP.

I'm with you. Violas are much sexier than violins - deeper and gruntier. When I grow up I'm going to write a duet for viola and baritone sax, two of the bestest instruments in the world.

Hey, where ya been? Camp was over days ago. ;-)

Are you still looking for a laptop? Email me if you are - I have a lead...

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

*snort* Actually, I don't find insturments themselves sexy. That's freaky.

On the other hand, there's nothing more attractive than a really skilled musician.

:P I've been stuck sans computer- Dad took it off us, and then before that it was broken. I'm probably not looking for a laptop any more, because Dad's been throwing tantrums- thanks for the thought, though... :)

[nzlemming.livejournal.com]

Freaky? Moi?!? Hah! (You don't know the half of it. Just how many of those items on the kissing list do you really want to tick off???)

And it's the "sound" that's sexy, anyway. A truly skilled musician would understand that. :-p

(Unless your a cello fanatic and then it's- no, no, that's right, you're a minor, we dont go there)

Shame about the PC thing - I dare not think what you were using it for...

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

GROSS.

Excuse me, "your," you're, "dont", don't. Unless you meant to use the French dont there. *pedantic*

*eyeroll* the PC wasn't broken, the connection was broken. Dad was trying to do something complicated to it and fucked it up.
