The greeting card themes are starting to look familiar! Don't intend to stop using them though, I think it makes my blog unique. I'm insanely happy because of what someone told me today. Alert! Cryptic sentence ahead! Some of my classmates are incredibly helpful in the most unexpected ways. George Washington once said, "Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence." I swear by that statement. Seriously, it isn't hard to be nice to everyone if you want to. What's hard is finding the people who "click" with you, the ones who'll listen to anything you have to say, and smile because you're the one saying it no matter how stupid it sounds. I'm still waiting for you to wake up and realise I'm here. I might forget you eventually, then again maybe I won't, and that's a chance I'm willing to take. Anyway, I was paid a compliment today by Chernise, in my opinion. She thinks I have a sardonic streak. It essentially means my humour is scornfully and cynically mocking. There is an ironic edge to it, which I relish. I'm rather mild by nature, so all my darker tendencies find expression in my brand of humour. Granted, it can be cruel, but life itself is cruel. What do you think of that?

Finally stepped into a RECAS meeting after a protracted absence. Can't be helped with the guitar concert coming up. I promise I'll go regularly after the concert! Today's guitar practice was so strange. I'll be glad when the concert's over though, along with my interview. Why is it that every time I make it through something, another matter pops up almost immediately? Can't unwind properly before having to tense up again. Anyway, we played Dance Of The Yao so terribly, yet Ms Pereira actually said it was good. I've formulated a theory that if we were to plot her standard of music along a graph, it would be a negative absolute graph. So she has a peak standard, and anything beyond that is actually considered not good! I like the main ensemble's first piece, Overture. Amazing. Okay, be back later with a poem, hopefully. Do you think I should follow Claudia's suggestion and move all my poetry to another separate blog?
