man i love these bears. they're so cute. :) i've always wanted to just see one walk by in real life. how cool would that be?! haha. i always amuse myself on the subway but imagining a cute little 3ft carebear walk by. haha. oh goodness. what would you do?! well, first i'd hug it. then i'd rub it's tummy. then i'd put it into my backpack and bring it home with me. :) yay CareBears!

anyway. back to reality.

i went to see the concerto competition today. :) Amy, if you're reading this, you played really really well! *despite what you say* don't be too hard on yourself. it's always a little different on stage because nerves become a factor. i thought that you handled everything very well. :) you deserve a pat on the back! hehehe...there's so much talent in the music program. for some of them i was just totally shocked. these little girls would go up and play these monstrous pieces! my goodness. hahaha. anyway, so i was inspired so i come back to rez and started downloading all this classical stuff. (okay, not really that much. but whatever). and yah. some classical stuff is actually really good! :) not all. but some. if u wanna download some stuff, i totally recommend, pretty much anything by Rachmaninoff (my favourite. so cool. such nice chords. what a cool guy. too bad he and his hands were so big, and i'm a little asian girl with little hands - so i can't really play much of his pieces...) and Copland (ohmigosh. he's awesome. *sigh* his stuff is great. unlike many of his fellow twentieth century composers, he uses dissonance that i appreciate. it's not all ugly sounding. i like it! great composer.) Chopin is good too...although i prefer his minor stuff rather than his major stuff. and Ravel he's good too...with cool harmonies and chords. :)

i'm no classical music expert. not at all. but i wanna get more exposed to this musical genre. i figure it will help my piano playing too. :) hahaha. like i said on my aa page (yes. i know. *hangs head in shame* i still update it from time to time. :P), i wanna play like david helfgott. it's not gonna happen. but at least i can dream.... :)
