I got invited to play with an orchestra in Turkey...
It was very, very cool. Also very tentative. But Turkey, swag it out.
I will also be leaving for Carnegie Hall tomorrow, New York, New York. Not a lot of freedom, however, and I am one of those people that don’t have a phone, and I probably will not have access to internet. So this tumblr may look very lonely for a few days. Bear with me.
However, R may be making an appearance or two....

Dear Anon.
This is for the anon that asked me for advice about boy stuff. Honestly, I’m probably not the one you most likely should be getting advice from. However, I’m going to go ahead and say that boys in general who need to be chased and pinned down and pursued and cried over in an awful way generally aren’t worth your time. Of course, it is worth investing the time to have him take...

isn’t it strange how attractive people are really just a nice-looking arrangement of atoms
like
damn you have a great deoxyribonucleic acid arrangement
Aha. Damn girl, if my introns were different, I’d look like you.

I just want to curl up in a ball. And cut my...
Because all of it is really just freaking me the fuck out. And I think I can handle it. But you never really know. And I guess I sort of felt it coming, and it felt like “Oh, man. I’m getting really lazy”. But know it feels like all this laziness just accumulated and now it’s butt fucking my emotional stability because I’m just so worried.
And I just want to sleep...

A "Shit Percussionists Say" video would be epic.
Well. Maybe only to percussionists. But still. Lmfao at the aspect.

A Valentine's Day Card given to my sister.
“What kind of flowers can’t you give on Valentine’s Day?”
CAULIFLOWERS!!!
[On the back] To: S, Love: Charlie. P.S. Come over for a play date soon! XOXO
Seriously, you have someone who asks you out on a date? A play date, but really? His name is Charlie? He uses X’s and O’s. Fishy, but fine for his age. But really? AND I have to hear this joke over and over...

Me: Um. Dad. Why is there a whole chicken in the sink?
Dad: You mom said she had a headache. I just went out and got a chicken for some soup. It'll be good.
Me: Could you not just use...like...I don't know, what you usually use for soup?
Dad: No. Fresh chicken. Whole chicken. Soup. She has a headache.
Me: Okay.
Me: :3
Anonymous asked: Mmmm. Sherlock. Benedict Cumberbatch. Me gusta. I'd like him to strum my strings any day. If I, y'know, had strings to strum. :D
This is the best OVARIES .gif I've ever seen.
Anonymous asked: If a xylophone and a marimba are both wood, what's the metal one called? :<
Anonymous asked: I think percussion's a lot more difficult than stringed instruments, in some ways. Sure, you have to juggle bowing and fingering and balance the damn thing but, like, with drums and various other percussion things, if you mess up, everyone hears it. Clash cymbals a beat early and everyone looks at you oddly. With the violin, you can just apply vibrato and make it sound like an extended note....
Anonymous asked: OhsweetLordhavemercy. You know Paganini? His Caprice No. 24 in A minor? I played that piece. Rocked it like a monsoon. Oh my word, we share so many cultured things in common. (Another culture joke!) Speaking of percussion, you do piano? That's technically a percussion instrument. Internal mallets and whatnot. You bang on it all day and, well, it makes nice sounds. If you know what I mean....
Anonymous asked: the pg-13 answer i doubt you've had sex before so.
Anonymous asked: Orchadork all the way. Born and bred to absolutely adore the violin and I love it. I could wax on about string resonance and timbre and harmonics but I jsy love my instrument. It's, oh lawd, like a girlfriend. You play any instruments? I'd assume your knowledge of Profokiev and Mahler tends toward more of a string-based background? Personally I find a person who can rattle off composers...

Something about girls who want to own nuclear...
But then you think about it and you wonder if she just says she wants to own nuclear reactors because she actually wants the highly efficient clean burning energy, or if she just says it to sound sexy.
But then if you’re not someone who finds that sexy, then I guess…whatever.
I don’t really need to worry about it though. But still, it’d be nice to know.

On parents.
Have you ever looked through various tags on tumblr, just for the heck of it? I stumbled upon “hate parents” tonight. It contained some of the most atrocious things I’ve ever read. It is very difficult to generalize, simply because one has to keep in mind that honestly, there are shit people out there who treat their children without any love to speak of, but all of those...
