I don't know, newsy stuff I guess

So... first, about my recital. Those of you who are sitting around posting comments to the effect of "damn I wish I'd been able to go," well, no, actually, you don't. Not if you've got any sense, that is. Because I didn't like how I played, and a 13-year-old played the piece I want to play on the recital next semester, and I was reminded of how a different girl who I'm better than is upstaging me by slipping in next fall with the piece I'm playing next spring, and in general I just would've been in a bad temper and picked a fight with you. (I did end up picking a fight with my parents instead, which was at least better than picking a fight with friends, because fighting is my current ground state with my mom most of the time anyway.)

Aside from that... went to the Doctor's Orchestra performance tonight hoping to see Nadja, an old harp role model, now in medical school... unfortunately she didn't play this evening, guess there were no harp parts. This afternoon went to Star Wars again, just with Russell this time... damn that's a good movie. Also I'm attempting to give up sodas. Not caffeine, but actual sodas. I want to drink lots of water instead, it's healthier. But I hate bottled water, it tastes like plastic. Argh.

So... I guess it's been a good day. Off to consider sleeping.

Oh, and John Bonham is God.

Ah, c'mon Betsy. Quitting caffeine is easy. All ya gotta do is not drink any. I mean, if it were difficult, do you really think I could have done it so many times this year? ::glances around:: ahem... yes, well, it's undeniable that water is good for you, but you have a point about the taste. There are other alternatives. Lots of water is good, but throw in a plentiful amount of juice. Gatorade ain't too bad either. It's been awhile since I was addicted to caffeine, but man, I'm just worthless in the morning if I hadn't had my bottle of Pineapple Passion Mango...

As for the recital, I still wouldn't have minded going. I'm patient, y'know. When it comes to picking a fight with me... well, I've learned to roll with the punches*. After all, we all gotta release tension sometime.

*metaphor... I'm still useless in a fist fight...

No, I would've just ended up hitting you and then feeling bad because you did not, technically, deserve it, so it's just as well that you weren't there. And... yeah. Since I'm giving up sodas rather than caffeine, I have discovered bottled frappaccinos (however the hell you spell that, I tried to fix it and I think I just made it worse). Those are good.

But, argh. Maybe I can just give up American sodas, because I don't think I can live without my limon.
