'Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes'

 It is finished!!!
That gamelan essay I was working on when I last posted, that is. 1500 words in one day, then referencing took me an entire evening. But I can put it away now, and start on the next assignment.

Before I go get organised for uni and then SLEEP (yes, small things, small minds, I know) I thought I'd do a small update. My violin is going fairly well, even though I've only been able to do small amounts of practice. I went to a concert on Saturday night with pebblegosling, because my teacher from last year is in this string quartet. What I didn't realise was that the other jazz band that was playing featured none other than my current teacher. Small music world is small. I saw her from behind first, and just went 'hey... wait....' XD
It was really good to see my old teacher again, she's so bubbly and chatty and amazing, her enthusiasm for what she does is completely infectious. I want to go back and have a few lessons with her over the holidays, it's often helpful to get different opinions - and she'd keep me motivated to practice over the long break.

I can't believe I have 3 weeks of class left for the year, and 5 weeks or so in total until I'm finished. It's going to be pretty crazy for a while, here's hoping I don't go into panic mode. I nearly did in Aural today, but meh. I'll get by. I just hate that that mark counts towards my violin performance subject.

And now, a meme taken from [livejournal.com profile] bugbeary 
Comment and I shall...

① Tell you why I friended you.

② Associate you with something -- a fandom, song, color, photo, etc.

③ Tell you something I like about you.

④ Tell you a memory I have of you.

2. Starbucks. Tehehe.

3. The fact that I can always relate to your posts - silly or serious. =D

4. You obsession with accents ;) And our discussions on the different meanings of slang words...

5. I shall pull a trick from a talk show host from here, who would you turn gay for? ;)

6. I love the How to train your dragon one. Even though I am yet to see that movie - it's so cutee!


=D
<3 Dory.

[identity profile] bugbeary.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] bugbeary.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That movie is just full of cute people lol - OMG and I realized last time I watched it that my favorite guy from Criminal Minds is also in that movie!! 8D

^^

[identity profile] rdm-ation.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Very true.

LOL Yep he's awesome.

[identity profile] nightfall404.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd comment if I thought there was any chance of you having association or memories of me XD

I think I did pretty well, considering...

[identity profile] rdm-ation.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
*laughs*

I'll try ;)

1. Friends I want

2. All I really know about you is that you love rock-climbing XD
And take beautiful photos <3
I adore that one in the post you linked me to earlier, btw.
(bookworm =D)
I guess that covers No. 3 XD

What did you study at university/college? Does it relate to what you're doing now?

And yeah, no comment on userpics :P

Re: I think I did pretty well, considering...

[identity profile] nightfall404.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I would have thought the usericon was the easiest one, really. You're just picking from a list. In my case, it's a pretty short list.

Also I want to see your gamelan essay.

My degree is in Internet systems development, so yes, after slumming in general admin roles for a couple of years, I was promoted to a position that used my academic background.

Re: I think I did pretty well, considering...

[identity profile] rdm-ation.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahah! I was going from memory :P

Oh really? Sure thing. Message me your email or something and I'll send it through.

=D
That's great. I'm always curious about that sort of thing, especially seeing as I'm in a double degree where neither leads directly to a particular job.

Re: I think I did pretty well, considering...

[identity profile] nightfall404.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Well yeah. I mean, I did my degree because it was something I was interested in, not because there was a job at the end of it.

Re: I think I did pretty well, considering...

[identity profile] rdm-ation.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm forever amazed at the number people who fail to understand that.

[identity profile] rdm-ation.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
1. Because you made me get lj. I am now addicted. It's allll your fault :P

2. ARASHI. Duh.

3. That you make me laugh. A lot. Mostly with you, but often at you.

4. Our late-night d&ms.

5. We've been over this too many times. I never have proper questions XD

6. Too many to choose. I loved the Penny one you had, but if we're going by your current list it has to be Kurt XD

[identity profile] pebblegosling.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
1. MUAHAHAHAHA.

2. How strange. What is this..arr-raaa-sheeee?

3. :D

4. :D

5. TRY HARDER. :P It's not even me making you this time!!

6. HOORAH

[identity profile] rdm-ation.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
I know, I know! It's just every question that I would normally ask in things like this I already know the answer XD

What's the best gig you've been to?

[identity profile] pebblegosling.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. I don't know. XD George perhaps?

Tengo un gato en mis pantalones :)

[identity profile] rdm-ation.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhhh what?!

XD

I'm a bit behind the times...

1.The way I add most people... interrupted a conversation and decided you sounded interesting :P

2. Languages! Still in awe of your efforts =D

3. You seem to have a wicked sense of humour. XD

4. Ummm alright so I have nothing >_>

5. Do you have a 'bucket list' of sorts?

6. *points* THAT ONE

[identity profile] utopiandream.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think we've known each other long enough for the meme, but if you want to go it a go I'd be ok with that. If not I'd be ok with that too ;)

You're so close to being done, yay!!! :D

[identity profile] rdm-ation.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Always willing to try :P

1. Comment conversation on bugbeary's lj.

2. Movies. You seem to watch a fair few :P

3. We have fairly awesome comment conversations

4. Leggings discussion :P

5. *repeats a question from someone else* Who would you turn gay for? ;)

6. The Eiffel Tower one is pretty

=D
I know. It's awesome and weird at the same time, this year's gone by so fast.

[identity profile] utopiandream.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, thanks! I'm going to put different answers for yours even though I feel like I could've said some of the same things you did, heh. :D

No one, really. :D I used to think Katherine Moennig was pretty cute though:http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IgEQGFWnaUY/S7AXELc9leI/AAAAAAAAAls/RrXkmoO03f4/s1600/kate+moe.jpg

Even then it was just her character on The L Word. She was pretty masculine!

What are your plans for after you graduate?

[identity profile] rdm-ation.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
=D
Yay!

Heh. Not bad looking, nope. Mine's Washington XD That singer I keep going on about. Well, obviously that question isn't to be taken seriously but I think she's sexy as all hell :P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVd-ZsFjCS8&ob=av2e

I have many and none in particular all at the same time. I have loads of random things I'd like to do, like playing in orchestras for a big music, professional orchestra. I'll teach, and probably play at things like weddings etc until I can break into any of that :)

[identity profile] utopiandream.livejournal.com 2010-10-06 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
I can't see the video. :( I clicked and got a message saying that Vevo had blocked the content from the country because of copywright, ugh. I'll try doing a search on my own. Aaand I don't think I was successful. Some pictures of Lily Allen and Taylor Swift popped up. o_0

Good luck! I've never met someone so musical. :D

[identity profile] rdm-ation.livejournal.com 2010-10-06 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh and by the way I am only in first year... grsduating's a long way off still XD

NOOO
That's odd. I mean she is Aussie, but you'd think the official version of the clip would be ok...
http://resources2.news.com.au/images/2009/12/10/1225808/985698-megan-washington.jpg
That's a photo of her =D
But you should try to listen to her stuff if you can. OH I KNOW. Myspace.

Awww you're still a youngin then! *says the 28 year old (hah) oldie* :)

It worked! She has a really nice/soothing voice! She looks adorable, too! Very put together!

[identity profile] rdm-ation.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe!
Kind of funny actually, I did a different course next year, and most of my friends have only *just* turned 19. XD
OLDDDD!

I love her :P
