Oh, Vicious, how I've missed you!
I'm so glad I'm in Instrumental Ensemble this semester, because it forces me to make time to practice. And really, it's been too long. ;_; I really, really enjoy practicing... makes me wonder WTF is wrong with me when I'm so reluctant about it so much of the time. ._.
Vicious and I had a nice hour together tonight (and we might spend some more time together after this post). Really, an hour isn't all that much, but it was a bit strenuous... I need to fix my pinky finger (it's really quite weak, and it doesn't sit on the string as nicely as it needs to), and the only way to do that is to practice -- hard -- through my bad habits... which can get physically painful (especially in the higher positions on the E string... it's a frickin' wire, I tell you!). But it's worth it, because it's kind of pathetic that I've had the same pinky problem for 13½ years. ~_~
I want to head into college in really good musical shape, so I've got some work ahead of me...
Violin Goals for 2006.05.31 (graduation and Claire's birthday!)
finish (memorize and polish) Mendelssohn
get Zigeurneweisen in playable condition (dunno if it's physically possible...)
fix my pinky problem
pay more attention to my bow arm in general
So this'll be a fun second semester. My fingers might fall off when I'm finished, but I'll be a better person for it. Or something.

P.S. Ohtori plays the violin (and the piano). But I think his music is still less important than tennis, unlike what a lot of fanfiction seems to suggest... I mean, they're just his hobbies (sort of like Shishido's billiards... and dude, if it isn't a frickin' sign that Kamakari's hobby is billiards as well, I don't know what is), and even though music's his best subject, it's still second tohis Shishido-san tennis.
P.P.S. I couldn't help writing the post-script. I'm sorry. And I was trying so hard not to write anything about Kamakari today. ><
