| Dammit, LJ seems to be down or something, and I want to write stuff.
So my orchestra audition was this afternoon. I was kind of conflicted about when to get up because I wanted to eat before the audition, but brunch starts at 11:00, and my audition was supposed to be at 12:10. If I got up to eat brunch and then went to the audition, I wouldn't have enoug time to warm up, so I thought I'd get up early (like 9:00-ish), practice, then come back for brunch, and then go back for the audition. That's what I decided to do, but then I ended up just staying there and practicing the whole time because I was too lazy to leave.
Having only gotten five and half or so hours of sleep last night, I felt really out of it (ugh ugh ugh). So I was standing there practicing, unable to really get into the music, and then I said to myself, "Madeleine, you are the Bartok MADWOMAN!" and things started to go a little better. :-p
As for the audition itself, it wasn't so bad. I usually have really terrible performance/audition nerves, and the most exciting thing about this audition was that they really didn't kick in until I started playing, and then they died down pretty quick (still there in the background, of course). I know things were rough in spots, but I think there were good spots as well, so maybe it will even out. I sounded pretty crappy on the orchestral excerpts, ewww. All in all, I pleased with how "ok" it went, considering how little I've practiced in the last week, month, three months... (whoops  ) | | |
| So I haven't posted here in ages, mostly because
I've been posting elsewhere. I kind of want to make this my new
space
to complain about all things Princeton, but now I'm worried that I
accidentally gave someone from Princeton my xanga, so I don't know that
I will. I guess it would be just as easy to make things
restricted
where I currently do some amount of posting, but I'm weird and
superstitious about stuff like that, like somehow the person who I'm
taking off the list of people who I want to be able to read my post
will actually be able to read it anyway by some kind of fluke.
I'm nuts. So hi everyone again! | | |
| My inner conscience and me at the grocery store:
Madeleine, put those cookies back.
What cookies?
You know, the ones you pulled of the shelf just now, the mint cream oreos.
Well, um, I'll put them back in just a sec... we've already moved beyond the cookie section, I'll swing past it before we get to the check-out.
No, I want you to put those cookies back this instant. You don't need them, they aren't good for you.
But I want the cookies!
But you must not have the cookies.
*cries*
(the cookies are reluctantly returned to the shelf)
That said, how the fuck do guys ride bikes? I'm going to be sore for like a week... | | |

At least now I have a date and a time.
*cries* | | |
| DAMN. The going to sleep when the sun is rising needs to STOP.
Anyway, I haven't really been posting too much recently... Before there wasn't much going on that was worth writing, but I guess now there is, although I'm sure it will be boring for most of you.
I just got back from a stay in Champaign, where I had a kick-ass time. I saw a very creepy Japanese movie called Getting Any, and it was rather like some Japanese people watched Monty Python and said to themselves, "We can top that! Just watch us!" ("Car sex, Miss?" heheh) I also saw another Japanese movie (anime) called Tokyo Godfathers about these three homeless people who find an abandoned (is that spelled right? it looks weird) baby. Bizarre, but amusing.
As for other things, I've decided DDR is the new social skill to acquire, despite what someone tells me to the contrary.
I also got sick and threw up. So much throwing up recently!
(told you it would be boring to read)
And oh! Hank's LJ - www.livejournal.com/~nowalmart
