Massive creative inspiration

Holy crap! Two Posts in one day for the first time in I don’t know how many months (3?).

I’m not sure what caused it or what prompted it or maybe it’s the change in seasons (for the better, in my opinion) (by the way, I still haven’t opened the CD yet. even though i told myself i would)(sorry, capitalization is going out the window, i’m so kind of excited and hyped and pumped and inspired…) or the massive impending change in LIFE …

BUT

I have this motivation to be creative and musical and a force of creating again. and it kinda makes me happy. since i’m usually in the analytical portion of my brain. not that analytics is bad, but i tend to function better with a happy medium between the two. you know, a happy balance. the thing most people strive for just to stay sane. but it’s a sort of manic creativity that i really hope does not go away this time.

so i’d been contemplating for the last day and a half how logistically logical it would be to move the upright piano that i’ve had since i was 4 years old (so coming up on 23 years) that’s been basically used as an extra shelf for the last… 15 years (i quit playing when i was 12 because i didn’t like that my teacher couldn’t teach me anything new, and insisted on me playing the same sonatina for THREE YEARS — torture). um. so if it would be possible to move my upright piano into my new place (yes, i’m definitively getting a new place, but more on that in some other future post).

i don’t know where i’d have room for it. definitely not in the living room. so i’d have a piano in my bedroom…? if it fits, it fits. i know i don’t plan on having a chest of drawers in there. maybe. but if i could put the piano in there, i would. computer in the living room, piano and guitar in the bedroom. i quit guitar lessons after 3 weeks. partly because i toddled off to astoria for nearly a month… but if i can already read music, then what’s the point of paying someone to teach me how to translate the notes on the page to the fingering on the frets? ah, correct finger position… that’s one. but maybe i should point that out to whoever teaches me further. but piano…

i love my piano, i do. so after 15 years of not playing, i kinda want to play again. my darling upright out of tune (has to be… i don’t think it’s been tuned for 13 years — how much does piano tuning cost, anyway?) piano.
