"Has it changed you?"

Currently: spinning Hello Hurricane on shuffle and repeat. ^_^

So, while I've essentially given up on formspring, someone id ask me a question I really liked.

How has playing the cello changed you? Not just your life, but you as a person?

It has. When I was four I wanted to be singer but that changed when I was 11 and started playing. I love being a musician more. I love that an instrument can be my voice.

And for anybody who asked (or cared. (even if you didn't)) the paper I wrote the I wrote about in my last post- It was for my health class.
It was a lifestyle change paper and I was supposed to start playing my cello regularly again. While that didn't exactly happen, I still got to write a lot about music and cellos in my paper.
Twas fun.

Naturally Crazy.

Currently: trying to not be so bored.

The formspring thing entertains me. But for todays post, I got asked this the other day:

Is your hair naturally curly?

Very. Its naturally crazy.


I thought it was funny. Well anyways, it was like that day that I had dont nothing to my h**r. I normally wash, comb, brush and gel it back a little before putting it up. But that I washed it, put it in a clip and let it frizz to its naturalness for the next 24 hours or so.

So I took pictures.

I wish I had taken pictures again later cause I had been standing in the rain and my h**r looked even crazier but chyea. anyways.

And if you dont know why Im treating h**r like a curse word...its a Switchfoot thing.

Fromspringyspringspring

Currently: downloading a LOT of music. And not even half of it is stuff my friends recommended. Im still writing all that down for later.

Okay. I know I promised pictures of rain, but im making it goal to get school stuff done before I do that so, here's the thing.
I have this formspring thing.

And people ask em questions. So for todays post. Im just copying and pasting a few questions ive been asked and what I answered. I know. But Im busy and kind of need to focus on other things. But im still posting every day! (Except for those two...heheh)

Who inspires you the most?

Way too many people. But Jon Foreman, Stephen Christian (sp?) are a couple. My boardies friends, and kids. Kids ALWAYS inspire me.

Why is your name Amy?

Because (I kid you not) My mom was told my God her first child would be a girl named Amy. (or something along those lines)

Does your cello have a name?

It does not. Ive had it two yrs and have not named it. Although I will refer to it as my "wooden baby".

What's your favorite thing about playing the cello?

Oh sheesh. Lots of things but for me personally-its kind of connection. When I play I just flow into it and tend to put everything into playing. Playing just takes me somewhere nothing else does.

Is there any other place in the world you'd like to live in?

Definitely! Problem is, I want to see and live everywhere.

What was your favorite toy as a child?

Books! I was totally all about listening to my cassete tapes and reading books. My playdoh dried out and what barbies I had lost many-a shoes.

what was your favorite childhood book?

After seriously thinking, cause I read a lot and forget some, Narnia books. They stuck with me the most from my dad reading them to me to me reading them and wondering "colour" was. Haha.

Favorite thing to eat for breakfast?

Hashbrowns, eggs over medium and country fried steak. YUM!

I miss it. So im going to change it.

Okay, I do love the whole trying to get people to post more and post every day but...its weird for me now. The first week was great. I love sharing random vids and such BUT
I dont necessarily feel like posting.
Its getting to be a bit of obligation almost.
I dunno.

OH. Anyways.
I got one of these formspring things. (http://www.formspring.me/Celloist) where you can ask people random questions

Maybe its cause I post it mainly on my twitter, but I got a few cello questions and it makes me realize how much I really miss playing.

So Ive decided. The minute I have a job, Im buying sheet music. Im looking for good cello solo stuff, buying it and practicing and then I dunno.
Youtube a couple songs for my boardie friends maybe.
Maybe work out something with a couple close friends who also play instruments.

The sheet music Ive wanted forever?? John Tavener: Chant For Cello
I swear everytime I check it, the price goes down (Just taunting me...)


And then there's this piece.
Julie-O.

My boardies friends showed it to me one week and I have no idea how I'll find the music but someday I will.
Someday.
