I have a friend whose mom (a musician) steered him away from saxophone and towards less popular instruments. He ended up playing the bassoon. Because there was a much smaller pool to choose from, he got to play in the statewide youth orchestra for several years and lots of other cool things.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Calm~ma for your Lasix today, Suzi.

Thrive to spite them
I tooknow clarinet in middle school. I wanted to be assigned sax but I don't think any girls were. Or percussion but I know there were no girls on percussion.
I liked playing the clarinet.

The clarinet would be lighter to schlep around than the sax.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thanks, y'all.
So far I have called Costco to refill my contacts, paid a credit card bill, sent three emails I needed to, and cleaned the trashcan with bleach (we have a fly problem). Next is eating lunch, then maybe some errands. Also have laundry to do and more pictures to hang, and I REALLY need to go to a yoga class.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
{{{smonster}}} I wish I had more than hugs right now, but you can have all of them. I don't run out.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
~ma and hugs all around, seems like we could all use them.
EpicT., I just bought that lip crayon, so thanks for posting that! It's a frivolous little thing but it makes me feel a little bit better.

My new-agey lesbian co-worker just gave me a piece of Reiki blessed malachite. LOL and oh so sweet and appreciated. I don't know how we're all going to make it through this. The rage, devastation, and depression have such a hold.
