ANIMANIA! ANIMANIA! ANIMANIA!
that’s all i can say really :P
sydney’s only anime convention. what a blast! halcyon (the band for which i am violinist) performed ‘duvet’ by boa.. the opening to `Serial Experiments Lain`. and we sounded damn good. if i may say so myself. i guess cos we only practised for a day, and it seemed like such a hash-job, i was worried it’d fall apart. but it excceded my expectations, and i think i’ve got the bug. the bug to keep performing and do live gigs. hehe.. which is a good thing, considering i’ll be dropping violin at the end of the year. hardest decision i’ve had to make in a long time… been learning for 15 years, but i just don’t have the drive anymore. i practise, but i’m not getting anywhere, so why waste more time hey? i know i can pick it up again later on, but i seriously doubt i will. at least band will give me a chance to play, practise, keep up the basic skills.
on another note, my mum found two pieces of jewellery from my grandmother. s’posedly they were given to me when i was little, but my mum didn’t want me to wear them cos she thinks jewellery is a burden to children.. so she put them away and COMPLETELY FORGOT about them. she found them today when she was clearing stuff up. one’s a nice necklace with a pendant, that i’ve decided i will wear. the other is a bangle-type thing that’s too small for me now, which saddens me. the grandmother that gave them to me has alzheimer’s and doesn’t remember who i am anymore, i guess knowing that she gave these to me years ago makes me feel … well, it’s not a feeling i can really describe. i’m hoping to get the bangle re-modelled or resized so i can wear it. it’d mean a lot to me if i could.
