Vikingess · April 28th, 2008, 11:10 AM

No, I think C was blue.

Oh bugger it, I don't know.

*ponders ringing old violin teacher to find out for sure*

Katie'Force · April 28th, 2008, 11:17 AM

hahaha now that's a bit excessive

Vikingess · April 28th, 2008, 11:20 AM

I wouldn't anyway....too scared of the seemingly-innocent question "So....you took it up again, right?"

Katie'Force · April 28th, 2008, 11:22 AM

well it'd kick your ass into gear to start again hehe

Vikingess · April 28th, 2008, 11:28 AM

I am! Just havenae got time!

Oooooooooooooh.....3/4 Stradivarius on ebay for 99p....where's my bankcard?

Hmm, don't think my hands were really designed for violin-playing.
Wonder if I could fit a cello under my chin. Might have to take the spike off the end first...

Why bother?

Me wants:

Lookit!

(Thraxas will understand why that is the coolest violin in existence

)

Everyone should own a purple violin.

And, yeah, might be better if I left the spike on. Then I could simultaneously sup my pint and scratch my arse without dropping my cello!
(mind you, I'd probably then need a lie down after such complex multi-tasking)

So true. I will get round to buying one soon. When I have time to go a shop and try a few for size. You know better than most how unlikely I am to need a fullsize violin

(I'm pretty sure it's going to be between a 7/8 and a 3/4

- and yes everyone, I really am that tiny

)

Much as you are often a loud, hairy, drunken, belligerent pain in the backside, I really do love you sometimes
