~Katy

Guess what...despite all your thoughts and worries... I AM ALIVE!!!!!!!!!  :)  yay.  I have just been SUPER busy.  With school, music, and speech and debate. 

Oh...and responce to all of ya'lls comments about how you dont want to do speech and debate, and how you feel sorry for me cause of all that... (well...it was something of that sort :)  You know, I make it sound like torture, but it really is quite fun :)  Right now I am (supposed to be...) writing a debate case, and for some strange reason, its actually rather FUN!  I strongly encourage you to find a speech and debate club near you, and join it.  :) 

 As for music, I have been working really hard on my posture for the violin.  It really is just terrible.  My bow hold looks all twisted and weird, my left hand (the one I hold the violin with.. :) is bent in a bizzare way,  (it really looks like I'm missing a finger when I play, for some reason...)  my head bends down very oddly, (just instinct!)  my bow as ALWAYS on the finger board,  and I naturally cross my legs.  All the time.  Wierd, huh?  Well, you bet.  I look deformed or something whenever I play violin!!!  So yeah...its really hard to work on technuiqe, and nothing but technuiqe.  How do you spell that???  well, you know what I meant... :) ...and its especially hard to work on nothing but tech- that word, if you are a natural fiddler.  Thats why my username is what it is.  FIDDLER4him.  Yeah...i dont do real great on the classical technical stuff.. :(  but I DO want to learn it... :) 

So yeah...dats whats been going on with me, lately.  :)  I just thought I would post a little something so that ya'll know I'm not dead or anything.... ;-)
