I know this may come as a shock to you- but... **straitens up confidently** I am moving to wordpress. I know, I know. After all these years-**counts**-er, after this YEAR, I have said-or at least thought- how depressing it would be to move...but...I am moving. That is final. However, I might get homesick and come back...but for NOW, it is final. PLEASE don't abandon me...still post comments, still tag me, still do what ever you want to me. Just so long as you keep commenting. Or else I shall get lonely. This is really a matter of life and death...see, if you stop visiting, I will get depressed and die. And you wouldn't want me to DIE, now would you?
Anynhow...stop by, maybe leave a comment- or even just VISIT!! Just...don't leave me.

ME NEW BLOG

Is breá liom ach ... Satharn nach tú? Tá a fhios agam do bás a fháil ach fios a bheith agat cad a deir an ... Tá brón orm, ort ní dócha go mbeidh ar a gcumas é a léamh. Thats saol. Táim rambling ach mar sin tá sé cosúil mé cliste, agus tá a fhios conas Gaeilge a labhairt. Ach-whispers-I don't. Haha, ní bheadh agat gueseed, ba mhaith leat?.

Sorry...I just felt like showing off my, um- wonderful Google translator skills.

TRANSLATION:
I just love Saturdays...don't you? I bet you are just dying to know what I am writing...chances are you won't be able to read it. That's life. I am rambling just so I look smart and look like I know how to speak Irish. **whispers** I don't. Haha, I bet you would have never guessed, would you?

Yup. Thats what I do when I am sick of speech and debate and school.

"Photo Shoot"

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.... ;-)
