Accidental Birthday Gifts & Subsequent GIP
May. 5th, 2011 08:35 pmSo, yesterday was my birthday and I have to say one tremendous thing for social networking... it is a lot harder for your friends and distant relatives to say they forgot. Talk about an outpouring of warm fuzzy feelings. *_* You guys are the awesomest. How old am I? Now... a woman never reveals these things, does she? ;) We'll put it this way... my mother is 29. Does that help? ^_~
Anyway, for the actual day of my birth, I got to get out of class early and study for a Linear Algebra test and my Calc professor allowed me to take the test home as a take-home test. (OK, I'm auditing the course and she doesn't actually get to give me a grade, but still it was awesomely nice of her, don't you think? ^_^)
...You'll note, I think these all fall into the "Yay" category. *sheepish grin* What? I like math. ^_^
Anyhoo, in more commonplace gifty terms, a friend of mine from chorale (who is a vocal instructor), gave me a free voice lesson to help me for solo auditions next week. I tell you this mainly to tell you that it's nice to hear a quasi-objective professional opinion that I have a good voice. Secondly I tell you this to tell you this: I CAN STILL HIT A HIGH 'C'. *boggles* That'd be this note up top here for those of you non-music people. And here I thought the time I hit the 'D' one step above that when I was 15 was a fluke. O_O I guess I can't say that anymore if I can still hit that 'C'. O_O;;; I guess I really am a soprano. ;) Now if I could just open up my voice up there... look out world, here I come. ;D Also, low and behold, when I'm relaxed and enjoying myself, I really do have a vibrato. ^_^ Now if I could only learn to control it... O_o;;;
OK, enough music babble. ^_^ Other gifts to myself: Took a friend with me to go see Hair #9 in Hartford this past weekend. 4th row orchestra, 3rd and 4th seat from the left aisle. Yeah, baby! But I already babbled about that, so I will spare you the details. ^_~ Final gift -- and the one that gets the "accidental" label -- I, er... forgot which userpic package I had and picked the one that gives me 210 by mistake. O_o;;; So... erm... yeah. Oops.
*slow smile*
And so I give you icons!! :D
As usual, feel free to steal, but please let me know and credit if you do. ^_^
OMG, I ALMOST FORGOT! O_O Tomorrow is the big family b-day festivities and my mom is making me chicken curry... AND PRISCILLA CUPCAKES. *_* I love my mother. *beams*

Both the new icons come from screencaps of Paris and Steel's "At This Performance" Appearance on 11/8/09. This was back when they were both understudies for the Broadway show. Their rendition of Hair is very well done (this icon was snapped at the ending pose) and it's always fun to see them having so much fun. ^_^ |
Also from Paris and Steel's "At This Performance" Appearance on 11/8/09, this one from the interview prior to them singing. Paris is just too adorable in this shot and it's clear from watching them (and because they own right up to it) that they enjoy performing together because they're good friends on top of it. So cute. So much love, again. ^_^ |
