A few random thoughts

1. When writing up my report from the weekend, I forgot to mention that one of my performances made someone cry. While I realize music had that kind of power, I never realized my music was that powerful. It was shocking to me, honestly, and also (in a weird way) a huge ego boost. It means that I'm doing something right in terms of my bardic. I already knew that I could rev people up with energy, but to know that I can touch other emotions (at least sometimes, for at least a few people) is gratifying.

For the record, the song in question was "The Peasant Knight" by Rosalind of Paradox Keep.

2. Another nail in the cegep teaching coffin: I went to Dawson today and spent some time chatting with Liberal Arts professors, mostly just offering my support. There were 4-5 professors in a group, all but one of whom I'd been in contact with in recent months. The one who hadn't seen me since my Dawson days obviously did not recognize me. Looking at me with a perfectly straight face, he asked, "so, are you a first-year student?"

... Sigh.

3. I watched two hours of television tonight. I suddenly remember why I no longer watch television.

4. Gnawing on cinnamon sticks is a decent substitute for chewing gum (which I hate), but leaves the tip of my tongue numb. More experimentation is required.

5. Tomorrow is "International Talk Like a Pirate Day." Consider yourselves informed. AHHRRR!

Thank'e, m'lass. I never claimed I had the ability to *write* a song as could bring land-lubbers to the edge of tears. I was just revelling in my ability to do it with the words someone else had writ.
