So, last night happened to be perhaps one of the best times of my life!!!! I have been waiting for this night for a long time. I could not believe how excited I was.
I woke up tuesday morning and said to myself, "Yes! It is finally tuesday!" I am going to skip all the way up to 'the date.' So, I curl my hair into little loopty loops. It was really cute. Then I put on my favorite pants in the world and a purple shirt. Then at 5:30 it happened. This really cute boy picked me up and took me out on a date. We first went to bashas to pick up some things for dinner. Then we went to his apartment and there was a group of people there. After straining some canned pineapples, we all got to make our very own, homemade pizza. It was surprisingly really good. For someone who does not like pizza that much, it was pretty good.
We then get to go to the most exciting part of the night. It was time to go to the Jon Schmidt concert. Whoever does not know who Jon Schmidt is I will tell you. Jon Schmidt is the most amazing piano player ever. I love his music and have two books of his. The tickets were only five dollars (pretty much a steal) so we went to the Jon Schmidt concert.
I have got to tell you, Jon Schmidt is better in person than on cd. He is really funny. He was playing 'the dumb song' and he wore a red wig. I am convinced of buying a cheap wig and wearing it. Maybe I will be able to play like him. Then he played while he was on his back. Then he played with his toes. He was just really weird and I liked it. I will be trying out some weird things like that soon.
After the concert was over, we left. Obviously. Oh, by the way, my dates name is Trevor Hoyt. Earlier in the week I was telling Trevor about how I made an arrangement of Praise to the Man. He has been wanting to hear it. So, after the concert, we go to the practice rooms (after we pick up his guitar Gibbby) and I start to play for him. I played him a Jon Schmidt piece then I played him my song. He thought it was really nice. He really liked it. Then he asked if there was a story behind why I did some parts. I had to dig deep and tell him but I got through the explanation pretty good.
Then, he wanted me to sing for him. But I told him that I would not sing if he did not sing. SO, we sang the EFY medley of Sister in Zion and We have been born. It turned out pretty well. My voice was shaking so badly. I was really nervous to sing to me. But, he was the best voice ever. I think I could listen to it forever.
He then had to show off for me. He played a few songs on the guitar and it was really good. I wish I could play guitar. He wants me to come up with an arrangement for come thou fount. He made up the guitar part but he wants me to work out a piano part so we could play it together. I don't know if I can do it but I will try.
After we were done showing off, we just stayed in the practice rooms for at least a half an hour and just talked back and forth. I have to tell you that I have never really opened up that much to anyone other than my family. I could just talk to him.
I am pretty sure I like this guy alot. We were able to talk all night without any awkward silences. He sings really well. He has an amazing smile. He says he is five foot seven inches but he seems to be shorter than that. We have a lot of the same interests. He likes country. I don't know what to think about that yet.:) I don't know. I really like him. And I heard through a blue bird that he likes me too. So we will see.
At 11:00 we left the practice rooms. He took me home and gave me a hug. I wanted so badly to have him ask me out again and guess what? He did. We went to play racket ball this morning at 6:15. I don't know if was being easy on me, but we were pretty much at the same skill level. I am pretty sure he was being easy.
Anyway, that was the wonderful adventure of Amanda Ralph. I hope I did not bore you too much. I will keep in touch about this subject.

Wish me Luck!!!!

So, today and friday and saterday, is the day I have been preparing for all semester. I play piano for the mens chorus. Lucky? I think so. Well, it is now coming time in the year for all the concerts. This week is Fall Sing. I am so excited for it. I just love to hear the people sing their little hearts out. Some songs are funny. Some songs are really pretty. Although I don't like this concert as much as I did last semester, it will still be good. I just hope that I do good with the piano. There are times that I get it really good and times that it does not sound so good. So, hopefully it will be good. Wish me Luck:)

Embarrasing Moments

Have you ever seen the picture that has a staircase that is black and another staircase on top that is white? Well, if you have not, just imagine stairs. Anyway, on the picture it has something to the effect of: Do you find yourself falling down the stairs? Or better yet, do you find yourself falling up the stairs?"
I bring this up to tell you an embarrasing moment I had in my life today as well in the past. I can never seem to grasp on to the idea of stairs at times. I have been climing them for a long time now but still can't grasp on to the idea. Today, impossible as it sounds, I fell UP the stairs. Thankgoodness no one was around to see me fall. I was still quite embarrased. But don't worry I have had more instances of falling. There was one time, I was walking down the stairs at school, and my feet just slipped out from under me. How EMBARASSING. Not to mention scary. Then there was again another time that I fell up the stairs at school. This time someone did see me. I just tried to ignore it but my face got so incredibly red. All in all, stairs are not my friend!
