I am being civilised.

As in, my mother wants me to learn to ballroom dance. I'm not too sure how I feel about that. Mehn, it could come in handy. De, I've always wanted to see how far I could get being utterly uncivilised. Kai de, furthermore I usually prefer to be the one playing the music, rather than dancing to it. Yet, it could be fun, and I have random moments of wanting to dance. On the other hand.... which hand am I on? Oh well. See, that's the cool thing about ancient Greek. You can start with "on the one hand," and just keep adding "de" until you're done. *pouts* Frankly I think I'd be better suited to Irish step dancing than to tango-ing. I like the whole pointed-toe thing, and I'm used to that type of music; my body knows how to deal with it. Or Contra dancing. (For those of you unacquainted with Contra dancing, think A&E's Pride and Prejudice-type dancing, only for a slightly less *ahem* sophisticated class.)

On a slightly more positive thought, I've found sheet music for three of the songs on Riverdance. Not Rachel's favorite, but a couple of good ones nonetheless. Never fear! A Fflam is persistent! Oh wait, I'm not a Fflam. Oh well. In any case, I shall become proficient and play them for y'all when I return.

I also apparently own an Irish tin whistle. And a recorder, and a pentatonic flute. Who knew? Now, if only I knew how to play them. I know which fingers go where, but that's about it. Hmm.

I also appear to be spelling things British-style. How odd.

Ooh, which songs, which songs?

Sounds very exciting! :D

Now to bed, so we can get up and go to Scotland tomorrow. :D

The Countess Cathleen, Women of the Sidhe, and Reel Around the Sun. I love the Internet!

Scotland! I know you will have a stupendously fabulous time. You must tell me all about it when you get back! You can write a series of VSDs about it. You can hang out in pubs and tell me what tunes are popular this year so I can learn them ahead of time! *poke*

Well, you've probably already left by now, but oh well. Be prepared to be interrogated the second you get back! I'll miss y'all. *hugs* Well, I already miss y'all, but you get the idea.
