Homework break! I need to get my mind off of triads and the cultural geography of Othello...

How are all my friends on DA? Some of you I've been in touch with, but others I feel like I haven't talked to in forever! I miss you guys! College is really great, though. I feel so at home here. In fact, when my parents came to visit me yesterday and took me off campus, I actually felt homesick for college. Is that not insane? LOL

Anyway, that's my explination for never being on here. I'm in music school studying violin performance, which means 9+ classes and hours upon hours of practice (4 minimum). But I'm not gone forever! I can still have hobbies...I just might not have as much time as I used to.

And I can still do memes...once in a while. XD

Pick ten favorite bands/musicians. List the first song you ever heard of theirs, the song you fell in love with, and your current favorite song.

1 - Nightwish
- I think it was their cover of "Phantom of the Opera"
- "Nemo" <3
- omg. "Dead to the World." They sang it at the concert I went to. Marco was so amazing. I love him. omg.

2 - Bryn Terfel
- I heard him singing "la ci darem la mano" with Cecilia Bartoli, and it was instant love.
- "Madamina!" from Don Giovanni. Ahhhh. xD
- "Die frist ist um" from Hollander. I want to hear more Wagner!!

3 - Muse
- "Stockholm Syndrome," of course
- "Starlight"
- "Cave" or "Hysteria"...

6 - Weird Al

7 - Cecilia Bartoli
- "Lacia Chi'o Pianga"
- Either "Voi Che Sapete" or "Non so Piu" - of course, because it was my first time hearing either of those lovely songs; later, I decided that Frederica Von Stade had a better voice for them.
- Anything Baroque.

8 - The Mamas and the Papas
- "Make your own kind of music" (on LOST!)
- "Make your own kind of music!" XD
- I still like that song best, but I also love "Dancing Bear" and pretty much everything else they did.

9 - Stravinksy! xD
- Firebird Suite
- "Gently, Little Boat" and "Love, too Frequently Betrayed" from "Rake's Progress"
- "I go to him" (Cabaletta)...I LOVE this song SO much. Dawn Upshaw performs it amazingly, too.
