Dentist

Day 28: Today, I went to the dentist. I think I am one of the only people who enjoys going to the dentist. I love how clean my teeth feel when they are done. I like the taste of fluoride (weird, huh?) and I like getting my teeth polished. I found out today though that I have to get a gum graph. I have receding gums on a couple of my teeth which means the teeth won't be properly supported. They have to add gum so that they are supported. Only upside is painkillers haha. Just kidding, I'll only use them as directed by a doctor, I promise.

Hmm what else happened today...guitar class. I love the guitar. I love playing it even though I only know eight notes. Today, I played a dumbed down version of "Jingle Bells". I was very proud of myself. It's like when I'm playing those eight little notes that I know, nothing else matters. E,C, E,C, E, G, C, D. The notes are the only thing I'm thinking about, trying my hardest to put my fingers in the right place. It amazes me that you can put three fingers down to play an E chord, strum, and have such a powerful sound come out. It feels good to be able to do something right.

I'm doing pretty well with piano too. This is my second semester so I am at the intermediate level. I'm learning all about scales, major and minor keys, and other music theory things that make my head hurt. I learned a new song in the key of G. You play some of the notes stacatto which means short and detached. Basically hitting the key but not holding it down. It's quite fun. My next class that I want to take is a singing class. I'll probably take that next semester. I have a crap voice but I figure a class might be able to make it tolerable to listen to. Think dying animal to an annoying bird. That's the progress I hope to make.

Well that's all for today's post. I'm sure I will post some extra thing like a poem later tonight once the creative juices start flowing. I always work best at night. The later the better.  I hope you all had a good day, it was another gorgeous day in Southern California.
