I played my violin today for the first time in a long time, and I can't believe how much I missed it. I played it for a full two hours straight. It was so amazing. I don't know how my fingers don't have huge crevices in them from the strings, and I don't know how they don't ache and aren't black from the strings. (I have a minor allergy to the violin strings and it turns my fingers black. Or something like that.) But they are completely unblemished, and it is fantastic.
It's so strange, because I haven't been playing because I've been so busy, and my string broke and I don't like playing when people will hear me. But I bought strings today, and I had nothing to do, and I suddenly just didn't care if my roommates and neighbour heard me. I just played. And Kayla and Elise may have started applauding while I was playing, which was funny and slightly embarrassing at the same time. But you know, that's life.
It's made me really nostalgic. I've been thinking about my violin group from High School since, and the String Quartet group, and I suddenly really miss those days. Which is weird, because I usually never ever ever miss High School, but now I suddenly do.
(Also, because I'm on the topic of music - if you haven't heard Mumford & Sons before, go and check them out. Now. Because they are brilliant.)
