to the ROLers

I broke my two front teeth on Thrusday at around 12am. It was a freak accident. Basically, my class from Church is playing a game called "assasins" where you eliminate people by sticking stickers on them. So I caught slightly by surprise, and ran into a campus directory when someone was chasing me (I was pretty tired/disoriented/and it was dark/freak accident). Anyhow I totally smashed my two front teeth. It felt a little funny, but was pretty calm. Basically I was to tired and upset to care about what happend. So my friends took me to the ER but obviously they couldnt do anything, so I went home and slept (upset, of course). The next day I tooke a yellowpages with me to school, so after my 8am rehearsal (I covered my mouth whenever I had to talk) I called a dentist to check it out. My brother picked me up at 10am, and I got to the dentists at like 10:30am. The doc looks at it, takes pictures, and shows them too me. When I saw the pictures of the back of my teeth I was like "Oh Shit." Out loud too. From the front, my teeth just looked smashed up, but from the inside of my mouth the nerves were exposed. It was pretty freaky to look at. So I had to get root canals on both teeth. It sucked and I started crying during the process. "Are you crying? Do you feel pain?"
"No, it's psychological," I said. And it was. I tried to practice violin in my fingers/brain, think of my dog, think of people, but everything was very stressful and didnt help. Although eventually I pictured in my mind Spongebob and Patrick Star working on my mouth, using huge drills and stuffing garbage down my throat. That actually helped a lot. So anyways, my dad is going to figure out insurance stuff so I can find a doctor that's accepts my insurance, then I'm going to get crowns. Right now I'm not really worried about my teeth, but I'm worried about how freaking expensive this is all going to be. It seems really weird that I'm handing out letters to raise money for missions when getting my teeth fixed cost thousands of dollars. Pray that God would graciously provide.

There are a few prayer requests I would like to ask you all,
-getting the crowns
-finances for my teeth, books, etc.
-violin progress
-STM
-bible study
-and generally I feel very unsupported in most things.

Slaves

Just letting the world know: at UCLA, all slave labor that is violin related is dished out to two people: me and this girl named Annie. That is because we have a history of helping people... and we're kind of TOO nice.

Hi Tim,

I'm in urgent need of a violinist. Due to a communication, mix-up Hyunsil Roh is now unavailable to play the 1st violin part of a string quartet I had programmed on the Graduate composer's recital May 9.

...etc.

It would mean the world if you could play for me. The piece is not terribly demanding and you will have some nice moments where you get to shine on passages that I made sure were idiomatic to the instrument.

(tim's note: that's so bull.)

Me turn:

Kenny,

Thanks for emailing me. I suggest you bring the music to orchestra and ask Damaris, Minah or Sally on Tuesday, I don't think they're playing for anyone else. That same week I'm playing for two other recitals, and adding another project would really be bad. I'm truly sorry; it's just that this past year I have been approached by so many people to play for performances that it's been detrimental to my own musical development, so I have to limit the amount of work I do for others.



His turn:
Sorry Tim,

I was just informed that you were going to play for me all along. Totally my fault. In any case, thank you very much for agreeing to play! Can you send me your availability so we can schedule the rehearsals?

Here's mine:

M after 3
T 11-1, after 3
W after 3
R 11-1, after 4
F after 2

I have an mp3 of the piece (pretty crappy midi rendering) in case you wanted to hear any of it, just lemme know if you want it. Thanks again!


ME:

Kenny,

I'm not sure what the misunderstanding is, but I never heard about your piece until you emailed me! Annie told me today she is playing violin in your group? Did you try asking the students I mentioned: Sally, Minah, or Damarus (or any of the other violin students really)? Just for future reference, it's good to spread out the work throughout the entire violin studio,


(What I meant was:

DArnM U!! DArM U!! You Knuclehead, you slimeball, you piece of charred rat shoot, you deflated rubber play ball, you dull knife, you DULL-minded numb fingered bafoon! You Baboon! you SLIME RAT you Piece of candybar wrapper! you YOU! You snot brained dixie cup.

hah

When I saw this I thought the dancing looked familiar. Well, it is! it's the same dance from that weird GIF of the guy in the bear costume dancing. Someone must have traced it to make it look like vegita.

"hipsters"

you dig? "it's more like in music, you dig?"

"dig?"

Each hip word or phrase carries with it the individuals own experiance as a hipster. hohoho too bad you're not in class listening to this record.

Some Christian girls xanga:

"Yes, dating is very unfamiliar ground... but if you want to find love, you have to take risks. If you want anything in life, you have to take risks. Love is no exception.

Yes, you will very likely get hurt, but that is part of the learning process. There is no way around it. Step out in faith and trust that God will hold you together if your heart is broken. Pain is how we learn and grow as people--trusting that God will bring us through it and that we will become stronger through it.

Dating is NOT about marriage! Well, ultimately, that may be the goal. But if you immediately think about marriage from the beginning, you'll likely freak yourself out... or freak the guy out. Dating is about learning to interact with the opposite sex, building your social network, enjoying another person's company, learning more about yourself, what you want and what you don't want in a guy, learning about another person... This applies to both guys and girls."

Weird thinking... Student at Western Seminary.

Natural Factors

My apt mate is in the worst mood I've ever seen him in. However!!! He waited for me to get home before he went grocery shopping, knowing that I had an empty fridge. So there, people, this blog has positive comments about people too.

Rona keeps on joking about some buff girl I told her about at the gym. Lesson learned: don't talk to Ro- I mean don't go to the gym. Not much more to say except that my desk is clean and I have school tomorrow. More to read in my wordpress.
