What Instrument Should I Play?

-



You Should Play the Harp



You are a sensitive soul, with a great admiration for beauty.

You definitely have what it takes to make beautiful music, but most instruments are too harsh for you.



You are subtle, shy, and even a bit spoiled. You're very picky about most aspects of your life.

It's just your style to play an eccentric, hard to transport instrument like the harp that few people consider.



Overall, you have the relaxed demeanor of a leisurely upper class person, and your music would reflect that.

Your calm yet soulful harp playing would be sure to help people forget their troubles for a while.



Your dominant personality characteristic: your zen-ness



Your secondary personality characteristic: your quiet independence



Since it is midnight and I need to sleep and thinking is out of the question (and maybe you are all tired of pictures), I have done this meme instead (and fulfilled my goal of one post per day and can ignore it for the rest of the day).

An unexpected result. I was thinking trombone (which I played in high school).

I got a guitar... I always wanted to learn to play guitar. I never did and sold my guitar last year.

You just don't seem like a harpy, harpo, harper, harpist, or whatever a harp player is called. I think a trombone sounds about right.

I do love the sound of the harp though.

Ok, I envision myself as the harpist type, I played classical guitar as a teenager, but I got....of all things...the accordian and there was something in there about wacky...go figure! :-D

carra: maybe this is a sign that you should pick it up again?

barbara: I agree, I am not that high strung.

ghee: I think I am sensitive. I am not sure I admire beauty though. I do try to find beauty in things.

kaymac: well, tehn, I guess it is time to Polka!

I should play the drums??? I don't think so. I'm a classical lover. Maybe I had too much caffeine when I took the test.

tena: maybe you could brush them jazz style instead of beating them?

You Should Play the Saxophone

You are charismatic, friendly, and very uninhibited.
You have a lot of personal expression to bring your music.

Improvisational and informal, you can't deal with an instrument that has too many rules or complexities.
You are much more interested in creating unique solos than immersing yourself in music theory.

You have a lot of style, and you definitely are one smooth operator.
And while you may not play perfectly, no one's going to accuse you of being boring.

Your dominant personality characteristic: being very outgoing

Your secondary personality characteristic: your flair for the unique and dramatic


HA! This is funny as I played trombone in high school too!

MOI: thanks for playing and posting the results. So, are you a saxophonist in denial?

I don't know why the trombone appealed to me. It just looked like a cool instrument that didn't tie you downto fixed keys.

I loved the slide notes! We had some really good parts and you needed a good ear actually, which I have. My sisters played trumpet and French horn so I wanted to be different but still in the brass choir!

MOI: I always thought the keys limited the range of notes and expressive power.

Why you should regularly visit your dentist.

I hadn't been to my dentist since May-2004 (normally I went on weekends, but since Sofia and the kids moved to Montreal, I am not in Ottawa on the weekends). Last night, as I was munching on some cashews, I felt a pain in one of my molars and then some grit in my mouth. I went and washed it out, assuming that maybe there had been a stone or something amount the cashews. Turns out I noticed a hole in the surface of the molar (top right, second from the back, my wisdom teeth were removed years ago). Fishing around for grit in my mouth, it looked like crumbled filling. So I assumed that my filling had cracked and crumbled and come out. Went to the dentist this morning, he took an x-ray and came back with bad news. I have a large cavity under the filling, which gave way. The filling did not fall out, but rather impacted into the space of the cavity. He did not rework the filling, since the cavity is very near the root - cleaning it out would likely result in exposing the root. As some...

Chicken Menses

A friend of mine is an ovo-lactic vegetarian. This means that in addition to the plant matter he consumes, he also consumes dairy products and eggs. Dairy products I can accept, but eggs? … hmm, I wasn’t so sure - it sounds a bit like those vegetarians who say they eat chicken and fish. After all, the egg is an animal product. His answer was simple and satisfying, "Eggs are chicken menses. The hen will produce an egg whether she is fertilized or not. Unfertilized eggs are the discarded products of ovulation akin to menses in mammals." Image grabbed from here .
