I didn't plan to stay up this late except for the fic...

Had people around this evening for an after Christmas do. And after they left, I came online, read, and talked to maudlinrose for quite some time before going to bed. Which I shall do now. Because really I'm having to concentrate intently to spell everything right, although it's kinda cool how my fingers move across the keyboard at my direction without me looking at them. Feels like playing the piano did, back when I actually practiced regularly, smooth movements, knowing movements, some mistakes, but easy enough to correct, without looking. Only now I'm looking at what the movements of my fingers produce, rather than listening, and reading music. I can read music, you know, I learned that at the same time I learned to play the piano. Can't play by ear, though. It was strange at tcol last year to be in a performing arts class with people doing music who didn't know how to read music. I read music almost as easily as I read normally, although with a little less comprehension. I'm not so good on the directions beyond the basics, mainly because I haven't taken it since I was 17 or so. I just felt really arrogant when I found out they couldn't read music, because I assumed they could, and I don't want to be arrogant. It's not a good look on me. I do try. We played knucklebones earlier. C. was the best, although I was starting to get better towards the end, except at juggles. I don't like that one. I think I should go to bed now.
