I just don't have many random thoughts.

I can't believe I've been playing FFR for over a year now. I haven't been at it very hard lately, and totally missed my "anniversary," but I still remember when I started during finals last year. What was I thinking? In a year, I managed to get into the top 9,000 of over 1.6 million members, and I went from thinking those level 3's were so hard, to being able to get through level 8's (though I'm the best at 5-6). I estimate I hit 17 million arrows and about 2 million I shouldn't have. =) Sure, I only have 50 FCs and 4 AAAs, but it's nice to just try to get through a song, not to be a perfectionist all the time. Here's to another year!

I think that Canon in WHEE by Kita Khyber is a really funny and brilliantly executed concept. Whee!

I've been trying to AAA Trip To The Moon (yes, I know I'm a total n00b) and I now hate that song. I don't think it was worth it.

I've been experimenting with a two-handed style lately (dfjk if you must know). So far I'm very encouraged by the results. It's hard doing fast one-finger melodies, but jumps are so much easier that it makes up for it. I can even see progress on those songs that are way above my skill level but I insist on playing anyway. Now if there's only one key to press at a time, it feels a bit slower, like my hands have less to do (or because I've been messing with the speed as well) and it's hard to keep one hand from taking over the whole thing. For some songs it's still necessary to switch back to one hand to do well, and I don't mind because I'd like to be good at both techniques.
