My website, www.neomonsoon.com is something i really don’t have time to maintain…
And I’m not particularly happy with its lack of purpose.
I guess it will get better when I’m not trying to maintain a job and still have good grades.

For the longest time I thought it would be really neat to have something in my bedroom no one else had. I bagan to embark on transforming my room: trading my closet doors for curtains, trading my bed for a couch… And it hit me: I need a stop sign.
Now we all know that it is illegal and very dangerous to remove a stop sign from the road. But when we drove by a stop sign in the parking lot of a bank that has been completely run over, me and my boyfriend dashed out of the car into some VERY cold wind and wrested the screws off the sign.
We were cold, partially numb, and SCARED!!! but this big bright red (and slightly dented) treasure is deffinately something I’ve never seen in anyone else’s bedroom!

I am a fairly musical person. My mother was one of those moms that desperately wants their child to be a prodigy, and she signed me up for piano lessons at a young age. When piano never worked out, she signed me up for karate. From there, she enrolled me in ice skating, violin lessons, trumpet lessons, salsa dancing, ballet, and finally cello lessons. I joined my highschool’s orchestra to make her happy, and it was there that I finally learned how to make music with an instrument, the cello.
My teacher, Mr. Langland, would do anything and everything to get you to play the emotion behind a song, even one as simple as the theme to James Bond. I remember once he had our lead cellist talk about how her mom overcame a cancerous brain tumor just to die in a hit and run accident a few months after her recovery because we didn’t play the sorrow in one of our songs.
After that, I learned how to take the frustration of my mother forcing things on me, the stress of being in an unsuccessful relationship, and the pressure of being a big sister, and turning it into music.
I learned how to play the cello my freshman year of highschool, and I’ve never loved anything like the cello ever since.
