Maybe the resolution should be to stop pretending, then
No, I've actually come up with a real one, and I want to log it with the ledge as a way of holding myself accountable. I want to try to teach myself piano in 2010, and, if I can, start saving up for money for actual lessons at some point. We have a piano at my mom's fiance's house, so I've been doing a lot of work on just scales and note recognition and figuring out how the basics of everything works. I know it sounds like kid stuff, but I don't just want to memorize a few songs to pull out at parties, I want to understand the instrument. As a late Christmas present, my mom is shipping a keyboard to me at school, so I won't have to give up my goal when I get back to Boston. I think I'm going to consider it a success when I can sit down with the sheet music to Joni Mitchell's The Last Time I Saw Richard and play it without anyone's help.
