I live in a messy little apartment,
and do $10 for 30 minute piano lessons.
First lazy kid comes in at 3:oo today,
I give something easy like "Oh when the saints" to learn in a week, and the eleven year old kid tries explaining why he couldn't learn it in the last four weeks because he was busy.
Busy with what?

I am here, and glad to be.
I like Chuck's books, the ones that I have read.
I never returned Choke to my local library,
they stopped sending notices a month or two ago.
I just liked the book so darn much.

Barabas joins the Cult on the same day Christ is crucified?! coincidence?!
The jews called for you to be freed instead of Jesus and now you come to the cult on the day he died to mock him. For shame, Barabas. For shame.

The name pick was intentional.
I was curious as to if anyone'd make the observation.

uh oh. i think you offended eddie. now me and meerk and night gonna jump yo ass after school..

i think barabbas is a clever name today. i think deicide woulda been a better choice, though. but my humor is pretty subtle and hi and welcome to the cult.

so you teach piano. has that always been your vocation, or is it a new venture ?
what other authors do you love ?

you can always find booktalk and writetalk around here. and there are plenty of spots to avoid such talk completely if you so desire. the cult is bigger than any of us. as they say, you decide your own level of involvement. and yes, that was a terribly executed pun, i know..

any woot
have fun

Something about Good Friday's making me exercise all sorts of biblical knowledge i keep stored up in my head. Not really sure why it's all there or how it all got there, to be honest. Very little about the bible holds any interest for me or to me, but, there it is, just floating about, waiting for someone to mention a name that people aren't named anymore.

I like you sense of humor, Barabas. Welcome to the cult.

Have you been back to the library? Mine makes you pay for a book you don't return before letting you check out any new books.

I get facial reconstruction surgery more often than every 2 years, you wouldn't be able to keep up with me to possibly jump me.
As for vocations, I never really had one. Of course I love the piano, but I'm impatient with kids. As long as I get money out of their parents, I seem to mind less. I don't really love the authors, I like the books they write.
Ejrathke, I take that your name is Eddie, the bible is quite the interesting book. If you have time for thousands of bizarre stories.

yeah, it looks like a basic misspelling and so for months you'll be making fun of someone under your breath every time you seem them post, and then one day, you'll notice what it means and you'll be like, that member is the coolest member in the whole interworld !!

Thank you for the kind welcome, mirka.

Yes, unfortunately my library as well makes you pay for a missing book.
That's why I made a new card under my grandfather's name and address.

Are you speaking of the missing B in my name?
I noticed soon after joining, sadly it was too late
but hell the name has enough Bs.

Be careful with that card. Eventually you'll run out of granpas and have to start returning books!

It is, it is.
I used to pay at least around twenty for my own lessons as a kid.
Half the kids I try to teach, however, put no effort in learning.
I'd feel bad taking money for nothing...especially since the parents have faith in these children and no idea that they're wasting money.

Do you tell the parents the kids have to practice an hour a day to get the most out of their lessons or anything like that?

I sure do tell the parents that the kids must at least play a half hour a day,
I assign songs by writing dates at the top of the sheet.
I tell the parents to even check their kid's books.
You wouldn't believe the excuses the parents think up when I inform them Jimmy wasn't prepared.

About a year and a half,
I'm aware I'll have to raise the price sooner or later.
As of now, I seem to be doing alright.

Welcome to the Cult.

I can't imagine finding someone that would teach piano for $10 a session. That would make me work even harder, knowing that the teacher was spending their time for so little money - I wouldn't want to disappoint. Also, I would probably buy you gifts to make up for the difference. I can't imagine people not putting in some effort when you're working for so little. I suppose many people think differently than I do though.

If only all people thought like you.
Instead these kids supposedly play soft ball 24/7, giving them little time to play their notes twice through.
What a hectic life the kids live these days!

You're the kind of person I'd love to teach piano to.
