dana_ann of course you can learn to read/write music! If you want to learn piano I'd suggest buying a couple of theory books to try and get the general idea what it's about. It takes a lot of practise and comittment to learn to read it, but if you keep at it you'll be...

OK, I have a little bit of a dilemma, being hugely unexperienced in this area... I like a guy and he has no idea... Do I tell him or wait and see what happens? I'm not sure if he's taken at the moment, but I plan on finding...

dana_ann Yah scary is the word... There's also an added complication since he lives about 3 hours away from me. Could be worse though, location wise. I'll just see what happens. Everything gets put on hold if he's already with someone though... Thanks for your response...

Do you have leadership skills? What community/school etc groups have you led? What qualities do you value in leaders (others and yourself)? I've captained sporting teams that I have been a part of, I am in the Student...

dana_ann Yes exactly. Although a lot of the time I'm just outshined by people with stronger personalities than me, but I guess that just gives me a chance to sit back and watch... which can also be a great thing...

dana_ann Somehow I already knew about your birthday being on Friday. Freaky... How many years young are you going to be? Music Festival should be awesome. Specially if you're going with Alex :P Speaking of Alex, I haven't talked to him in ages either. Is he coming up...

dana_ann I wouldn't say I 'need' to have a boyfriend. I would like to, especially as there's someone I like at the moment, but I wouldn't just hook up with some random person for the sake of saying I have a boyfriend. Not having one hasn't killed me in the last 16...

dana_ann I can easily lead or follow... It depends on the personalities of the people around me. If I'm with people that have really strong personality I tend to shrink into the background, but other times with people that perhaps aren't quite as out there, I'll find...

dana_ann I don't have a parrot I'm afraid. I do have a cockatiel and a rosella though. The cockatiel was called Tweetie by it previous owner, but we just call her Birdie... and the Rosella is Mr Bird... Jeez we're creative. No points for guessing where they came from....

dana_ann Hey! Long time no chat! But more onto the subject... I'm actually feeling very Christmassy for once. Usually I have trouble getting into the spirit because my family isn't all that into it. But this year I got the tree up on the 2nd of December (instead of...

dana_ann Lol not all poems have to rhyme. Although often there is more challenge in writing ones that do. The great thing about songs is the words don't have to rhyme completely for it to sound good. Sometimes the same vowel sound is enough. And the other thing I love...

dana_ann I'm afraid I haven't heard of most of them. The exception is celine dion of course. I'm starting to get a bit more known in australian Country, but I'm still really young so it's hard to really go for it at the moment. Keep writing though. It's worth it :)

dana_ann Me too!!! The best two in the bottom two?? How does that happen?? I cried when I found out Ben was going, and I'm not even an emotional person. If Matt goes as well I'm not sure it would even be worth watching anymore...

Have you ever been really jealous of a person, even though you know they aren't really all that attractive -and I don't mean attractive in the physical sense. A couple of weeks ago I ended up in the same place as a girl who...

dana_ann Yeah, I know that feeling as well. I'm not particularly open. I suppose that's part of the reason why the situation above bothered me so much. I was just starting to make friends and then 'the person' came in and they forgot I existed again. I'm quite shy as...
