h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

First meeting with the new piano teacher today - and it seems that I finally have a teacher who's just perfect for helping me getting further with playing and "improve my technique" as they say... Next year's goal is to get to Sibelius-Academy then, I guess, and it doesn't even seem so distant anymore as it did before I met the teacher... Although already in May when I got recommended to this teacher I already dared to dream about the Academy... But now... Great great great!! Happy happy happy!!
And I also got the last spring's music theory's exam back today - got the best possible grade!! Although I thought I was in real trouble when doing the exam... Happy happy for that too!!
So the dream might be coming true... Although it needs a lot work... But... Doesn't matter...
Life's great!!

*Alien rounds a corner near her home in Kirkkonummi, Finland. As she does, she is shocked to see an enormous grandstand has been constructed in her path. As she gets closer, she can hear a roar as of hundreds of thousands of people cheering. Slowly she starts to distinguish that they are chanting something. No, it's not Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! at all, it's actually 'Anni! Anni! Anni! Anni!' Alien enters the stadium and is ushured by an usher to a spectacular Grand Piano in the style of an intergalactic spaceship. Sitting down on the stool, she has a brief moment to reflect on the weird turns her life keeps taking before the crowd subsides into an unfathomable silence, waiting for her to begin to play. She checks the music in front of her, noting, without any apparent surprise, that it is 'Always look on the bright side of Life'. She looks towards the conductor of the Vienna Boys choir, who are going to sing the afore-mentioned song, and giving a breif nod of her head, begins to play......*

A brief glimpse of the future, perhaps?
Congratulations, Anni Laineen Ikioma Extraterrestriaali Netti(sivusto)

*after having played ALOTBSOL she begins playing Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique with such a great force it scares away all the birds within a mile*

And lol - do you know what that "Anni Laineen etc." means?

Why, but of *course* I do (not) I make no claims to knowing any other languages, and if I had any idea what I was saying I would have mutilated it like I do French, which I can almost pretend to know

*Having finished playing Sonata Pathetique, Anni begins pounding out Fur Elise with great gusto, confusing the crowd who are used to hearing played sotto*

lol
Anni Laineen Ikioma Extraterrestriaali Nettisivusto is something like Anni Laine's very own extraterrestrial website... That's why it was funny you quoted it there...
Vous parlez francais?? Ah, mais maintenant je me rappelle que tu l'as me dit... Francais n'est past facile... Et je ne le parle pas trés bien...

Oui, je parle Francais! Certainment, mon ami. As for the rest - I don't know why you are rappelling anywhere, French is very fun, and you speak (or at any rate, type ) it very well. See, even the bits I don't know I can guess, and even rappelle I know doesn't mean what I said, so it's a start

I had a feeling it meant something like that, but because I don't pretend to know, I have full license to use it wherever I want If you hadn't told me I may well have just made it the title to my h2g2 'personal space' ;-P

And why isn't ;-P a face? It's just not right, dammit!

Ton ami? Monsieur, je crois que je préfère d'être ton *amie*... D'accord? Vous ne puvez pas oublier les e:s... Damn French is hard - I can't say anything I want to - have to use the words I know which aren't too many... Oh well...

And of course you can use Finnish phrases where ever you want... I would've only sued you if you had put that one into your space...

And actually, I think it wouldn't be that easy to wink and stick out tongue at the same time - perhaps that's why it isn't a face... Although they are planning to add more faces in the near future - perhaps that should be suggested...

Well that's interesting - according to baelfish (altavista) you would prefer to be my friendly Apparently, I do not puvez to forget the e:s.... Anyway, I'm happy just to have remebered the word, never mind correct gender.......

Personally I'm sure it's not that difficult to poke out your tongue and wink at the same time.......
*proves himself right*
I would, however, judging by the rather odd looks I just got in the computer lab, suggest that the combination makes you look rather like someone who has got their tongue and eyelash stuck in a threshing machine of some sort....... I've just noticed how very proper your use of just three dots is - it's a correction I avoid at all costs when using word processors........................

Anyway, back to the show...

*Having confused the audience with Fur Elise, Alien (or Anni Laine - Extraterrestriaali) takes a moment to pause and contemplate the wonder of the thousands upon thousands of adoring fans ringed around the stadium. Having duly considered the situation, and decided that the only thing wrong is that the stadium is not nearly big enough to do justice to her fame, she breaks into an extended version of her world-wide hit, "Anteeksi, oletko nähnyt pyyhettäni?", performed to the tune of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture and sung by the Vienna Boys Choir, who had been getting a little bored -
Anteeksi, oletko nähnyt pyyhettäni?
Voisitko toistaa sen?
Anteeksi, oletko nähnyt pyyhettäni?
Voitko neuvoa minulle tien rautatieasemalla?
Voitko neuvoa minulle tien rautatieasemalla?
Anteeksi, oletko nähnyt pyyhettäni?*
;-P

Don't believe altavista's babelfish, it knows nothing...

LOL! LOL! LOL!
But you know what - I'm not a composer... Although if I only made the lyrics it might work... Hmm... There's a mistake in the railway-station-one btw - you took that from magrathea's entry, didn't you? I thought he had corrected it... Oh well...

And... Three dots (what's the other word for those? I never remember it...) are useful, aren't they...

............................................................................ is, I believe, the official Microsoft name of those three little dots...

If you notice though, you didn't really compose anything (just directly plagarised the Overture and stuck in some silly lyrics). In fact, I'm offended by the way you have just passed off a classic as your own and sold it to an unwitting public. And I did spot the mistake, I was just being kind enough to overlook it

So what do you think of my vision of the future? Unbelievably accurate? If so, can I be your manager?

Oh, but Microsoft probably doesn't know the right word... I'm sure it starts with s... But I NEVER remember it!!

And I did notice I only made the lyrics, that's why I said so...

Of course you could be my manager...

*as the concert is over, Alien waits until the audience is gone and then drags the grand piano home with her because she doesn't have one yet*

Okay, well as manager my standard cut is 74.3% *quietly hoping that it was percentages that she slept through*, and I give you final control of all song writing except when I deem fit to make you play Ace of Base songs, or unless I feel like it.

*Cthulhu swings by with his Grand Piano transporter (as all good managers should have) and takes the piano to Aliens house for her. Unfortunately, he forgets to pick up Alien as well, and so circles around until he runs into her again. "Er, sorry about that. Which way was it again?" Alien just stares unimmpressed at him*

What? You want to be payed as well?? Hmm... 74.3% of what? Of the usual pay? Well if you think that's enough for you...

It's that way.
*points the direction and Cthulhu drives away leaving her behid again*
Well that's- *sigh*

74.3% of all royalties - no, 74.2% (since I keep leaving you behind)

*He looks in the rear view mirror to see her resignedly clumping down the road. "Can't that girl sit on a seat? Oh. I probably should have opened the door. Damn......"
Wheels round again*

No way are you going to get that much... We can discuss that later, can't we... *hopes that he'll forget it by then*

*almost gets run over by Cthulhu*

Never! I have a memory like a steel....what are those things called again?

*Cthulhu draws to a safe stop many millimetres from Aliens back. Kindly opening the door for her, he leans over to help her into the cab, accidently knocking the handbrake as he does...*

I know, it's those... those... damn... I've forgotten... What were we talking about?

*Fortunately they're not atop of a hill - the car only rolls down from halfway of it and crashes into a tree, miraculously staying in one piece. Alien who almost fell off because she had no time to close the door stares at Cthulhu for a while, frowns and says: "Mind if I drive?"*

Don't worry, I won't forget my cut.......

*Cthulhu reflects briefly before replying "Perhaps you should - I hadn't even noticed that we were on a hill.....Do you know how to work a double-clutch?". With a smile of (apparent) absolute competence, Alien slides over into the drivers seat. "Can't be any harder than a pianos foot-pedals. Which one was the double-clutch again?"
Before he even has a chance to respond, the truck is rolling again, over the smashed tree...*

*... and safely back to the road*
