> I started playing the cello when I was ten. At one point, I considered making it my career, but I opted to go into graphic design instead. It's more of a hobby now; I don't get to practice much and I only play it at church. But it's something I really enjoy. Someday, I'd like to take lessons again and get better at it, and even play with a semi-professional orchestra or chamber group.

I play the viola, and I'm darn proud of it. So no cracking viola jokes, please.

M"ever since I came across a page containing no less than two hundred viola jokes, I've been slightly paranoid about being teased about my instrument of choice"el
