Endless Sonata
After thinking some more, and looking at your suggestions, I was surprised that the majority of the people picked Piece(s) of Me. That one was one of the ones I liked the least (^^;;). It reminds me too much of Ashlee Simpson (not that I have anything against her). Dropping the “s” didn’t help much.
So why did I pick Endless Sonata? Well, I like the way sonata sounds. I also happen to be a musician/ex-musician since I currently don’t play any instruments, but I do recall liking sonatas. And that name is also the most original. I took the Endless part from Endless Waltz (an anime movie), and Silent Sonata (from a piece of artwork I found on luvluv.net) and stuck them together. At least I think that’s where my inspiration came from. Yes it’s disappointing that I always seem to have reference points such that my ideas are never 100% original. But I believe that’s true for basically everyone else.
I also like it because, well, symbolically life is a never ending song. Since I’m not too great at singing, life is an instrumental song, and I’m playing solo. A solo instrumental song with usually three to four movements in contrasting keys, mood, and tempo is what a sonata is, I think. I hope. The sonatas I’ve played are that way; but they can be a duet, like a flute solo with piano accompaniment. The piano part will be you guys. And my sonata can have more than four movements…errr maybe. I’m not sure when one movement ends and another begins. Yay I’m so excited!
This also calls for a new theme. I’ll have to have music notes somewhere on this site. Otherwise, you wouldn’t get in the mood for music when you visit. The new layout will have either a brighter color scheme, or a pastel one. Either way, I think it will have less grey, since I like variety. The other themes will still be accessible via the Themes section in the sidebar. Hmmm maybe something like midori_hitomi (my dead Xanga account)….? I like how the blending of warm colors turned out. It has sheet music in the background. I’d like to implement a blending of colors with sheet music, and a fluid appearance somehow. The color scheme may be green, yellow, red, orange, and navy blue. Or maybe that’s too much. It could be green purple and orange/golden yellow/tanish yellow.
Do you guys like my ideas? Sorry this entire entry is about Endless Sonata. I didn’t realize I’d write that much just on a site title. But people do say a narrow blogging topic is ideal. I think. I say “I think” a lot don’t I? Also, does my site seem to run a bit slow? Sometimes it does for me. Munin also says it’s slow, but sometimes it’s not slow at all. I’m not sure what’s wrong.
Sidenote: I edited the About page, and did some editing on each of my themes.

“A solo instrumental song with usually three to four movements in contrasting keys, mood, and tempo is what a sonata is” - i wonder how you could express this visually.
are you using php? my site’s php and i get really big latency spikes for some reason once in a while.
Sonata, huh? It was.. the real pain D: I’ve only played one sonata, and I think that’s it, but I’ll try to learn ^^
By the way, beautiful name and beautiful layout!
I really like your ideas~ Good luck on the others
Piece of Me sounds too stereotypical of a journal or personal site. I like what you picked a lot better.
Endless Sonata is neat. I think it’s because of a game that I keep thinking of Sonata as a game reference.
But gasp, yay for Endless Waltz. I think that was the only worth it part of the whole Gundam Wing series, haha.
Yeah it runs really slow sometimes like it can’t load the content. But like right now it loaded just fine for me.
I like the site name that you chose!
I like how you compared life to an endless sonata, I never thought of it that way :).
Oooh Endless Sonata sounds really cool XD I likey
