About Me:
O ye men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn or
misanthropic, how greatly do ye wrong me. I can have
as much fun as the next man, really! And all of that talk
about my violent mood swings and terrible temper is all
slander, they are just jealous and cannot comprehend my
genius. Also, I was actually born in 1770, though I was
confused about the exact year for some time...
-
Who I Want to Meet:
A beautiful, refined, sympathetic woman who
won't mind that I'm still utterly obsessed with my Immortal
Beloved. I have very high standards, despite my
notoriously horrible luck with women. I'd also like to
meet a patron, preferably an aristocrat who will shower me
with the money and praise that I deserve while giving me
the artistic freedom that my genius demands. If you'd like to be my friend... er... friendster, just remember that my last name is van Beethoven.

After the French occupied Gratz castle, the local Prince wanted to arrange himself with the occupants and organize a concert with Beethoven (who was his visitor then). Beethoven instead left without telling anyone and just left a message:
"Prince! what you are,you are by circumstance and by birth. What I am, I am through myself. Of Princes there have been and will be thousands. Of Beethovens there is only one.."
Could there be any better testimonial?
BTW, thanks for the symphonies 3 and 6, the best ones ever written. 9 is nice too, but the last movement is too long.
unfortunately dead, i would be the earthly
(imperfect) version of your "immortal
beloved" - mood swings don't bother me
when there's genius behind them.
complaining that his part was too hard and
you said "what care do I have for your puny
fiddle when the divine speaks to me?" (or
something like that. Right on! It sucks when
they do that...(P.S. can I borrow some mojo?)
