I've spent a lot of this weekend reading.

Yesterday I reread "To Say Nothing of the Dog" by Connie Willis [;lksajf one of the best science fiction/fantasy authors ever *_*]. I remember the first time I read it, it was a bit hard to get into it. Passage [another of her books] sort of... throws you in there, like this book and Doomsday Book, but it more... eases you into it. You start off with an interview between the main character and another person and it just... helps sent the tone of the book. Doomsday Book took a chapter or so to get into it. This one... I wasn't really feeling it the first few chapters, but I found myself sticking with it. The problem with the beginning is you have no idea what's going on. You don't know where they are, who Carruthers is, what the Bishop's Birdstump is, etc. You have to keep reading to understand everything. So much better on a reread. This would be my... 4th or 5th time reading it, and everytime it gets better. In fact, I think it's my favorite of hers. Passage would beat it, but the ending is so "wtf?!?!?!" and the whole death thing... yeah. So this one's better. I never really appreciated how humorous it was, all the dry wit. Ah. Fabulous. I need to read more of her books. I have more of her books sitting right next to me, actually. Neither sound incredibly interesting, but I'll give them a shot. Mm they're not next on my list, though. I have several books that I haven't ready yet in my bookcase that I just... never got to reading that I will soon. I think my mom also has another of her books.

Today I reread some other book too. Forget which one it was now, actually. It was good, though.

Yeah. I've forgotten how much I enjoy reading. Mm. You people didn't know me at like... 4 or 5. I always had a book with me. Constantly reading. I'm an only child, so... I got bored. Had to entertain myself somehow, and this was before computers were really being used for games and such. In fact, I believe it was before the internet. Or at least, when it just came out. Whoaaa. Freaky. Life before the internet. O_o

Erm, yes. So. Nerd at heart. Love reading. Need school to be out so I can read and not have to have other homework and such to do.

Oh. Finished brochure. Only took about two hours. Would've been a lot less, but my mom's computer froze in the middle of it, and so I lost the entire second side. Bah.

I really should start my geometry project. Eck.

...two weeks. Finals. Then school is out. Like, whoa. O_o Crazy, man.

Oh. I got third place in an icon challenge thing. Of course, 3 were tied for second, but still... Dude one of the one's that got second... eck. It just wasn't that good! It was plain, boring, not incredibly creative, bad cropping, little effects, just... eh. Not so hot. Eh. The other's were far more deserving of their placings. Whatever.

Oh. I entered a blend challenge too. Haven't done that in awhile. It was a colorization challenge, and I always find those fun. Mm. So. Yes.

I think I'm trying to procrastinate something, but I'm not quite sure what it is O_o

All right. I believe I am going to read "Young Miles" by Lois McMaster Bujold until 10, when I shall take a shower. I'm sure you care. But... yeah. All right. I need to stop procrastinating whatever I'm procrastinating, because I'm really dragging this on needlessly O_o

I love being able to steal my mom's TV and watch Fuse and such in the morning :)

Video Count:
3 Simple Plan: "Don't Wanna Think About You", "Addicted", "Perfect"
1 The Killers: "Somebody Told Me" [first time seeing this, woohoo]
1 Franz Ferdinand: "Take Me Out"
2 Jet: "Cold Hard Bitch" [played it twice]
1 Velvet Revolver: er... whatever their latest song is.
1 The Vines: "Ride" [duuude I've been trying to figure out who this song was by for weeks now!]
2 Good Charlotte: "Hold On", "Girls and Boys"
1 New Found Glory: "All Downhill From Here"
1 Offspring: "Hit That"
4 Maroon 5: "Harder to Breathe" [the better single], "This Love" [three times. two at the same time, on two different channels]
1 Story of the Year: "Until the Day I Die"

...yeah, I think that's all the one's I cared about. I had sort of mixed feelings about the GC ones. Like, I still want to snap Joel's neck, but... I sitll like their music. I still think Hold On is a great video. I still smile at Joel's crotch-grabbing dance in Girls and Boys, and grin at the Let's Go! and laugh at the eyebrow wiggling. I just... ack. I don't care anymore that Joel's an asshole. I still like their music, and the rest of the members are cool. It just... I still hate him, but... I'll be all excited when their new CD comes out and I'll still want to see them live. Like I really thought out of the 100+ bands I like, not a single of of the members of any of the bands would be an asshole? That's too unlikely. So what, he's an asshole. Whatever. I still like the music. So there.

Ah I was happy to see Harder to Breathe. I'm really sick of This Love. Harder to Breathe is better.

MTV Hits has the very bad habit of playing 2 videos in a row of the same artist. This can be good with bands such as Simple Plan, but bad with Hilary Duff, Britney Spears, Outkast, etc. Oh, and MTV Hits and VH1 mega hits have the bad habit of playing the same video at just about the same time. Gets quite annoying. I don't know how many times they all played Roses by Outkast. Like, 01975091827390875 times. That's a lot, man x_x

AH THE KILLERS!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEE! Never saw that video, and was pleased when it came on. And, right after that, Franz Ferdinand. Except, I've seen that video numerous times. They play it on MTV in the morning during the time I'm at Lulu's house before school.

I'm pretty sure there were other good videos I'm forgetting. Oh well. Ah I can't wait till this summer. We're remodeling the kitchen, and my mom said she's also going to figure out a way with that to get COX on the TV in the family room and fix the fucking remote [yeah right now, I can't change the channel by remote. I have to go all the way to the box and change the channel. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but I'm a big channel flipper x_x It gets annoying] and such. So I should be able to watch Fuse whenever I want this summer and on. Nice.

...that's it I believe. I need to do my brochure for my ambassador project. Yeah, so, I didn't do it yesterday like I said. So sue me. Like anyone actually thought I would x_x I guess I'll have to start the geometry project like... Friday. Or earlier this week. 'Cause I doubt I could do it all Sunday. Bleck.

School needs to be out.

Ok. This is pissing me off.

So. I volunteered to be a beta at hott_baguettes. A beta is someone whom to you send your fics, and then they make corrections. The corrections can be spelling/grammar related, plot related, whatever. They just do what they can to improve the fic.

And this chick e-mailed me about two weeks ago and asked me to beta her fic. I agreed. So she sent me the fic.

Eh. It was all right. Just didn't capture my interest. Plus, it switched tenses several times in the middle of the fic, from past to present. I reworded some sentences to how I would've put things, corrected the grammar/tense problems, and gave her my criticisms [basically that it moved too fast, and the last paragraph wasn't needed; it was like a sum of the rest of their relationship, and it didn't fit]. I told her that the sentences I reorganized and stuff were just my personal preference and she didn't have to change it to that, but I preferred it that way. However, I said that the grammar changes I made shouldn't be left out since they were correct grammar, and grammar is not up for interpretation. Same with the tense changes.

She posted the fic a day or two ago. None of the changes, not a single one I made, were left in the fic. Not sentence reorganization-wise, not grammar-wise, not tense-wise. Nothing.

What the fuck is that?! What the hell is the point of a beta if you don't freaking use their suggestions?! I can accept not using all the changes I made that I just thought made it sound better. But... grammar... is not up for debate! You can't just decide to change tense in the middle of the fic! It doesn't work that way!

Agh she pissed me off. Seriously. Fine, just waste my time and send me a crappy fic to read and correct when you're not going to listen to a word a say. Agh. I really want to yell at her on LJ, but I figure, why bother. She didn't listen to me before, I don't see why she'd start now.

But. Ugh. [hits]

Whoa O_o Crazy dream last night. Rather long.

All right. It started as the first day of school of 10th grade. First period I had Algebra 2, with Mr. Shulman [sp? whatever]. His room was basically in the same place, but it looked kind of different. Then he took some people off... wait wtf was that?! I totally forget... there was like... Ah. Ok for some reason... some of us had to go through to this other room from a door in his room but I have no idea why. It's not like he'd have a mixed honors and non-honors, and I can't think of any other reason we'd be put in another room. Ah this is going to bug me til... I... forget about it. Anyways, we were in the other room and he talked about stuff but I don't remember.

Ok now this part... I'm not sure if it was after the first part or before, but it seems like it was after. But it also seems like it wasn't even part of this dream at all. Whatever, it doesn'tmatter. All right. I was in Africa staying with some people. And somehow... a guy had supposedly drugged me and then essentially raped me and so the people took me to get tested for HIV/AIDS. Oh and someone else that I know in real life was there being tested or something. Or she already had it? Something. And I was all "No no I don't want to be tested" because I thought it consisted of them poking a needle in my fingers, and I haaaaate needles. And I was like crying, but they convinced me to. So I held out my hand to the doctor, but then he set it down and poked two needles into my knee. And that doesn't hurt as much as the fingers, so I was all "Oh, that's all?" Then later I heard him talking to the people I was staying with and he was all "Er is she... I mean... 'cause she was making such a big deal out of it, but during it, it was like nothing." Yeah, that's pretty much all of that. Really weird and random.

Ok then, it was Friday. Like, of the school week. Apparantly the first day was on a Monday, but I don't remember the rest of the week, or any of the other classes really. So I was going to my locker, but then these upperclassmen had moved them so they could decorate and put some posters up where my locker had been. It was odd. So anyways I found my locker in like the middle of the building, and like... someone I knew but hadn't talked to in awhile, they were looking through their locker and everything had been stolen. I looked through my pencil box which had been in my locker, and I thought an eraser had been stolen, but it hadn't. Ok then this like... guy... I don't think he's a real person, I didn't recognize him or anything. He like... came up to me and was all "Do you need any help?" and I was all "...er... opening my locker?" and... he didn't really say anything and I was all "Not...really.." and so he was all "Ok, I'll help" or something and I was all "O_o;;" and then "Why exactly do you want to help?" and he was all "Oh, well, I saw your sweatshirt," my Simple Plan one, "and... well... I'm a simple guy." Heeeee that's so fucking lame, it's funny. But I was all instantly... as;fjk can't explain. But I knew he didn't like Simple Plan so I was all...oooh he has an ulterior motive. So I was closed my locker and then went over to someone I know but ahhh I forget who it was and I told them about it. And they were all "Whoa! I wish he'd talked to me!" but then I told them about the Simple Plan sweatshirt thing and they were all "Oh, he's lying, he hates Simple Plan," and I was all "I knew it!" and then I was all "Dude, that's really rude and mean of him," and they agreed. Then the bell rang but like... I'm pretty sure the bells weren't working, because I saw a teacher pull the fire alarm to make us all go to class. Heh. Ok, so I went to class and like this time we weren't pulled out to go to the special area so I sat in a seat at the right of Shulman [sp?]'s room and then he muttered, "So many students," or something. Er, yeah. He assigned homework and then like somebody complained and then he got this evil glint in his eye and started handing out these sheets of paper and people were all, "Wait, wtf, is this a quiz/test?!?!?!" and he was all "SHHH! NO TALKING! THIS IS A TEST!" so... apparantly it was a test. Then he passed it out to my row and like... it wasn't math. It was a test in French. It was like really easy stuff, so I got through it quickly and was kind of wondering why people were all "a;ogijasl;kdj ahhhhhhhhh" but then I realized most people take Spanish. And then I mocked them :)

I think that was it. Really really strange. O_o I think I woke up a few times during it too. Hm. It really amused me when I woke up, though. I like how my school day consisted of just math. In which we took French tests. Nice. Ooh, I even remember part of the first question! It was like, "Tu comprends..." and thensomething after it, which means "You understand..." Heh. Probably like, "Tu comprends cet examen?" Oui! Je le comprends! Yay! Psh, and everyone said that you'd be more likely to need Spanish living here than French! Ha, not if you have crazy Algebra 2 teachers who give you French tests! Bah!

...I'm ok. That just really amuses me.

Hm. I should do my ambassador project brochure tonight. Ack. I will! Just... not now.

Oh! I remember one thing from Ruby's! See, Emma had this like... chicken burger/sandwich/whatever thing. And when she was eating it, she found a bone inside of it. THere... shouldn't be bones. We were all "Oh you should tell them and then get money for it," or whatever. She could've choked on that bone, you know. So...:

Waitress: Can I take your plate?
Emma: Er, I found this bone in my chicken.
Waitress: ...can I take your plate?

It doesn't sound that funny... but it was rather amusing. Psh, I think she was ignoring her on purpose.

Er, that's it. There were other amusing moments forgotten now. Yeah. Ok.

Ah, that was fun. Went to Ruby's with Jackie, Emma, Cindy, Nathan, Andrew, Justin, and Simon. And whoa, my lightbulb in my room just burned out O_o

Er, anyways. It was fun. Andrew scarily remembers all the details of like every episode of The Magic Schoolbus O_o It was quite odd. All I remembered that there was a cucumber that became a pickle. I feel bad for whoever had to clean our table. Psh, it's not my fault. I didn't add a ton of sugar, ketchup, mustard, and salt to fries. Or squirt mustard on a place thing and then fold it and open it again. Psh.

A lot of people in formalwear came to Ruby's, and then left in a limo. I think they were going to prom O_o Why the hell would you go to RUBY'S before PROM? That's like... whoa. Just whoa. Ruby's isn't even that good.

Bah, still need to go to spectrum. I wanted to check out the new Slipknot CD, and some other stuff as well. And I want the new Coheed shirt. Oh and I want to see if EB has The Sims 2. Eh. Next week? The druggies won't be at spectrum next week, since we didn't go this week. Yes. Tiffany's mom's logic is good.

Ah there was some funny stuff said I wanted to blog so I wouldn't forget but... I've already forgotten. Oh well.

Hm. Tomorrow I'm going to do my brochure. Monday I'm going to do half of my geometry project. Let's see if I can actually follow up on this goal.

Edit: Oh right. Before Justin and Andrew came, we saw Chloe go into Ruby's and she was all to us from there, "Hi guys!" And apparantly Andrew had invited her but we didn't know and we were all surprised so we were all "Whoa, it's Chloe! Hi Chloe!" And she was all "Is Andrew here yet?" and someone was all "Er, Andrew's not here." Instead of... "Andrew's not here yet." And so she went inside [er we were sitting outside] and talked to someone for a few minutes and then we saw her leaving Ruby's talking on her cell phone and... she never returned. Then when Andrew came he said she went home because she thought she wasn't invited. Awwww that's sad. We didn't mean it like that, we were just surprised she was there. I blame Andrew because it's fun and because he didn't tell us she was coming, so we were surprised.

I've been awake what, two hours? And I'm fucking bored out of my miiind x_x Need to do something today, or I'll go crazy. Ahhh. I wanted to play The Sims, but I think my disk went behind my desk, aka the land of no return x_x Bah. Maybe I'll waste a few hours trying to get it out from there!

...I could be doing my ambassador project or geometry project. Screw that. It's a three day weekend. That's what Monday is for x_x

Heeeee. This amuses me far more than it should. It's a list of amusing real country song titles.

I was made because I lost several weeks of it [er... computer game time]. So I started playing again this afternoon, and I got not as far, but pretty far and then--freezage. So I'm rebelling and just not playing it at all, even though I'll play it again tomorrow.

-=-=-=-=-=-THE MUSIC SURVEY-=-=-=-=-=-

[1] What’s your favorite kind of music?:: Rock/punk/pop-punk/emo/indie
[2] Why?:: I like the fact that the majority of people in this genre write and perform all their music [IE, they don't have random guitarists or drummists that aren't actually in their band playing for them.] I feel the subject matter is a lot deeper than a lot of pop/rap/other genres. I can just relate to the lyrics. And, I simply like how it sounds.
[3] List as many of your favorite bands/singers as possible:: o________o no. Go to your left. They're all listed there.

[5] Why do you like these bands?:: For the latter two, their songs are just... beautiful. Masterpieces. They're just like whoa. For all of them, just... the sound. SP because they really introduced me to pop-punk, from which I branched to punk/emo/indie and such. I had no idea about all the fabulous bands out there before them. I was stuck in a bubble, which Simple Plan helped me pop [hee metaphor]. Mest... I... don't konw. I just think they're awesome. Their songs are fun. They're great performers.

[7] Is there any kind of music that you feel “guilty” for liking?:: ...no?
[8] Are there any bands that you absolutely hate?:: Eh. Not bands so much. Although I really dislike whosit... Queens of the Stoneage. Eh, I'm sure they're some fabulous band to everyone else and I just don't understand it or whatever but really... I just don't like them. Don't like their sound. Ack. Um... otherwise... not so much bands. "Singers" and rappers, yes.
[9] Do you listen to music on the radio?:: yep
[10] Do you own a portable CD player?:: yep
[11] How often do you use it?:: er everyday, either on the way too school or on the way home.

[15] Do you download music?:: well, yes. But... I only do it if I can't find the CD anywhere or to check out the band. I end up getting the CD anyways. I only have like... 20 songs downloaded, at most. And like half of them I ended up buying anyways. The others are like.. Reset, which is dead and I can't find any of their CDs, and like... The Killers, whose CD isn't out yet. And so on.
[16] Have you ever gone to see your favorite band live?:: Yep! Twice! And I saw GC three times, even though.. not my favorite band anymore. Um, saw Mest once, Sugarcult once, Yellowcard once, SOTY once, OH Something Corporate! once.Wait wait I want to add SoCo to my list of absolute favorite bands of all time. So there.

[17] What is your favorite song lyric ever?:: Oh god. It's time for you to choose the bullet or the chapstick! Hee! erm. Fragments, ideas, and too many pronouns, stop it come on you're not making sense now. Nothing's gonna change the things that you said, nothing's gonna make this right again. People ask me how you've been, I fake a smile and say ok but it don't feel much like Christmas. Ok, I'm done. Er, those aren't all the same song if you hadn't noticed. There are loads I love, though. Eck.
[18] Favorite CD cover?:: I love the pamphlet of the Motion City Soundtrack CD x_x the new Sugarcult has a cool cover, I think. Oh, and so does the new FOB. Oh, Brand New's Deja Entendu is cool. Eck too many!
[19] Favorite album?:: alskfdj;laksjf no.
[20] Favorite song(s)?:: laksjf see left.
[21] Do you play a musical instrument and/or are you in a band?:: I'm in... band. But school band, not a band. x_x I play piano, clarinet, bass clarinet, and some guitar. Oh, and recorder. And like, actually knew how to play. Not the hot cross buns crap they teach you in 3rd grade. I knew loads of notes. Eck can't play anymore, though, I kind of forgot... most of them x_x
[22] How or where did you first hear your favorite band?:: Theme song of a TV show. For like, 2 episodes, and then the show was cancelled.
[23] Do you always have a song stuck in your head?:: lot of the time, yes/
[24] Which song do you have stuck on your head right now?:: Er... the Brand New song that goes "It's time for you to choose, the bullet or the chapstick." I just forget which one it is. ...it's... Brand New, right? Not TBS? O_o My brain's dead.
[25] How often do you buy CD’s?:: Pretty much whenever I go to spectrum.
[26] Are you from a musical family?:: Yeah. Dad plays guitar, piano, clarinet. Mom knows some guitar. My dad's father was a professional clarinet player when he was... well, not dead.
[27] Do you like loud music?:: sure
[28] What’s your CD case like?:: ...oh. Heh. I thought like... the CD jacket/case of one CD, and I was like "WTF I have more than one!" But... erm I don't really use it, I got it in 3rd grade. Now I just have a CD tower/spinner thing on my dresser.
[29] Do you like to express yourself through music?:: Yep
[30] Describe in a sentence what music means to you:: I really don't deal well with my emotions [I generally hide them], and music just... helps me deal. Music helps me not explode. I really am hating Joel right now, but.. I agree with that quote from him that's all, "Music is an escape." Because it is. And this is supposed to be only one sentence, but I DEFY YOU. So there.

Survey time. Bored as hell. I'm going to play Superstar later, but right now... I... er. I dunno. So there.

1. Your favorite song with the name of a city in the title or text. Er... do I know any? I'm sure there are songs I like with cities in the lyrics but... I'm blanking. Screw it. My brain's not functioning. It's Friday.
2. A song you've listened to repeatedly when you were depressed at some point in your life. Uh... the entire Smile Empty Soul CD. Primarily, Silhouettes and Bottom of the Bottle. Here With Me by Michelle Branch. What? I was like, 12. And anyways, I still like it, so there [sticks out tongue] And of course I'm not ashamed, which is why... I'm... putting this under a strike. Uh, Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley and Honey and the Moon by Joseph Arthur. That's about it.
3. Ever bought an entire album just for one song and winded up disliking everything but that song? Gimme that song. Oh crap, what was it? "One in a Million" by... someone. From the Miss Congeniality Soundtrack. Ahaha that soundtrack sucked.
4. A song whose lyrics you thought you knew in the past, but about which you later learned you were incorrect. Ooh haha. There're lots, I'm sure. Er... anything Coheed. Because they sound like "Aeeeohasdflkjwuueeeekjfyyyy lalala" to me.
5. Your least favorite song on one of your favorite albums of all time. Ooh favorite albums of all time... hm. Riot Girl, but then I'm not liking GC too much, and I don't think TYATH is a favorite album of all time. Still hate that song though. Er, don't really like Meet you There, but it's fun to sing to. x_x Ok that's it.
6. A song you like by someone you find physically unattractive or otherwise repellent. Ooh hahaha. "Emotionless," because dude, ew, Joel. But then, pretty!Billy and sexybald!Chris. Eh. Ok.
7. Your favorite song that has expletives in it that's not by Liz Phair. "Fuct Up Kid"! I like that that's the first thing that popped into my head. Ummmm. Lotsa shit by Mest. Dunno what else. Lazy lazy lazy.
8. A song that sounds as if it's by someone British but isn't. "Somebody Told Me" by The Killers! Ha! That was super easy. I could've sworn they were British. They're actually from Las Vegas. Oh and "Who's Gonna Save Us" by The Living End, but they're Australian so... eh. Definitely The Killers though.
9. A song you like (possibly from your past) that took you forever to finally locate a copy of. Ooh. ...I don't know. Until the Day I Die took forever. I remember searching online, and couldn't find ANYTHING that would work. That was post-Kazaa but pre-Ares. So, yeah.
10. A song that reminds you of spring but doesn't mention spring at all. ...er... "When I'm With You" - Simple Plan. I have no. Fucking. Clue. Why.
11. A song that sounds to you like being happy feels. alskfj oh god. The Future Freaks Me Out? I don't know. I just... yeah.
12. Your favorite song from a non-soundtrack compilation album. Rock Against Bush! YEAH!!!
13. A song from your past that would be considered politically incorrect now (and possibly was then). ...uhhhhh...
14. A song sung by an overweight person. ...anything by Ruben Studdard!
15. A song you actually like by an artist you otherwise hate. Heh. I tend to hate artists and not like anything by them at all. :) Actually... I... kind of liked "Cleaning Out My Closet" by Eminem x_x But then he's never bugged me too much. Eh, his stuff is better than most rappers. Heh. My dad likes him.
16. A song by a band (whose members actually play instruments) that features three or more female members. "Take it Off" by the Donnas. Except wait. "Keep On Loving You" by the Donnas because I remember actually liking that one way back when. It was before they got annoying.
17. One of the earliest songs that you can remember listening to. Ooh, the Winnie the Pooh soundtrack! Or maybe not soundtrack, but it was awesome! Heh. Also... anything by NSYNC, Spice Girls, etc. Oh shut up. You know you liked them too x_x
18. A song you've been mocked by friends for liking. ...see. My friends? Aren't assholes. They don't mock me. Like, we don't all like the exact same stuff, but... we don't make fun of each other for what we DO like. The closest to mocking would be like... Jackie not liking SP/GC/etc. But she, unlike a lot of retarts [hee, retarted. People are stupid], doesn't feel the need to comment on it whenever they see me. And like... Tiffany saying she doesn't like the voice of the lead singer of Maroon 5. Like, wow. They have different opinions! OMG let me go kill them because omg they must be mocking me or something? No. Ah, I don't know what i'm saying anymore. Point being, they don't mock.
19. A really good cover version you think no one else has heard. ...but everyone's heard... fine. "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley, because I THINK it's a cover. I mean I know there's another versoin by Rufus W...something. But I don't know if Buckley's is a cover as well. Otherwise... uh... "Hurt" by Johnny Cash, but plenty have heard that. So in conclusion, I don't like you.
20. A song that has helped cheer you up (or empowered you somehow) after a breakup or otherwise difficult situation. Little things, simply because it's the first song on my comfort CD. Which I haven't listened to in ages. Eh. Need a new comfort CD.
21. What was the last song you downloaded? Ermmm. Something by Reset. Why? Possibly. [...er... Why's a song, btw.]

I might be back with more. If you're lucky. Oooh.

Ok, first off, leadership positions:

Drum Major: Mike Nichols - Eh. I knew it would happen. It was inevitable. But I really thought Nathan should've gotten it.
Assistant Drum Major: Nathan Chiang - Switch them and I'd be happier. I just can't see Mike Nichols leading us. Let's hope he doesn't rush the tempo of our actual show x_x
Woodwind: Ziyad; Assistant: Deena - What I expected, pretty much. Heh. I was standing next to Deena when we found out the positions, and I found her reaction to Zi being the lietendant amusing.
Brass: Ben Yip; Assistant: Jonathan Bonilla - Fine with this. Except... well... Jonathan was pretty good in the drum major auditions, but I can't really see him leading people either. But we shall see.
Pit: Carol Chen - ...er... I don't really... know anything about pit. But I think this was expected? And good? Yeah.
Drumline: Patrick Chen - Uh... again... don't know much about drumline or if this is good or bad.

So that's that. I'm actually pretty satisfied with this. It'd be better if Nathan was drum major, though. Eh, whatever.

Group test in Geometry I think I got 100% on. Woosh. Whoa, this time Charles and Alex Choi grabbed me to be in their group before we even got into the room O_o They wanted Michele Wong as well, but she was late, and so they grabbed... somebody who's name is pronounced Yoo-skay, but I have no idea how to spell that. So yeah. Heh, I made one or two mistakes [such as adding 1969 and 2300 and getting 2200]. But I actually knew a lot of the stuff. I hope the individual test is the same difficulty [or easier!] than the group test. Confident about it, though, which is good.

Map test was easy. Unsure of one answer. Worse comes to worse, I get a 98. Big whoop.

Sub in science! Sub in science! [celebrates] Watched a movie about the big bang. It was actually rather interesting. Got newspapers at the end of class. There's a list of where all the seniors are going to school next year. Made me kind of sad for two reasons: the first, awwww seniors are leaving. I'm not really friends with any seniors, but still... our band'll be different. Awwww. And second reason it made me sad: there were a lot of people going to OCC. That scares me. I'd rather not go to OCC, thank you very much x_x Ah. It made me all nervous. My... nervousness about college keeps fluctuating. Like I'll be nervous about getting into a college, then I'll become unnervous for whatever reason and be all "Oh I'll be ok, I should be accepted somewhere relatively good," and then I'll be all "..I'm going to end up going to UCI, aren't I? And that's if I'm LUCKY. Ah." So yeah. Mm.

Band put me in a not so good mood. Eh. They keep telling Justin to play out on certain parts, where I have the exact same part as him. And whenever there is a part like that too, she'll sometimes be like "I didn't hear such and so line!" when I played it like forte x_x Whatever. Lord of the Rings fucking sucked. The other two were all right, but LOTR... we're going to crash and burn on. Ah, it's her own fucking fault for not realizing our concert is in less than 2 weeks. Whatever. And she yelled at Galaxy too much at the end when it wasn't her fault and blah x_x

Lunch was dead.

French was actually good. Had a sub, so no vocab quiz. Watched a movie. It was really sad, it was about this man with down's syndrome and this other guy who like was a complete workaholic and was divorced and all and they like... crossed paths. I can't explain. It was really sad though. What I found awful, though was like... the man with down's syndrome would like... do something... like odd, I guess. ANd they'd fucking laugh. Or like... the man with down's syndrome [ah I'm calling him by his name now: Georges. The other man, the workaholic, is Harry], Georges, he like... kissed Harry on the cheek because er... well Harry abandoned him in the middle of nowhere because he was getting fed up but it started raining and he felt guilty so he went back and Georges was all "You like me!" and kissed him on the cheek. It was sweet, and not because I found it slashy or whatever. Really, it wasn't about that. But people in our class were like "OOOH!!!" ;laksdjflkj DUDE WTF SHUT THE FUCK UP AHHHH. The guy has down's syndrome, his mind doesn't work like yours! ;alksfj he doesn't know askdjf;ljk ahhhh. It's just al;kjsdflkj ahhhhhh. I was really pissed off that they giggling and being all ridiculous about that. God. Stfu. Oh and Georges slept in the bed Harry had for his daughters when they visited him [they lived with their mom], and he like reached for Harry's hand for comfort, and again they were all "!!WHOOOAAAA!!!!!!" alksjfdl WTF AHHHHHHHHHHH [kills] Good lord. I could really laugh at the movie because it was just really sad. I liked it though. I'd like to finish it. We probably won't, though. Bleh.

Yeah then after school was the leadership postage. Mm. Ok, that's it.

Hm. In order since last night:

Whoa, Soan is aaaawesome. She showed me where to download a full version of Lemonade Tycoon! Yessss! I didn't play it last night since I was fucking addicted to Superstar, but I'm going to play after blogging, then eat dinner, then do the little homework that I have [er pretty much all I have is to study for my group test since I know nothing at all this chapter, and to do my map and study for the quiz on it tomorrow], and then play Superstar. Woosh. Now all I need is full version of TV Manager and Superstar. But Superstar I could live without the full version, at least for now.

Had a dream last night. It amused me. Me and Tiffany were standing outside like this building... it looked official, and it might've been a library. Anyways there was this stand for Made clothing [Benji and Joel's clothing company]. And Benji was standing in front of it with a sweatshirt and hood on so people wouldn't know he was there. I noticed this and pointed to him and was all to Tiffany, "Look! It's Benji!" And then he saw me see him and he like put his index finger to his mouth and was all "Shhh," and we went over there and he told us not to tell anyone he was there because he didn't want huge crowds swarming around him. Then somehow we started talking about the Killers [I think that's because they talked/played the Killers on KROQ while I was sleeping and I was like semi-awake] and I was all "Yeah, I really like them!" and Benji was all "Yeah, they're cool." Then there were two laptops on the table with the Made merch and me and Tiffany went on them and I don't remember where we went, only that there were a lot of links and it was a blank screen. And... that was it. Yay!

Psh. My mom thought I had brought my bass clarinet home, and when I have the bass clarinet, she drives me down to Lulu's house and I walk from there. But I didn't have it and when I don't have it, I walk. I leave the house to walk 10 minutes earlier than I leave to drive. So it was 5 minutes past the time I leave and I found my mom getting dressed and I was all "Dude! It's 5 minutes past when we go!" and she was all "But you have your bass clarinet" and I was all "NO I DON'T!" and she was all "...oh... really?" I was all "grrrr" and she was all "fine, I'll drive you anyways." So yeah. Really it ended up good for me 'cause I didn't have to walk, but still. Gr.

English Powerpoint... eck. Ran out of time. But I finished all the slides. I just didn't have time to do the transitions or proof it. Whatever. SHe'll be all "Ooh! Shiny!" and give me an A, so I don't care.

er... Person: [asks some science/astronomy related question in the middle of an astronomy lecture]
Mrs. Hufferpuffer: I don't know, I don't teach it.

I like... how she's saying she doesn't teach astronomy... in the middle of an astronomy lecture. Nice.

It was really, really hard not to cheer when Mrs. Hefferpuffer told us she wouldn't be in class tomorrow. I think I might have grinned, though.

My French teacher is like my science teacher:

William [er, I think he's who asked it]: Will the verbs be in English or in French on the final?
Teacher: [nods] Yes.

Heh. Nice. Erm, French test wasn't too bad, considering I didn't know anything, but there were a few I had diffifculty on. No listening comprehension! Woohoo! AND THERE'LL BE NONE ON THE FINAL! YESSS! Yeah I probably got an A/B. That's not bad.

Heeeeeeeee. My French teacher had this sign in the corner of the room. It said "Specialité de pain francais" which means special French bread, basically. In the corner it said baguettes and there was a picture of some baguettes. I almost started laughing really hard.

That's it? That's it. Off to play games. Woosh.

Dude. *_* Superstar is the most fucking addicting game ever. Ahhh.

Yeah, I searched for "free online simulation games" yesterday and today because I've been bored. Superstar is aaawesomely cool. Ahhh. And ooh found TV Manager which is really cool, and Lemonade Tycoon. But they're all demos, so I don't have access to nearly all the cool stuff. Like Lemonade Tycoon, I only had 60 minutes [real time] total to play with it! Ah! Yeah, already ran out of that. And TV Manger.. it only allows you seven days in the game. So you can't get far. I really want to buy that one, it's only like $15. lkfj and Superstar oh god ahhh. It lets me do the most of them all, but there's so much more I could get, and for the low price of $6! Eh, I don't know. I might ask my mom about it. But I'd have to buy it online. Mm.

I've wasted so much time playing Superstar x_x Gah. [shame] I'm not preparing for my TKAM powerpoint that we're doing tomorrow. Well, dude, I KNOW the book. I prepared for most of it in Geometry because I had like... an extra 45 minutes. And I only opened the book twice, to look for quotes, and I knew where the quotes were. All I have left is the last theme and literary device [I'm doing idioms]. I don't really need to prepare. Then I have pg. 16-17 for science. But dude. Well ok, I could've done it from lunch to... now. But the sun's setting so I don't want to do it NOW. I'll just do it in office hours tomorrow. And if there's no sun... then I'll try to BS it. It's not too hard, there's actually not much left to do on it. And then all I have otherwise is a french test, and I can study for that during lunch. See, I'm sure many would have you believe lunch is for eating and taking a break from work, but in all actuality, it was created so I could study for French tests.

...yeah ok. [back to Superstar]

Hm. Not so bad day. A bit boring for a lot of it, but the afternoon wasn't bad. Actually... lunch on wasn't too bad. Hm.

Heh. We're studying South Africa now in Global, which is my country for the ambassador project. I like how I know, like, nothing he asked me. Yet I'll still manage to get an A on the project. Nice. The ambassador project sucks because it's so fucking tedious and such, but it's not really that difficult.

Played the Star Spangled Banner 18 times [played it twice before the auditions, so yeah, total of 18, but 16 for auditions] this afternoon! The drum major auditions were going on. 8 people, two shots each. Er, I'm going to comment on them each, because I really don't want to do my hw right now, and this is a good way to procrastinate. ...er... I don't think I remember the order exactly... so this is just... yeah. Hopefully their all in there.

Mike Tseng: Second time better than first. I forget if he started us off all right the first time. Wasn't too bad.

Nathan: He did well both times I thought, second better. He was one of the few that could actually start us off all together. He did dynamics the second time, didn't he? I'm not sure. I voted him for first choice. I thought he had good presence as well.

Celeste: er... she started us off poorly. Her cut offs and start agains after fermatas weren't too great either. Eh. Wasn't very impressed with her. And... wtf was up with the first time? She like stopped us after a few measures and explained that we'd gotten how to start different than she meant, but then... we started more together the first time than the second, I thought! Ah. Whatever. Yeah... she wasn't that great. I mean, she wasn't bad. I just... did like her as much. The starts and cut offs really bugged me.

Meggie: She looked like she was about to faint up there. Didn't start us off well, but... well no one really did. Eh. She wasn't too bad. I just really can't picture her leading anyone.

Ziyad: I think he was one of the more... official ones. He did the horns up, and at the end did the horns down. And he did the marcato section at the end well, I thought. Didn't start us off together, though. He wasn't too awful, I think. I could see him making it next year, though, if he tried out again.

Mike Nichols: ...er. I expected him to do the best, just because everyone's been saying he's like... going to be drum major next year. The first time, he rushed a little. And, of course, didn't start us off together. The second... whoa. WHOA. What the hell was that?! o___o My quarter notes were eighth notes! My eighth notes were sixteen notes! ahhhhhhh!! He wasn't bad, but oh my holy saint francis, THE RUSHING. I know he said beforehand he'd be going faster than the other people, but... whoa. Too fast. He seemed really nervous. I felt bad for him, though, because I think he probably wants it most out of all of them. Didn't end up voting for him, though. He'll probably end up getting it anyways.

Ben Yip: Whoa. Did way better than I expected. He started us off together! He did it really well, like two small down beats, and then the large start off. Plus, I liked his expressions. That's the only problem with him, though... I don't think I could take him seriously. Like his end... pose... cracked me up. Ah. But yeah... voted for him second. He just... did it better than Mike Nichols.

Johnny: That how you spell it? Whatever. First time wasn't great, but the second time he was actually pretty good. Started us off together the second time, right? Maybe... I think. And he did dynamics the second time I noticed really well. With the crescendos and everything. So yeah. Better than I thought on the second time, but the first time wasn't good enough to make me consider voting for him.

So that's that. Sorry if you're offended for some reason, though I don't see why you would be O_o Nobody did horribly. My bets on who the drum majors will actually be are Nathan and Mike Nichols, even if he did rush majorly and not start us off right.

All right, so that's that. ...I should really do homework now. Ah, screw it.

Heh. I like how I did 0 math homework and practiced for like... 2 seconds on bass clarinet. Ah, skills. Whatever. I'll finish math in class.

er. klfsfj yeah. wtf is up with my room?!?!? It's like 60 degrees! aslkdfj ahhh! My mom has the air conditioner on at like 10:40 PM when it's not even HOT out! Ah! And my nose is cold x_x

mm. Yeah. That person I ranted about recently bugging me... it's... really really not... fun having her sit behind me in global. Like, we'll have to pass packets up at the end of class, and I wait for her to hand them to me before I pack up my stuff, and she's just freaking sitting there, reading or not paying attention or talking to someone or whatever, so FINALLY after minutes of waiting for her, I bend down to my left to pack up my backpack, and just THEN, at that precise moment, she thrusts the packets right into my eye. AHHHHHHHHHHHH. alksdfjlkjlkj seriously asdflkjlakjsdf gaaaaaah. Yeah, and I read your blog, Tiffany, and yeah... apparantely she's been bugging her too recently. Dude I've noticed that she's been falling you and Danny particularly a lot recently. Like for the past... week or so. It's kind of... weird. Or like, once I think last week, I looked over and you two were hugging or whatever, and she was just... standing there. It was... weird. O_o asl;kjf ah I try to have sympathy for her. I really do. But she just pisses the hell out of me. alkdjflkjkjf For some reason at the beginning of English she'll either like... "forget" where she sits somehow and sit next to me [in Emma's seat] for a moment before realizing DUH she doesn't sit there :) or she'll like... start pulling her desk back. wtf? ah. Plus, I've been in a really crappy mood since like... last Monday really, but Friday was when I really started feeling awful, so I have incredibly low tolerance for her these days. Sigh. I can't wait till school's out.

al;skjdfkljgkj YESSSSSSSSS. WONDERFALLS ON DVD!!!!!! ASLD;FKJKLAJ WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!! Sometime Christmas/holiday season? Niiiice. Blah, too many DVDs to save up for. DC S3 in... June, actually, I think [that fucking rocks like whoa] or possibly July? Soon. I remember June 29 for some reason so... yeah. Then The O.C. Season 1 in... September/Octoberish. Er Buffy season 6 is out now but... don't think I'm going to get it immediately. Eventually, yes, but I'd rather have seasons 1 and 4 [which are already out] and Angel season 3 [which is also out] than Buffy S6. So yeah. Er yeah, then Wonderfalls around Christmas! OOH maybe I wouldn't have to save up for it, I could just ask for it for a Christmas/birthday present! YES. Ahhhhhh. I'm so happy about this, you have no idea. I mean, I've read the episodes up to... 11, I believe. And there's... 13. I've not read either 1 or 2 episodes [the numbering and crap is off on it and I'm not sure if they counted the Pilot as 1.] yet and.... I really want to know how the season ends! Ok, so I have seen up to Lovesick Ass, the one I wanted to see so badly [downloaded it from Bittorrent as a torrent file. Ah. <3] but stiiilll. Besides, I left off kind of cliffhanger-y and with the feeling that Eric was going to New Jersey with Heidi, and that made me very sad, and I'd be a lot happier if the season did not end that way. So, yeah.

Ok, onto today:

Er, Rosa is really really not subtle in the slightest.

Soan has the chickenpox! Awww that's sad. Chickenpox are quite annoying. Psh, had them when I was like... 3-4, though. So yay. ...yeah. We missed her in band. Especially since on this one part, it's like... me, her, and then the... er mallets and my bass clarinet stopped working randomly during class and so I couldn't play and obviously she wasn't there, so... yeah. But then it started randomly working again.

Dude. I like how on Amber [or possibly Rashi]'s binder, like... ok there are all these pictures of Benji and Joel on it, right? I like how one of them is this manipulated image of Benji and Joel together from this like twincest community [er not that I go to twincest communities; don't like twincest, really. I think it was also posted at a LJ community I do go to, though--slashypunkboys, I think]. Heh. I bet she just found it randomly and has no idea what the intention of the picture was, but that just cracked me up when I saw it.

Ah ok, practice bass clarinet tonight. Preparing for auditions in like 2 weeks. And I still have some math hw [although he said we didn't have to finish it, we just had to finish it by the end of class tomorrow, so I'm only going to do a few more problems]. But other than that... nothing. Nice. This week is going to be quite... bland. But that's a lot better than 97294852iup98739083 projects due. So I'm not comlaining.

She made me go anyways. as;ldkfjlkj

Me: I've had a really horrid headache all day and I took two Ibuprofen which helped, but my head still hurts and... playing clarinet is only going to make it worse.
Her: You should lie down before we go. [this is 2 minutes before we have to leave, btw]
Me: Er, I don't think two minutes of lying down is really going to help.
Her: You should lie down.
Me: ... [ignores] I really don't think going to clarinet is the best idea right now. I mean, I already took two Ibuprofen...
Her: They take about 45 minutes to kick in.
Me: I took them an hour and a half ago.
Her: Take two more!

aksdj; wtf?! dude on the fucking label it says for people 12 and over to take ONE every 4-6 hours, and if it's still hurting after an hour or so, to take another. I took two. And she's encouraging me to take two more! I think my mom's trying to get me drugged...

Yeah. I just kind of gave up at that point. Plus, then she told me that I'd be missing the next three lessons since next week is Memorial Day [er, clarinet lessons are not like... school. I could still have a lesson O_o whatever, I'm not about to argue], the week after we have the spring concert, and the week after that we play at graduation. At the lesson he said he wanted to try to fit one in some day between now and the next lesson x_x This coming from the guy that says I can't change my lesson to any other time from 6:30 PM on Mondays. What. Ever.

Oh. Dude. I like Tiffany's mom's logic. You see, all the druggies hang out the spectrum according to her [psh, they hang out at Del Taco, not the spectrum!], so instead of letting her go every Saturday, she only goes every OTHER Saturday. Because it's all right if Tiffany's getting high every OTHER weekend, so long as it's not EVERY weekend. Because that would be bad, but every other weekend? Nah! Or maybe, she thinks that the druggies only go to spectrum every other weekend? ..and... apparantely she knows which weekends those are? er... yeah. Nice logic, there. I'd tell Tiffany to point that out to her mom, but I think that might just end with her mom saying "Oh, ok then. You'll just not go to the spectrum at all!" And, that'd be bad. So, no.

Mm. All left for homework is biblography for ambassador project. I'll do that in like... an hour. It'll take what, 5 minutes? Yeah.

Holy fuck my head hurts. Being home somehow only caused the ouchness to increase. Bah. I took two Ibuprofen [er, basically Advil, except it tastes like crap] and that helped a little, but it still hurts. And I feel like I'm going to vomit. I'm going to see if I can convince my mom to let me stay home and rest instead of going to my clarinet lesson, but she'll probably think I'm faking or make me go anyways. bah. aslkfdjk I seriously feel horrible though x_x

Head. Ache. Ouch x_x ah it formed... er. I don't know when. All I know is I had it in science. I might've had it in global, I don't remember. gah. stupid hurting head.

Er, did anything noteworthy happen today? Not really. This week is actually kind of blah. The biggest thing happening this week is the stupid TKAM power point [I'd almost rather do an essay x_x] which I have to prepare for Wednesday night. Other than that, this week is actually kind of light. Next weekend will be worse. Travel brochure for ambassador project. Gah. But no school Monday! Woohoo! So I have all weekend to do the brochure, plus Monday! Nice.

eck. Realized today that two weeks from Wednesday is auditions for wind ensemble x_x I think there's a good chance I will make it, but not if I don't practice. a;lskdfj and the stupid bass clarinet. It's like... ah. The low notes don't always come out if I place it in the wrong... place... and the high like... F# [not the high high one, just the one above the register] and G squeak a lot. ;alksdjflkj Hm. Maybe I could buy a good nice working bass clarinet before the audition? Or, maybe I'm just doing something horribly wrong and I'll sound horrible on every bass clarinet. laksjdflkj ack.

School needs to be over because it's stressing me out too much. aklsdjf;lk

Clarinet lesson tonight. ahhhhhh. Seriously, what's the point of them anymore? All they accomplish is wasting an hour and a half of my night. ahhhhh.

Sunday's go by fast. Well, perhaps it's because on Sunday's, I don't wake up until 11. Whereas, Saturday's I wake at 8:30 and all the rest at 6:20. I guess that's it. Psh. Still, the afternoon's go pretty damn fast. One minute, I'm waking up, the next, I'm eating dinner. Or, at least, it's 4, and I still haven't started my homework.

mm. I still need to practice clarinet for my lesson tomorrow. Well, at least nothing major is due for ambassador project Tuesday, just the bibliography of all the sources. Eh. I don't think I saved most of my works cited. Guess I'll just have to BS some sites. Whatever. Like he'll check.

Next Tuesday is the brochure, though. Eh. Going to try to do that the weekend before, but I don't know if I'll be able to follow through with that. Math project I think... 2 weeks from tomorrow? I'll probably do it all the weekend before it's due. Oh well. Whatever.

What is it, like, three weeks, finals, and then school is out? Nice.

Bah. Apparantely the tickets for Motion City Soundtrack June 17 are sold out. Stupid non-response from my mom. I did ask her. It's not my fault. She just remarked that I hadn't paid off the other tickets yet, and I was all "Yeah, ok, so can I go?" and she didn't say anything else. Psh. Whatever. See them some other time.

Uh, yeah. This is all really pointless, but I'm bored, so... yeah. Even though I still have to practice clarinet. Whatever, I actually practiced last Tuesday. So it's not completely necessary for me to practice. But I will, since all I have for homework is math [which I finished] and the season finale of Charmed was last week, so no new Charmed's for awhile.

Ah today was good.

Spectrumming. Got new Taking Back Sunday shirt and I got the new Fall Out Boy CD [which comes with a DVD]. Niiice. It was fun. Don't really remember everything, except that Tiffany and Annie insulted me a lot, and then we tried to make ourselves cry for like, an hour. Heh.

Banquet. Better than I thought. The slideshow made me miss marching band. I hate when stuff like that makes me miss stuff, since when I'm going through it, it's not so fun. The only part I really miss of marching band is Las Vegas. Bah. But it was still cool, though I disagree with... er... some of the awards. Oustanding Wind Ensemble: should've been Emma and Andrew. Most Improved Concert Band: should've been Justin. At least, not who it actually was. Whatever. I laughed a lot, so it was all right.

After the band banquet, people suddenly started talking about going to Emma's house or something. And... so I wanted to go too, since... all I'd do otherwise is go home and be bored. So yeah. Included myself in that, and went to Emma's with Jackie and Emma. Then Nathan came with Andrew and Justin, and later Richard, Soan, and Galaxy came. Jackie left at like... er... 10ish? Psh. Too quickly to say goodbye, though reading her blog, apparantely she wasn't having too much fun, so I understand why she might want to leave quickly. Er, but yeah. It was fun for me. Oh, I don't remember the exact quote, but the part... Soan was talking about Africa and having Richard buy it for her, and then she was all "I'll just wait til they all die and then I can rebuild it" or whatever and Emma was all "I don't think it works that way" but Soan was going to kill them all off, or something, and someone said something about that being bad? or something? gah don't remember exactly. And Soan was all "Ah, they already have crappy lives anyways," or something. baaah can't remember now. But I remember it being quite amusing. Ah, I also noticed that in... ok we were watching Minority Report. And. er. Tom Cruise's character was all "She's a precog" and the guy was all "hahahahahhahaha NO." and then there was this deep, meaningful look, and then all of the sudden the guy was all "omg that was a serious look! he must be telling the truth!" and suddenly believed him. That amused me a lot. I like how he couldn't have been lying, it must be true, just because of this deep, meaningful, serious look. Nice.

I left before everyone [er, besides Jackie, of course]. Bah. Would've been nice to stay longer, but oh well. It was still fun.

Oh. DUDE. TVGuide.com lists "I Will Remember You" as airing today at 5. I thought I missed that episode! Woosh, I'm so watching it. Er, even though I have it on DVD and can watch it whenever the fuck I want. Well. Shut up. It's somehow cooler on TV. Like, like, when there's this song you like a lottt and you have it on CD and have listened to it 91872098124 times, and they play it on the radio once... it's all of a sudden WHOA, you know? Shut up. I know what I'm talking about.

So, that's lifted my spirits a bit. Looking forward to... 5:00 PM, which is in like... 13 min according to my computer clock. Still feel like crap though. I've felt like I had to barf a lot today, but I don't think I'm sick or I really have to. I just... haven't felt good. I don't know. Here's hoping that my favorite season 1 Angel episode that makes me cry everytime at the end will make me happier :)

Yes. Somehow, incredibly depressing TV episodes make me happy. Like Becoming Part 2! Yay! I was actually considering watching that because I'm bored as hell and don't feel like moping around in my room.

Oh, something I wanted to mention in French. Ok, so we were watching a video. And this guy in the video shot a pig three times, and obviously, it died. This girl behind me was all "OMG I'm never eating pork again!"

...wtf? How did you think we got pork before?! They just took already dead pigs?! aslfkj and wtf only pork?! What, pigs are killed, but not cows? Not chickens? Eh, who cares about them! Let's only not eat pigs! Because it's not like any other animals ever get shot!

She'll stick to that no-pork thing for like, a day.

Yeah. That pissed me off. I mean, I'm not a vegitarian, but I KNOW how we get meat. I'd care, but if I became a vegitarian, I'd have like... nothing to eat. I'm a very picky eater. Plus, my mom would yell at me, and she prepares me food so I'd have to tell her. So yeah. Plus, I like hamburgers and chicken too much. [shrug] Sorry. But hey. I know where the fuck it comes from. Good lord. NOT A REAL PIG ANYWAYS. A PIG DID NOT ACTUALLY DIE FOR THE MOVIE! as;dlfkj stupid idiots

ok done now. 8 minutes x_x I'm downloading the fourth episode of The O.C. [already dled and watched 1-3], so hopefully that'll be done when I get back. It's like 99% right now. 453,856 out of 455,593. Gah. Right now it's queued. Psh. Ares owns Kazaa's ass, btw. :) alskjf no pop-ups. Doesn't kill my computer. And the people suing people using filesharing crap [aka Kazaa] haven't quite found it yet. Woosh.

Ok, really done now. And like, only 5 minutes, except I think my computer clock is slow, so it's like... 2 minutes. So I'm going to go now and hope TVGuide.com doesn't lie to me.

Felt kind of crappy all day. Don't know why. Still feel kind of crappy. Tomorrow should be good, though.

There's... really nothing to say about today. It was just blah. Nothing interesting happened.

Can't wait till school's out x_x

Oh, I forgot to mention this before. Soan and Emma are my heroes. Because of them, my science hw time is cut in half. Or less. asl;kdfj you know what? Screw her [er, her being hefferpuffer]. Not everyone has excel, and you can't expect everyone to be able to do it if you don't allow time in class to complete it. So yeah. Fuck you, hefferpuffer. And if you accuse me of plagarizing, I'll hit you. ...well, no, I don't want to be suspended. But I'll be quite angry.

Still have the other science thing to do. Still need to study for global map quiz [I think I kind of know some stuff though... kind of...]. Still have to finish math. BUT HA. I'VE ALREADY FINISHED TKAM! [celebrates] Course, it'll be on really random, specific stuff and I'll end up getting a C, even though I read and really like the book. Sigh. Oh well.

Dude. So. Not as bad a day as I thought.

But. Dude. We had this worksheet in science, right? And there were two blanks, one saying "Original universe model" and the other saying "modernized universe model." One answer was geocentric, the other heliocentric. Obviously, the first is geocentric. So she had someone read through the answers, and so they said the right answer. But then our science teacher was all "No no, it's heliocentric." Dude. EVERYONE in our class was all "IT'S GEOCENTRIC!" but she was all "...er... it's heliocentric... you know, the one with the earth in the center of the universe?" gaaaaaah. It was really funny, but god she's an idiot. She spent the last 5 min of class trying to figure it out.

Festival was way better than I thought.

Clarinet Ensemble: We did pretty good. We didn't play the song that we're not as good on [better song though], so we ended up getting a superior. Nice.

Solo: I didn't think I did very well. And the solo sounded really bad with the piano. But I got a superior, so yay. Heh. I like how she pointed out at this one piano [er, not the instrument, the... non-forte one] part how I got really soft and it was good. Actually, I got really soft because that note would never come out, and I didn't want her to notice. And she didn't. Niiice. And the part I usually squeaked on, I didn't, so yay.

Duet: Got the other judge for this. We definitely didn't play our best. I didn't even play the first note of the first song. And... I missed a few notes elsewhere too. Eh. He was positive and really nice, though. Got an excellent, but we definitely deserved it more than a superior, so it was good.

Heee. Dance showcase was going on during festival. I saw Brandon twice. And dude, one of the times it was pretty close up... so I think I can recognize him now! Yay! Heh. And he had no shirt on the time I saw him closer x_x wtf not a teenie ahhh shut up.

Er. Tomorrow should be over. I'm really looking forward to spectrum [eee new CDs! I want to get the Taking Back Sunday shirt they have there if I have enough money too. Heh. I'm so blowing all my money there. That's ok, because like two times ago, I ended up with like... $3, and now I'll have roughly $100. Nice. So I have enough to buy it all. Then I'll just have to save up for good CDs coming out in June [THE KILLERS! WOOSH! And new TBS in July! Yesssss.] Also looking forward to band banquet. I won't win any awards or anything, but it should be fun anyways. Annie's going [glares at Annie if she disagrees]

That's it, I believe.

[Angel Series Finale]"WTF JOSS YOU CALL THAT AN ENDING!?!??!?!?!"

Yeah. That was my reaction a month ago when I read the spoilers for this episode. And I was still like that going into the episode. But--

eh, I'll get to that in a moment.

Ok, dude, first of all. Why Lindsey?!!? Why'd Lorne have to kill him?! Lindsey's so freaking pretty! I think it's a law that shows must kill off the prettiest person in the season finale this year x_x First Chris, and now Lindsey?! Agh!

Ok, so I've known about this too for a month. But stilll.

Before I go to his death. Dude. The slash between Angel and Lindsey freaking writes itself. When they had their scene together, I was thinking "Oh he so wants to make out with him right now" and like... making up lines for them involving mostly "You" [in terms of, "What do you want?"], "I love you", "I want you", and such. But then. Dude. DUDE.

Angel: [to Lindsey] I want you.

Heeeeee. I love that they addressed how that sounded too. "Er, can I rephrase that?" "It'd make me a lot more comfortable if you did." But still. Heee. I'm sad that they didn't get to make out before Linsey was killed. Well, dude, dead people come back all the time. And Angel's dead himself. So I think there's still time left for him to make out with Angel.

I thought the death was done really well. Angel gets Lindsey to do what he wants, and then has Lorne shoot him. And it was really subtle. Like one second, they're talking, the next, Lorne's pulled out a gun and shot him. It was done right, and so much better than most "person has a gun and shoots someone" scenes. He didn't dawdle. He didn't even give you time to figure out what was happening. It was [flash] then [boom boom] then oh look! Lindsey has some red holes in his chest! No dramatic music. No suspense. It just happened. And that made it so much more shocking then if they'd built up to it. Yet, at the same time, if you closely watched Lorne, or if you knew what'd happen... he sort of... alluded to it. And it just worked. So that's part of the reason that I'm not completely upset about this.

Wesley's death. Knew it, again, but it was good. I'm glad he got to deliver one last shot at the... red dude. I really loved the Fred/Wes scene, how Illyria [I can't spell that] "lied" to him. Nice foreshadowing in the beginning. "I don't plan on dying, so I don't need to be lied to, because I know the truth and I know what reality is." [incredible paraphrasing there]. Then, he's dying, and he can pretend for the last seconds. It was sweet. I thought it was kind of odd that Fred was grinning throughout it, though. I mean, I get like... "Hey, we can be together now" and it was really Illyria, but... it was kind of weird. Still, she had tears, and it was all good.

Gunn's death. Lurved the continuity with Anne. It was nice he got to see her one last time. I thought for sure when he came down the alley, he'd be turned, since I already knew he was going to die and... it just made sense. But I like it better like this. I wouldn't want him to have to be dusted. It was just... good? I don't know. Yes. It was good.

Spike. Heeeeeee.
Angel: One of you is going to betray me.
[Spike raises hand excitedly]
Perfect. Didn't bug at all during the episode, which is good. I loooved the continuity with that bloody awful poem. Heeeee. Effulgent. Spike rocked. And... I didn't think I'd ever say that of post-season 4 Spike.

Connor. YES. I am sooo happy he was in the finale. I love that he addressed the fact that he knew Angel was his father. I loved how abrupt it was. One second they were talking of one thing, the next, "I know you're my father." It was so quick, I was like "wait, did he say what I thought he said?" It was good. I love this new Connor, so much better than bratty!orbitter!Connor. I like that he still remembers the past, but knows what Angel did for him. And is grateful. I loved the father/son moments through this, and I especially loved Connor helping him out in the end. And then. "As long as you're not hurt, they can't get to me." Massively paraphrasing because dude, I didn't memorize this episode, and I saw it roughly 40 minutes ago, but yeah. That was sweet. I smiled a lot at that. I think they're relationship really came... full circle. I was pleased with how they ended things between them.

er. Who else is there?

Continuity! Ahhh it reared its lovely head. Doyle, Cordy, effulgent/William the Bloody's bloody poetry, the werewolf, Anne!, kfjklajf just... the reminders. Awesome. Loved it. Oh! Watcher! Wesley said something about being a Watcher! alskdfj yeah that was with the whole earlier "I know reality can't hide from the truth yadda yadda" thing. I grinned when they mentioned that, because dude, I'd almost forgotten he was. It was great.

This episode was put together beautifully. I loved the third act, at the end, where they showed the tasks each had been set on. Then in the fourth, I loved how it showed the... end/middle/battle part of their tasks. It flowed nicely and fit together wonderfully. Perfect.

Ah. And finally. The End. I thought this was actually done all right. I was pissed at first when I heard about this cliffhanger. But... I like it now. You just... have to listen to what Angel says. "Let's go to work." And... "We fight." That's what the show's been about: Angel fighting. It doesn't matter if he wins or loses. His [un]life has just been this huge battle, and he's still fighting. And that's what counts.

Oh, oh! The semi-montage! [snort "Thanks from the WB"?!? THANKS?! You fucking cancelled the show, you morons! AH. You want to thank us? PUT IT BACK ON. Ok, I actually don't care that much, but still] Dude. I loooove that they included a clip of B/A kissing in I Will Remember You. Aaaaaand a clip of Cordy and Doyle sitting next to each other. Yay! Doyle! The montage made me smile.

Lastly. One thing I did dislike, is that all the mortals died and only the supernatural beings survived. But it was sort of nice, when Wesley was confronting Red!Guy, how the guy was all something like "Did you really think a mortal could do this?" or this was a job for a mortal or something. And it's not. The finale... emphasized that for me. Connor, who is probably most mortal of all of them [but dude, son of 2 vampires; he ain't normal], was sent away by Angel from the final battle. And the rest of the humans were dead. It wasn't their fight. So... actually, now I'm kind of liking that.

So yeah. Great finale, better than I thought, and loads better than the Buffy finale. I do want closure, though, and I reeeally hope Joss puts out those TV-movies he promised. [/Angel Series Finale]

Woosh I got a 71/75 on my math test! And I did end up getting the extra credit right! Yes! alskfj dude but on this one problem... stupidest mistake ever x_x There was like... a box and I divided it into half and then the other half into 2 quarters, right? But when I was done dividing and went back to the first part, I somehow saw it as thirds, not a half and two quarters. gah. so my answer was off on that. If I'd not done that stupid mistake, I would have like... 76/76. Sigh.

Most boring office hours ever. For most of the time I was abandoned in the 300's. I reread the end of TKAM and listened to my Brand New CD, "Deja Entendu" [DIE YOUNG AND SAVE YOURSELF]. Sometime during that Michelle Lee and Connie were sitting next to me but I just kept my headphones on since I didn't really want to get into a discussion with Connie about anything.

Whoa, I think Galaxy and I actually did sound better today when we played our duets. At least, Allegro Scherzando. Heh, I haven't practiced that since the last time we played for her, last week or so. Nice. I just need to get my triplets down in Bouree [which I've pretty much done, really], and I should be fine for my duets tomorrow. Solo... eh. Not too confident about that, since I didn't get the extra practice with the pianist, and there were one or two parts I got kind of off when playing with her. Hope I have a chance to practice it before performing. Clarinet ensemble, not so worried about. I've got my part fine.

Er. I don't want to do solo and ensemble festival anymore, though x_x It snuck up on me really fast. Bleh. Don't even know what to wear. I either have casual clothes, or dressy clothes. There is no median [..is that the right word? whatever] I'll probably just wear my concert clothes: black skirt, black shirt. Maybe I'll wear that casual-er light blue shirt I got for like... promotion last year, I think. Eh. Same problem with the band banquet Saturday. She's all "don't just go in your jeans and everyday clothes, but you odn't have to dress up" but... I don't have anything else! klfj and I'm not wearing a skirt to that x_x Why do we have to look nice? I think that's just going under false pretenses for those of us who never look nice x_x Or something that's more convincing than what I just said. Sigh. Maybe I could buy something at spectrum before we go, then come home and change, and go there? Eh. Rather not do that x_x

er. These two guys, when I was walking home... like at the corner, before you cross the street. This one had these huge posters, and they showed aborted babies [the ones that had gone wrong, though they didn't mention that anywhere on the posters (glare)] and at the topit said "This is a choice." and at the bottom "Abortion." aklsdfjlk wtf that pissed me off. The other guy was handing out pamphlets about it. He tried to hand me one, but I just glared at him and said "No thanks." Though he probably just thought I was already incredibly pro-life and I didn't need a pamphlet to tell me otherwise. a;lskj gaaaaah. I hate how... one-sided it all was. Not even mentioning the few cases that an abortion may be the best option. Honestly, I wouldn't be angry if the people were pro-choice rather than pro-life, but I'd still find it unfair. They should present both sides. Or... something more than that. It was just all so one-sided and pissed me off. Dude, ok, I don't support abortion as a form of birth control, but... if someone was raped, I couldn't possibly force them to keep a baby of a man that raped them for nine freaking months. Yes, adoptions always the best option, but I don't feel victims of rape should have to carry the child full term and give them away. And plus, if the girl was a teenager... it's not exactly easy to have a kid, even if you put it up for adoption. She'd have to go through ridicule and judgement for nine freaking months, and be constantly reminded of a guy who fucking raped her. It's just not aslkfj agh. And you know what, kids can be safe, practice safe sex and all, but accidents can still happen. The condom can break. You can get off on the birth control cycle and screw things up. It's not a great chance, but it can happen, and I hate when people use the excuse "Oh well they weren't responsible, so they have to own up for their actions now" in terms of that, because what if they WERE responsible? Ugh. I... have more to say on this all probably, but... I'm tired of this.

It's just... they were presenting it all one-sided, and like their answer was absolutely right and no one else's was, and abortion could never, ever, POSSIBLY be the best option.

But you know what? Abortion wouldn't be such a contraversial issue if one side was absolutely right.

[Gilmore Girls Finale]Dude. Dude. DUDE.

oh. my. god.

alksjflkjalskjf L/L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO KISSES
A;LSKJDFLKJALSKDFJLAKSJFD
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
RECIPROCATED!
A;LSKJDFLKAJSDFKLJALS;KDFJ

but eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. You should've seen me like... after the episode. I was eee-ing like crazy and being all grinny. I didn't stop til like... half an hour had gone, at least. heee. baslkdjflkj gakjiweur omfg aaaaaaaah.

"What are you doing?"
"Will you just stand still?!"

Ahh. Heh. How romantic <333

duuuuuuude. DUDE. I don't care about Rory's adultery crap with Dean [only low point of the episode]. That's totally blocked. alkfjlkj ee. LORELAI/LUKE HOLY CRAP KISSAGE TWICE ASKFJ RECIPROCATED AND GOOD AND HAPPY A;SDLKJFKLAJ

Hate Jason. x_x So afraid he was going to ruin everything.

Have I mentioned? Luke/Lorelai! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ok, this is the finale of season 4. I've been waiting for this since the first episode of season ONE. So i'm allowed this amount of ee-ing.

Oh god, it makes me squeeeeee so much just htinking like... she goes to his diner, like usual, and gets a coffee, and then he just gives her a quick, casual kiss. sigh. <3333 The whole... casualness of it. That's what makes it great. Like, it's no big deal.

I need to find friends that watch Gilmore Girls x_x

but GOD. Best episode all season. Best episode in a loooooonggg time. Psh, and I had given up on GG. Like... by episode 5. And then came back around episode... 15? And then it started getting gooood. eeeeeeee. and good it has gotten.

Oh yeah. One more thing?

LORELAI/LUKE!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE.[/Gilmore Girls Finale]

Ok. I'm sorry. x_x [ashamed of all the eee-ing]. But dude. Dude. Lemme demonstrate what it's like.

Jackie and Annie [and whoever]: It's like Buffy and Angel having this aaaaawesome chemistry the first episode of Buffy and clearly liking each other [much moreso than what it was actually like] but not getting together until the end of season 4, yet still being around each other and having that awesome chemistry all four seasons. Dude. Angel was gone by the beginning of season 4. THAT'S how long it's been.

Tiffany: It's like David and Pierre coming out. Together. And then they're all... togetherish, but not, but you know they're GONNA be together, but they're not, and then they get together after four years and release a DVD just of them making out. Or... something. Fine. It's like David and Pierre coming to your house and making out a lot in front of you. I think you get it.

..er... I don't care about explaining it anymore. Those are my best two examples :)

ok really done this time. Want to make iiiiiiconsss. alksfj there'd be such pretty pretty icons x_x Stupid screencaps aren't up yet. Dude, they might not even be up to Sunday. GAH. They're trying to kill me here. alksdjf sigh

Oh, hey, Annie, btw? You're coming to the band banquet on Saturday at 5, ok? Ok!

Must go to spectrum this Saturday. MUST. New Fall Out Boy acoustic! Not too many songs, but there are some new ones and "Grand Theft Autumn (Where is Your Boy?)" acoustic! Eee! And new NFG is out, and Im' kind of liking what I've heard of their new song. I like the non-chorus bits of er... whatsit? All Downhill From Here. And the one they did for Rock Against Bush, I really like that one. That's on the new CD too.

ok. seriously. really done now.

but eeeeeeeeeeeee

Four hours, thirty minutes.

Individual test in geometry. Wasn't too bad, actually. Although, this time, he gave us the CP test instead of the honors test because only like... 4 or 5 people in our class have A's and that's kind of low, especially compared to last semester. The extra credit was one of those mixture type problems we did in the POWS in algebra last year. gah I wish I'd remembered how to do those. Well, I kind of did, but I think my answer was off. Oh well. I only need a 72, and I have a 100 combined. And I don't think I made any other mistakes.

I actually don't mind English so much right now. I like discussing/reading through TKAM. It's a really good book, man.

Whoa. I was looking on the wall at people's grades in 2nd period at the end of science. This one kid has a 28.8%. You'd have to try really hard at failing to get that kind of score. O_o

Solo and Ensemble festival needs to be over x_x

Someone has been bugging me a lot lately x_x Er, I don't think I should say her name, on the off chance that she finds my blog [though I doubt it, but I'm paranoid]. If you're reading this, there's like... a verrrrry good chance it's not you. Just... think of the person that annoys you most right now [er, that isn't Andrew], and... that's most likely her. gah. She's just so... a;slkfj aaagh. Dude today I was just standing there and she asked me "Do you think height should matter when deciding to go out with someone?" or something stupid like that. So I was all "...er, if two people really like each other, I don't think they're not going to go out with each other just cuz one person is taller." And she was all "Yeah, but it'd be hard to like kiss them and stuff." And I was all "dude... the guy could just bend over and kiss the girl. And it's not like they'll be attached at the lips whenever they're together." But she was all "Oh, but it could be a hassle to have to bend over to kiss them." g;klas dude wtf. "Yes, I'm sure that two people who really like each other and want to go out together are going to not go out together just because it's too much of a hassle for the guy to bend over and kiss the girl." It doesn't sound like much, but god was she being an idiot. And she's just.a.sf;kjlkj aaaaahhh. You know, at the beginning of the year, when she first started hanging out around where we hang out, she was reeally annoying me. But no one else seemed to be bothered by her, so I just... tried to not be annoyed by her. Then I talked ot her a little more and kind of liked her. And then I found out everyone else was really annoyed by her too. Heh. I've been trying really hard to pity her or feel bad for her, just because I know that if I moved somewhere and I didn't know anyone, I'd have a really hard time adjusting and finding friends. But GOD is she annoying. I just can't freaking be sympathetic anymore. And it doesn't help that I sit in front of her in global, and diagonally behind her in english x_x

Done ranting.

Four hours, twenty-two minutes.

[Charmed Finale] Wow. So, for a season of suckage, that surprisingly didn't suck.

Phoebe/Alyssa Milano actually wasn't [gasp] annoying. Well, not as much as usual. Which is saying something.

Awww. Poor, dead, pretty Chris. It should be a law to kill of someone that pretty x_x But he is! I hope they find some way to bring him back next season, if only for a few episodes. He was the only reason besides Holly Marie Combs I stuck around this season. Only storyline that actually interested me this season. Plus, it helped that Drew Fuller stopped sucking after the first few episodes and actually became a pretty damn good actor.

The finale's gotta be the best episode this season, and it's definitely the best finale since All Hell Breaks Loose. Which isn't really saying much, but nothing'll ever beat AHBL. It's just like whoa. I don't think I even cry as much watching Becoming Part 2 as I do watching AHBL. Ah. But that's besides the point. It was still rather good.

The parallel evil world could have been done very poorly, but it was actually done rather well. Although, Gideon kind of seemed in love with himself, and EvilWorld!Gideon was quite creepy.

Don't like baby Chris. Ack I don't like all the babies. Well, there's only 2, but still. And Wyatt's really a toddler by now. BUT STILL. Next season should flash forward like... 10 years. We could see 10 year old Chris and like... 11.5-12 year old Wyatt. That would rock. And they could find a reeeally pretty boy to play Chris! :D

Er. I think it'd be so awesome [and incredibly ironic, which would rock] if while Leo was doing that great, huge, evil act by killing Gideon, Barbas had corrupted Wyatt in some way [ewww not that kind of corrupted--I meant... like, turned him evil]. Oh, and THEN, future!Chris could be all "Damn! Wyatt's evil! You know, my parents told me when I was a kid that future!me came back to the past to fix things... maybe I should go do taht!" So he could come back and try to save Wyatt again, and then we could witness the prettiness that is Drew Fuller again! Yay! Except that would really, really suck, seeing as it'd be exactly like this season, except they'd have a bit more knowledge about everything. But I still want to see Chris again x_x

What else? Darryl's pissing me off. I get the reasoning behind... everything he's doing, but... he's still pissing me off. Like Sheila said, the Halliwell's are family to them, and you just don't turn your back on your family. Gah. Well, at least not on Charmed x_x I think he should leave San Francisco. That's the only way he's going to escape the demonic crap relating to them. Either that, or he should be visited by Andy's ghost! That'd be cool, and then he could be all enlightened and help them again! Yay!

Ok. So, this season sucked. Other than Chris-Crossed and Forget Me Not [which wasn't that great merely because they couldn't provide some excuse for why the Cleaners hadn't shown up when magic was exposed back during AHBL; sure, the writers hadn't come up with them back then, but it would be so easy just to say, based on the very, very close miss with magical exposure, the Cleaners were created to ensure nothing like that ever happened again], the season was boring, the plot moved slowly, and it just sucked. Wasn't as bad as season 4, and... probably equal to the suckitude of season 5, but it generally sucked. However, the season finale kicked all kinds of ass, and it made me hopeful for next season. They have several good storylines they can take from the finale, and it'll be interesting seeing where they go. Provided where they go does not involve stoopid magikal kreatures. Ew. No more leprechauns, ok Kern? Ok.

Of course, knowing Charmed, next season will be worst season in the history of seasons, ever. Ugh. I should know by now to never be hopeful with Charmed; my hopes'll just be let down. Sigh. [/Charmed Finale]

[Gilmore Girls]EEEEEEEEEE TOMORROW NIGHT TOMORROW NIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!! Ah tonight needs to be over and then it needs to be tomorrow night at 8 and then it needs to be Saturday so this week'll be over. I'd want it to be Saturday now, but EEEEE TOMORROW NIGHT TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!!! ah L/L fiiiiinally. Five freaking seasons I've waited. Do you hear me? I've been waiting since the sixth grade! Do not toy with me, ASP, or I will rip your fucking head off. Or, you know, just sit in my room, quietly fuming, but thinking really really mean thoughts towards you. But, sigh. L/L![/Gilmore Girls]

Ok, done with the TV ranting/raving. :) a;lskjdfl;j I really don't want to go to my lesson tonight, damnit. al;skjf there's just no POINT in it. fucking waste of time and money. aaaaaah. Only... one hour and... fifty minutes until it's over.

damn... NFG's new CD comes out tomorrow and on Thursday at 6:00 PM they'll be at a Best Buy somewhere in Irvine, and I was like... thinking of seeing if I could go? But my duet with Galaxy for solo and ensemble is Thursday at 6:00. Craaappp. aksjflkj stupid solo and ensemble festival. I don't even want to do it anymore. I'm sick of the music, I only practiced once with the pianist instead of twice like most people because of my dad's stupid AA meetings and so I didn't have a ride there or back. alksdjflkj gaaaaahhh I'm going to do horribly in the duet and the solo. Who cares about the clarinet ensemble? Blah.

What's the point of me continuing to take clarinet lessons? Seriously. It's so fucking pointless now. And you don't need private lessons for marching season even if I am on clarinet [which probably isn't likely] because nobody can even hear the clarinets when we're on the field anyways. gaaaaaah. It is pointless for me to continue with private lessons. alsfkj;lkjglkj I don't have time to practice, so essentially during the lesson I'm just sightreading everything, and he tells me how wonderful I am. He doesn't even HELP me with anything, he just tells me I'm perfect, even if I fuck up the entire thing. It's a waste of our money and a waste of a 1 1/2 hours every Monday. I still have to do my Ambassador project. fuck. And I'm like grinning and laughing the entire time during my lesson and I feel so FAKE when I get out because my smile instantly drops and I feel like crying. And my mom doesn't understand how much pressure I'm under and how much work I have to do, and so she's justall "oh lahdeedah you'll get it done, and if not, well, you gave it your best shot." Yeah. Your best shot doesn't WORK in real life. AH.

I got a 28/25 on my group test. Nice. I only have to get a 72 on the individual test tomorrow, and I have 100. I can get as low as a 62 on the test [which is a 83%] and still have a 90 combined score. Niiiice. But dude. He was all saying before he passed it out, only one entire group got the extra credit part of this one problem right in the class, and then he was all "Oh, Michelle Hood probably did it for her group." laskf I DIDN'T EVEN DO IT. CHARLES LIN FIGURED THAT ONE OUT. I WORKED ON A DIFFERENT ONE. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. This is really not helping my case in convincing the people in math that I'm not smart.

English teacher asked me to summarize a chapter of TKAM that I read over a week ago that was due to read today, and I got pretty much all of it. I left out a few like smallish details that I didn't think really important to remark upon and she brought them up. But she told me after that I did good on the summary. So I was pleased with myself. The powerpoint for TKAM sounds crappy. I'd almost rather write an essay x_x Only one more essay left this year, it's in like... 3 weeks. Maybe 4? Around there.

In Science:
Melissa: Were there any survivors in that tsunami?
Hufferpuffer: Yeah, a lot of people died.

She's such an idiot.

I wanna go to KROQ Weenie Roast!!! alsdflj The Killers! The other cool bands that I'd want to see playing there are playing at the Warped date, except for Hoobastank. But I don't care about seeing them as much. I'd reeeeeeally like to see the Killers, though! al;skfj I wanna go! Tickets to that are expensive, though. I remember last year looking at the prices for them, and they were around $50. That's like, whoa, money man. And I think I'd rather go to the Motion City Soundtrack show June 18. It's only like $9-10 before additional charges of like... convenience fees and such. Nice. I'd rather not pay $50 to see a bunch of bands I'm already going to see at Warped, some bands I don't really care about seeing, one band that'd be nice to see, and one band I really want to see. I hope the Killers come by with some more shows later this year, though. I want to see them.

er, that's it? Think so. I hate Mondays x_x Why clarinet lessons Mondays? Worst day EVER for lessons. I want to have them like... Thursdays. Or a day that's not today. Like Wednesday! Yeah.
