Am I allowed to stab my jazz band music in the face? ‘Cause I’d really like to. Jesus, that music is going to drive me insane, I know it. I’ve spent this whole night trying to get it perfect, ‘cause I really really wanna make Panther Jazz Band this year. So I have ‘til Tuesday fifth block to make it as good as I can. PRESSURE MUCH?!

These are the songs I’m attempting to play:

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat

La Fiesta

23 Degrees North / 82 Degrees West

I love them all to listen to, and they’re fun to play, but they’re exhausting to learn and are all really fast and complicated (except Pork Pie, that’s pretty chill).

I hate stressing out over music. It ruins the whole fun of it. I just need to do awesome at the audition and I’ll finally be able to relax.

 

Panicky,

The Modern Age

Up on a hill is where this begins, this little story from a long time ago.

I’m writing about madness in English. I think it’s the only time I could talk about the Mad Hatter in an English paper and have it be relevant.

I’m supposed to be doing my lab report now, so I don’t have to worry about it tomorrow, since I’ll be so busy watch my husband SUFJAN playing on stage. I just don’t have it in me to talk about cellular respiration right now, though. Sigh.

I CAN talk about how excited I am for the concert, though. Guess how excited I am, just guess.

I’M SO EXCITED I NEED TO WRITE IN BOTH BOLD AND UNDERLINE.

YEAH.

THAT EXCITED.

It’s going to be ah-maz-ing. I just know it.

Who’s bummed that the epic scramble during the hybrid show is only a backwards walk for drumline? I am. :(

Um, yeah. There are other things on my mind, a lot of things, but talking about them on here would either bore you or I wouldn’t feel comfortable talking about.

So, be happy I posted again! Yay! Happiness! Wooooooo

Lots and lots and lots and lots of love (Oh, Hugh Laurie..),

School.

I feel so conformist, this seems to be all that anyone's talking about today.

I'm bummed summer's over, mainly because I didn't fit in nearly as many things as I'd have liked to. Also, I like sleeping in late.

It's good to be back in band, though. Quints are a heck of a lot funner than the snare drum, if a little heavier. And the songs aren't half bad, either. I thought I'd completely despise Love Drunk, but the arrangement's actually really fun to play. The original song? Yeah, it sucks. But marching band-style? Awesomeness.

...I wanna sleep now. I'm orienting freshmen tomorrow, I'll need my rest. -_-

Timshel.

Life’s so damn complicated sometimes. Or just weird. Like I don’t understand how things can be pointing all in one direction, then suddenly turn another way. You’re so sure that everything is going to happen one way, how could it work any other way? But then life goes and slaps you across the face, making sure you know that it’s in charge, not you.

Not that my life is that dramatic. Maybe East of Eden is starting to get to me.

Sigh.

Sorry I haven’t written in so long. I’d basically forgotten this existed. And I wasn’t sure I’d wanna share what was happening in my life with the entire online world. Not that I think many people read this, especially now.

 

Are you tired? We’ll call it dignified. Well now it all seems to be cut and dried. So I know which way to run. You’re tired, my love, I feel the same. The leaden lung won’t speak my name now.

 

Hear the new Arcade Fire album? It’s brilliant. Soo awesome. Go listen to it. It’s called The Suburbs.

I’m down the shore now. Brigantine, NJ. I hung out with Mickey last week, which was fun. Went to the boardwalk and the beach and watched a bajillion and one James Bond movies. He left Friday, so I’m basically an only child until Tuesday, when Dani comes back from Alabama. She’s been staying with my cousin and her extended family.

So. There’s a post. Enjoy it.

Mr. Ko? Could You Go Die In A Hole? Thanks.

Writing. A science lab. Woohoo. My idea of spending a Thursday night.

I've been reading Brave New World for my independent reading project, and it's AWESOME so far. Little creepy, little strange, but all around very well written and I love the plot and characters.

Props to Soraya for starting a new blog that has more than one post! :D I like yo' writing. And your poem about Gabe. :)

Imma go back to my work now. Enough procrastinating.

Letters From The Sky

I finished that essay. Ish. I had almost finished it, when i accidentally hit the Google Translate button on my browser, AND MY ESSAY TRANSLATED TO ITALIAN. ...AND THEN IT SAVED. So I spent the next ten minutes trying to translate it back. >.<>

Easter's almost here! We're having twenty-five people over (geez) including one Jew. :) So I get to help clean the whole house! YAY! We also stained our deck a pretty brownish-chestnut colour to make it Easter worthy.

I HAVE A SUPER AWESOME HAT FROM ALICE IN WONDERLAND AND IT'S AMAZING AND MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THE MAD HATTER!

Oh, I went to Disneyworld for marching band! (Yes, a little late notice, but I haven't been posting in a while :P) 'Twas uber fun fun. I've yet to post the pictures though, 'cause Facebook doesn't like to post my pictures, and I don't think Snapfish would let me upload over 500 pictures..

ALRIGHTY

FRUSTRATION.

I. CAN'T. FOCUS.

I need to write an essay. On capillary action. For Mr. Ko. AND I JUST CAN'T DO IT.

Capillary action? Why it's the reason a forest shouldn't be built over? A WHOLE ESSAY?!

Jesus Christ.

In other news, there was the most super awesome Facebook prank today. Everyone changed their profile picture to Gabe, then made their status: "Never forget to love life."

Ha. Haha. 'Twas funny. :D

Also, Civil Twilight is awesome. And their singer sound just like Bono. Pretty uncanny resemblance.

TIME TO ATTEMPT THE STUPID ESSAY AGAIN!

Cyaa.

Wow.

Hey. It's been awhile. I remembered this thing existed. No idea if you guys check it anymore, but I'll start posting again anyways. :)

Jazz Band has been fun, though Mr. Greenhaugh CUT ONE OF MY SONGS FOR THE NEXT CONCERT! >.< I spend most of my time just sitting around or taking pictures. Speaking of pictures..

I WANNA BE A PHOTOGRAPHER. Mhm. Yup. I love photography. It's soo much fun. I'll just walk around outside and take pictures of stuff for hours. I must look ridiculous to other people..but, eh. Too bad. :D

I kinda like field hockey. We played it in gym yesterday, and it was fun. Not that we played a game, or anything, but I like how you play and..yeah. I dunno. I'll see what happens when we play a game game.

Btdubs, IT'S A SIX-DAY WEEKEND! WE'VE HAD TWO BLIZZARDS IN A ROW! SO I MADE A SNOWMAN! HIS NAME IS MARTY WILBUR XAVIER SPINA THE SNOWMAN! HE'S AWESOME!

So...yeah. I guess this'll do, for now. Cyaa.

Love,
