last five days

ok ive been meaning to blog for five days. it has been five amazingly blog-inspiring days.

THURSDAY
district jazz!!!!! WOOHOO! it was amazing. ten hours in corry for a jazz audition. we were in that cafiteria so long that you almost forgot what life was like outside of corry. people randomly breaking out into songs with their insturments and creating quartets and small bands seemed completely natural by the end of the audition. anyway the first person they called was glorious ME! i got FIRST (and second) BAND!!! i was so happy. that is such a huge honor. first band iis persay the all-star band. im in with the best jazz musitions in town. the entire rythum section was academy. me on vibes, Andrew Gordon on drume, Kaitlyn mitchell on piano, Anthony Letto on guitar, and Sid on bass. im so excited, were playing some good songs too. beauty and the beast, caravan, stevie wonder medely. good stuff.
FRIDAY
im still excited about yesterday. i woke up excited, having only gone to bed four hours eariler. i got to school all excited and had the opportunity to tell everybody. there were very few people who didnt ask what band i got in. i net up with a whole bunch of other people in the hall who also got into band one and we did that excited hold hands and jump up and down and squeal a very high note. well Andrew Gordon is using my extremely old pair of mallats that i thought were LONG gone. apparently theyve survived five years at academy. all the homework that i didnt do the day before because of district jazz was excused, if not completely ignored. and the german test that i left early from to practice i DIDNT FAIL. in fact i got an 85 which is a B!!!!!!
SATURDAY
a fine day. definately not as good as the previous two. i went to see man of the year with my friends. i dont reccommend that movie. it was kinda funny in the beginning, but it got a little dry later. we went to the mall and wreaked havoc in all the stores we went into. i was going to buy this amazing coat to replace my ugly old one that is NOT cold at all. but it was billabong brand (one of my favorite brands of clothing) so it was $55. about 30 more than i had. it was in general a good day.
SUNDAY
UGH i hate sundays. first i got up and went to ccd. which was pertty much stupid. it amazes me that mom sends me there to learn about catholocism when they are clearly as catholoc as my head is round. meaning theyre still generally catholoc, but they believe in being saved (not incredably strongly but definately an improvement) and they dont believe that the only way to get to heaven is by eating a piece of bread. always nice. so then we went to the bad place for church. jennys group sang. they REALLY need to learn about tuning. and then the homily was so hypocritical and blasphemous and stupid that i was this close *im holding my fingers very close together* to waltzing right out of that place. but alas i did not. but i felt like i wante to wipe my eyes with a cheeze grater and sove sharpened pencils in my ears. it was NOT pretty.
TODAY (monday in case you didnt noice)
school was fine. we had a sub in geometry. in ceramics i painted my escher tiles again. im almost done. i think ill be done on wednesday. but my sheep got fired!! so it looks really good and i was going to post a picture of them but im too lazy. i got a really good grade and im rather proud of that accomplishment. in german we barely did anything. it was fun. we bought some ballons from the school store and inhaled the helium and sang songs in REALLY high pitched voices. it was.. interesting. in language arts we made a circle and barely talked about language arts at all. it was kinda pathetic. at home APPARENTLY im going to splash lagoon on wednesday with the Nelsons, my cousins, and Adrienne. thats exciting i guess.
WELL i have to go bye bye.

hello three people who read this blog.
im happy right now. somewhat abnormal. im going to district jazz tomorrow, im excited! i have to learn PROXY by tomorrow, but since i dont own any vibes i have to just listen to it on repeat. its really catchy.... im also an accompionist now! im much more excited about that than jazz. i dont know who im accompaning yet or what ill be playing but its still exciting. tomorrow i also have to so my report for lasher. im doing it on the black death, medicine, the stpid church, and how people finally came to their senses and figured that there was something wrong with catholocism. oh and ring around the rosy!!!! there are a whole lot of versions of that! im so excited because i get to make the whole class get up and dance around in circles singing really old versions of ring around the rosy!!! woohoo! its funny how little things amuse people. like today in the library there was this really big red book with fancy black letters that had the words THE NAKED AND THE DEAD on it. so it was really distracting trying to write about dead people with those metallic letters in front of me. so i had to go see what it was about. well it turned out to be a tragic war story about people dying and fighting to the death...
ANYWAY im going to go let you poor innocent people get back to your life.

so.... its been a while since my last blog. im supposed to be doing homework but i didnt bring anything home................ i have a DBQ for world history and i dont know what a DBQ is much less how to write one, and even less how to write one and pass. i have 12 pages of chemistry, that i can do quickly so im gonna do it later. and i have to do a revision for language arts and i dont have my origonal essay. so im sitting here blogging.
theres a person who is completely mentally insane. and i cant say much more than that....
SO i just thought id write a blog. now im gonna have to find out how to do some of my homework. ta ta.

november first

i hate funerals. who doesnt? it sounds like a stupid thing to say doesnt it? well its not. when people die its not a happy thing. so WHY do atheists, catholocs, and liberal Christians alike take a day to dress up like dead people and celebrate?? it no longer makes any sense to me. but showings are always amazing. they let you learn what the dead person was concealing, or that only certain people knew. when my aunt berle died a lot of her really old friends showed up and started talking about her. apparently she had been a straight A student since kindergarten, she was prom queen, and she helped lead a protest, something to do with busses. and nobody close to her knew what an amazing life she lived until she died. ironic isnt it? another case, recently my dads old tenant Johnny died. his showin was the first time in a really long time that all his brothers were together. and OH there were stories! johnny and his brothers were perfect stereotypical italians. they spent their lives running from police, smuggling beer during prohibition, hosting illegal poker games, and gambling underground. seeing all those brothers was really wierd. they were partners in crime reunited by the death of one of their most beloved partners.
today is the first day of november. summer seems so far away now... and next summer is even farther away. i really miss summer already.
thats it.
