And my weakness

2005-12-26T00:42:00.000-06:00

I got an iPod. I feel like a hypocrite, but I like it :)

Does anyone know what is up with the pageant's website not existing?

I'm so close to quitting band. I'm so sick of that moron. I got a B on the final(you know-the one that doesn't exist). I got a 95% for the concert, though its not like we had extra practices that i missed. And I keep getting B's for weekly participation, although I am there every day and I do every other thing other the sun to keep his majesty happy.

The themes final was over stuff we haven't got to yet. I had a 91.5 in the class. I got a 75 on the final. I have a 88 in the class. If that takes my top ten away I'm going to "bust a cap".

I fell like i've neglected this

Saturday we went Christmas caroling. we went to roger's and he CLAPPED. then we went to ali and brandon's and their mom answered the door, looked at us, shut the door, and never came back. it was sad.

played at calvary. half way thru the 1st song by a popped out of tune and i couldn't get it to stay so i just played in about 9th position on the d string for the rest of the time.

got a free antennae ball from the awesome lady at jack-n-the-box

took my 3 hard finals, including themes. kissed my a in that class goodbye. except my fortune at the shanghai house was about doing good on a difficult testing which will make me happy. so maybe i guess good. hopefully......

Good thing: Jenna Yungck found me on myspace, and I'm really glad I have it now.

Bad thing:Snowed like 4 inches today, and we still had school.

2005-12-03T23:04:00.000-06:00

got martina mcbride tickets today. woot.

I've decided the only thing senior awards are good for are showing what your "friends" really think of you.

Such as "Most Stubborn-Melissa Bock"

Sounds kind of ironic and hyprocritical to me.

Miss Randall was at church yesterday. If you've ever been to youth group or sunday school with vinny, you know how incredibly hilarious this was.

Saw Wicked yesterday and loved it.

Ringing bells for salvation army for nhs tonight.

LCCC band concert thursday. You should come. The songs are pretty fun. I'd tell you what all it was, but Ashley has the music at the moment.

It really pisses me off when people come to a meeting or practice one time and then try to say they are part of the club or team. i.e. scholar bowl.

Interesting to think about

WEll. DePauw, which was going to be my test audition, is now my No. 1 choice, with a 29 million dollar expansion on the music buidling by 2007, a fountain, and a pond.

Laura, this girl at my church, made it on Junior Stars Idol, or something like that, like American Idol for teens.

Got into UE.

And I am out of things to say.

Concert

2005-11-10T13:54:00.000-06:00

Last night we went to see MxPx and Relient K plus Over It! and Rufio.

We went up to the balcony to sit at the bar area(that's the only place to sit up there if you don't have reserved seats).

Over it! had already started when we got there. They were okay. At the end these guys came out randomly dress like Santa, or wearing women's underwear, or wearing a flag as a cape. It was strange.

Rufio was pretty good.

During MxPx the guys from Over it! came up to the balcony and stood right smack in front of where we were sitting. The usher saw we couldn't see and told us we could go ahead and sit in the reserved seats. Sweet! All I was thinking was "It would be cool if they took us backstage". It didn't happen.

Tyler and Drew waited for 2 hours to get into the mosh pit. And you know what they did the whole time they were in there? Stand there like a bump on a log.

Relient K was good too, but I was so dang tired. We all were though. I think Melissa and I were the only people standing up by the last song.

I had a good time watching the most pit too. No one was supposed to crowd surf, but plenty of people did, and every time someone tried, the crowd would pass them right to the "bouncer". It cracked me up. There was also quite a multitude of people that starting feeling sick and the "bouncer" literally had to grab them and drag them over the barrier to get them out. One girl even had to be carried out. But it made for good people watching.

anyone?

Got my acceptance letter to Elmhurst today. :)

2005-10-30T17:35:00.000-06:00

There's a big ol picture of me(almost as big as Sophie's, but not quite) in the sports section today. Soak that one up. I'll never be in the sports section again.

Went up to visit mom's friends today. Out of the four of us kids that were there(Casey, 19 and Elizabeth, Andy, and me, all 17), Casey is engaged and Elizabeth is pregnant. That is so weird. I can remember the last time I saw them, in like 5th grade, and things are so different now. It also seems like Andy and I are almost the same person. He can still crack me up like a mofo. He also has grown his hair out and looks strangely like Lennon. He then proceeded to tell us that last year, when their math team made it to state, he completely shaved his head except for the shape of pi. My mom claims I'm going to marry him someday.

I wonder who won Powder Puff.

20 minutes til trick or treaters!!! woot!

just gotta make it through

2005-10-30T00:02:00.000-05:00

Last competition+winning nothing+mistaking oakville for alton and thinking we won something+a one time but no longer friendly face+a smell that makes me think back to a time that will most likely never happen again=very depressing night.

But I managed to make it thru without crying, although I almost started when the college band played Spain, because i realized it was the first show we ever did, and the last show we'll ever watch together.

And the students at UE have somehow figured out how to play Quidditch in the gym.

2005-10-25T21:14:00.000-05:00

DONE WITH 2 HOUR REHEARSALS FOREVER! WOOT!

The rest of the week is going to be pretty neat-o.

Tomorrow night we are going to The Darkness with youth group. I am so scared. I hope I don't pee my pants. I already warned Melissa that if she feels a hand grab her neck its just me.

Thursday my mom and I are leaving to revisit UE on Friday and taking Grandma and Grandpa with us so they can see my (hopefully) future home.

Friday night is the costume party. My secret costume is gonna be pretty easy since I won't be home. I'm going to take my smores maker. woot.

Saturday's our last competition ever. I hope we win something.

Sunday I'm going up to Detroit, IL to visit my mom's friends. I haven't seen them in a while, so it should be pretty cool. Last time we were with them, one of their sons was working on reading the dictionary, and I still beat him on the ACT, so if the opportunity arrises I'll be sure to rub it in just a little. :) It's all for fun though, I'm not really thaaat mean.

"Isn't it funny how simple it is for people totrash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell."

I must admit a couple certain people came straight to my mind when I read that.

2005-10-24T19:00:00.000-05:00

I need a favorite band memory.

So if you have one that involves me, let me know.

All i have is when I asked the guy at SIUC where Starbucks was.

I have about 10,000 orchestra memories. Maybe I'll use one of them and hope no one notices.

I suppose having to learn the clarinet parts for WSS in less than two weeks thanks to SOPHIE could count as band.

2005-10-20T20:35:00.000-05:00

so themes isn't going to london in 07 anymore cuz it was so expensive. so he changed it to this summer and gave us four choices:

williamsburg-5 days in williamsburg and yorktown visiting various old houses and such, and thats all

boston-visiting battlefields and a few museums, also a whale watching cruise

phili-visiting a bunch of museums

nyc-visiting the statue of liberty, chinatown, 5th ave, greenwhich village, rockefeller center, nbc studio, at least one show on broadway, the u.n., metropolitan museum of art, central park, carnigie hall, licoln center, federal hall, the gugenheim, the empire state building, and wall street

WHY would you pick anything other than nyc? if they do, i might have a spazz attack.
