Yesterday marked the third one of my auditions for Allegheny Valley Honors Band, and MAN I was nervous. I was going for my last year in the Junior High School, which made it slightly easier, but still! Anyway, I tried out on flute and piccolo.

Man, this tryout is so, SO traumatic. I remember my first time in seventh grade left me marked. Last year I made it as Second Part, First Flute, but I wanted to get in on the piccolo because they only take one piccolo for the whole band, and I wanted it to be ME! o_e Anyway, the tryouts are basically, you step into a small room with two judges who have their backs turned to you and who you are not allowed to speak to. When I went for my flute tryout, I just stood there for approximately five years, before realizing that I could start, yay! Then I realized that my old music teacher from middle school was one of the judges, so I started shaking really hard. I shook a lot before, but nothing compared to how I was shaking then. But I waited for another five years. And then I started.

I sounded good, but during the piccolo sixteenth note run, I ran out of air and frantically gasped for breath and thought, "NO! I didn't play the E flat!", and it all went downhill from there. Luckily it was the end, so all I had to do was end with a staccato high G....ugh.

AV tryouts are a serious mess because people are always crying and freaking out and jumping up and down and going crazy, c har. That's how it always happens. I was so nervous that I couldn't eat any of the precious sugar offered to me, so I just kinda sat there and shook and huddled in my jacket and waited.

This morning, I ran into the band room, shaking frantically yet again, and the teacher informed me that I WAS THE ONLY FLUTE FROM MY DISTRICT TO BE PICKED FOR THE JUNIOR HIGH DIVISION AND I MADE THE PICCOLO! :DDDDD I was so happy, I cried. I seriously cried, but no one could tell because I kept scrubbing my eyes for fear that I would have ugly trails of black eyeliner streaming down my face. I think everyone cried. I was really sad that my friends weren't picked, so I cried more, but lord, I was so happy. So, so happy.

 

Today...is a good day. :D

Our school district's homecoming is totally involved, waaaay more involved than anyone else's. I'm talking a long parade, a picnic, the game, and then the dance. XD We like our varsity here.

Anyway...

Friday, October 10~The "All" (Late) Nighter Float Meeting


Very, very eventful. Especially for me. Band float meetings are ALWAYS eventful, though. ;3

Anyway, so I was pomping the float, near the top, yeah? And I was standing on a very rickety ladder that kind shook a bit when I reached for the tissue paper that we pomped with...or whatever that stuff was. Anyhoo, I just went over to get the gold when all of the sudden, the ladder wasn't under me anymore.

Yep, so I screamed hysterically because I was in midair.

Luckily, one of the seniors caught me by the waist...it was so convienent! It got really quiet because everyone saw the ladder go crashing down and was looking for my corpse, which I was still kind of in shock and just kinda hanging there. Well, I didn't crack my head open and die, so yaaay! Mission accomplished!

Even though I still have a huge bruise on my leg. :/


Saturday, October 11~The Parade

I was supposed to dance for the place I take Irish, but would I miss that for band? Hell no! XD Even though it was seventy degrees and I was very hot and sweaty and parades make me sweat even more, like a pig, I was fine. I actually ran over to my teacher when she was marching on and was like, "I don't see US on that banner!"

My flute broke when we were marching, so I could only play a few notes. Shocker. My flute ALWAYS breaks at the most inconvienent times, let me tell ya.

My friend got mad at me because I didn't wave at her. Well geez! You don't just wave at people when you're in marching band!

Saturday, October 11~The Game

I knew one of the people on the other time from Jazz Society, so we talked (and I wanted to tell her to tell Brian that he is a stupid sexist jerk, but I was nice and didn't say a word. O.o) The little kids marched on with us...ahaha! It was great! I really hope I didn't look that lost when I was in eighth grade.

The other team had one of the same songs as us! O.o Other than that, there was nada event. Except for the flutes not playing in the homecoming ballad. Hey, I was going to, but my flute was broken, remember? XD


Saturday, October 11~The Dance

I curled my hair at the beginning of the night. At the end of the night, it was stick straight AGAIN. *sigh* My hair is really really REALLY long so it doesn't do anything it's supposed to.

 

Anyway, it was just another dateless dance that cost $10 for me. However, my friend had a date who couldn't dance and got hit with a Wet Floor sign (I law'd) and such and such. Oh yeah, and someone spiked the lemonade, I swear. I had two cups of it and could not stop laughing for the rest of the night. XD

Sunday, October 12~The Restaraunt
 

We all went to a nice restaraunt and got fat at about 12, after the dance. Need I say anymore? Oh yeah, and I ate a lot of plain sugar because it tasted like marshmallows and it was so good and everything was funny and hahaha.

My friend's date was REALLY high. He was singing drunkenly in the car and we all laughed hysterically until I got home, typed, and seriously collapsed and died.

THE END!

Edit: HO CRAP TODAY IS MY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY ON FF.NET! AHAHA! I'D LIKE TO THANK THE ACADEMY...

( How could Marlin ever choose me over her? )

The first part is somewhat good. The last part is crap. The middle part if meh. Regardless, I hope you enjoy. ;3

 

( Maybe that is how I feel now: like nothing can save me but time, but the pain is too much for me to bear. )

Haha, no. I'm just busy. Seriously...I have marching band, student council, and Irish dance, plus tamingthemuses...five weeks. Guh. Twenty five more to go.

 

So. I was going to try out for district band, but now I have second thoughts. There is NO WAY I'm going to be prepared by then. I'll just grit my teeth and try out for Alley Valley honors band, and pray to God that I'll make it. We also have too much homework. Way, waaaay too much homework, especially around homecoming time, when there are float meetings and all nighters and dances and...GUH.

I feel retarded because I don't have a date and everyone else does. :( Not only that, but my friend's friend isn't talking to me because...ready for this? It's pretty bad...yup, I'm in marching band. I mean, some of her friends have been really be-otchy about it. If I just mention it once, they yell at me. It's so stupid that they're discrimminating against the band kids. It's not our fault. I don't even know why...can't they just listen for a maximum of five minutes?

Okay, had to get that off my chest.

I had my first-ever Irish Dance competition, and it was sooooooo fun! Seriously, I would have never guessed how much fun I had there. There was a lot to see and do, and there was just this contagious low-pressure atmosphere around that made me, I dunno, less nervous.

We played at a football game at our rival school last Friday...naturally we lost miserably, but the way they booed us was HILARIOUS! XD They chanted "overrated!" at the band, and...get this, get this...one of them painted a trombone and was blasting on it at us. XDDDD I seriously law'd. It was terrible. My old band teacher tried to yell at the student section ("Hey, be nice! Grr!") to no avail. I would have videotaped the whole thing if I could. It was priceless. You just can't get that entertainment anywhere else. :D

Well I've been remarkably sleep deprived this year, so I'm going to enjoy the one day where I can sleep in until seven. Yes, seven. Pathetic. :'D

Today was my birthday. Whoo-hoo! XD

I lost my voice today. Many people rejoiced...nah, they didn't. They just strained their eyes a lot and asked, "WHAT?" in an obnoxiously loud tone, as if mocking me for my lack of vocals.  There's a serious illness spreading around school, mainly because the janitors have no clue how to control the air conditioning and the stupid thing ran amuck, making every classroom around sixty agrees...occasionally dipping into the low fifties. With that said, everyone is sick. Yay!

In band I narrowly avoided having everyone play "happy birthday" on their instruments, thanks to letting the little secret out after the instruments were locked safely away in their cages, where they could do no harm. (CX) However, in Japanese 2, I wasn't so lucky. Sensei (who is CRAZY and can barely be understood because of her accent) found the need to sing "tanjoubi omedetto" (happy birthday...) to me with everyone in the class. Yesterday during GATE, I was also sung to because my friend brought me cookies.

I was at band rehearsal until 4:30 today, and just finished my homework now. Yay! Freedom! Until we are laden with homework the next day...probably more, dangit. Not only that, but stupid DISTRICT band tryouts are coming up too fast for me to control.

Anyway.

Today one of my guy friends...no joke here...proposed to me. We liked to talk of Harvest Moon at the float meetings, and today he asked me, "Who are you going to marry?"

"Who is there to marry?" I asked in slight wonder.

He used his hands to form a heart next to his head...oh God, here it comes. "Me."

"Okay. Let's get married!"

 

XD

Potential date to homecoming, anyone?

The wedding is in one week, regardless. He yelled, "HEY FUTURE WIFE!" really loudly in the hall. It was funny. XD

So that was my birthday. Impressive, ne?

I just hate this chapter. I wrote it in a hurry to get it posted by the deadline, and thank Goddess that I did...but I guess it didn't turn out as bad as it should. Maybe I don't hate it that much after all. XD

Today was my first day of school, believe it or not! XD Blame the construction.

I was lost several times upon end, and pretty much late for every class. Once it was because the security guard gave me some weirdo directions that were completely wrong. XD And I can already tell that my biology teacher + me = severe cat fight. Because this guy is STRANGE. He tells us that if we aren't in our seats by the second bell, we get detention. That's ridiculous. I have to walk up two sets of stairs to get to his class, and believe me, that TAKES way more than four minutes.

Not only that, but he's making it an ASSIGNMENT to catch a live insect in a test tube. O.o How the heck am I supposed to do that? That's stupidity, right there.

Anyway...we had our first away game at the season at Tennis Boi's school. It poured down rain like heck but luckily, for halftime, we didn't have to wear our strange rain coats. :)

And I have a parade tomorrow so I should probably go to bed.

Night!

EDIT: OMG I JUST DELETED THE GAME WHERE I MARRIED MARLIN. O WELL. XD

Last week was eighth grade night. UGGGGGHHHHH. I should have shot myself on the spot when they came to the stands. They were SO annoying. They kept touching my hair in an annoying way, and stealing my gloves and trying to play with them on. Not only that but one of them touched me in the boob and I was kind of like...awkward...dude... And they were disrespectful when we had to hold up our hats when someone got hurt. It just bugged me. I don't think we were that bad last year. Meh. No boob touching on my part.

My fingers are really stiff. I'm learning all three movements of the Moonlight Sonata by December and it's actually pretty easy.

My feet are sore, too. Irish dance.

I'm sore all OVER!

I played Harvest Moon. I got to the end of year one. I tried so desperately to propose to Marlin. But his door was locked.

Alas, I am stuck with Rock. I mean the no-good manwhore who doesn't have a job and calls me "babe." One time he told me, " I ate all the food in the fridge. Put some more in. Thanks, babe." O.o

But I have his baby and I'm determined to raise it to be an actual asset to the community rather than the no good slab of breathing flesh, blood and bones that is Rock, who aimlessly wanders around the farm and wants to party, and doesn't get along with Takakura.

I bet he's going to buy a pole for me to dance on! Wah!

But at least he's not Gustafa. Gustafa is on LSD and he calls me "sister." That's practically incest! XD

On the other hand, I'm pretty pleased with Buried Cosmos. :) I think it turned out quite well.

Rating: Eventual T, for sexual themes.
Summary: In the blinding bliss of a fresh marriage, the responsibility and weight of life ahead seems far removed from the love of a soulmate, a new spouse, and a new beginning. Even Jill is devoid of the vision of her future as Marlin becomes the completion of her full circle, even though she's sure the first years of marriage are the most delicate. This is the missing story of those three years skipped, the truth behind the facade of two newlyweds.

I haven't updated here in FOREVER so I figured I'd drop a line...or two...or six...

As you can probably see, I've changed the look of my journal AGAIN! XD However, I want to find a way to put cherry blossoms on my background, which isn't working too well. And I know I MUST MUST MUST find a way to put Sakura Drops by Utada Hikaru on my page. That song is my new favorite, immediatly topping Ayumi Hamasaki's Fairyland. ;3 It just describes me so well....that is, if you get the English translation.

Speaking of which, Koda Kumi creeps me out. O.o She's always so slutty and I have no idea what her songs mean.

There is NOTHING to say right here because I am so bored with my life and school doesn't start until September 11th.

Oh yes...

About the The Task of Waiting. *mega le sigh*

I just don't know what to do with it. I wrote it a while ago, and I'm beginning to dislike it. I think its clunky and horrible and suckisly suckish...so I'm probably going to keep what I posted as a oneshot...or leave it, because there are too many loose ends. I'm thinking of writing mainly for Harvest Moon, but I will be dropping TONS of oneshots on the FMA category, and they are pretty much all going to be parental! RoyEd. Don't fret. The monster is more alive than ever.

I think I should stray away from longer stories now that my writing style is evolving. I don't ever want something like this happening again. EVER. This is a retarded, pathetic excuse for posting something that I know I'll never finish, but I'm just hoping that writing half my weight in oneshots will make up for the fact. I'm very interested in the Harvest Moon fandom so I will enjoy writing longfics there...if anyone reads them. XD

Um. Wow, this turned out longer than I though, ne? XD I guess that's a good thing.

I seriously spend too much time baking. I just made these cheescake-swirl cupcakes from scratch...scratch! Melting chocolate sucks, though. It takes forever and is just danged boring. XD

I bought Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life yesterday! Now, I can marry Marlin again and have another kid with him! ;3 This game rocks...no fricking sprites or anything. Heck, if you don't choose a husband by the end of the year, they give one to you! It does not get any easier than that, let me tell ya.

Still, Rock and Gustafa creep me out. Rock's all like, "OMFG HAI BABIEZ" and Gustafa's like, "PEAS SISTAAAA." I wonder if Gustafa smokes marijuana...

Tomorrow I get sushi! *dances* Then I'm going to see House Bunny, then I'm going to play at my first football game. :D

Oh my lord those cupcakes smell sooooo good...
