Badly played football games...hard PSAT's...CHOCOLATE...

Well, I predicted correctly last week. We lost the football game last night...again. 42-6, so at least we scored once. And I didn't even stay for the whole game. Pretty depressing. The best part was probably JH's new cadence that he wrote.
The reason I didn't stay for the whole game was because I took the PSAT this morning. It was hard and the room was cold. If I did well, I don't know...and won't know, what my results are until December. And it doesn't even count uptil next year. And I still have SAT's...
The reason that I said Cholcolate...it is my comfort food. And it makes me happy.

Update about Friday's game, as promised...

Well, only two words can be said about the game last Friday. It STANK. We lost (what's new? we have only lost, let's see, EVERY GAME EXCEPT THE FIRST TWO) 0-32. Pitiful isn't it?? Not to mention that it was so cold, our instruments went completely and utterly out of whack. I had to play C#'s in place of C's because my C's sounded like Bb's. The tips of our fingers were becoming blue and we only played 4 stand tunes. Why? Because whenever we would get ready to play something, the other team would score! We play Blacksburg this Friday and even though I am leaving early (PSAT's next morning at 8 o' clock) I, and probably everyone else in the school, can tell you the outcome of the game. We're going to lose. It is almost guanteed.
On a completely different note, I just watched the coolest movie. It was "Drumline" and was all about (you guessed it!) marching band. Oh, my Gosh, it was sooooooooo cool. I think that it should be a required movie for all highschool marching band members to watch.

Have to go to bed, school is tomorrow,

Why am I home instead of at school or rehearsal? Two words...Power-Outage. Really? Believe it.

Yes, the kids at school were dismissed because of a power outage. However, I guess that it was pretty serious, since the crew from news channal 7 was there, taking footage. And it was a while before they realized how serious it was, because the power officially went out during second period at around 10 and we weren't dismissed until 1. But anyway, here is a wonderful description of my eventful day.
It all began in second period. My teacher was teaching about Linear Programming, when the power went out and he stopped teaching, because his powerpoint wouldn't work, since our wireless network was knocked out of whack. So, I left and went down to Spanish, my third period. There, I was stuck for two periods, waiting for the principle to dismiss us. When she finally did, I went to English for 20 minutes. Then, I was in Q's classroom for lunch. While there, the principle told us all we were leaving. And that was it. We left and now, I am doing this blog. I would've been in marcing band practice right now.
We are practicing after school tomorrow, before our game against Blacksburg. It is a homegame.
Because of that game I won't be able to blog tomorrow, but I'll write on Saturday, to update about the score and the party afterwards.

Love songs. If they make me so sad, why do I listen to them?

By sad, I mean this. And the explanation isn't short. I know that I have already said that I went to Homecoming alone and there, they played so slow dance songs. They made me sad, because I had no date, and eventually danced two of them with G. But, whenever I hear one, I think of love, which is something that I don't think I will never have.
I have had so many crushes over the course of my 15 years of living, it is sad. There is a really good description of crushes in a book I once read. You like someone and the other person doesn't like you. And, by the time they are actually paying any attention to you, you have moved on. So, I was just on the computer, partially listening to music and doing my spanish homework at the same time, when a song came up. It is by They Might Be Giants and is called "Another First Kiss" Considering that I have never been kissed, the song has always generally depressed me. But, I don't know why, but it seemed to weigh just a bit more heavely today. I know that it wasn't because of any "im"ing I did, and hopefully, I will be able to think up of why by tomorrow. Anyway, my mood is really strange, so I'm going to go and practice, CSpiccologurl

Am I Invisible???

Today, our marching band was supposed to play our show at pre-game. Problem was that is was 48 degrees and the wind was ferocious. So, after driving all the way to William Byrd High school and waiting for something like a half an hour, we drove back to school. On the way there, it wasn't as bad as I thought, because someone was sitting next to me and we were talking. A lot. However, on the way back, it wasn't so great.
I sat there, on the freezing cold bus, trying to keep warm, and no one seemed to know that I exsisted. They were laughing, taking cell phone pictures, singing and cuddleing, and there I was, alone and completly being disragarded. And I felt really lonely.
So, I think that I am invisible. Sure, I have said that before, when people would run me over, but this is different. Now, I have been in school for 5 weeks, and I still feel alone.

What a painful life we live

Today, I had a very painful day that began before 1st period and ended at about 4:30 pm. I shall tell you and also provide advice so you won't get into the same predicament.
For starters, I ran into a locker on my way from homeroom to 1st period World History II. Ouch. Look where you are going, so you don't get a locker in the face.
Oh, but the peak was what happened on the way to 2nd period. I fell down the stairs. Yes, you read right. I was going down the stairs when I fell 10 stairs. Now, as I write this blog with sore ankles and a very painful collarbone, I tell you this, WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING, SO YOU DON'T END UP FALLING DOWN STAIRS IN FRONT OF MANY PEOPLE. Not only is it embarrassing, but it really, really hurts.
The next thing, which happened at marching practice after school, wasn't that bad; it didn't even hurt, it was just uncalled for. I was sitting during break with A, when I realized that one of the members of the drum line and JH were throwing ice at each other. The whole purpose was for one to throw the ice and the other to catch it in their mouths. And, with the hints that I have just provided, you can probably already guess what I am going to say. Yes, a piece of ice landed on me. Like I said previously, it didn't hurt. The coldness just gave me a jolt back into reality. So, in a way, I am thankful that they got me out of my day-dreaming stage. But it was cold. Advice for this event, watch where you sit.

Out of the advice, remember the two most imprtant ones; look where you are walking and watch out for flights of stairs...

America's Funniest Home Videos, Band version

Today, Q made a hilarious joke in Symphonic band that, although funny, I found really mean. And if it happened to me, I would be very hurt. And it involved JH.
JH, if I haven't toldyo yet, it rather...short. And today, while in band, he tripped over a step and Q made a joke. To me, it was just uncalled for, and he didn't even apologize for it.

JH was carrying the snare drum up to the back of the room, where all the percussion equipment is. On the way up, he tripped and fell. It made a kinda large crash and then Q asked him the question,
'Is the step to high for you?'

For those who don't understand, our band room has various levels, flutes at the bottom, then sax's, then brass and so on. To get to the back of the room, JH had to climb large steps. Now that I have explained the layout, I'm sure you get the joke. Are the steps up to the top of the band room too high, teasing him because of his shortness.

So, it's funny, but I think that it was mean. I mean, who would want that joke made about them? That's my only question. And even though JH has probably forgotten all about it, there is always the posibility that he hasn't. And even though I am not calling him wuss, I am just stating the posibility.

If you agree, post a comment, I would be interested,

Yesterday's Homecoming--awkward, ghetto, but totally worth $15

By awkward, I mean that I went to my first homecoming dance without a date. By ghetto, I mean that I went to a taco bell with J for homecoming dinner. And by totally worth it, I really mean it. It was freakin' awsome.
To begin the awesome night, I was picked up by J's dad and we went to Taco Bell, where we ate and talked about band while other people watched us. She was in a random sweater on top of her dress and I was wearing a large jacket over mine.
Then, we werer picked up and went to the school. From 8 to 9, we walked around randomly and met band people.
Then, at 9 the danceing started and I really didn't dance until about 10, when I danced with one of the guys from marching band. J told me that I could just ask some guy randomly to dance. And so I did.
I asked a guy from my World History class and my confirmation class at church. And the slow dance that I danced with himwas played at my dance last year. It made me miss my Florida friends, but the guy, G, just talked with me about moving and band, sonce his younger brother is in marching band with me.
Oh, by the way, WE LOST OUR HOMECOMING GAME. Oh, my Gosh, people were soooo angry.
But that didn't change anything when the dance came.
