Hm well today's not looking so good and that blows cause I was looking forward to this weekend...blah. It's kind of all fizzling out. Football season is all over...last night was my last game ever and it's pretty sad.
I'm at work right now and that's kinda fly cause I got to open the store and everything haha I'm so important! omgyay. It's been pretty slow though and I can't leave to get lunch oh no! But it's cool. I got paid today which is also fly!!
My car's still at the Hondaplace. Kinda blows. A lot.
Apparently all the cool people are at the cheerleading competition, going to work when I get off of work, going to their loser boyfriend's house to watch the Georgia game, or in S-ville...all of those places are equally really lame. OH WELL.
Haha the "drum coach" and I got into a big argument last night, it was so gay. I wasn't even actually mad or whatever, I was just saying. You know how it is. Haha. I just got on a roll. I mean how much respect do I have for a "drum coach" who came to like, less than 10 practices, can't read music, doesn't agree with me on the fact that "tempo is really important", has less rhythym that I DO OMG...I can't really remember much of the conversation because it was really stupid. But here's a winner....
[We were playing Warm Up #1 which is just 8th notes with different sticking, and we play it 5 times, each time increasing tempo]
Me: "If they can't play 8th notes in time here what are they going to do out on the field?"
Him: "They're going to be playing quarter notes on the field so that doesn't matter."
See what happened was...we always can play it right, but halfway through the warm up they wanted to play faster, and that wasn't cool, and one of them kept playing the little count off thing that I play because I set the tempo for the next time through, and if he did that then it just wouldn't work you know? So I kept saying do it over. So we did it like 6 times before he came over and started yelling at me. You know, if he had let me run every drumline rehearsal I doubt we'd be this completely awful.
Him: "You don't have to treat them like thatm."
Me: "I'm just trying to get them to play the warm up."
Him: "You're not better than them or anything."
Me: "Well this is my fourth year doing this, and everybody else's first or second..."
Him: "Fine well we'll see how you play out there by yourself."
Then he walked away. I was the only snare last night cause one guy just didn't come. Who cares. Anyway, his comment was funny because when I was a freshman I was the only snare the whole year, and I've had to be the only snare a few other games since then also, so you know, only snare = no big deal...he didn't know this of course because he doesn't give a shit about band, but yeah, when I was a freshman I memorized all my parts which were easily 45.65x harder than what we played this year, and could play them all without messing up. And I was a freshman. Come on now. I didn't make any mistakes last night either. Go me?
I was playing quads in the stands and busted a head (like Perry), I'm so proud of myself. Usually I break sticks.
Um anyway, yeah, that argument thing, wasn't that cool. And before the game we were doing our senior speech things...mine went something (or exactly) like:
"It's been really fun. And, I love everyone."
Only because he said it had to be brief (das a lie).
Ok well...haha, the game was still pretty fun. I'm about to have to close up the store so bye.
