I'm a loser who sold my soul to AHS orchestra (NOT MR FRAZIER, i might add)
Yeah it's been a while since I updated... Orch trip and TAKS threw me totally off my regular routine of life. But it's okay. I'm right back into the same ol' madness.
So. Orchestra trip was awesome. It wasn't as outragious as the ski trip my freshman year or didn't have the same intimacy w/ some people on beach trip my sophomore year, but in exchange, for the first time in several years, I didn't take part in any drama!!! I was really happy about that. There was drama of course tho, as there is in every single high school field trips... But hey, it's over, and it's faded.
Some fun I had - Spotting an Alice in Chains shirt for the first time in my LIFE and actually BUYING it without hesitation (HELL YEAH!!!!!), Dallas Symphony (MAJOR inspiration there!), hanging w/ Alvin and Alvin only at Six Flags (as we do EVERY TIME orchestra goes to six flags), putt putt w/ Lisa, Libby, and Dillon at Speed Zone, sneaking out of the hotel Friday night (at expense of disapproval and disrespect of some of my friends) to go to Plano, TX, and hang w/ Lindsay from camp and check her bf's band (which was totally awesome and inspired me in many different levels), getting 1st division and runner up (equivalent to 2nd place) at some interstate orch competition (And I strongly believe that was our best performance all year, by far)... and just plain hanging w/ all my orch friends and screwing around w/ all the orch girls.
I also had a lot of thoughts over the trip. At one point i felt so lonely and desperate that I actually paid attention to a christian fanatic in my orch preaching to my friend about the greatness of GOD. It's pathetic, but I was that desperately in need of a religious support, and it inspired me. Also, at Plano, I was really inspired by all the hardcore christians i hung out w/. I never knew that people thats so deeply connected w/ religion (they might come across as fanatic in some people's eyes) can be so beautiful and inspire me so much. None of the christians here in Austin never made me feel that way. NONE! I might add that many of them annoy me, and i laugh at them for that matter (whether they are my friends or not).
I must say I'm blessed to have Lisa and Libby... they're totally cool, beautiful people, and it's so great to have three of us together in the best high school viola section in TX!!
Let's see... other good news... TAKS is over for rest of my life. Orchestra party is next saturday and it's going to be fun. Parliament and Funkadelic is coming to town next friday, and Paul and I are going to see them.
System of a Down crammed in 4 U.S. tour dates out of nowhere, i found that out friday, and ticket went to sale on friday at 5pm, and in a blink of an eye, it got sold out... i wanted to go, but that's not gonna happen. BUMMER. -_-^
I'm outa here. Gotta study hardcore. Now that I think about it all the stressful thoughts are coming back, but I'm gonna save it for another time and enjoy my good mood.
