gay band was AMAZING.
turned out to be almost a three hour rehearsal, which is cool. there was really nothing special about it other than everyone there was gay.
we have some fun pieces, and maybe you guys should come to the concert in october. the pieces we'll choose from are....let me find them...Music For A Darkened Theatre (Danny Elfman film scores pasted together, and by far my favorite), the theme from Schindler's List, uh, the Start Wars Epic, Part I, Pirates of the Caribbean, music from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the Simpsons, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and the Lord of the Rings. I've played the last one, but it was on flute. Tickets are $15.00 and we play somewhere on Broadway. i need to get a few to sell to ya chumps. wonder if i could get my dad to go.
by the way, the french horn section DOMINATES the band; it's bigger than the rest, which goes to show, it's the gayest instrument ever. the flute section is painful...no surprises there....but everyone is awesome as far as i can tell. especially those in my section XD there is one lady in another section that scares me, but i'm sure she's really nice..... GOD i can't wait til tuesdah.
i'm waaaay too caffeinated. i made tea on my break at work today and kept drinking it til left around four thirty, because it was just so delicious, it's called Silk Road, from Vashon, yeah, and so I've been singing a hell of a lot. Particularly when I was fighting rush hour traffic. Which was hell. Crossing the bridges almost didn't happen.... Next time I think I'll head there right after work, explore around the area, get dinner or whatever, and avoid the mess if I can. The caffeine made it quite a bit harder to play than it should have been. Course, I did start off completely unable to play a Bb scale, other than the B, and massively out of tune. But once I started playing the music I started to remember what the hell I was doing. I'd be much better at flute, because six years, at least an hour a day, at least, will do that to you. But damnit, French horn simply kicks ass! It's a drug. It's gotta be.
Speaking of drugs...Why? Alcohol in particular. I'm totally okay with it on special occasions, like birthdays, holidays, Canadia, and movie/game nights, etc. but drinking alone just to be drunk and feel good, or because everyone else is doing it? (or have an excuse to be a dumbass) Lame. I don't know about you all, but I feel like a used snot rag on the street the next day. I never get hangovers, but there's just this feeling of ugh, in varying degrees. Maybe it feels something like being poisoned...because guess what! And the drugs. Well, there are good reasons and bad. Most people use them for the bad. I can't really take any moral stance on it, because one of my things is a healthy respect for the right to choose. But it seems somehow...inefficient or something. It seems sloppy. Dependent. Chickenshit. Most of all, LAZY. Man, you don't need drugs to be crazy.
Gech, meds, stomach....but I will prevail!!! By just ignoring it. So far I haven't noticed that third beat; this is good. I keep forgetting where keys are and that the order of the letters matter as I type. I always do, but generally I either don't care, or I'm at a really awkward angle. I think uppercase is silly anyway. It's cool and all - I really like writing caps in longhand - but... I'm not going to explain this. i just prefer it like this. Punctuation is far more important. Yarr, caffeine. -Sigh- If my dad weren't here you can bet I'd be either singin' or holding an animated conversation with myself. Maybe this is a good night to bake some cookies.......ja ds;glhares; shplarrrrge. ...No. I'm just going to find dinner and go to bed.
Happiness~~
