Well We had Sky tryouts today in Lawrence, which was freakin awesome!! We had 25 people there trying out!! I was sooo excited!! We've pretty much doubled from last year, and there were supposed to be 4 or 5 more people there today, but they couldnt make it, so yeah Ann could not cut anyone today because we're all soo good! Like we all started out with singles, and no one dropped, i heard a smack that was pretty much together, and i got chills! I love hearing that smack when its all together! Plus I dont think anyone dropped the first single, when usually most people do!! So this is going to be a really awesome season! I have no idea how many people Ann will be taking... Although im pretty sure all returning sky ryders will make it and the two guard boys... ;) Yay for guard boys! But i dont know who else has a good chance... I know there were some people there that just... well they're a little bit slower than what we need right now. No offense to any of them, but I think they need a bit more experience before they do our guard, or a guard like ours. But who knows they may show a drastic improvement between now and the next two weeks before call backs!
I took two of my guard girls to tryouts! They were pretty good! Victoria was a lil nervous, but thats alright I was too my first time i tried out for sky! They're the only high school girls trying out, soo yeah i thought there would be more people their age trying out, but oh well I hope at least one of them makes it! They were doing pretty good today, Victoria was frustrated at the flag work and the dancing stuff like Chase's and Sote's but i'll work with her.
When we were talking about dues today, Ann mentioned it would be a flat $800... and im like damn thats how much it cost for me to do drum corps my first year, and we're not even spending the whole summer with them or having them cook for us... so its 800 plus $ for food, and gas. But if Rendi, and Victoria make it It'll really help me out and them as well, as far as money, and it'll be an awesome experience for them as well! I really hope they make it! I want them to do this with me! I need people to drive there with me... megan I know you'll come up with me to see tristan and ppl. Sorry i didnt tell you I was going up this time but I left at 9am this morning and got back at 9pm and it'll be the same the next sunday on the 23rd. But i have 3 girls plus me going up there, so i think you may want to wait for one of those 2 or 3 day weekends... but let me know, we can always have the youngn's sit in the back tee hee ;) they're all really skinny they can squeez hehe ;)
Joe has been keepin in touch recently, quite often. Don't get me wrong, I love staying in touch with Joe, I missed talking to him. Although a month ago or so we couldnt talk the way we're talking now. A month ago it was awkward to talk to him, and even more so or 3 months ago. But now we're talking like we always have before. Givin eachother shit all the time and just having a good time talking to eachother. He told me he missed me the other day, and that he's been looking for love with the girl that he's been with, but he only found love with me. I hope that came across right, Joe correct me if you need to. The only problem is, well there's a few, I'm here, he's in Michigan... 15 hrs away, distance sucks him and I tried it, It worked for a while, but when you dont spend enough time with the person it just doesnt work too well. Plus it helps if you're in the same state. and 2 weeks of seeing eachother at a time if that, is not even enough. and that was only twice a semester. The other thing is, he has to finish his flying stuff, and he's thinking about joining the coast guard... which would take some time away from being with him whether it be me with him or another girl, but yeah and i have school. I'm also scared that this kind of thing will happen again that something will happen and he'll break up with me or i'll break up with him, ya never know. I'd rather something like that not happen again. And I wish it didnt take him 5 months to realize what he'd lost.. ya know those sayings you never know what you had until you've lost it, and then its even harder to get back what you had. There's even more issues... I still love Joe, and I want to be with him but like i said before, the distance, and school, careers, and i'm dating a guy right now that I like, I dont know if i love or could love, but things are going pretty well. But I cant drop everything right now and just be with Joe even though i'd like to, but im attatched to soo many things here at the moment. Plus Joe wanted us to date other people, so i am doing so, and i want to see how it goes.
Some of you would understand others not.. but its hard to let go of your first love, and one that you've loved even after he broke up with you.
