Take 2...GAH!
I'm really sad right now. I just typed a HUGE entry. And my
computer deleted it before I had a chance to post it. Well I have
nothing better to do so let's try again.
DIESEL IS COMING TO INDIANAPOLIS!!!!!
(for those of you who don't know, Diesel is a 1994 Honda Accord, aka my baby).
Mom and Dad told me I could have him for this upcoming semester. It's mostly cuz I have to drive to Lafayette (Purdue U) since I'm playing in the Lafayette Symphony Orchestra. I'm so excited. I love my car. My baby. And I'll never be without him again! Yes, it'll be more expensive for me out there with the car now, but I'm willing to take that. Yay car!
(Note: has anyone seen the large package of CD's that were in Diesel? Like did I lend them to anyone? I'm missing about 50 CDs that are all copies of my originals for the purpose of having in my car...hmmm...)
In other news:
-I have been granted permission to go to Dave's River House for New Year's - muchos fun! Yay! Thank you again Mommy and Daddy!
-I need a job. Anyone want me to do anything? I have no money and need some (see above note about car). My skills include: cleaning, organizing, babysitting, errand-running, circus abilities, musical talents, I'm quick to learn, and have nothing to do until Jan 14th. Someone, give me a job?
-Yo is just Oy spelled backwards.
-In the cross-cultural spirit, I've officially added "Oy Humbug" to my vocabulary.
-Grades went really well this semester. I'm kinda sad about my B+ in BSO, not because it's a bad grade, but because I think Maestro Clark is an ass and gave me a grade based on seating auditions/placement. That is entirely unfair - I do not possess the same cellist-ic abilities as some of my section, no matter how hard I try. And punishing me with a lower grade is bullshit. I worked my ass off to learn the music this semester, and I feel I really am getting so much better. But it's going entirely unnoticed and unappreciated by my asshole conductor. So thank you Maestro, and please go screw yourself.
-I slipped pumping gas last night, and fell. On my antenna. Which went into my mouth, producing a large hole in my gums and several cuts and bruises. Add in a dental cleaning appointment today, and you have an unhappy Johanna mouth.
-I love my sister. And being home (though having a job would make it better). My puppy is so cute. I <3 my friends too....most of them. Though the ones I dont love anymore don't seem to care either. So I guess it all works out in the end.
-I miss Erik. A lot. So much. That is the main reason I don't like being home. Cuz he is really far away. And he is in Colorado right now skiing. I am jealous. I keep him.
-LONG LAKERS: I made a movie/slideshow-y thing for a class this semester. It's all about my growing up/life at LLC. I would love if you would watch it (that's what the music/song posts were about earlier). It's like 6:20 (min) so it's not all that long. There's over 200 photos, so be prepared for some memories...hopefully everyone will like it. Please ignore the last few seconds where I am talking. It's really cheesy but was a requirement of the project. The link is:

(give it a minute or two to load.)
(EDIT: Wow. I just watched the online version of it. That is not the perfect, final cut of that project. That was what was put up there cuz i had to get it done. If you REALLY want to see the final (very few changes, mostly timing and some at the end) I have it on DVD. I can try to make you a copy or something. Also, if you desparately want a copy of any of those photos, I have them ALL on my computer (and a few more) so let me know and I can send them to you.)
I think I'll quit at that. Before I lose it all again.
