Somebody shoot me while I'm happy!
Why yes, I am reading Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut. That and "Ting-a-ling!" are now permanent parts of my lexicon.
So, today was a tad freaky. Had a school-wide blackout in third hour, which means I got to panic like mad in a dark, noisy band room. It was odd, yeah, but it was cool, I have to admit. The lights flickered on and off for a bit, and everybody in the school had a big WTF? moment.
Now I get to the point of my post. After the lights came back on, we watched the tape of our Valhalla performances (second place in finals! w00tage!) to see what we need to fix. Matt and Teresa, the Sock Puppet Couple (since they're constantly all over each other like Mophie and Hubert), were sleeping smack next to each other in the middle of the percussion section, still all over each other. Taylor had an empty juice bottle, so Sorensen flicked the remnants at Teresa. She got pissed, but they deserve it because they never work at all. So Sorensen continues, foul language was spewed, and everyone in Pitt had a good chuckle because we all hate them.
Going off on a tangent, Hilary went splodey at Teresa and kicked her in the shins twice at Valhalla because the Sock Puppet Couple didn't unload the trailer OR load the truck. If you can get Hilary to go splodey, then dammit all, you deserve whatever she gives you.
So, anyway, bell rings, I dash out to go to shove food in my face for A lunch. Apparently, while I was fiddling with my locker, Matt (a HUGE guy) shoved Anthony (a skinny, lanky tall dude), who didn't even do ANYTHING to Matt or Teresa, into the wall. We're not talking "Walk past you in the hall and sorta push on you"-shove, we're talking "I'm gonna mug, kill, and/or rape you!"-shove.
Anthony tells Mr. Fenn, and I know Fenn's not all that watchful over struggles in the Pitt, but when it comes to actual violence, I'm really not sure. If he reports it, which is school policy, Matt goes to juvy for a bit, and might get kicked out of band.
FIESTA!

Suffice to say, if he does, Pitt's going to hold a going-away/good riddance party in Matt's "honor."
*"Scampi" marches* I really hope he leaves. Really, really hope.
Oh, yeah, Thom's back from the funeral, and everything's peachy.
