The subject title, by the way, accurately describes the way marching band was today. I swear to God, Mrs. Kasel made us march for about an hour and a half straight. Not kidding. It was... actually, well, it wasn't all that bad, because we went down an entirely different street than we usually do, and it was nice to change it up a bit, AND it was ( Read more... )

Went to see Click with Molly O. last night, and it was pretty good. The best Adam Sandler movie I've seen in a while, anyway. And very heartwarming, of course. Awww. Afterwards, Molly and I headed out to that giant super-park that I told you we played on on Sunday, and we swung for a while and talked about books like the nerds we are. Then we ( Read more... )

What?! Happy birthday, starrynights75! Heart!

I really don't want to go to that parade today. It's going to be really, really hot. WHINE. I hate parades. Thursday's was fine. But boo, this is our hometown parade and it's always sucky because they just HAVE to hold it in the hottest part of the day. Way to go.

On the upside, bonfire at Tressa's tonight! Woot.

Marching band turned out good. I hated the bus ride, but then since that's probably the last time I'll ever actually ride a school bus for anything school related, s'okay. Also, we went shopping. I got a new purse. That I didn't need. BUT IT'S PRETTY SO WHATEVER ( Read more... )

I have a parade today. We leave at 12:30 this afternoon.

We get back about 1:00 tomorrow morning.

AAAGGHH.

In sharp contrast from last Wednesday, we totally kicked ass at the marching band competiton today. FIRST PLACE, BITCHES! Aren't you impressed? I bet you are. I bet you're going to be even more impressed when I tell you how many bands were being judged at said competition.

TWO.Oh, yeah, we rock hardcore. And even though, yes, there was only one ( Read more... )

Last night ended up being a whole hell of a lot more entertaining than it was supposed to be. I went in to take some pictures of the Legion baseball game for work, and then just as I was going home I spotted Molly and Colin walking around, waiting for Julia to get away from her meeting. So I totally pulled over and we sat and talked for about ever ( Read more... )

So, we kinda sucked ass tonight at the competition. No, seriously. We didn't even place, which was bad because we all know we're much better than the bands that beat us, but alas. According to Mrs. Vetsch, the majority of the time, we were pretty great. Except when we came up to the judging section the percussion messed up on the roll-off or ( Read more... )

Off to the first marching band competition of the season, wooo. Not that I'm harboring any fantasies of taking home the gold or anything ( Read more... )
