So... I've returned to LJ with lots of Writer's Block question-answers and more excuse-making about why I don't post. In part tumblr has become very addictive, in part I've started actually reading books on a regular basis again (what?), and in part vacation was too much fun and then work was too energy-consuming.

Anyway. Short update: we're going ( Read more... )

My grandparents were all here for the first ten days I was home, so I was sleeping in the basement. For the last week, I've been in my own bed again, although tonight might see me move back down. It's so friggin' hot. Cleveland weather, man. Multiple personalities, can't ever decide...

Sadface... Sam didn't like my idea (Goodbye) for the senior show, so she got everyone else to agree on something else. Get Your Groove On or something like that? And we're resurrecting Don't Stop Believing. Not sure how I feel about that. I think resurrecting pieces is dumb, but whatever. The other pieces are Thriller (cuz it's on Halloween) and ( Read more... )

yeesh, I never post on LJ anymore, either. I keep intending to. Sort of the way I keep intending to post to my (terrible) French blog thing at lang-8, only worse.

This year is so weird... I really like all my classes, and that's a good start. There are kids in so many of them, though, who I haven't had class with in years. It's bizarre, cuz I'm sort ( Read more... )

Well, OK, good things first. The meeting for the band trip was today!! I'm so excited. We're going to Milan, Venice, Innsbruck, Munich, and Salzburg. Apparently one of the piazzas in Italy(?) (Maybe Austria) where we might play was having renovation and they just found that there are a lot of old Roman artifacts underneath it. It's so cool. I'm ( Read more... )

Who knows how long it's been since the last time I posted here. I really want to pick this up again. So... let's start with today ( Read more... )

So today was the first day of band camp. :D I'm a squad leader too! :) One of the seniors quit, AND we have more horns than I thought (17!!!!), so it's me, the other juniors, and the senior. And somehow Melanie wound up in my squad again. YAYAYAYAYAY! We had so much fun ( Read more... )

( Now, who'd've thought that a month's worth of babbling would need a cut...? )

Good stuff first: Rafting was AWESOME! Camping was really fun, and I loved our group. I also loved running into Su, who randomly was at the next campsite over (!!). The Yough was COLD!!! But it was really really fun, and it was a weekend sans-family, so that was nice.

Ummmm...hmm. This was a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG week. Two random fire alarm things ( Read more... )

Ok, so... we'll get to my yucky day of school in a minute. First, all that's happened since I last wrote.

Mom's roomate and family were fun, good to hang out with, I'm glad they're gone... =P Band camp was...interesting. Not a huge fan of my squad, but I live. I didn't get squad leader; eh, whatever. Miriam, though is not playing (though she didn't ( Read more... )
