Hello Again!
I'm here again! Wow, it's been awhile since I last updated my LJ. It looks so...dangerous and new-fangled!
School is out for me! Actually for about two weeks now. In that time I've gone to Pittsburgh for the Lion's Den state band clinic and started college already! Woot! Yup. I'm taking Calc-2 this summer so I can go out and beyond during the school year. Let's here it for living in a college town and taking classes on campus. *cheers*
Nifty look statue on the Pitt State campus. It reminded me of Thien....but Thien with a bong more or less....
The people at the clinic on the last day in our "issued uniforms". Good size camp.
Two fat guys...both played tenor saxophone. Billy-bob (on the left) looks a little too joyous about this situation.
This is Ginger. She kicks ass on her clarinet, but the odd thing is....she is the female version of Alex Chicks, I kid you not! Acts exactly like him, scary it was.
Never got her name, but damn that's a pretty horn! I dubbed her Strawberry.
Pheral, pronounced p'rele. Not a teriffic horn player, but ask him to quote any movie, especially Anchorman, and he will do it for you.
::Pheral, where are you?
::"I'm in a glass case of emotion!!::
People about to do our jazz band show::left to right:: (Kayla Houghton, me!, DP, Carmon, Kenny Turner)
Everyone in jazz band had a nickname. Mine were "Pretty Boy" and "Gravy". Pretty Boy because of my silver horns...and don't..*coughcough*, ask about the other one...*cough*.
JESUS!!!! literally!
Story time. Jesus, one of our staff people, was told at the bigging of the camp that if we could get 180 signatures (out of the 290 people there) that he would have to shave his beard. He agreed because he thought they'd never get 180 sigs. They got 243! So on the last night there he sat in the middle of the commons area and shaved his beard for us. This caused a huge party in which the chapps eventually gave up trying to control. Was one crazy ass night.
Look at the difference it made in his! Since he no longer looks like Jesus he has been demoted to the Apostle Andrew, which is his actual name. Convient I feel.
Happy trip! I'm definantly going back next year. My camp shirt (the one Andrew is wearing in the above picture) is covered on signatures from people.
In other news I have a summer job. I work at a buffet called Serloin Stockade. I'm a disher/Show Griller. When I have to dish it sucks. Very, very shitty job. But Show Grilling is extremely fun. I get to stand in the main part of the restaurant and cook a bunch of food. It's good stuff I feel.
As for the rest of summer I go to be an ambassador at the K-State music clinic next week. I get to stay in the dorms for that week. *cheer* Then there's a bunch of jazz band stuff during the summer leading up to band camp for high school. The thought of being able to come back to TN is off now. The only week I could have possibly come back is now my band camp week. And the week after that, which I could come, is the beginning of TN people's school year. *sob* I'm hoping to come back during winter break if my parentals will let me.
Other meaningless updates is my music collection has grown emencely. I have 600+ CD's now. Everything from Dropkick Murphys to 50 Cent to Furi Kuri. I still like Linkin Park and Godsmack though. The new Tool CD 10,000 Days wasn't half bad either.
-Next year I'll be the drum major for the marching band along with three others. It's going ot be a crazy ass year since our band director has basically left it in the hands of the kids who have no idea what we're doing. GAH!
Think this entry is long enough yet?
There is my update for the moment. I can't think of anything else that needs mentioning. Either way- take care of yourselves and don't get arrested!
Loo-loo-loo I've got some apples
Loo-loo-loo you've got some too
Loo-loo-loo I've got some apples
Everyone just loo-loo-loo!
