Red, the blood of angry men!
"Bullion" by Millencolin
Twenty one, feeling down
I tell you nothing with a thousand words
And I weaker get, with every step
I waste my money on compact disc’s and staly fish
I can’t remember the last time I did something that made
Me feel allright longer than a few hours
If I only had the strenght to make some muffins then I
Swear that I would share them with you now
Am I odd or am I not?
That’s a question I spend time analysing
I’m so soft, but still I’m not
Living up to what people want me to be
Cause I’m busy with me, myself and i
Can’t be understood by someone I don’t know to well
So I’m shutting out the whole world just to play nintendo
I’ve got these new games but I’m afraid you can’t join me
These last few years I’ve been strugglin
And I’m tired of keeping low profile
So now it’s time to show that I’m alive...
I’m gonna change my life, plans, vans
Even start to dance
Change my thoughts, sox, moves
Even my pro fighter q for you
Holding on...
So life's been pretty good. Last Friday was a school dance that I went to, and came out with more than I had planned ^-^. There was almost 40 people there, so the danced sucked. I really looked forward to seeing her there, because I at the very least knew I would be dancing. Turns out, the only other girl I would dance with was Angie Gaudette. Marie and I danced a real good majority of the dance, and towards the end I finally asked her out. I guess I had just been afraid of seeing who she was, or scared of another relationship. In the end, I figured "why the hell not," and I asked her. Of course (and much to my delight,) she said yes. No sooner than 5 minutes later the gum I had been chewing all that night got stuck in her hair...I had been talking in her ear, and I guess some of her hair got caught in the gum, and out it came. That'll be something I remember. Marie is an awesome person, it turns out. We're still shy around each other, I think, since talking isn't our strongest point, but it's becoming easier, I think.
So the next day was the beginning of the choir trip to Boston to compete. I sat next to Marie up and back from Boston on the charter bus, and it was nice. We left at 10:00 from the High School and arrived at around 1 or 2 at the school we were to be competing at. After getting our tuxes, Sam and I soon found out to our horror that we were missing a cumberbun. Frantic searching revealed that Andy Smith grabbed one of ours by mistake, and his was still in his bag. During the competition, I thought we did really well. We got done singing at around 4:30-5, and we then proceeded to our hotel in Framingham. It was pretty sick, if you ask me. My roomates were Sam and Ryan Barley. We drank coffee, like the cool cats we are, and watched boxing. For dinner, the choir participated in a fun "mystery dinner" thing. It was like a "battle of the bands" between all the tables, and we had to compete against each other. With Ryan Barley, Arielle Rollins, Stephanie Morgan, Sam, Marie, Kristie Wortman, Grace Gamble, Pat McMahon and myself at one table, we were unbeatable. "Lenin & The Bolsheviks" was our band name, and we won the competition. Hooray! At awards the next day, we won 1st place in Mixed Choir A-Division and in Show Choir, took 2nd place in Women's Choir, and 3rd place in Madrigal Choir. We also took home the esteemed Esprit-de-corps, which was awesome. And I say BAH to Edison High School, those arrogant sons of bitches.
So this week in school was nothing special. The track meet against Minnechaug was rained out. I took the AP US History Exam on Friday, which sucked. The essays weren't hard, but I think the multiple choice killed me. Oh well.
On Thursday I went with Sam to see "Les Miserables" performed by WHS. I got Marie flowers, which I hoped she liked. She did AMAZING. She played Gavroche, a little boy that is killed aiding the rebels. I cried on certain parts of the musical. It was very emotional. For some reason I felt for the rebel's struggle, and felt true empathy for all the unfortunate things that happened to the characters. It was well acted, and since watching it I have fallen in love with Les Mis. I am really considering going out for the musical next year instead of doing outdoor track...we'll see.
Went to my little cousin's First Communion yesterday. It was good. She's growing up wicked fast. Went to Bertuccis' after and had pizza. Yum.
I am really, really, REALLY starting to like Marie. We went to the movies today and say "The Benchwarmers," which wasn't so bad. After that we played air hockey...the first game she beat me 7-0, and the second game I beat her 7-4. She's good. Good looking, that is ;)
Track meet tomorrow. :(
