(no subject)
I guess since colorguard has ruled my life since 2000, it's normal to think of my life in terms of seasons. Everything is thought of in terms of "band", "junior corps", "senior corps" and "winterguard seasons". And since 2000, I have barely missed a single season.

winter 06-light brigade
summer 06-bushwackers
fall 06-nothing......AHHHHH!
I'm excited, and yet sad and scared.
but yeah, i need the time off. my car is on its last leg and i really can't be driving all over the place anymore, and i don't have the money to spend on gas, tolls, and winterguard.
and since there's no place i'm itching to march (besides northeast independent,lol) i guess this fall is my break. i need to make money and not spend it all on guard.
I'm pretty excited about it actually. I'll get over the sadness-I mean if I go to a show, I'm sure i'll get a little bit overcome. But I'm looking forward to doing my subbing, doing more movies/shows, going into the city to visit Pris or maybe shop if I have some money, and having a social life on weekends. And I plan on staying with Bush......I am so happy there, it's ridiculous. They are truly a family (unless SOME places that say they are a family buuuuut aren't). I can't believe how fast this summer is going. I've been looking forward to Bush since the winter season started and now it's almost over. This summer is a collection of memories and stupid jokes....
Piss on my feet, it's like a hook, pocahontas, poke-a-cuntus, colors of the wind, steve rinda, shakira shakira, money bets, sea urchins, malibu, jeromes house (and his dog), crisco, extra virgin olive oil, jaws of life, halves (and eighths), why is she wearing a headband on her thigh?, titanic (eh!), writing stupid work, vocals, woo!, and so much more. Last weekends show in binghamton was crazy, with the rain. "don't worry guys-the rain is still northwest of us...it is NOT raining right now, I swear". "due to severe and dangerous weather conditions, we will allow Bush to continue with their performance on the field tonight". Fine-I dropped things that weren't even tosses and hit my tit and made the hornline laugh when I yelled "owww! my titty!"
Me and Johnny have kept in touch thru the summer. We exchange corps stories and keep each other amused. I'll be seeing him and the guard crew at Giant Stadium tomorrow.
Isn't it interesting how I go into things with expectations and things never turn out the way I expect? Not necessarily better or worse...just different. This is why I never overplan things....because they just don't always happen that way.
I only hope that when it's time, I can figure out what is right for me, and have the courage to make the decisions about what is right for me.
