well i've been so distracted that I can't even hardly bring myself to sit down and type to update my LJ.
I know it's terrible.
ADD is so bad I can't sit still long enough. WEll I can today.
So lots of stuff has happened, like my mom almost had a heart attack and when she went to the hospital, they found a brain tumor. Friggin yay.
So she's not very happy, they found stuff that they weren't looking for.
It's a good thing they found it though cuz it's small and they are gonna do radiation to make it shrink.
Meanwhile, Jim's grandma finds out the reason she shakes so much isn't because she's worried. It's because she has Parkinson's (or however you spell it). SO now I'm like freaking out, and Jim is too, cuz jim has these muscle twitches and stuff every now and then, so he thinks I'm gonna have a brain tumor and he's gonna have parkinson's disease. OY!
Basicly, things have been fairly good with Him and myself, except our job is like hell. it's horrible in that place and we both want out. I've been sending my resume out to many many places since last year, (don't get me wrong there are only two times a year to send them out) I just started, last year I sent my resume to Chicopee for a music teaching job (one of the many places) and never heard a thing back.
THis year the position was in the paper again, so I sent it again, and wouldn't you know they sent me an application back. SOooooo I filled out the app right away, getting more excited. AND they called me this week, they wanna see me for and INTERVIEW!!! SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED. It's probably gonna be a shitty job like general music that I can't go for cuz stupid Dr. Rogers my professor didn't give my class any training for that. hardly. Besides I can't really play the piano that well, and I would need to be able to for that class. I'm afraid that this is what they are gonna ask me. But at least I can try.
SO things are looking even more up, my best friend and I have been thinking about getting a 2 family home together, which is awesome, but we can't get enough money really. She's been approved for a loan for quite a bit of money but it's tough to find a house for that cheap. Especially since we wouldn't want to just buy the house, we would want to renovate it and paint it how we wanted etc...
So we're gonna settle for just getting an apartment for now. I have to start saving my money big time.
If I get this new job I am SOOO moving out of this house. SO here's hoping!
On top of everything else, I am a regular member of the Marksmen Alumni Drum & Bugle Corps and now I've got a few of my friends to join too, which is awesome. But...the Targets Drum & Bugle corps is the local junior Corp that I used to compete against when I was in The Silver Knights Junior Drum & Bugle Corps. But since any of us with a brain, knew that Silver Knights was more torture than good, so we left the corps. Some of us went to the Targets, some of us to Spartans, and some of us were too old to be in Junior Corps anymore anyway. SOoooo one of the people that went into the Targets was my friend and co-worker Alicia. So her and I share stories and stuff every time we work together (which is only once a week cuz again my job BLOWS) So she's kept me pretty up to date about the Targets.
Now meanwhile I'm also still playing with the Westfield State College Wind Symphony with some of my old College friends. SO I see them, (one in particular stopped coming, claims he wasn't asked to come back.) But I kept in touch with him for a while, told him how I was in the Marksmen, cuz (He used to be in the Marksmen, WAYYYYYYYYYY back before I knew him or knew of him.) Huh Small world.
Anyway, I've gotten myself involved, (it's a closer friendship than it should be, I'll put it that way) but he's too stupid to remember that I told him I was in the Marksmen.
SO we go to do this parade for Memorial Day this past weekend. I knew Alicia was going to be there with the Targets, (I didn't know they'd be in the same parking lot but anyway) All of a sudden all these cars pull in one after the other, and I who do I see (or at least thought I was seeing) was my friend! (now mind you I hadn't seen him since November.) He has a brand new car, totally freaked me out! Holy crap man.
SO I throw my hat down, and go running over there "OH my GOD!" he gets out of the car, "HEY how's it going I didn't know you were with the Marksmen" (I wanted to slap him, cuz I told him I was last OCTOBER!) He had to go right away cuz they had to warm up the group etc... I ran over to Alicia and said "Alicia WHAT IS HE DOING WITH YOU GUYS?" She looked at me like I had 10 heads, "what do you mean, he's always been with us." I was like "UMMM, DO YOU KNOW WHO HE IS??? Only the guy I've been talking to you about at work all this time." SHe spun around so fast, eyes bugging out "YOU ARE SHITTING ME!!! NO WAY!!" I was like "YEAH!!! I Didn't know he was with you guys!!!" She goes "I will never look at him the same way again!" SO crazy, so needless to say, I touched base with him again before the parade started and after the parade, and then we hung out for a long time, he was all charming and sweet and funny all over again.
Messing with my head
Messing with my head
Messing with my head
So of course, what happens, it was like old times all over again. I was like NOOOOOOOO......No.....No.....I don't care......Forget it......stop asking.....No......No.....Ok fine....just this time.... (he knows me too well, I can't stand it)
I'm so weak. LOL
Just crazy blast from the past, I had to share it with you. It's like now since I thought I was kinda rid of him forever, (haha) now he's back into the loop cuz he's with the Targets when one of the reps for the Targets asked me to be their horn instructor or come and help out at least, then I find out my old friend is their new instructor, I felt like saying "if you would stop invading my territory we wouldn't keep running into each other like this" (he's such a pain in my ass)
LOL
Till Later......
