Your voice has quite a bit of win, you should consider doing radio.

But i don't have one :(

As I Am - Dream Theater

Sounds either really awesome or really gay. It's really awesome. Mainly because band kids at my school are [bleep]ing insane. VIDEO. When I get my new iPod Nano (*flame shield on*) in a few weeks or so ill probably take a reeeeeeeeeeally [cabbage]ty video and post it up here for you guys.

Sounds either really awesome or really gay. It's really awesome. Mainly because band kids at my school are [bleep]ing insane.

So starting tomorrow, we kick off band season with our first performance and the rest of the week and continuing on till December is going to be insanely hectic! Let's start off with tomorrow, shall we? Wednesday: Band Extravaganza Urgh, I hate Extravaganza! Here's the rundown, we get out of school at 2:40 (as opposed to the usual time of 3:30 where band practice usually extends to, today we get out with the rest of the school). Our call time is to be there at 5. It isn't worth going home for barely two hours, so me and a few friends and maybe my girlfriend (if her parents let her, they're very strict) will stay after school and hang out. Let me get a little off topic here and describe the process of staying after schoo. My band director leaves about 30 minutes after school/band ends depending on when we get out, and he locks up the band room, which is essentially the haven of all band kids (pretty much our second home), until he returns. We have one extremely stealthy person stay after (usually the same guy, Cody). and he hides in the Bari sax locker (ITS HUGE!) in the locker room while the band director locks up and shuts off the lights, etc. A few minutes later he'll come out and let us into the band room. We then hang out in there, go into the locker room and watch a movie or something (we have a hole int he wall that we run extension cords through). We have to be pretty quiet usually because the janitor comes and cleans randomly, and we either get a really cool dude who doesn't care or this [bleep] who kicks us out every time. So yeah, we either end up doing this or we walk down to the local plaza and grab some food and hang out. So, back on to Extravaganza, yes? We get into uniforms and go there, the middle schools play some lame songs, and then all of us high schools march our shows, basically showing off what we've done this year. It's utterly pointless and just gives bragging rights. Last year, a school by ours, North High, announced that they were taking a trip to China what must have been five times, it became a band meme, so to call it, after that. Thursday: Thursday Night Rehearsal Oh yes, Thursday Night Rehearsals! These are actually quite fun, and many many adventures come from these. To name a few, i've gotten flipped off by a radical Christian girl of about 5 years old, we stole a homeless mans sign (which now lies in the trophy case in a high spot of honor, with our championship plaques), i've puked my brains out all over a security guard who threatened to kick us out of the plaza, and had an epic hula hoop battle which ended with a friend of mine getting some hand injuries. And that's just this year so far! Basically, we get out at 2:40 after having two band periods to do homework in (cause the rest of our night is gone to band, so we have now to do homework.) We show up at 6 and have rehearsal to 9, although its usually pretty fun. Same shenanigans as usually ensue in waiting time, none of us usually end up going home. Plus during rehearsal our really cool instructor comes and we end up usually spending the first half of it playing team-building games and having section march-offs and drill-downs. Friday: Football Game :( Eww, football games! I really dont need to go too much into detail here. Same shenanigans ensue until call time at around 5, and then we go to the game. oh wait, there is something I can add! On the way to these things, we have "Silent bus" where we are supposed to not talk and think about the coming performance (either halftime for games or the actually performance for field shows). Well last year, a friend of mine Marc sat to another, Matt "hey, what if you just shouted something reeeeally loud right now?" and without missing a beat he yells out "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?", and we're on my band directors bus! Well he stops the bus and comes back to "investigate" which means walking down the aisle looking for someone looking guilty. Now this guy Cody (the sneaky guy) is sitting there completely out of his uniform listening to music with his girlfriend lying on top of him. The band director just stared at him as he slowly got back dressed and put away his iPod :XD: Saturday: First Field Show! (Competition for Marching Band) Oh, I love field shows!! Here's the rundown: we ge out to school at about 2pm ish and rehearse for 2 hours or so. then we go to the band room where all the band mommies provide us with food and soda<3:. We chill for a while, get dressed, and have a long [wagon] bus ride over to the school where we'll have the competition (usually an hour away or so.) It is supposed to be silent bus, but it's only enforced on my band directors bus (he gets on the first one, we have 4.) Last year every once in a while i would end up on bus 1 cause seats got taken quick (we got dismissed by class, I was a sophomore.) But this year i dont, im a junior, and my girlfriend who is a senior saves me a seat :) . So we get to do whatever for a bus ride the whole way there (trust me, band bus rides never have a dull moment on them.) Then we warm up for an hour or two and then perform, which is always a blast!! We then head into the stands for watching the rest of the bands perform, wait 30 minutes or so, and then have a long awards ceremony before a long [wagon] bus ride home. We end up getting home at like 1am usually. Field shows are so amazing! tl;dr, i'm essentially living at my school from tomorrow till Sunday, in a nutshell. Only difference from last year is, this time I have a girlfriend there with me the whole time :twss: So i'll probably post a new blog after these band things go down, and to tell of the epic adventure im sure to have on Thursday! Until next time, thanks for reading :D

I view it as just practice. It gets you prepared for the SAT by knowing what you need to study, so you can do good on THAT. I'm taking my PSAT Saturday.

My school decided to upgrade from their old Windows '95 running dinosaurs and purchase a ton of new computers for the library and computer lab this year. they ended up buying crappy Gateways (at least they have XP) but then we have OpenOffice on them too, and it is horrid. I feel your pain.

Well, in band we have a locker room. In this locker room we can run an extension cord through a hole in the wall, and shut off the lights. Now with this odd assortment of band kids, an extension cord, a strobe light, and amp, and an iPod with a [cabbage]-ton of techno, we have locker room raves quite frequently (almost every lunch). Well, "straightedge" raves (no drugs or drinking of any sort).

i'll admit, i get a great sense of pride in seeing that 99 next to the skill icon and the sense of accomplishment is the main reason I go for 99s, although I do love skillcapes (I can't even stand wearing regular capes nowadays, I like the look of skillcapes too much.) I currently have Cooking and Quest Point capes, but hopefully they will be joined soon by Firemaking and maybe I'll get Magic someday (i'm content at 94). However, 99 parties are pathetic. I actually laugh out loud when i see people at the GE telling people "folo for 99 fletch!!!@!@!@" I had one good friend with me for 99 Cooking because he wanted to see me get it, and I didn't even tell anyone i got all quests finished except for a "Woot all quests done!" in clan chat. I don't ever plan to have a 99 party.

OT: I just learned that QFT means quoted for truth, for some reason I thought it meant Quit [bleep]ing Talking for the longest while :/ 6:00 - Dream Theater

Today was a very lazy day, so ill tell my yesterday since i didnt get a chance to. It was Homecoming, so I had to be at school at 8:15 to get ready to march the parade. That was over at about 10:30, so me and my gf hung out the rest of the day till the call time for the game at 5:30. It was really nice, considering we dont get to spend much time together during school weeks and weekends shes busy so this was the first time where we spent all day together :) Now, im my gf's first boyfriend and she hadn't had her first kiss yet (we've been together a little over two weeks) and I didn't want it to be by other people, just us two, which we have never had the chance to yet.. So while we were on the bus over to the game, after sitting there holding her for a bit i just looked at her and said "Hey" and leaned in and kissed her. It was Han Solo cool status :cool: . I didn't get to sit by her during the game cause we have to sit in instrument sections, but I looked over periodically and she didn't lose her smile the entire night.<3: all in all, yesterday was a fantastic day.

I dont generally even look at post count. Hell, almost half of mine is from What Are You Listening to Right Now? over in MM&T :XD:

The Best of Time - Dream Theater

Same thing here. My school keeps promoting some thing like "your parents need to be interactive and involved deeply with your life". [cabbage], I love that they don't interfere with mostly anything. At most, they'll ask like "How are your grades?" or "you got a girlfriend?" once every few months. It isn't that they dont care, its that they let me do my own thing and they do theirs. Although i took piano lessons by choice, but then quit cause i hated piano. as much as i would love to be good, i suck at it :(

that's a really cool picture! :o
