5 Dozen Cookies Ready To Be Served

Words can't express how happy I was to have a day without rain..just kidding, I was just simply happy. Last night, I baked about 5 dozen cookies for the love and he actually got to come over for a little bit to have some. I was a little irritated in the morning when it came to waiting another hour for him to leave because frankly, I just wanted to be be with him as soon as my eyes cracked open. Later, we rode back to his place, where we parted ways for the rest of the week. He leaves for Virginia Beach tomorrow and the thought of him not being around makes me not want to wake up or do anything tomorrow or the next day. But life goes on right? Upon leaving, he gave me the Munny he bought for me, something I've always wanted, wrapped so creatively in an Urban Outfitters bag. It made me love the gift even more. I gently untaped it to get to the gift, preserving the unique wrapping. It inspires me to make a bag out of it :D Photo is of the cheap, crappy, $5 speakers I painted over tonight. My artistic abilities sparked again.

Tagging With Someone New

It was a dumb move for my to go to bed last night at 2AM. This morning I stayed in bed right up until 8:47AM. Then, I got up and actually got ready for Tag Day at 9AM. If it's something that I don't have to be exactly on time for, then I'm going to take my sweet time getting ready :) As it turns out, my partner Shakeera didn't come by til a half hour later. This was my first time tagging with someone other than the usual little group of mine, and it actually wasn't bad. It was fun tagging with Shakeera, but it was so cold and windy! Where you stand around with a container in your hand just asking for money, time goes by at the slowest rate possible. For some reason, putting a smile on and acting cute gets you more donations :D Hmm, it must be the attraction to pedophiles. Other than tagging, I came home with the urge to go to the mall unfulfilled. My family is very low on money, so I guess it's understandable. I ended up experimenting with the new UO catalog I got the otherday. I started working on a piece strictly using colored pencils- no pencil at all. I think it's decent. I kind of messed up the eyes, but I still have to finish up tomorrow. Gotta get those beautiful flowers in! Photo is of just that.

Naive Teen

In person, today was amazing. It's like we never have jazz band! haha.. my heart lifts up upon hearing this because it just means another day I can spend with the love of my life. We hung out and finished the movie from Friday. Then, we walked to Wendy's for some fooood! Unfortunately after that, we had to part ways. From then on to about an hour ago, there was this weird vibe in our texts that made me feel like you didn't care. As it may seem, texts do what we truly mean no justice at all. I can't stand just texting you anymore. It's not enough. I need to be with you in person for every second of the day. I'm addicted. Photo's of amazing, heart-shaped rice crispies that Ana made!! :D They were delicious :)

"It's All About Imperfections"

I guess today was good. The school day itself was good, except a certain someone doesn't have the phone to text.. I feel like half my life is missing during the day when I can't sneak my phone out to see if I have any new texts! Hrmm..I'm kind of disliking jazz band right now..all I do is sit and play my part, and text. I mean, it's great, but I wish I was more involved. Because leave me alone to ponder and think, and you will get a sad Staph. She will think to hard into life and the fringe at the piano will irritate her more. I'm getting over it..I'm just not there yet. I tried to nap away stupid emotions, but I ended up painting. I can't argue it, though. It's all I know to do.

Incapable

So the good news all of today had to be the fact that you are coming tomorrow. I've already said so, but I don't know how I last the three days without you! As I brush my teeth now, I hold up my eyelids to prevent them from shutting tight. I'm not sure why, but I've been quite tired today. In school, I began to feel fatigue so I laid my head down for a couple periods. Sleep is something i need to catch up with, along with my grades. >.> Tonight, we had the minor parade up to the Rec house for the tree lighting, litereally 2 blocks away, and I just wanted to get it over with. Band season is over, and I'm pretty much done for the '09 season. I am incapable of working hard anymore and just want to relax with people I love.

First Time In a Good While Really Just Means A Week

-tries to breathe through nose- ..soooo..I'm freaking congested as fack >.> I'm not even sick, which make the idea of it odd. Maybe I'm on the verge of getting sick; who knows?

Today was a really good day :D Full band period two right before Wind Ensemble was like a blessing lol. Hrmm.. but I think most credit goes to the 4-5 minutes inbetween. As soon as certain people left, some kisses filled in the gaps. My smile grew brighter and brighter with each one. A hug from behind, a slap to the face, hitting with the vibraphone mallets- we are so violent. >.> I wouldn't be surprised if bruises start forming after a while; maybe even right now lol. Also, after school was the first time in a good while that we got to spend time alone together. Just sitting in the staircase, escaping all the chaos of the band room; it feels so nice especially because I am with you. Oh how I wish it were Friday right now.

Nah-shuh-nahlls, baby!

So I really can't believe that I got through today's rehearsal. 9AM-5PM is a pretty long time period! It's such a good feeling to know that your whole band is in a good spot for Nationals tomorrow. :D I want to dominate, and simply do the best we can give to an entire stadium. I think something that pulled me through today was the lovely hour 45 minutes from 12PM-12:45PM of being with you for lunch. Going to 7-11 for lunch is something I have never done, so you're my first. LOL. This is great haha. You're slurpee still looked like poop, btw. The taquito on the other hand, not so bad.. my domo cup was pretty amazing, if I may add :D

Millburn

Happy Halloween,world! :D And for those of you who don't celebrate, then uh..no greeting for you xD Being able to wake up at 830 is always a blessing, compared to competition days where we are forced to wake up at 7AM. blehhh I love practicing with the band, cus for the two hours of practice today, we basically BSed on the field the field the whole time- quite funny, especially when you're standing next to Jaelynn xD I swear, we are the two most retarded people in the world- I love it! :D As for the game this afternoon, I was basically tired the whole day. I slept on the way there and was just out of it for the first half. We met their other band during 3rd quarter; they were so damned wierd! One girl got Jae's number because they exchanged ringtones. It was hilarious that she texted Jae asking if it was okay that she gave her number to another person who asked for it. Also, the girl kept following her around and we continued to run away! I was also at the table making coffee with Shalier, and all of a sudden, a group of about 6 guys huddles around me as if they all wanted coffee. >.> Thats why one of them was behind me and reaching alll the way around to grab a cup. I was freaking out, in a funny way, and Jaelynn pulled me out of the crowd. We determined that it was time to walk away because that DEFINITELY wasn't wierd at all >.> Millburn kids are so white and wierd. >.> haha

Montville 79.8

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. VANGELDREN!!!!! :D

Hrmm today was a pretty long day.. it was a good one, too, though! Unfortunately I had to wake up at like 8:30 because report time to the high school was 10AM. We practiced from 10 - 1:30PM and I'm really proud to say that I somewhat enjoyed it.. I think I had a little sarcasm in me that pulled me through- in the way that I was hyper and didn't care enough to brood. When we earned ourselves two laps for not listening to directions, I gladly ran them laps! I endured pretty well, if I may add! After surviving practice, we actually had enough free time to get ready and eat. During warm-up, the guard wasn' having the greatest time because we had just learned the opening and closer dances that morning! Tosses weren't being caught correctly and some of us were having issues with our dresses. The custume is very lengthy and it gets in the way a lot :( However, our show was veryy good! I will specifically say that it was very good confidence- wise. Personally, I was strong about about 98% of the show! Whether I messed up or not, I kept on pushing! I like where we are right now, because some of the girls are finally understanding how to perform! woot! go team haha We ended up getting 3rd out of 3, but at the same time, we would have executed competition, had there been any. The two bands before us who won were Morris Knolls and Morris Hills, who are both open bands. So technically, WE WON. haha

Sixteen Candles

Goodness! I'm so tired! As I stare at the keyboard to type this, my contacts dry up and so I blink to relief the uncomfort. Today we experienced quite a romantic scene.. As I walked with you to the front from the band room, we kissed our regrettable goodbyes. As we listened to the empty halls, the janitors were working in the front lobby blasting some music. It wasn't blaring, loud, obnoxious music; it was something less. We laughed and listened more closely, realizing that we were kissing to "Sixteen Candles". We continued to do so, and it was almost like we were slow dancing, as we took our tiny steps, nearing the front door. I grasped your face and pulled in for another kiss, reluctant to really say goodbye for the day. Finally, we parted ways and I was walking back to the band room with cheeks flushed red. That moment made my day. We anticipate tomorrow, which is a half day, when we can hang out once again. :) btw..Khate has a drawing of herself in her wallet; it's so cute ! XD

Sewwwww

Today was a good day.. :) well, moreover, the night was pretty up there. The day itself was just sectionals, so nothing too crazy. We went over the new work learned from the previous night and then everyone got tested on the 3rd number. That was kind of funny.. I know what it feels like to be a first year and have to do a run-though on your own.. XD it's pretty nerve wrecking, not going to lie! Most of the rookies forgot the work out of nervousness, winning themselve a couple laps around the bus route.

My night was a pretty decent one. I tried to do homework, which overall failed, but I also tried to get Sison's pants done. As I've done mine, I'm hemming in people's uniform pants to fit nicely like skinnies. I havent asked for money because I think I still suck and these are my friends, so no charge! I kind of effed her pants, so I'll fix that tomorrow night. ANYWAYS, after that, I had a good 48 minute conversation with him.. :) I feel really grateful to have someone like him because as tired as he may be, there was that little sacrifice to stay up with me. I told him not to, but he insisted. =P Nights like this are what I love.

Spark It Up

As far as this Tuesday went, I had 6-8 practice. I really dislike having it so late, because I'm just too tired to do anything by then. Hrmm..we learned flag work for the third number- FINALLY. We have been workless for way too long!

School has really been getting to me lately. Its more of the fact that I don't care, really. I have a test this coming Wednesday on a novel that my English teacher handed out farrrr in the beginning of the year. From all my efforts, I am currently on page 41. I plan to read Sparknotes, but that will probably fail anyway. I'm so lazy. :D

Oh Sunday

Sundays can be such a bore sometimes. Church isn't very exciting, so that doesn't help. After church, I ended up being the only one awake in my family. I needed some make-up such as eye shadow and eyeliner for marching band, so I decided to leave on my own to Stop & Shop. I was upset to find that they didn't have the right shades that I need and so I left. I didn't want to come home empty handed, as so being the money-spending addict, I just decided to pass by McDonald's and get a $1 Sweet Tea. It was pretty good, not gonna lie. :D But I think I'm forming another cavity on my top right. D: Oh well. Thats life. That Sunday I also went to Walgreens with my father to get the makeup that I actually needed and to develop some pictures. This one here, was one of them.

To The Buses

Today was our second competition held at South Brunswick. Our performance was not so great and the rain attacked tonight. We got changed and ate after the performance and headed to the bleachers to watch the rest of the show. After two bands or so, the slight drizzling began to pour immensly. I watched for Mrs B or any Drum Majors to give orders because we definitely were not going to sit in the pouring rain. Me and Jaelynn, for one, could've sworn to have heard Mrs. B say, "To the buses". At that I followed the crowd which was leading back the other way to the entrance. With about half the band running back to the buses I get a phonecall from Jae saying how much trouble half us are in. She was under the bleachers with the rest of the band. Immediately, I got pissed off. I was more mad of the fact that she may have given two distinct orders and if anything, one right after the other. Many of us only heard one. It upsets me that she was furious with us in result of one of the biggest misunderstandings ever. The rest of the band met up with us and Mrs. B basically scolded us. No one was willing to stand up and say what we thuoght when she asked if anyone heard her give the order "To the buses". Uh..I text Jacob the whole time, so that made me feel better XD. At awards, we were not allowed to cheer. We got 5th out of 6 lmfao haha. failure. I do want to have a decent season, but right now its not working out. The ride back to the highschool was good. I talked on the phone for a little bit with Jacob and then moved a couple seats up to chill with Ana and Roland. :D I like the middle of the bus.

BBBBBBEEELLVILLE HIGH SCHOOLLL MARCHINGG BANND!!

Today Belleville had its first competition of the season :D To be honest, it felt like a good one! [In my opinion at least] Unfortunately, we got 4th place out of 7 other bands [including Nutley >:0]. In turn, though, this simply acts as greater motivation to push ourselves and be amazing! The day was pretty long, too! Somehow, I had forced myself to wake up at 7AM and get ready. We practiced from 8:15AM-11AM. The practice felt really good and we were getting a lot done. The show itself was looking 10x better and everyone was excited. After wards, we had an hour or so to get food and come back to change and prepare. Jaelynn's friend, Erik, came along. I had never really got to talk to that kid, but I've realized that he's pretty cool. Apparently, he's coming to every competition, so this should be good lol. The bus ride was pretty fun.. After the show, we got back and I was BEAT. Unloading the truck, I still felt some energy flowing through, but I knew it was going to run dry soon. By the time I was at Maryanne's house with Ana and Jaelynn, I was dead tired. It might've been the Jolt I had that day..lmao. I was so pumped that day though..it got me hoping for next weekend to come a little bit faster! South Brunswick, here we come!

Initiative

Take the initiative to fix a problem. That is what I did tonight. When we tried to hang out today, it just wasn't feeling right. So I called you tonight and we talked it out; complications were brought to common undstanding, and I know where your heart is.

Goodness, will Belleville band ever have a good football game?! Tonight we versed against West Essex HS and the visit was horrible. The opposing city was so rude. As we marched by in our blue block, "Boo's" were being thrown out from the bleachers as well as a half-full can of Arizona Iced Tea. Prior to the game, it was announced that their band was treating us to a snack and drink during the third quarter to socialize as well. third quarter came around and by that time, Mrs. B couldn't take it anymore. Our plan was to eat their food and leave. A little bit of socializing did take place, but so did a lot of controversy! People from the bleachers would pass by as we walked, purposely shoving into us and acting smart. Its so funny how people can be so immature!

Plain

Band today was as usual: the guard does nothing while we all learn new drill. Its so amazing how me and Jaelynn can come up with some of the most randomest tricks out on the field. We made up to flips and will probably be making more! My feelings were still uneven.

Where's My Doubt At Now?

My feelings between this morning and tonight, right now, have a bigger difference. This morning, my doubts were at a greater high than the day before. I wasn't sure if I was enjoying this or if I should just drop it. Throughout the day I have talked to various, various people about it and have gotten some terms settled. As far as I'm concerned, things should be taken slow right now if I want to make the best out of this. Anyways, today I tagged in Clifton with Rey, Ana, and Jaelynn. I love this group. We stood outside Stop&Shop about a half hour earlier than we were supposed to and ended up making a load of money!! Time went by faster as we greeted people, cracked jokes, sang, and begged. We learned that Clifton people can be rude jerks! It's quite worse than how Nutley treats us! GAWD. rude. As for this upcoming week, I can beg all I want, and I will still have to endure through school. It's so boring, but what can we do? Oh, and Hi, Michael. lmfao.

So We Lost - What Else Is New?

Belleville against Bloomfield today..we lost. ofcourse. haha

The day was quite interesting.. I wasn't sure if I felt pissed off or happy by the end of it. I was very content at the football game because it is my favorite out of all of them. I know so many people from there that it brings a good feeling to see a lot of familiar faces. I sort of got pissed off at myself because of our performance, but what the hell. It's just a football game. I'll work harder this upcoming week. Our first competition is next Saturday! Oh goodness! Feelings of a controversial happiness came over me, as we got back from the game. Questions were being asked and things were being assumed. It was sort of funny. Oh, here's somehting from Per 1 Health Class. haha

Helium Highs

-is brushing teeth-

Wow. I can't believe I finished my homework early!! I started around 8 for some reason..It might be because I have no life. just kidding.

For the world's information, I do have a life. I spent the day after practice at Wendy's with Ana! haha We ate our little value menu meals and sucked on the helium of a select few balloons. [the ones we could get off the backs of chairs anyway] Recorded, we sounded like completely different people. Along with helium, is our declaration of seats. We officially own one of the booths due to our markings on the table, by accident. We used sharpie on the balloons to draw faces, and it didn't like to dry. Therefore, what ever surface it came in contact with, the ink smudged on. By the time we left, we were responsible for various black splotches all over the table. OH. There's some girl there now, dressed as Wendy. She laughed at us while we sucked on helium and gave us little mints. She also provided us with our own balloons! :D

In school, I took over the board and recreated some of Natalie Dee's hilarious works!
