Chill Day, Set On Summer Mode

I'm definitely gonna eff up my audition tomorrow.. haha. Part of me has already given up on it and I still have like 20 seconds left to write. wamp. Today was chill. Church went by fact, as I allowed myself to drift into a continuous thread of thought about life. I reminisced on good and bad days, on good futures and bad. Something that urks me is that I went to church looking skinny, having not eaten. Then, after lunch, it goes all down hill from there. I still have not pooped yet and my stomach is bloated. I want to stay skinny all day! This afternoon I also went to the mall, after attempting to work on my audition piece. I finally got some B-cup bras, now that I actually measured myself! It does feel more fitting and comfortable, but it makes me a little sad to say I'm not a C-cup haha. I hemmed up some pants today, bought some nice tops, and the skirt I REALLY wanted. Yay for JC Penny. Thank God tomorrow is a delayed opening woot. Maybe I can work on my audition piece! Sike. Photo is of a square of sprinkles that made me happy. :D We bought 50 pc Munchkins on the way back from the mall.

Done

I'm so glad the season is over. We got 4th..Nutley dominated, but we really shouldnt fret because we actually had a good show. The guard came in 2nd place with a difference of .2 points. When I think about it, the guard has had a really good season, placement-wise as a separate section.

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

Monthary

I favor the idea of forgetting the events of earlier today during school. But story short, it involved uncalled for distance, feelings of being upset, and a shed of a couple tears on Rey's Eeyore plush. >.>

As for this afternoon, thing mended up. Even after period 12, my mind was still unsettled. I skipped the guard's ice cream party to be with you. That decision was a very easy one because I needed to know what was going on and hey, I'd rather be with you on any Friday, and especially this one in particular. I'm not such a sucker for dates, but as of today, we've been together for a month. =] It really had been an amazing month being able to spend every day with you, minus those dreaded weekends! Some days weren't the best, but it all molded together in the end into something better. Being able to lay with you somehow always makes my day 10x better, forgetting anything bad thats happened prior. I love you.

Like A Limp Koala

Happy Hump Day! XD Today was a pretty good day, nothing too bad happened. I love the second that the bell rings at 2:31PM. Getting through a whole day, I can now get my reward :D haha Spending time with him is what I look forward to every day, and it never disappoints me. Unfortunately, a friend of his was around, so we couldn't do much in the band room. It was still fun though.. I jumped onto his back and just hung there like a limp weight/koala. I don't usually feel comfortable jumping on people, because I'm too heavy for them to carry. In this case, Jacob didn't seem to have too much of a problem with me, it was shocking XD Rehearsal today was alright, just kind of boring. I absolutely love, though, how we have been sweating inside more than being outside. My gloves now have sweat blotches on it- quite attractive! As I talk to him now, it's getting really harder to wait for Friday. XD ..and yeah I know you're reading this. lol

"Run Until I Get Sick" My Ass!

Practice today was some kind of bullshit stunt pulled by our instructors. We practiced in the gym because we couldn't get the auditorium. Girls were constantly getting yelled at for timing issues, not doing the right work, or whatever reason PJ came up with. I don't know if he noticed, but to amplify any type of sound in a gym causes an echo. Therefore, girls in the back can't hear shiznit. I really feel bad for them, considering that Milenz had the nerve to tell us to take laps around gym until she got sick. We have no respect for her, under the fact that she tells us not to be lazy, as she sits down. (preferably with a bagel or some type of food in her mouth.) Previous to practice beginning, the girls found a volleyball and played around with the nice net. It was so fun! :D Hrmm..but I think the hours before that are what make up the highlight of my day. :] I hung out with Jacob the whole afternoon, sitting in the staircase, hoping no one would pass by. The track team was down the hall the whole time, so I got paranoid. haha goood day =D

BEST COLORGUARD IN NJ 09-10

Today was an extremely great turnout! Your 2009-10 USSBA Best Colorguard in the state, for the second year in the row, is your one and only Belleville! :D I'm so happy to know we came out strongest in the state, even with all my doubts on the line. When we got off the field, I didn't think that our show was the best it could've been. Although, when I looked over a recording of the show with Anna and Jaelynn, I was so proud of how we did! I guess the personal perspective of how we perform isn't always the same as how we are viewed from the audience. Unfortunately, our score dropped down like 4 points, but we can blame the drumline for that, who came in 8th place haha. We placed 4th out of 17 2A bands.. I personally think we could have gotten first, but once again, we look to the band about that. =P Guard gets a ice cream party woooot! XD

Pour Pour Pour

Woooot! Who the hell doesn't love the rain!? Actually, it was wasn't raining today at all! haha This morning, I woke up dreading the 10AM-6PM practice that awaited us all, today. To look on back on it now, I think today was crazily fun. But to ask me to do it again is a different story. For most of practice, the guard was idle, in their own world. It really isn't much fun when the band gets all of the attention, reworking sets and learning new drill. To be honest, much of the guard would prefer working our butts off in the rain in opposed to just standing in it. [On second thought, I actually do enjoy doing nothing!] The rain didn't really bother me at all..it only did when we came inside for lunch and I observed the damage! Soaked shoes/socks mixed with some good ol' mud, wet shorts and leggings, and wet tops for the win! At the end of the day, we did a full run through in the POURING rain. It was pure, utter fun- even though we all slipped around the mud and fell into puddles! I hope we do good tomorrow!! >.<

Her And Her Crippled Self

Good god. I just got through too much Chemistry homework for my own good. >.> Actually, it wasn't that much, and I got things done that aren't due until next week haha. This has been the first night in a while where I have actually done homework, or anything productive for that matter. I still have History, but let's not worry about that right now. =P Hrmm..sectionals today was a bit of a biznatch.. I really feel bad for the flagline for getting yelled at, but hey, they need to pull it together. Sabre was kind of slow for me today. I hadn't spun since..well Saturday actually and I couldn't toss right. For a while, my wrists felt alien to the motion of turning over fast. Oh well. I was exhausted afterwards and so walking back to the high school and getting locked out for a bit didn't make the guard feel any better. We called up Fabi to come open the door, her and her crippled self, and she decides to "fall to the ground" helplessly. It was funny, I will admit, but after a while I wanted her to come up and just open the damned door. Thanks Fabi. >.>

Early Delay

Talking to you right now is definitely making my night.. ;D


Today all juniors had PSAT's and so every other class had to report at 10:40AM. I was so relieved to find that out yesterday because it gave me the extra kind of sleep I kinda of needed. I woke up around 7:30, still groggy and unwilling to fully regain conscience. Having nothing else to do, I just got ready for the most part. Around 8:30AM I called him and we talked for a good hour. By 10AM it was time to hang up, because he had to take a shower and get ready for school. We met up at the highschool, which didn't open util 11:22AM. woot!The greatest thing about it was that this extra delay made the day go by extremely fast. =] Practice today went fairly well because for Jaelynn and I, sabre finally clicked. We actually understand all the work we're doing along with progress in our tosses. I'm feelin good!

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!

Still

So today I had practice from 10-1PM and practice actually went by faster than I had expected it to! It wasn't a hardcore practice or anything, but things definitely got done. Afterward, I hit it off to BK in Nutley with Joe, Fred, Jae, Ana, and Jonathan. We ate and what not, and then went to the park nearby. We literally stayed there for about 5 hours.. a lot of things can happen if five hours! For example, a bitchy mother can accuse you of detouring her childrens' playtime; you could get your phone stolen and find out that an 11 yr old girl in a pink shirt took it, while getting it back; and do various challenges of obstacles. From what I can add up, the day went good.


It's still wierd..I think about it in the shower and still try to convince myself that I'm not single.. I don't know.. the idea will hit me eventually and I'll be happy with it.

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

Just A Party!

So I am on my phone right now in feel of how tired today has made me. School itself was a long day. Afterwards, we had guard practice outside on the field. Many of us had not been aware, so we were all practicing in our school uniforms! It was horrible. The amount of sweat to begin with was already at a high and practice only made it worse. Just A Party was nonetheless fun, though! Mainly, I hung out with Abby and Fred [Jonathan]. Its nice to walk about all night with someone's arms around you, as well as your own around them.. fun haha. It was a pretty chill night. Not too many people were around, but we still made a good time out of it! Unlike other years, I personally wanted to come home around 9 because I was so tired and still had hw! So now as I lie here, I can sleep nicely, knowing I had a good day and hw is done. The only thing now is to look forward to tomorrow. XD woot. Bloomfield Game is coming up!

Rain Rain in Passaic

Today was our very first football game against Passaic. Of course we lost, but that was not the highlight of my day. It rained yesterday, during the game. I would've been bad enough to perform pregame and just sit in the stands in the rain, but guard had to practice first and second quarter. Then we ate. Our flags were soaked and no one wanted to be there. Its such a shame that we couldn't even get anything done. We couldn't even get through the first number! It was above all, ridiculous. After eating, we returned back to practice for the rest of the game. Egh.

After football games is always better. We all walked to Wendy's where we usually chill after games. We stayed about a couple of hours and it was pretty fun. A few messes were made, and everyone was arm-wrestling Jonathan. haha.. I ate from Fetus's frosty as well as Roland's. I'm such a fatty haha.

Peace Be With You - Amen

Hrm.. Sunday. I actually went to church t0day!! I hadn't gone for two weeks prior to that. Last week, I was too busy dying at my fathers company picnic, and the week before that I kind of just skipped out to go to Mt. Creek. hehe..


I really thought we were all going that morning. I was wrong. Apparently my parents got into a stupid argument whether or not my mom took a shower or not. It was like the biggest misunderstanding in the world, but whatever. My parents argue once in a while, but it usually settles down after a while. That morning only my sister and I attended church. As I sit there in the pew, I never really pay attention to the service. All I can ever really think about is new sabre work we learned. I go over it again and again, making sure I get it right. But what can I say? Catholic masses aren't the most exciting..
