So I think the reason I've been neglecting to post was a) because I was busy and b) because I don't think the name suits me any longer. I will now be at [info]twilight_theif . That name fits me a lot better in my opinion. I'll see you all there eventually.

I can't believe how much I've missed marching and everyone involved in it!! I'm just in love with this sport-type thing!! And the video is looking fantastic!!! I can't wait to get and be like, "Hey! I remember that!" or "Oh shit that was hard!" Yeah...I'm really, really happy. *squeals*

I can't wait til January 7, 2007!!! New people, new memories, old kick ass staff!! And the Academy is Division 1!!! Can I get a "Hell Yeah!"? Now, there's no stopping us from placing third or up!! Well, except for the ticks, but we'll kill them if they mess up too horribly. But anyways... 2007 Blue Devils "B"!!! We're gonna own the competion!

All except not.

Ok. The reason why I haven't been in school for the past several days is because I've been feeling absolutely shitty. No duh right? Here's what's up:Read more... )
Today I went to see my doctor again. She says I look ok and that she was surprised about the whole UTI thing. My mom and her picked fun at me because I couldn't recognize the symptoms. Afterwards I told my mom that I didn't have the same ones as before and that shut her up. Right now my head feels really heavy and I feel lethargic, but I am feeling hungry, so that's a good sign. I'm not sure when I'll come back to school. If I feel up to it, maybe tomorrow. If not, who knows. Hopefully I won't miss anything too exciting.

If I have a class with you, I would appreciate homework and what we've been doing! I know no one in my chem class has Lj, so if any of you have Pang, I would like to hear about the confusing ramblings of the asian woman.

I miss you guys a lot!!

Damn my temper. Damn my mind. Damn the poison that is stuck inside me and hurts me every day making me harsh and uncaring. Damn me for making a mistake and hurting one of the best people I know.

So yeah. I'm here in Sacramento and I just realized how much I miss some people. I mean some of them I see during school, but I feel like I'm still missing a part of them. And then others I don't see at school and I feel like I'm missing a huge chunk of life. Not sure why I just got that over-whelming feeling, but I did. So yeah. I miss some of you a lot more than I should be right now.

Anyways. I've decided to stick with Spanish. It's a really fun class. I don't think my history teacher (Gale if anyone cares) likes me much because I like bring up contraversial subjects. Chemistry is going to be a slightly annoying class. Pang's accent is amusing. Biotech is fun with Ryan. We joke a lot. Miss Benemann doesn't bother me much (emotionally). I think she expects more of me though. English is awesome. My teacher (Cosca) likes talking about wars n' stuff so I think I'll enjoy his class. And math is fantastic. Leingang is the best as usual. Can't wait till he allows us to make brownies again.

So I'm at Meghan's house. We just watched "Kissing Jessica Stein" (sp?). It was a good movie. Good ending, too. I think I'll buy it. And I just realized how much I missed having Starbucks. It 's good.

Though I think most of you knew that.

I'll be back around the area on Monday. Maybe I can do something on Tuesday?

Meghan's dog Nessie likes me better! Ha!

So Miss Benemann is teaching us in biotech for the first 4 weeks. It sucks, but I have Ryan who will protect me. We shall play cards when we don't have work. Yay. God I have the worst of luck.

Other than that, all my classes are great. I'm seriosuly considering dropping Spanish 'cause I honestly don't think I can do it. I have to find a class to replace 3rd period since I like my schedule otherwise. I really hope I can find something. Psychologysounds fun, but I don't know. Whatever.

So yeah. There's a really cute girl in my chem and history class. I hope I get to know her eventually.

Blarg.

I'm Back!!
And I'm sick! Not fun, but whatever.

Tour was fricking rad. Loved it a lot. Meghan still let me flirt with her n' crap which was odd since half way through she started going out with a guy named Travis. Meh. Straight girls are weird like that. I hate the Academy. They should die. The judges for Division 1 should go fuck themselves since they screwed a lot of good corps for finals. It really ticked off a lot of people.

Yeah. Judges gave A-corps 3rd place after they we're in second and they dropped the Santa Clara Vanguard down too even though they had a fan-fricking-tastic show. Same with Carolina Crown. All the crowd favorites dropped. It made people boo the judges. It was bad.

I miss everyone. A lot. I'm having drum corps withdrawl. Oh well. I'll see most of them again. By the way, we got sixth with a score of 89.350 ish. It was an all-time high for B-Corps so everyone was really proud of us.

Hawaii was muy divertida. I found out that I can actually snorkel without a floaty thing and that made me less afraid of it. There were a lot of cute girls. Sadly they were straight. But hey, I knew that. Ummm... Food was good. Oh and staying in the ocean after your body starts saying it's cold is a really bad idea. *coughs* Yup. Bad idea.

But yeah. Muy divertida indeed!

I love being back home!!

So my show was shit. Like it really sucked. I swear that field sucks out every single ounce of energy you have. I was dizzy through out half the show. It was really scary. I hated it. Afterwards I wanted to go home, but my mom wanted to follow my dad home (he was driving the equipment truck). So I was really pissy. Yeah. But thankfully we did follow him home or else he probably would've been stuck. Yeah... It was interesting.

I can't believe I'm going to be gone for 3 weeks. It seems surreal. Once I get back, Blue Devils will be done. I can't believe it. It's going to be really sad. I may never see some people again. It's heart breaking. On the other hand, some people I really don't want to see ever again. *sigh* I can't imagine what it'll be like when I age out. I just know I'll be depressed.

I really hope we do well.

Hawaii should be fun. My sister's said they were going to take me places, so that should be cool. I can't wait to sleep 'cause they're going ot be working us in the Midwest.

Gah! Waking up hell of early tomorrow! I have to be at the Blue Devils Hall by 4:30. Damn flight leaving at 9:30 ish! Arg...

On a happy note, Garett is my bus partenr and he gives great massages. Also Meghan's coming. Yay.

I've had drum corps dreams for the past, like, six nights. It's insane.

So yeah... Have fun while I'm away.

Yes I'm on a break. Til Friday. Then it's back to practice. And thank god we have a break. It's been, like, over 100 degrees at MARS (our practice site). So yeah. I've been dying and getting a hell of a tan.

Anyways...TOUR!!! OMG! So much fun! Despite the humidty, the cochroaches, and the lack of sleep. Oh, and the random gun shots. At least they went in time with our music. We lost to the Academy as expected. Damn them Arizona kids! *shakes fist* Oh well. We're catching up to their last score (They had 84 and we have an 81. Second in the nation right here!) so that's good. Our drum major wants us to beat their last score so we can be first and that would be tight.

So I hung out with Meghan on the bus and after the shows. I flirted with her since she really didn't mind me doing it. Though there was the timpani player named Jeff who flirted with her too, but I don't think she really liked him. Then again she told me that he annoyed her, so yeah. I also flirted with Racheal a bit. Just not that much. Also I realized that she likes smacking peoples asses. She did that one time and I was just like, "WTF???" And she was just like, "What?" Yeah.

Disneyland was fun. I was the only one who said I was going to hang out with Meghan and actually did it. So I got to push her around the whole day. Even when her friend from Drum Major Camp, Jake, came, I still pushed her around cause he didn't seem that mature to me so I didn't really trust him. I actually did let him take her at one point, but regretted it since he almost crashed her into people. After that, I drove her. I didn't get to do all I wanted to do, but what was I expecting? I got to go on the new Pirate ride though. That was cool! I bought Meghan a little crystal rose from the glass shop. She loved it and I was able to give her a kiss on the hand. Go me.

NNY!!! I currently have no plans, so call me and we'll plan something!

Yeah, ummm... Not much else on the Drum Corps stuff. I went to Meghan's house and slept over last Friday. Twas fun. I've realized that I prefer British shows over American shows. And for some reason I'm not surprised.

I miss Racheal.

Yesterday I went to EC to hang out with people. It was so much fun! And BART was free! We could've totally gone to SF, but we didn't cause we were going to see a movie and we had to wait for people as well. We went clothes shopping. I saw a dress that I really want now. Yes a dress. It looked really good on me. There was also a skirt there, but we couldn't find a shirt to match so it made me sad. I'm gonig back there eventually to buy them both. Hopefully they'll both be on sale by then.

So it was me and my friends Charlotte and Sally. At first I really wasn't into the whole shopping thing because I'm not much of a shopper. Once Sally left for her SAT prep thing. Charlotte and I walked around. Then I suggested we go walk around the campus. So we went to Strada to get Italian Sodas which were good, though mine could've had more flavoring. Anyways, so we walked around and we found a mini-football that we threw at each other. Once Sally came back, I got into the whole shopping thing so I tried stuff on and it was fun. I also found a really cute pair of pants, but they were really long. Then my friend Izzy came and I was like, "OMG!!! IZZY!!!" We haven't seen each other in so long. I think in almost half a year. So it was really cool. We went to Mel's (or whatever it's called now) and had food. Then we went to go see "Prarie Home Companion". I though it was good. Some scences could've been shortened, but all in all, I liked it.

So yes. Fun day.

Also: If you want to come see one of my shows, please tell me now so I can plan! I only have few more shows til I leave for the mid-west, so please hurry! Thank you!

Squee!! Tour starts tomorrow!! It's going to be mucho fun!!! I can't wait!! Meghan's going too! Sadly I won't be on her bus (damn it Fran!), but she's still coming! I'm happy!! Disneyland will be a blast!

Oh yeah and today's my B-day!! Sweet 16, yo! Nyah! I'm old!

So these past few weeks have been extremely tiring. My energy is really low, yet somehow I keep going to BDB practice. I don't know how I'm doing it. I think it's because of the people. Yeah. That sounds about right. I keep injuring my hand when snapping my horn down. And only in one part of the show too. WTF? Also my leg/ ankle is starting wear out. Today I found a slightly lopsided patch of ground as I was backing up and I almost fell because my ankle twisted one way then the other. Oh well. At least it's not as bad as some of my friends.

I met a new colorguard girl. Her name's Racheal. She's really cute. She calls me Emmi. I don't know how she got that name, but she did. Oh well.

Reminder to self : Never get involved with other people's love problems.

So Fran likes Joe. Joe likes Fran. They cuddle and flirt. Fran is waiting for Joe to ask her out (she's traditional). Joe won't ask her out because he thinks he's not good enough for her and he thinks that he just wants someone just to have someone, not for a relationship. I tell Fran this because she wants to know why he hasn't asked yet. She breaks down. Joe talks to her. I have no idea what went on. Next thing I know, they're cuddling again. And I don't get to sit next to Meghan because Fran wants to be on the same fucking bus as Joe.

La dee fucking da!

So I don't get one of my b-day wishes because Fran's a fucking spoiled brat at times. It made me cry and slightly depressed. But I will get to see her, so I guess it's not all that bad, right? I've got to be optamistic. I'm lucky enough she gets to come on tour. I'm also kind of mad at Joe for saying she's not a part of the corps. It's not like she quit because she wanted to! She'd still be in if it wasn't for the fact that her foot got messed up! That wasn't her fault! Some people can be so insensitive.

The Blue Devils "B" from Concord, CA vs. The Academy from Tuscan (or something liek that), Az. Who will win?

Hell I don't know. Though the Academy is whipping our score by 7 points. Yeah. I don't think we have a chance...

Blah Blah Blah... Yeah i have to go to bed. Night all. Much love!

No seriously, it burns. I got so sunburned on my back. It hurts to have a shirt on. Right now I'm wearing my bikini top and a tank top to cover that. Arggg... I should've re-applied after the 3rd hour of being out in the sun. Stupid...

Happy Birthday Joe! *FYI Not actually his B-day*

Anyways. Today was the recording for the Blue Devils soundtrack. It went by really quickly compared to last year. Twas fun also. The recording guy liked us a lot. Before we left he said, "Let's all hurry up so those musicians who think they're better than you can record." It made me happy to hear him say that.

Artichokes make you bleed.

Fran and I wrestled with each other on Saturday. I got a few cuts on my leg and a nice bruise on my shoulder. Anyways. She forfited, but me, being the instigator, shoved her a bit after she sat down. So she was like, "You're going down!" and she tackled my legs and I fell. Hard. I blacked out and forgot where I was. It was scary. She freaked out after she realized what she did. She was all like, "I'm so sorry!" for the rest of the day. It amused me.

Never sweep with a broom while on the trampoline.

Meagan came by after practice today. We talked for a bit. I asked her whether she was going to Disneyland or not and she said she wasn't sure. So I told her to call me if she wasn't and I'd buy her something down in Disneyland for her. She said ok and thanks. It made me happy. I'm such a flirt. I also told Fran I'd buy her something down there. Hm...

Driving around in the middle of the night while looking for a Starbucks while listening to music from an MP3 player that can't blast music is fun.

Yeah... My shoulder is fire too... and a bit of my neck... damn it!

A long survey jacked from Sally... )

Yay boredom.

The weekend was fun. I love Blue Devils a lot. I talked to my crush a little bit during the weekend and surprisingly, we don't kill each other just because we're in totally different sections and we make fun of each other. I feel so bad for her though 'cause her ankle fucked up and one of the percussion instructors had the nerve to bitch at her. I really hate that guy sometimes.

The colorguard girls amuse me to no end.

Drill is fun so far, but I end up near the 50 at the end of the opener so I'm really exposed. I don't like being exposed.

It rained a lot on Sunday so I was really cold after practice. They also let us out an hour ealry because it was raining so hard. It was insane. I was being blinded by sunscreen.

I love our show so much.

To Sally: Get on AIM! Need to discuss oekaki plan with you!!

Why am I not surprised that Ryan would be the sexy-looking one? Or that Jake would spend the most time with the weapons?

Anyways... I just got back from practice. It sucked, but not too badly. I totally kicked Garett's(sp?)(a colorguard friend of mine) ass when he tried to wrestle with me. My friend Michael (another horn player who I'm housing) took pictures of us fighting that came out looking really dirty... Yeah... I'm just glad the video actually looked like we were fighting.

So yeah...not much else... Oh! I found out the chick I liked was straight. Go figure. I swear... I should just get a sex change just so that way I could go for the straight girls since I obviously prefer them.

Not as lazy as Jeff though! Ha!

In the most recent news: I've deleted my MySpace! Finally! My soul has been returned to me! And Jeff is more than likely going to kill me, but oh well. It makes me happy.

Blue Devils was so much fun on Sunday. Painful, but fun. I'm getting better at marching which is great. I'm also getting better at posture which is also great. I miss Erica and Andrew. They were great fun.

Saturday was awesome. I hung out with Kelsey, Jessica, Mikey, David, and Amber. Twas much fun. And I realized that I am blind. At least in crowded places. I couldn't find Kelsey, Mikey, and Jessica in Red Brick because they were sitting down behind a lot of people therefore making it immpossible to see them. Thankfully Jessica stood up or Mikey would've scared me and that wouldn't have been fun. There was also a really cute cashier in Albertsons... Damn me and that fucking straight guy in my head. I need to tie him down and make him not straight!

And damn that cheerleader for being my spanish T.A. and being so damn beautiful! Arg!
