11:40 am	the end of a good thing is always bittersweet "and maybe, just maybe, you'll realize why you're here..." and i have realized why i joined this amazing program. it's really not about the awards that are hung on the wall, even though you wish for that superior the whole time in the stands. these awards are not the memories you hold on to forever--it's the ones about hanging out with 125 people who absolutely love the same thing as you. it's the ones about the 116 degree days in July that you just wanted to die. the ones about the california trip and the bus rides over playing mafia and lauging so hard your insides hurt. the ones about the intense rehearsal at cali, and the spaghetti factory afterward. the ones about the day at disneyland--convincing people to ride space mountain, riding splash mountain and freezing your butt off, and walking forever to see the fireworks finally. the ones about the march-a-thons that were 8 hours of pure sweat and dirt covering you. the ones about the rehearsals where you set everything down to run laps, came back and wished you had shut your mouth in the first place. the ones about that "one time at band camp" where you first realized what this whole experience might be like. the ones about the first time you laid eyes on this music and thought "how am i ever going to memorize this?!" the ones about the sectionals where you talked with 14 of your closest friends for an hour. the ones about after every show, singing your heart out because you want to remember for others. the ones about crying and hugging old and new friends after the brass played. the ones about the last season for the seniors you grew to love and cherish. the ones about that feeling when you marched off that field--knowing you put your heart, soul, and sweat out there for everyone. it doesn't seem like this should be the end...  such an abrupt cutoff to something we've worked so long and hard for...but i guess that's how all good things end.  thank you to everyone who made my first real year in this band absolutely amazing; i couldn't have asked for a better group of people to see every morning at 5:45. Let's hope I might finally figure out  this whole picture-posting thing...hmm...  When i finally do, I'll post, like 350293842 pictures.  Until then, someone please help me!

7:27 pm	thoughts race through my mind &you're at the center... Something is wrong with the sum of us That I can’t seem to erase How can I be the only one Without a smile on my face Well now, you’re laughing out loud At just the thought of being alive And I was wondering Could I just be you tonight You show your pain like it really hurts And I can’t even start to feel mine Well, I’m standing in place With my head first and I shake, I shake I see your progress stretched out for miles and miles You’re laughing out loud At just the thought of being alive, yeah And I was wondering Could I just be you tonight This is the sound that I make These are the words I chose Somehow the right thing to say Just won’t come out Just won’t come out And you’re laughing out loud At the thought of being alive And I was wondering Could I just be you tonight And I was wondering Could I just be you tonight Current Mood: confused (Comment on this)

2:06 pm	&every word you never said echoes down that empty hallway my calves hurt yesterday...but it was worth it. we were awesome and the COMPANY FRONT was spectacular! (= we know how we did--i know i felt some personal validation from a great performance. the next step is just stepping it up for cali. 22 hours with some of my most favorite people. NAU BOA was one of the best days ever. Staying home alone on a Friday Flat on the floor looking back On old love Or lack thereof After all the crushes are faded And all my wishful thinking was wrong I'm jaded I hate it I'm tired of being alone So hurry up and get here So tired of being alone So hurry up and get here --john mayer Current Mood: contemplative Current Music: "Love Song for No One" -- John Mayer (1 Comment |Comment on this)

5:29 pm	okay... it's been a rough week and... now i am officially upset.  i'll be getting up on my pedestal now, so brace yourselves. joe actually does hate me, which i didn't think was true.  obviously i was right that joe has changed--since the last time i talked to him, he actually wanted to talk to me...hmmm. nicole really hates me, which i figured must have been true. obviously joe doesn't appreciate my "picture taking".  like all of the scrapbooks i've made.  thanks for that one. joe doesn't need to diss nicole goodwin like that.  OR ME. i know that nicole gets plenty in exchange for all she does--but she doesn't do anything for me anymore, which is inconsiderate.  joe says that she calls people for him, except i didn't even know he was here.  i guess i should be glad that i didn't know joe was here.  he doesn't care anyway. i'm really glad to know that i got annoying to nicole and joe.  and that joe DID NOT WANT TO SEE ME.  he admitted that, so now i'm really upset.  it's great to know that he has more fun without me. if you don't like me, fine.  tell it to my face.  or call me or something.  don't just post it on the internet like this.  it makes me upset.  now i'm to the point of tears and it's a horrible feeling. maybe if he wants to stop "lj fighting" he should GIVE ME A CALL.  just maybe once in oh, 4 years. i'm glad that joe and nicole will go live happily together.  have fun without me.  i know you already do. </3 Current Mood: crushed--everyone hates me Current Music: The 2005 Marching Show (12 Comments |Comment on this)

4:33 pm	i love how while joe was here, nobody bothered or wanted or cared to tell me. that was nice. god, i feel so out of the loop anymore. none of the people that were my friends ever care to talk to me anymore. this is not fun. well, i'm sick now and not feeling so great anyway about the whole joe being here thing, so i think i'll just go finish some homework and read a little. thanks to all of you who do care. i love you more than words could express. <3 </3 ughhhh.

9:50 am	all of my thoughts today is my mom's birthday. i packed for band camp all day yesterday. finished my dot book yesterday, and didn't have to call anyone because i didn't get confused. :o) (which means i probably screwed the whole entire thing up so bad beyond repair. but i tried. ehhhhh...) i can't believe next week we'll be getting ready to go to school the next day. how did this summer get away from me so quickly?? it's not like i didn't do ANYTHING, but i still wish i could have gotten a little more done...you know? i also had a really great conversation with nicole goodwin over AIM. we talked about friends. and how some of them just seemed to dissolve over the year(s). i felt really left out after one of my friends was visiting and i didn't even know about it. :o( that wasn't fun at all. but, thanks to nicole for making me feel a little better. i think i might make a special appearance at nicole's party to give her her birthday/disneyland present and card. but then i'm coming home for some last-minute packing and stuff and my mommy's birthday. =) that's it for now i guess Current Mood: hopeful Current Music: nothing---until tomorrow...

8:56 pm	Reflecting This entry will probably be edited about a million times, but I want to keep adding things to it as they come to me...   THINGS I WANT TO SAY ABOUT FRESHMAN YEAR I have realized who my real friends are.  They aren't the ones you just talk to sometimes.   Not the ones you see every once in a while.  They are, however, the ones that make an attempt to talk to you.  They are the ones that have stuck by you.  They leave an impression on you.  They care about you, genuinely care about you.  They never ignore you when you need them.  They care about you and your life.  They console you when you need it, and I've needed it this year. I have realized that I need to chill out a little bit.  Getting good grades as I have done this year can be done--but in a simpler way.  I don't need to stress out as much. I have realized that mistakes I make can be fixed later.  I don't need to worry about petty things. I have realized that sometimes, people just won't like me.  No matter what I do, say, or feel, some people just aren't going to find me funny, nice, etc.  There's almost nothing that I can do about it--I have no control over other people's choices. I have realized that I need to learn to speak up.  Some people are opinionated--and that's fine.  When they cross the line where their opinions/beliefs offend me, I need to tell them.  Letting people step on me like that isn't okay for my self-esteem, etc.  They can have their own opinions without rubbing me the wrong way (too much). I have realized that High School isn't like I thought it would be.  Possibly because of Hollywood's spin on things, I just never saw DV as being how it is.  I can't say it isn't difficult sometimes, but I don't see it as preparation for college yet.  The work we have hasn't gotten harder than it was last year (for the most part) and sometimes that frightens me!!! I have realized that I miss some of my teachers last year.  Thayer was awesome, although some anger management sessions would not have been so bad on some days.  Mrs. Paul really did care about us--even if she didn't always show it.  Wilbur was a good teacher and I want to have him for math now!!  I miss Mr. Norris in band, but sometimes it is a little bit of relief.  I have realized that I will miss teachers from this year.  Thye will be there next year, so no worries there.  Mrs. Price (although a little on the, ahem, left sometimes) will absolutely be missed.  The humor she could bring without getting off topic is often rare.  What can I say about DIBBLE?!?!  Awesome.  The best.  It tears me up inside to know that he has to leave teaching, which, deep down, he really does love.  Even if he is going to throw us over the balcony, blow us up, or put us in meat-grinders, he loves each of us and appreciates the things we do for him.  Many good times in that class. MORE LATER WOW THIS IS LONG ENOUGH!!!  I'll spare you of my monotony now and the dullness will end.   Comment if you agree/disagree with anything.  Or if you want to talk.  Or if you want to say anything else.  Whatever.
