ITS STUDY FOR SCIENCE TIME. which means, TIME TO BLOG.

Reasons why I hate Nick Stonnington

• He doesn't know who the Beatles are. Come on. And when we played some of them for him he said "They're not that good." Jeff said "COME ON YOU DON'T KNOW JOHN LENNON?!" Nick responded "You mean Jay Leno?" oh dear.
  
• HE ALWAYS BLAMED ME AND MATT FOR THE MISTAKES HE MADE AND WHEN WE CORRECTED HIM HE BLAMED IT ON US. ugh.
  
• Because of the above reason, HE NEVER IMPROVES ON THE MISTAKES HE HAS MADE. Okay, we got "Don't Know Why" like two months ago. When we FIRST read it, he didn't hold a note long enough so i said "Hey, remember to play that note longer than you think." He said "Oh, well you didn't hold it either." I argued and finally got him to say he'd practice it. Today was our last concert. The last time we played it at 5th grade orientation, about two months after he got it. HE STILL HASN'T GOTTEN IT RIGHT. And Matt and I have corrected him and corrected him and corrected him. Oy Vey.
  
• Once again, he doesn't know who the beatles are, and doesn't like them.
  

MOVING ON. Today was the Awards Concert. Food was nummy. We played, I failed improv, nothing special. I won the directors award. I can't be 100% happy with winning though. I felt that others deserved it more than I did.

GOLDSTEIN HASN'T BEEN HERE IN A WHILE. YAHOOOO.


11 days.

Stolen

Okay. So, I'm stealing Lindsay's idea about the bullet points. Take that.

Moosik.

• GREEN DAY ALBUM. 21st CENTURY BREAKDOWN. A-MAZE-ING. Best songs: Murder City, 21 Guns, ¿Viva La Gloria? (Little Girl), ¡Viva La Gloria! Not as good as some of their old albums, but its good enough to tie with American Idiot. iloveyougreenday.
  
• Choir Concert Tomorrow. Me going? Iunno, I want to cause they're singing all you need is love. I don't know if i can. ONLY TIME WILL TELL
  

Televsion.

• EYE-DOHL. finale. i missed it due to homework, so now i'm watching it right now. So far I've seen Adam's Mad World and His second one (iunno what it was called) and Kris's Ain't No Sunshine. I say so far they are tied. Mad world was very OKAY but Kris's was FREAKING AMAZING. Have I ever mentioned how much I want Kris's guitar? Well I want it. So, anyone thinking birthday gifts...that guitar would be nice. Second Kris song was pretty good. So far they are completely tied. Adam's third preformance. I really really liked it. Prolly gonna download it later. No offense Adam, but in Mad World, what was up with that coat. Reminded me of Neo's coat in Matrix. Kris was really good too. Pretty fair finale. I'm sure Adam's winning for popular vote, but preformance wise, pretty equal. Don't mock me. I really like Carrie Underwood's song for the like leaving song for Idol. Its so sad. Makes me very nostalgic feeling. Remdins me most of when allison left. so sad. EW TATIANNA.
  
• GLEE ON TONIGHT! Looking Foward to it. Lauren Gottlieb (no idea on spelling), a former SYTYCD contestant is on it. She was one of my favorites. Very excited.
• OH MY GOD SO MANY COMMERCIALS DURING IDOL. omg allison was in the audience for it. aww miss her. watching it now. wow, their cheer uniforms look like our schools. HAHA "you think this is hard? try being water boarded" Sad but funny. The kinda creeper guy in teh blue shirt in the teachers lounge hitting on the red head looks a little like eden's dad. OMG THE PRINCIPAL WAS IN CHUCK. HE PLAYED PEYMAN ALAHI THE "WOOKIE"
  
• CHUCK. RENEWED. THIRD. SEASON. SIGNED. 13. MORE. EPISODES.
  WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! ASD;LFKNASIFNEOWANSDF. you have no idea how glad I am. NERD HERD PREVAILS. AND KUNG FU.
  

Bookies.

• Finished Candle in the Wind. I thouroughly enjoyed it. It was really sad, but really good. A TEENY bit predictable, but all in all I was completely 100% satisfied in the end. Really really really liked it. Goes on my list of top 20 books probably. Only two books i have EVER read for school have made it there: This and The Cay.
  
• I HAVE FOUND THE BOOK THEIF. WIN
• John Green. New Book. Very Excited. Hank Green. Writing book. Equally as Excited.
  

The Net.

• Nat Tran. Very funny.
• John Green. Loved the question tuesday vid.
  
• Loved the new phillinthecircle video. really intersting.
  

ABOUT ALL I CAN THINK OF NOW. bai.

somuchhappenedtodaywellnotreally,butigotalottosharesincelastblog.

otay. last blog was a WHILE back. as in like. a week ago. haha. not much exciting stuff happened that i have to share, so be prepared for boredom.

• MANDAAA TURNED 14 THIS MONDAY. WOOO. that was important. she got hugs. hoorah?
• KIRSTIE MADE IT TO FINALS FOR ORATORICALS YAYAYAYAY. alfred did no NONONONO. alyssa made it HELL NONONONO.
  
• MOHTER'S DAY WAS THIS SUNDAY. i got a little drunk off of champagne. the fam bam and i (ma, pa, cousin, aunt, uncle) went to the ath (its at caltech) for brunch. happiness ensued. amazing food. i ate like 2345724 crab legs. BTW I LEARNDED SOMETHING. do not try oysters. taste like what you expect AKA what aquarium touch tanks smell like. in a bad way. which goes on to say, uncle paul said that he might be able to get me an internship at monterey bay aquarium. :D while i was drunk, i said something wrong on accident and laughed untill i cried. tears streaming down face. then we went home and i CREAMED aunt, mother, and cousin at scatteragories. yes. bow down.
  
• started candle in the wind. good book so far. really sad. WHY ARE ALL THE BOOKS WE READ IN SCHOOL SO DEPRESSING. LIKE. HOUSE ON MANGO STREET, THE CAY, THE CLAY MARBLE, CALL OF THE WILD (kind of sad, mostly violent), ANNE FRANK, AND NOW THIS. wutever. most of them were pretty okay.
  
• TOOK LAST HISTORY TEST FROM THE BOOK OTHER THAN THE FINAL TODAY. really easy. no more notes. except for epilogue. ugh. stupidstupidstupidstupid.
  
• RANT ON STAR TESTING: okay, we had star testing last week. rant is about how much time they give. okay. its in parts. part one, then break for 15 min, then do part two, then go on to your classes. it starts at 8. it ends at 12:15. THATS LIKE 4 HOURS TO FINISH LIKE 60 QUESTIONS THAT FIRST GRADERS COULD ANSWER. >_< why is there no minimum day. its not like wer're retarded or anything.
  
• CARVER CARNI. we played. i actually got acknowledged for playing a solo. :D kinda fun.
  
• TRUMPET LESSON SUCCESS. thank you kirstie shih porter for making me practice. mr. bing said it was the best he's heard me play ever. now that's what i call some major progress.
  
• SATURDAY: MANDA'S PARTAYY. gonna be movie marathon sleepover tastic mania. it will ALLEVIATE this boring week. parties act as ANTIDOTES to boredom. that is good parties. it might---cross that, WILL probably be a BEDLAM but thats not bad. every day with trail mix is a bedlam.
  
• i tried to cajole my dad to let me have a unicycle. sadly, he said no. rats. if only my speaking were more GLIB, then maybe he'd say yes.
  
• i pantsed manda yesterday. coach mirales gave me an INCESSANT lecture on how its sexual harassment and that i could be suspended. he was WAY too strident. i mean its only pantsing. -_- he's obviously not very INDULGENT to teeny tiny mistakes. hey, nobody's IMMACULATE.
  
• LINDSAY. i'm wondering how your job is goind (if you've started). even though you only earn a PITTANCE, its still decent pay. its almost as much as Chuck got ($11/hr). however, i'm sure those horses have a PUNGENT smell. fun. but your VEHEMENCE for horses might make you ignore the smell.
  
• Well, now i'm a bit HAGGARD from lack of sleep and i long to LOLL in my bed and doze off.
  
• OH BTW DANNY!! D: i rue the fact that he got kicked off, but i saw it comming. we all love joo.
  

so thats about it.
GA'NITE.

p.s. be amazed by my use of wordly wise words. mrs. jackson just did that in class and i wanted to try. i think i might do that every time i blog.

Stress.

kirstie says that music is supposed to be a release, not a place of stress. well, what if it does stress me? what if sometimes, music makes me want to tear my hair out from my scalp? what if sometimes music makes me hate some of my closer friends? then what? should i stop? sometimes the stress is way too hard on me. makes me give in to feelings of failure. it makes me stop and consider why i am even first chair. why me? my passion for trumpet, no where near as "others" who are more deserving of the place. first chair is a degrading place to be when others deserve it more than you.

then i think about the positives. music is a good release. music is energizing. music is the only thing i'm actually slightly passionate about. nothing else. its also my ONE "talent" i LOVE music. music is my life. well. music, food, friends, fam, and homework are my life. but, without music i would be nothing.

i want to give up, but at the same time i never want to quit.

why is life so confusing?

I can see the sun.

You know what I love? the fact that at 8:00 PM today, i realized it was still sunny out. I love that feeling, cause it reminds me that summer is just around the corner. like, there are only THIRTY SIX days left of school. INCLUDING WEEKENDS. that's almost a month. summer's only in a bit over a month. camp. high school.
scary eh?

on a different note, you know the movie brother bear? everybody hates it, but i really like it. its soo sad. i just got to the part when he tells koda he killed his mother. wah. and his brother is still trying to kill him.

i haven't been keeping up with idol lately, but i hope danny doesn't leave tonight, apparently he did the worst last night. oh well.

this was a short one, but there isn't much to say. so, tah tah.

HAI.

howdy. seems like its been a while since i've last blogged a.k.a. like a day or two,

so here's how my life has been going since we've last chatted.

okay. friday was a typical friday but i went to libby's house with lauren and like biked every freaking where. we went around her block then around another block then we went to the gas station to fill up the flat bike then we biked to my house then we biked back to her house then we biked to lacey and then we biked around lacey then we biked back to her house. see. lots and lots of biking. we also pogo hopped to the gas station (there was a pogo stick, a scooter, and a flat bike on our trip to the station). laugher ensued. libby eventually gave up and rambo-ed it (ran around and pretended it was a machine gun). we also saw ilana in her car and made it so that she wouldn't notice us. she didn't. WIN. then i biked home (in the rain :D) and went to bed.
YES IT WAS AT 8 THANK YOU VERY MUCH

so pretty much it was epic. except for the fact that the pogo stick gave me the WORST BLISTERS EVER. piece of advice: if you go extreme pogo sticking (and this is only for PROGOs) wear gloves.

so that was friday. now today, i woke up around 9 and then went to galleria for grad dress. found one. not telling anyone what it looks like. only time will tell. TAKE THAT SUCKERS. and then i came home and baked some really amazing choco chip cookies. oh btdubs, at the galleria i bout that fall out boy cd with the bears on it that i have no idea how to spell or say the name. like said fole-eee ah doo. and i got some new socks. they are vans socks. they are checked and like neon. pretty freaking sweet.

OKAY IMMA GO. LATES.
