I think I understand mentally but it hasn't hit me emotionally that the season's really over. This was the best season I've marched anywhere in my life. I can say that without even thinking about it. This was the best season I've ever been a part of and this is the most fun I've ever had in a season and this is the closest any group I've ever ( Read more... )

College is cool. I'm a different person here. I'm much less restricted and I'm a little more free to explore my identity. The only problem is that I'm not in the school of music. I don't have a horn. I haven't practiced in almost three weeks. I'm supposed to audition on Monday, but I probably won't have a horn then. I don't know my minor scales ( Read more... )

I have now taught (or retaught depending on the sign) myself how to sign "I'm deaf, you're hearing. I don't understand. I don't have any money. I'm going. Bye." It's inspired by the hard-of-hearing/fingerspelling incident and D-PAN but mostly it's becasue I love any opportunity to learn sign even if it's basically impossible to sign properly ( Read more... )

I hate making myself out to be some spoiled little white kid from the suburbs. I don't liek people like that. I'm fairly well off, but my family's certainly not well off enough that I would get a Lexus for my birthday and have my insurance paid for by parents and not have to work at all like some people. I didn't have a job in high school but that ( Read more... )

I'm all moved in and stuff. It's weird. I also have a real paying job instead of one where I volunteer to stand for seven hours and have people not suck entirely but be somewhat annoying depending on the night. Occasionally they're flat-out intolerable. I'm never working a hockey game on St. Patrick's Day again. Bad idea. I can walk everywhere and ( Read more... )

I should so be packing instead of transcribing Freeze Ray from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. It's so fun though. I have the keyboard part and I think I have the piano for the main bit. I need to add the ornamentation in the high voice of the keyboard and the tom hits and there's something I know I'm missing but can't quite figure out. Finale ( Read more... )

Pants suck. Designers suck. Pants made for someone my size and six inches taller suck. Pants made for someone my height and siz inches skinnier suck. Pants whose waists sit nearly at my crotch suck. Completely pointless and impractical pockets are just flat out stupid. Shopping in general sucks ( Read more... )

Not that I'm not glad that I don't have to unload the truck after a two to four hour drive on a full charter bus back home, but I wish people would stop being so ignorant. Having 50+ people unload a Penske truck is stupid. I agree. However, send home the people who are standing around doing nothing. Guard has always gone home. Good. Brass should go ( Read more... )

I had a strange dream last night. There were a bunch of people and a special girl we were supposed to protect, though the people we were against wouldn't hurt her. She was a little older than me and she had long, blonde hair and she was French, I think. I'm pretty sure she was based off a character from a comic strip I've recently started reading. ( Read more... )

I always want a better connection with people. That issue has improved over time. I know it comes almost entirely from me and my perceptions and a lot of it comes from how I see myself because that is a huge part of how I think others percieve me which in turn affects my perception of our relationship. I still feel it. I always expect great ( Read more... )
