It's way late and I'm on a bit of sugar and I'm kinda hyper and stupid in that way that only staying up really late/having not much sleep and doing exhausting things (like getting five hours of sleep and then going to a competition for ten hours not counting bus rides and then getting home at two in the morning. That was actually really fun and it' ( Read more... )

The jazz concert Thursday was freaking awesome. My band was okay. We weren't great but no one had huge screw ups, except Jack, our co-bass player, who fell off the riser when he sat down. It was hilarious. He fell and while he's laying down says "I'm okay" then stands up and gets back up. It was so funny. The upper band was really good. The senior ( Read more... )

Andrew Thomas Lester Gillman (ATLG, called Atlanta, Georgia (where he was born) or Atlanta Gaslight (my favorite one, his initals are the ticker symbol for them.) by my mother and my sisters) was born 3:24 am 05-05-05. Time for school.

So little baby half borther sometime tonight or tomorrow. Dad's jokingly hoping for 5:05:05 (hour/min./sec.) of 05-05-05. Highly unlikely, but would be a fun story if it was real. He's probably not coming to my jazz concert tomorrow which sucks because my next concert, with the symphonic band, he's not coming to because Robin's orchestra concert is ( Read more... )

I feel like crap. I am tired. I have a headache. All I can hear is my typing and little kids screaming every few seconds, and in a few minutes I'll probably listen to Whiskey Lullaby. I finished the lit EOCT today. Tomorrow and Thursday I have to take the geometry EOCT which shouldn't be too hard and Monday and Tuesday I have to take the biology ( Read more... )

Talked to Mandy for a few minutes. She said that yes she is bi. She didn't want me to know. She seemed to have negative feelings about being bi. I don't whether it's that she doesn't like being bi or if she's afraid of what people will think/say/do or if it's because her Mom is afraid of what kids will think/say/do or whether her Mom doesn't like ( Read more... )

Got home not even half an hour ago. I went to see the results of the jazz bands auditions because Chang had a sign that said "Jazz auditions will be posted by the end of the day" So I went and he didn't have them up. I and about six other people (Jared Gangone Schniederman Mitch Shadow Whitley), were waiting for him to type it up. Mitch never saw ( Read more... )

By the way, I had jazz the audition today. I know I made it in but I really screwed up... a lot. I made it in but I'm defnitely in the bottom band, but I doubt I'll be allowed to play all 3rd parts anymore. (We choose what we want to play. I always choose third or fourth.) I'd still like to know why Mandy never told me. *sigh* I'm tired and I need ( Read more... )

I am completely confused. I've been friends with Mandy since sixth grade (almost four school years now.) She didn't make any comments on GLBTTQ(and whatever else has been added now) people/Queers/GSA in middle school. She said two things this past year. She knew that Maria and I were in GSA and she asked "Are you and Maria gay?" and from the way ( Read more... )

What do you do when you have no confidence in your playing ability and despise auditions of any sort? I have to turn in a tape for concert band for chair placements next year and I have to do a LIVE AUDITION for jazz band tuesday or wednesday (tuesday since GSA is wednesday) and I've tried practicing. I've been upstairs practicing with Mom for the ( Read more... )
