yes I did go to winter formal on saturday and I had an awesome time.
Byron and I went to get our pictures taken at school and then went to Amanda West's house for dinner. We ate, took pictures, Amanda and Dale played music and then we waited.... and waited.......... and waited. Our limo was an hour late because they tried to squeeze in another customer before us and then hit traffic on the way to Amandas house. It was terrible planning on the limo companys part..... so we got $100 taken off of our bill. I still wich that we could have gotten there earlier though.
The dance was so much fun. It was at the Yorba Linda center. There were like 5 different rooms; main dance room (dark and people freaking) with a DJ, a swing room with a live swing band, group pictures room, resting room with a guy doing caricatures, and a room with stuff like DDR and pool. oh an an outside area. Apparently there were free carriage rides, I didnt know about this until today. Oh well. It all went so fast, I couldn't believe it. Except for the part where I was curling my hair, that took forever. :]

ouch it hurts to type cus I bruised my finger tip today in guard (sabre can be so hurtfull sometimes) Yay!!! no guard wednesday or friday! Im so happy, I hate lugging that flagbag around back and forth to school.
I have Megans party to look foreward to on friday after finals whoohoo!!! dance party
So..... speaking of dance, winter formal is comming up. I got my dress already, its red and black and goes just past my knees. I would prefer to not wear heels, but i already have a pair of heels, maybe I'll get shorter ones. Byron is going to book the limo tonight. He got an amazing price on a mercedes benz stretch limo that seats 10. The guy he talked to used to be in marching band at mission, and we all know that your in the club if you've ever been in marching band. They talked and the guy made huge acceptions for us. They usually dont let their drivers out past 2pm! wow ok, but we got 7:30 to 3:30 (minimum 8 hour rental) This is exciting. Everyone in our group is........ Me, Byron, Amanda West, Dale, Amanda Coats, Brian, Lauren, Cameron, Michelle, and Doug. I just hope that guard doesnt go for very long. I know that drumline gets out at 5. thats why were all going to Amandas house for a potluck dinner thing and pictures (so we can still hang out while she finished getting ready)
ah! I have been distracted once again by livejournal and the spinning vortex called The Internet. I must get back to studying for finals!
little side note: in the mood thing, Im not really high I just thought the little picture of a star smoking was funny

im actually studying - Music:Sex and Candy-Marcy Playground
why am I acting like this? I've never been down for no apparent reason. Is it just a part of life? Will I get through it? What will happen if I dont? I really hope Im like this just because of the enormous amount of shit I need to do. The problem is.... I cant bring myself to work for at least 5 minutes straight. Im always getting distracted or start thinking of other things and it just makes this stuff longer and tougher than it should be.
Things aren't really looking up. I dont want to go into details about what they are because Im already thinking about them I dont want to write them down. I can pretty much cry on que, and I havent had a real smile in I dont know how long.
once again.... people tell me that something is different or weird about me. ok... I know that something is weird and then they'll ask "whats wrong" and I say "I dunno" ... dont think that I just dont want to tell you whats wrong, believe me if I knew what the problem was I would most likely tell you.
why is it that when everyone else is giddy and happy Im the one down in the dumps? Why do I have to be like that? cant I ever be normal? whats wrong with me?
- Mood:
crushed
I've been depressed or something lately, and I dont know why. People have been telling me that I have been acting different and Im not the same or something. It really bugs me because I have no idea what is bothering me I just know that something is.
It could be guard, or finals comming up, or this chem project im working on all alone and havent even started yet. Chem is loading me down with work, im nervous about the french final and I dont want to think about school right now. For about the past week I havent been able to sleep well at all. For instance today is the one day of the three day weekend I have to sleep in and I was awake at 8. How screwed up is that? I used to sleep until 10 sometimes 11 if I didnt have to get up to do something. Also, Jen and Don randomly decided to throw a weapon line final at us. Great thats just one more thing I have to worry about. I completely suck at sabre, i dont have any time on my own to practice at home.... and Jen went off about this whole thing of how she was the bussiest person with a kid and in fantasia and school she was like "so dont tell me you dont have time to practice, because if anyone didnt have time to practice it was me"
I want everything to go back to normal. How it was about a month ago. I can see that something is bothering me..... I just want to know what the hell it is.
- Mood: depressed
so its the first day back to school from brake. big whoop.... *blank stare* So anyways, over the break was pretty fun. I did something almost everyday and totally forgot about homework until sunday so I didnt stress about that.... until yesterday. Today was... average I guess. I have homework in every class (which I probably should be doing now) and my arms and legs are bruised up from all day practices friday and saturday. I havent slept in the past 5 nights and finally realized that its because I had a cup of hot chocolate before bed and there is caffine in chocolate. yeah I feel stupid. nobody seems happy at all, everyone in guard (including me) is complaining about aching bruised bodies and even my teachers dont want to be at school.
sometimes I feel like i just want to crawl up in a little ball under my bed covers and stay in all day... I wish I could do that without stressing about stuff that I have to do. It really sucks that I stress about stuff too much..... its just gonna give me wrinkles and grey hairs when Im older.
what is the world comming to?.....

Anyways...... this weekends competition was fun. the practice beforehand wasnt though. Well, thats normal. We got a 77.95 but didnt get auxilary :[ ah well. I fell like I did ok. the bus ride was fun. I brought my speakers and we listened to music almost the whole time, the bateries ran out about halfway there.... but were fine on the way back. Amanda said Im like the guard bus DJ now. Baha.... yeah sure, that'll kill my ears (i got new speakers and their really loud) We were ahead of schedule which is totally out of the ordinary. So we got back, waited to be dismissed and then I went to bed. yay

i really didnt want to do freakin yoga today, and surprisingly..... we didnt yay! Miss Johnson WAY overdose the whole yoga thing. we have a 2 hour practice and usually an hour and a half of that is yoga, and then we 'flutter' for dance stuff. but today was good becasue we were outside spinning, working on the work for tomorrows assembly. its way better than last year (flashback..... high pitch voice 'willy wonka, willy wonka...." ahh) this years work isn't cheesy, its our show work from the push till the end, with a few alterations for accents and such.
well that was the just of my day.....
P.S. i really feel like watching Peter Pan (i wonder why) hint: thats the homecomming song..... :]

gloomy - Music:peter pan song
last weekend was our last free weekend before our 7 straight weeks of band competitions. and on thursday we have practice then an hour for dinner and to get ready and be on the field at 6. so basicly im going to be at school ALL DAY tomorrow. ugh!
well i like wednesdays now, because there is no practice :] and today is the start of ABS (area bible study) so im excited for that, but its every wednesday.... another thing to take away from my free time. ah well.
today at lunch amanda and lisa were making fun of my laugh and the fact that i cant say breakfast. :[ tear-- and they call themselves my friends jk jk. and Byron wasnt there to say mean things back lol. (he went home sick today)
im excited for out first competition this weekend. even thought it is after a 9-5 practice and everyone will be exausted. but hey, i kinda think we need it. i've been hearing that a lot of people dont really know their show very well. i mean that first run through we did sucked. lol no offense to anyone because i completely messed up on the opener. but i know it now, and my work is comming along too....except for sabre, but were not performing that anytime soon.

so then i came home and watched The Ron Clark Story on TV. it was pretty good. then i went over to Byrons, they made a million egg rolls. yum.......
thats pretty much it. band camp is........ band camp. what else is there to say about that. i dont like the idea of no captains very much, because people are power hungry, but whatever.
......bye
Byron and I got there at 10 thinking that there would be a line already because he said last year there was already a line around the corner at 11. Ok so we get there and there is no line at all. There wasnt even a place for the line to form. They finally marked the place where the line should form at noon. We were the first ones in line..... for an hour. Then Ali and Teeba came, but they were in theater 1 (we were in 10) so they switched their tickets, because they wanted to sit on our blanket. lol. Then more and more people came and they all switched their tickets to theater 10. We eventally had enough to take up almost 2 rows.
So watching was so great. The Cavaliers won then BD in second. 7 of us went to Claim Jumpers for dinner after. It was at almost 10. We were in the theater for 6 hours, with a 15min break.
I had a great time, next year it will be in California. So that would be close enought to actually go to it :]
TODAY.....
I went to lunch with Byron and his parents at The Clubhouse. It was really nice.... and extreemly tasty. We want to see if we can go there for dinner before winter formal this year. After lunch we walked around the mall for a while, then went to Byrons for about an hour then I came home... where I am now :]
[Cheryl]
Im excited for band camp!!!
well i've done a lot.
relay for life was really fun. we only had four on our team (Curlers Against Cancer) so we all did A LOT of walking and running.
Girl Scout day camp was really fun this year. i see those little girls everywhere now. like at the 4th of july booth and a few other places too.
i saw the midnight showing of pirates of the carribean. that was really fun. and i've seen it two more times. its pretty good, but not as good as the first one.
i went to sea world on saturday with lisa and amanda. i had a great time. we fed the sea lions.... baha. the darn seaguls almost got my fish right out of my hand. psh.
today at practice..... there was none. dons out of town, no dance (shes on vacation or something) and jenn has bronchitis..... i was glad because i was really tired today, so i went home and slept.
yeah thats it
[Cheryl]
after that we (as in, my family) went to my grandparents house to see them and their new puppy. he is so cute, and his name is charlie. he is a purebred but they got him cheaper because he has a floppy ear, but you cant tell under all the hair.
i got pretty depressed when i went to see them. they are both hurt and cant do much. my grandma broke her arm from lifting a box (wow, look what happens when you get old) and my grandpa has bone spurs in his right arm from banging into a wall or something. all they do now is sit around and watch tv, occasionally getting up for something here and there. well, i was still glad to see them.
after that we went to san clemente beach, my brother was lifeguarding at tower one so we went to go see him. it was really nice. hte waves were a fair size and the water was on the warmer side (well, warmer than usual)
only 5 more days of school!!!

there was a lot of talking and giving gifts and such. i got the most improved colorguard award. right after i had a conversation saying that that award is funny because its saying you sucked at the beginning and your ok now. don said he thought i wouldnt even make it on guard when i trid out, and then announced my name...... ok.
quincy got a stool. they gave harpoons, because there was a misconception among the boosters..... it wasnt a pirate show.
the programs looked pretty cool.
----------------------------------------
Friday
we got our yearbooks. there darn heavy, and all color. thats pretty exciting.....
i then went to a bonfire with the drumline (and sara). that was fun. we dug a giant hole by the water and then a tunnel. you could see throught it so people stuck there face in it and took a picture. dan got stuck for a second of two, and then water came in to his knees. then it caved in :[ and we left.
[Cheryl]
well on memorial day weekend i spent the night at lisas house because my whole family was gone. i had the option of going to las vegas, but i didnt want to. i've already been there twice this year with band. so that was pretty fun, but i cant really remember because it was 2 weeks ago.
last week i made cream puffs for french. it was the last lunchen of the year and my class was assigned the dessert duty. so i chole cream puffs because they're delicious.
last weekend was prom..... i didn't go. i could have, but i wont go into that :] (long story) so instead lisa and i went over to byrons and we hung out there for a while. i brought them cream puffs..... because i made an excessive amount.
lisas birthday was monday. yeah
i got to see taylors senior project. its huge (for a scrapbook) juanita drew a picture of me running to my moms room in ohio and taylor put it in her project. and her drawing of penny was hilarious. :] haha
the whole 6-6-06 thing was wack. lol the fire alarm kept going off, it got pretty annoying and the 100 building smelt terrible from the stink bombs. come on what kind of a senior prank is that? psh... stink bombs.
the band banquet it tomorrow night. im pretty excited for that. and then we get our yearbooks on friday. yay!
[Cheryl]
all last week was clinics for colorguard incomming freshmen. that made me so exhausted. then last weekend was a girl scout camp. now through all of this im sick, so that just makes me even more tired. blah.....
today was the last day of clinics... TRY-OUTS!!!! so that took forever. a lot of callbacks. and ice cream from penny :] then waiting around and more waiting around..... and more. finally we were called into the band room and stephens talked to us and about what he expected and stuff. then we all rushed to the door to see who made it...... and........
I MADE WEAPONS! sweet

im going to apply to many jobs for this summer. i got forms from Henrys, Juice Stop, and Toggos, i might also get one from East Coast Bagles. im not sure where i'd rather work. wichever one accepts me i guess.
Clinics are next week. Baha! and we learn the rifle try out routine too. but im going to a girl scout camp the weekend after that, so..... im taking my rifle with me to practice when i can. i really want to make weapon line, but its ok if i dont, i'll just practice all year and make it on my junior year. :] yeah..... ok.
