Okay, so I started this post with the title "Monday again" and my first line was "Well, it's Monday again and I did a whole lot of nothing" but then I remembered that it's Tuesday. I think I've been licking the windows of the short bus too much.
ANYWAYs, so today - Tuesday - I didn't do all that much of interest. I went to GBGM where we listened to Beethoven's Kruetzer Sonata and dissected it. Then I went to Jazz where we had Duke Ellington Day. Then I almost skipped choir but didn't. After choir, Monica and I had an interesting conversation in the parking lot about getting an apartment next year... and people we know... and parents... and other interesting things. Now I'm at home and I think that Cameron and I are going to Dollar Tuesday tonight.
Yesterday, Monday, I didn't have Aural Skills so I slept til 10 and then got up to go to Algebra at 11. Then I had my voice lesson, after which I hung out in the ER for awhile before Theory. I spent the evening over at the Fails' watching Simpsons, playing cards, etc... we made a Perkins PIE stop and then I went home.
Sunday night... Burial Chamber was boring, I worked the intro room and spent most of the night reading the only book that wasn't nailed down to the bookshelf - Death Du Jour.
Okay, now that I'm caught up, I'm going to go finish reading Death Du Jour and then do my transcriptions and study for math.

Well so far, rather boring weekend.
Friday night I ended up coming home, doing a lot of nothing all night, until Cameron called and said he couldn't do anything, and then I fell asleep waiting for Travis to call. Sorry, Travis!
Saturday I got up way earlier than should be necessary and went to Theatrix where I did some random book-keeping for Jim and then Cameron and I went out to Wendy's (oo) for lunch. He went home to throw some laundry in the wash and I went home to wait for him to call. Then he came over and we hung out until about 5:30 at which point we drove to his house (in the truck - aGh!) and he changed for work and then we went to Burial Chamber where we worked til 12:20 (UGH!). After work he drove me home and I, for some reason, was up until 1:30 a.m.
Today I slept til noon, which was nice, and was awakened by a phone call from Cameron, which was also nice. I shall most likely spend the rest of the day doing nothing until I have to go to Burial Chamber since Cameron and his boyfriends have band practice. :) Just teasing, hun!
Anyways, if anyone feels like doing something before 5 p.m., give me a call!
OR come visit me at Burial Chamber between 6 & 10 p.m.
See ya later!

I remember TGIF... those were fun TV shows.
Anyways, yesterday I went to school and took tests in both Great Books to Great Music and Jazz History (Coleman Hawkins plays banjo, right Dan?). Then, since I didn't have choir, Nichole and I went to Perkins, where Matt and Monica joined us, for lunch. I took Nichole home and went home myself until Theatrix. I picked up Nichole & Connie on my way (kind of?) and we went to Theatrix where I sat and talked with Nichole, Cameron, Travis and Mr. Hart until Travis had to leave and then Cameron, Nichole and I played cards til 8 when I had to leave. After playing chauffeur, Cameron and I hung out at my house for awhile and then we went to Valley Value where we saw S.W.A.T. with Tommy & Nichole (Good movie!). Then we went home and slept... in our own homes, not... er nevermind.
Today I woke up late, and only went to Music Theory. I may end up doing something with Travis tonight, but I don't know yet. Cameron has to play pep band for homecoming so I don't know if he and I will be doing anything either. More news later!
Adios!

so, yesterday i went to school... and it was pretty unexciting.
great books to great music - we watched Oedipus Rex the opera. it was semi-amusing because the narrator reminded me of William Shatner, and the boys all had white face paint so they blended in with the walls nicely... other than that, fairly unremarkable.
jazz history - um... we talked about a mostly-blind piano player, and two other musicians, but I can't recall their names right now.
choir - we took a field trip to some retirement home and I drove Laura and Monica and Nichole and... another girl whose name I can't recall right now... Amy? we got lost on the way but so did a bunch of people. so when we got there, we sang in a remarkably acoustically un-sound room that was about 90 degree warmer than it should've been... and then I dropped Nichole & Amy off at school, Laura and Monica at their cars and went home.
after school, we (we being Laura, Monica, Cameron and I) went to Perkins around 7:30 with the intent to leave around 9 to go see The Italian Job at cheap seats. instead, we sat at Perkins until about 11:30 p.m. discussing philosophy and faith and science and other such things. we came up with some interesting analogies for Cameron's belief system - the high & lo definition tvs analogy which also incorporated the tin foil analogy, the salt & flatware analogy, the horseback riding analogy, and i think there was another but i can't recall it.
then Cameron drove me home and we discussed some more stuff in connection to the Perkins conversation. then i said something that was mean even tho it wasn't intended to be and we decided that it was time to stop talking and go home to sleep so we did.
today i got up and went to school where i attended ear training, where we did some composition, algebra, where i did crossword puzzles and theory, where i talked with Dan & Melissa. i ate lunch with Monica and Matt and Dan and Melissa and Laura and Nichole and some girl i didn't know, so that was fun but aside from that, nothing interesting at school.
after school, i went home and got some gas money. then i went and put gas in my car and parked in the parking lot across from MHS where i read my book until Cameron got out of school. we talked for awhile and then we went to our respective homes.
now i am waiting to find something to do tonight... d&d was brought up but we don't know how realistic that suggestion it... mommy wants me to watch the Nip/Tuck marathon with her, which i might do... we shall see how it goes!
ciao!

That was our secret password today at D&D when we were magically transported (a la Alice in Wonderland) thru a mirror to another plane of existance.
Anyways, so I last posted on Friday but I didn't really post anything of interest... so I will back up to Friday and tell ya about my weekend.
Friday
Friday day was normal school day, as I recall. After school I went home where I did a lot of nothing, I think. I originally intended to go to the MHS vs NHS football game but then I got a call from Travis suggesting that we get the group together for a night of scary movies and haunted house visiting. So, after I brought Lara home from piano, I went and picked up Nichole and we went over to Travis' where we were joined by Monica and eventually Laura and Cameron and we watched Identity which was weird... but pretty good. Then, we got in my van and went over to Burial Chamber. It kinda sucked that night; no one was really in character. But that's okay. Anyways, then we went back to Travis' and Cameron and I left to go to my house for about 30-45 minutes and then he went home and I went to sleep.
Saturday
I got up at 8 a.m. because I had to go to Theatrix. So I had Theatrix from 9 to noon, with a random trip to SMC in there somewhere to open up for the Grease choreography rehearsal. Then, after I dropped Brooke off at SMC, I went home and helped clean until Cameron came over around 3. We hung out until we had to go to Burial Chamber and then we were there from 6 until about 11:45. Then we went home. I was very very sore from standing on fence posts for 4.5 hours.
Sunday
I think I slept in... but I don't really remember. Oh yeah, I slept til 10:30 and then I got up and helped clean and then Cameron came over around 12:30 and Mom's crazy knitting friends came over also. Cameron and I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade while Mom and her friends got slightly inebriated and chatted over knitting and lots of good desserts. Once we were done with the movies, Cameron and I played Sorry! and Uno and then we played Mille Bornes with Lara and Dad. Cameron went home around 10 and I went to finish up my Algebra homework (ew!).
Monday
Today I got up at 8 a.m. to help Mom take Spot, Sassy, Tuppy, Pixel and Spike into the vet. That was an adventure. I left the vet at about 20 to 10 and hightailed it over to school for Ear Training which was semi-fun for once. After that, I went to the ER to finish Algebra and learn my voice lesson music. Then at noon, I went to my voice lesson where I bombed my choir midterm and most of my voice lesson pieces... oh well. At 1, I went to Theory which is becoming more and more boring. And then from 2 until 3:15, I sat in the ER making sure my Algebra was caught up before my meeting with Prof. Oakland at 3:15 (he showed up at 3:25). Then I headed home. I did some homework and talked on the phone with Cameron for awhile. Around 5:30 I decided I needed a nap, so I went to sleep for 2 hours and was awakened by a phone call from Cameron telling me to come over and play D&D, which I did until about 10:45 and then I went home. We were really special tonight at D&D but that's okay cuz it was fun.
Well, it's time for sleep, I think...
OH! By the way, that monologue I posted yesterday wasn't meant to be a slash at ALL Christian music... just the irritating Kum Ba Ya sort of stuff. I love Michael W. Smith and Reliant K and Sonic Flood and Switchfoot and Newsboys and such, I just get irritated by some of the "God loves me, I love God, God, God, God, this has no musical merit but that's okay because it's about God" type music. LoL... Anyways, just thought I'd clear that up.
Gnyte!

That about sums up the past however-many days it's been since I posted.
Thursday, Oct 2 - Started with Cameron and I arguing in the West College Ave. Perkins parking lot (talk about "Happy Anniversary"... riiight). Then I went home and slept. I was awakened at 7:30 a.m. to drive my dad to the airport to pick up the rental car. After we got back, I finished packing and getting together all my stuff. I think my dad and I left around 9, maybe 9:30. Mom and Lara drove down separately. Anyways, so we drove down to Chicago and went to my grandmother's where I changed for the wake and then we all went to the funeral home where Lara and I pretty much sat and did homework from 2:30 to 9 p.m. After the wake, the four of us went to my godparents' house where we had yummy Chicago pizza. Then we went back to the hotel and slept.
Friday, Oct 3 - I woke up around 8 and took a shower in a shower meant for people Monica or Nichole's size (hehe). The showerhead was at about the same height as my mouth. Anyways, so I showered and got up and got dressed. Then we grabbed breakfast and went to pick up Grandma and Uncle Bud (her brother) and headed over to the funeral home. The pastor did his sermon (When I die, if my funeral service is anything resembling the sermon he read, I will come back just to kick his ass... he didn't do a particularily good, in my not-so-humble opinion.) and then my dad and I hightailed it over to the cemetary and waited 30-45 minutes til the funeral procession got there. It was pouring. But we did the little graveside dealy and then we all headed over to some banquet hall for the funeral lunch - the first banquet hall I've ever had edible food in. Afterwards, around 1, we took Grandma and Bud back to the house and Mom and I headed home. Actually, first we stopped at the Polish deli to get sausages and other yummys (yummies?), then we hit the road. After spending about 2 hours in rush hour traffic (wait a minute...), we finally actually got going. We got to Oshkosh at about 7 and did Oliver. After the show, we went to Menasha Perkins - the most interesting Perkins episode I've ever had. ("Why is that white man wearing bling-bling?" "Are you a drummer?" "That's it, get out of here, traitor!") Then I went home and slept.
Saturday, Oct 4 - Got up WAY too early to do Theatrix auditions. Stopped at Wendy's for food. Went to the Grand. Did the afternoon show (actually... I let Chelsey do the afternoon show). Ate lunch. Tried to sleep. Was awakened by irritating little children going "Wake up! Wake up!" Did the evening show. Went home. Slept. :)
Sunday, Oct 5 - Well, so far I have... gotten up, showered... that's about it. I'm gonna go grab some food now.
Byeeee!
