::twitches:: Sometimes it's a real effort to keep my mouth shut (or not type what I want to) but I know if I have to deal with someone it's better not to antagonize them. ahhh, god. deep breaths. what I mentioned in previous entry was most certainly a good idea.
uhm. brief update, cos I have a couple of paragraphs left in an essay.
to copy many many people--contents:
1) me being deserted
2) issues with me being forgotten again and getting homework done
3) SPRING CONCERT!!
monday was wild.
first, after school. . . wow. . . katie runs off with david every day, right after social studies, meets him at his locker, then wanders someplace with him and comes back to her locker a little later. this has inconvenienced me in the past, because sometimes I need to know who's going to bring home what books when I'm at my locker, but I asked Katie about it and we discuss it beforehand and that was ok. But yesterday. . . yesterday Katie ran off with David, and I went to my locker. Then I went down to the music wing to wait for her to come back down. And waited. And started to take a nap. And read American Gods. HALF AN HOUR LATER David comes by to say that Katie sent him to tell me that she's doing "grunt work" (David's phrase, not Katie's I think) for Phoenix (our "literary" newspaper--poems, basically, that David is involved with but Katie is not) and that she probably won't be back for a long time. After I sat there, all alone in the music wing, for a full half hour. She completely forgot about me. What did she possibly think I could have been doing? Would have been doing? Did she care? NO! Apparently she thought of me but was "busy" trying to figure out how to scan something. So evidently I passed through her mind, but she didn't think it worth it to tell me where she was or that I could go home. And you know what? I could have gone home, after 15 minutes, 20 minutes. And it crossed my mind, that maybe she's not going to show up. But I decided to stay, because what if she did show up and I wasn't there? I thought she'd be worried about me, or maybe go looking for me. Notice that Katie knew exactly where to send David to find me. Because I knew that was where she would look for me and that was where I stayed. I cannot believe she did that to me. I don't understand how she could have done that! It's incredible!
And after that came the concert. more on that later, it was amazing. But first! NO ONE TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT THE WHOLE THING. It was two minutes before they wanted to leave--no, less--it was when they wanted to leave that I first heard about when we were leaving. No one thought to tell me that we were leaving over an hour early, so I had that much less time to do my homework! No one told me jack-shit. So I say, "ok, can I at least piss and change my pad and get my shoes on?" Well, Mike wants to get there to get ready, ok, so they head on over and then go back to pick me up. I'm considerably upset because I haven't gotten anywhere near the amount of homework that I would like to done. And I have a fair bit. Imagine my surprise when I find out, on the car ride back, that the concert will last until at least 10 (it's a little past 7 at this point. concert starts at 8. I'd be laboring under the delusion that it started at 7:30. geez.). So I get very, very, very upset. In fact, I cry harder than I have in a while--I haven't had a fit like that in front of people in a while. interesting day--I also shouted at Katie for what happened, much louder than I have in a while, again. I haven't shouted in a fair bit. Anyway, even as we go back, and they know that I have a lot of homework, and I said before that I'd like to stay home as late as possible and get as much done as possible. (this was in between me finding out when we left and asking to piss. I did actually say piss because sometimes euphorisms annoy me--i like saying piss irl, it startles people. anyway.) So it is only until we've gotten into the car and are heading back to the school that my dad tells me that I could have walked over later on, or been picked up later, while Katie saved the seats (we left early so dad could get good seats.) Well, gee. thank you for telling me. Anyway, long story short, I had a small series of fits, so did my dad, we ended up compromising, then it turned out that I would stay and finish my homework (and I did, good thing too because we got home at 10:45 PM) and Katie would save the seats when my dad came and got me.
Anyway, the concert was soooo incredibly amazing. I loved it. It is possibly the best time I've had at a concert, most definitely at a school concert. Both the Chorale and the Band did Beauty and the Beast songs, which is my favorite fairy tale, and "Beauty and the Beast," the song, is one I'm particularly fond of. There were mostly good songs, although the Choir, while they sounded perfect, didn't have as many good ones. One that I really liked though, "Here I am, Lord," I believe. I'm going to have to try to download it. And the awards were all just great. like, who got them. all very very deserving--and many friends! My friend Kristen, who I've known since first grade, got one!! :D Yay! Especially cool cos she's a sophomore. And my good friend Teffi (Stephanie) who is absolutely adorable, as well as being insanely talented, got three ;) And god, are those well--deserved. She did all county and all state with flute and piccolo, and she is really good on those, and on top of it she has an outstanding voice and is in Concert Choir. O_O And she really is so pretty, which is utterly unrelated, but I love her. And she'll be graduating!! noo! Anyway, the real icing on the cake was the Arian Award for band, which was won by. . . my brother!! How cool is that?? :D He's not an officer but he's been techno-lackey for 3 years, and it's hard, thankless work ;) But really, that is just too cool. And my dad is like, euphoric over it!! :D He is always soooo proud of us when we get something like that--like, this isn't a huge big deal award, but my dad was actually crying with happiness :) So that was just too cool. (Mike is also a bass in choir, and he plays the trombone in band.)
The band in particular, they were perfect. I mean, wow. So amazing. My mouth hurt from smiling.
And choir had NYSSMA today, and they got a Gold With Distinction (highest score) and apparently the judge was like, gushing over them, and said that they were perfect, and the best ensemble she's ever heard, and I hope so, because my god. These people work damn hard!! And a fair number of them are in choir and band, both of which are very time consuming, especially if you're really devoted. I know that both Kristen and Teffi are very very into their fluting, and practice that a lot, but M (choir teacher's nickname) demands a whole lot out of the choir kids, so you have to put a lot of time into that too. Just seeing that concert really made me appreciate how hard they work, and maybe be slightly more gentle towards the people who have been letting their grades slip in favor of music. (still, you should try to stay on top of these things. . . then again, I have trouble and i quit orchestra, which never took as much time because the teacher was crazy) Oh, and my dad went to watch NYSSMA, and there was one other spectator, a music student from the college, and Mike had a solo, and after it she whispered to my dad (whom she didn't know was related to Mike) and said that he was really good!! :D whoo hooo!
anyway, today was the art show which was fun, blah blah blah. Tomorrow. . . tomorrow is band NYSSMA, which really really sucks for us because it's an academons final thing as well and a lot of us are in band DX nooo! So I might (probably will have to) play! augh! ah well. uhm. so wish us luck ;)
ok. off to finish my essay and then do the last illustration on my book, and the title page and what-not, and do some multiple choice questions. ugh. good thing I've just got like, one body paragraph and my conclusion left. (I know, I shouldn't have written this entry, but I really wanted to log monday before it was too late. and now I feel better about people who drive me insane :D)
oh yes, and new icons. this one being the most bizarre! XD XD XD

Date: 2002-05-22 12:32 pm (UTC)if you have to chance, see if you can get Sandman #31, Three Septembers and a January. It's the one about Emperor Norton and it's just fantastic. Dream was challenged by his younger sisters, Desire, Despair, and Delirium, to keep a man out of their "realms" (keep him from wanting, despairing, and going mad). So Dream gave him a dream--that he was emperor. And it was just really cool and an interesting exploration of the subject and how he functioned as emperor.
