Note: If you don't watch Naruto, you probably won't get it.
SasuSaku can NEVER EVER happen. Sasuke is am egotistical jerk who can't make up his mind to save his life. Sakura deserves better! SakuraxLee, however...awesome, adorable couple. No offense to SasuSaku fans, but I'm telling you it just won't work. NaruHina, on the other hand, was a match made in heaven. They belong together! If only Naruto wasn't so blind. I get the fact that they really wouldn't be able to be together because that would make the Hyuuga bloodline impure, but I don't care! NaruHina forever!!!!
(If anyone wishes to discuss their favorite Naruto pairings, feel free to message me).

Our second BD this year sent in the applications for our All State auditions. But, he never told me when the audition was. I've asked our newest director, and he didn't even answer, so I emailed the board in charge of it, and finally got an email back informing me that my audition is in about a week. Freak out time has started again. D=

One of my best friends is a theater kid. [well 2,but not the point] She is in a one act play called The Runner Stumples, which,in short, is about a nun falling in love with a priest. She plays the nun. The boy that's playing the priest is a senior whose dateing a sophmore.[like us] The girlfriend is so rude to my best friend!@ She'll show up to watch their practice and aparently makes gaging gestures and other really rude things. They kiss in the play,but don't even touch lip-to-cheek. When the girfriend is at practice,my best friend can't even consentrate with all her dirty looks. Rude [beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeps] make me mad!

Ok. Dorm people didn't think things through very much. They are shutting the dorms down at 5:00 Friday. There is one slight problem. I am in pep band. There is a gymnastics meet that I have to play at that starts at 7:30. By the time it ends, it will probably be around 9:30 or 10:00. I live a little over 200 miles from campus. So I have to find somewhere to stay, which basically means finding a hotel since a lot of people are heading home because of Spring Break. I don't know why the dorm people can't just wait until sometime Saturday to give people who have obligations and long trips a chance to crash at the dorms for Friday night.

Sorry to hijack the topic again, but yeah. Drumline.
So we're FINALLY starting to learn our closer (we've only been performing 2/3 of our show). So, first today, us cymbals were out practicing, and when they started group practicing, they didn't tell us. It took an hour for an instructor to realize we weren't there (only because he wanted to teach us some new visuals). We only got about 5 minutes to rehearse with the group before we went down to learn drill in the cafeteria.
Now, we have to put all the tables up, sweep, pull out the floor, and stretch. And then we got yelled at because it took more than five minutes to do all that. Then we got yelled at for not having the new drill they just printed off (because we use drill charts indoors now). So after that was sorted out, we practiced for about 40 minutes, because that's all the time we had.
But here's the thing: no one ever set right. Like, everyone would set about a step off their dot every time, and the techs wouldn't say anything (the BD doesn't come to the rehearsal site until about 10 minutes before we finish). And if I tried to tell someone that they were set wrong, they just brushed me off or told me to shut up. And the same kind of thing happens with our director. If we ask him a question like, Hey, where do we take our jackets off/where do we put them/how long is rehearsal Saturday? all he responds with is "Relevant questions only."
To every ****ing thing we ask. It's just ridiculous. And many times after we ask a question or something, he'll just sigh and tell us how he hates cymbals, and we're only in it because we needed the extra money for our electronics (which we spent 13k on this year). He treats us like crap, and the only tech that actually likes us or holds up to his word (as the techs/directors never talk really, so they always give us conflicting information and never hold up to promises) is not respected by any other section of the battery and is always high (but those two things aren't related; they just don't like him as a person).
I'm getting so sick of this entire season. Our instructor makes us look terrible by making us walk out of the audience when the host school is about to perform, because he wants us to load (though we got yelled at there because there were too many of us there). They hold us sometimes up to an hour later than we should be, so by the time we get home it's 1015 and we still have homework. And now rehearsal is every day except Wednesdays, and that's just because they work at a local corp. They still expect us to have a sectional. If it weren't for the fact that the season only has a few weeks left and that my section has some of my best friends, I would quit. The director is just a giant hypocrite about everything.
... Sorry that that was so long. I haven't gotten more than 4 hours of sleep a night for the past week or so, and with all honors/ap classes I feel like I'm on the verge of a breakdown. You have no idea how much spewing all that helped. Sorry if I bored you to death.

Kk so the band has my senior show on youtube. I was watching it for old time's sake... and noticed that some kid from another band decided to comment on it.
They criticized the way I played my solo.
I'm shaking I'm so upset. I know I shouldn't be upset. But I really am. The audacity of her to criticize us 2 years later.

^ Yeah I look back on that now and I kinda just shake my head at myself. I shouldn't have reacted that way.
Minor scales are kicking my butt atm. And my scale jury is on April 3rd. I'm going to fail. And that means I'll get a D for my lessons class....

Ugh! my grandpa's new wife put him in the hospital last night after he's gotten worse lately. His blood sugar's out of whack, his platlets too. They've been trying to figure out what's wrong with him for the past month!! They can't come up with anything!!!!!!!!!!! Is it against the law to slap a doctor because they're being idiots and the answer's probably right in front of them? ??

He has both (diabetes and skin cancer) but it's not what's causing it according to the MAYO clinics. It's contributed, but not the cause. He couldn't even talk on the phone last night he's been so stressed out and so am I. Been on verge of tears all day and I was ready to kill this kid in band who was messing with my flute. I haven't told alot of people so the people around us were making catty noises.

Okay. So I told my BD that I wanted to play oboe for concert band. I had the school oboe and everything. I had been practicing for the past 6 months, trying to get better. I asked him if I could. He said we'd talk about it later. Last week, he called me into his office and asked if I still had the school oboe. I said yes, obviously I hadn't done anything with it. He asked me to bring it back. When I asked him why, this moronic flute player that was standing there the WHOLE FRIGGIN TIME said that SHE was switching to oboe. And, on that note, this flute player has attempted to play pretty much anything you can think of. AND SHE SUCKS AT ALL OF THEM!!!! SHE CAN BARELY PLAY FLUTE HALFWAY DECENTLY!!!!!!!! So I told the BD that I would bring it back asap. What else could I do? It really hurt my feelings that he didn't even talk to me about it like he said he would.

^ It could be that you're too valuable where you are to switch to oboe.

ok, i am unbelievably annoyed at my best friend, let's call her jane. she and i tried out for winterguard together, and we both got in. now she says she has no time (she's also a dancer) and she quit winterguard. this makes me mad for two reasons, 1: the only reason i joined was to hang out with her, im not very good, and im a flute player, not a guard girl. and 2: she and i have been planning on doing marching band together (we're both flutes) this summer, and she said she would quit dance, but now im worried she'll flake out on that too.....
