*tags greenepony* You're it. Don't blame me. altoclarinets started it. There are snow drivfts 3 feet high in my back yard. Of course the huge snowstorm comes Saturday morning rather than Sunday night! But there're only two days of school this week, so I guess I can't really complain.... Hey, the prof who's directing conference honor band this year taught in Australia for 25 years. He kept calling sixteenth notes semi-quavers and quarter notes crotchets. Hah. Crotchets. haha! dont you love austalians? especially their accents! all-state tryouts in 4 weeks *yikes*

All-state here has try-outs in like February or March or April... I think it's March. Gah, I'm not even sure I'm trying out and those words send shivers down my spine... body's aching all the time...
Ooh, ooh! Bonus points for bringing Bohemian Rhapsody into the RVT!

*tags oscar* I gave up on that... skirt-thing. Even if I got the waistband to lay correctly, the stupid skirt didn't swish at all and puffed out in the back making it look like I had a bumroll. I think I'm making it into a pillow now, if I don't burn it first. no come to north carolina, we're the best. Says he who is going to school in Texas next year.

^Usually I'd agree, however it's pretty much expected that girls wear skirts to swing dance, especially at the one place we go for live band once a month. And my boyfriend thinks I looks cute in them and I like when he compliments me.

^ I'd better stay away from swing dance places. Skirts + me = utter chaos. Think... thermonuclear explosive kind of chaos. Well if your man likes them, then you should wear them! on occasion, so he doesn't get use to it and let up on the compliments. *cue evil laugh*

The nice thing about wearing skirts to swing is that it's expected that you wear shorts underneath. And no one's that bad in a skirt, you may think so but how much trouble can one skirt really cause?

well... when you add in the fact that I am obviously not the kind of skirt wearing type of girl in the fact that I'm slowly becoming androgynous to the point of insanity. and then theres the sociological and psychological distress of being placed in a skirt-wearing situation. *shrug* Utter chaos ensues. ect ect.
I'm not sure that shorts would help the situation because...I dislike wearing shorts that aren't basketball style or cargo.
See my dilemma?

Hmm, that is a problem. I usually hate skirt-wearing situations too, pretty much any situation that I'm not in comfortable loose jeans and a slouchy teeshirt. However, it gets awfully hot dancing in slacks (as I did for ALX), I'm not sure how guys do it, guess that's a question for spacermase.

No kidding about the slacks. I dressed up to go to a club once. By the end of the night, I'd ditched my dress shirt in favor of the tank top underneath, and those slacks were awful. They're not half bad for formal dance situations though.
