So a girl at my school is getting tested for swine flu... If she has it, school will be closed for a week, they may or may not cancel prom (on May 9), graduation would have to be postponed... UGGGH I really hope she doesn't have it.

^That would be horrible. I can't believe how many things for high school were canceled all around Texas this weekend because of the flu.
What's ironic is that there have been more deaths from the ordinary flu then cases of swing flu in Texas in the same time span.

^Exactly. I think that if a person has the swine flu, they should just stay home like they would if they had the regular flu. People are freaking out too much.

So my horn isn't in yet. God I love the boondocks. However, I did find a bass trombone, which I'm going to drop off along with my still-current horn tomorrow and see about getting a leak fixed so I can play it.
Also, I'm a Link Crew leader. The Link Crew do all the freshmen activities at my school, and their interviews are borderline hazing. I personally just had to sit on the floor (there was a chair in the middle of the group of interviewers, but if you sat in it they said to sit on the floor) and had a projector light shined in my eyes the whole time. Other people had that, plus had to dance, or serenade someone, or do push-ups (this was Boner1, who also decided to sit in the chair despite what they said), or crawl out the door. Actually, the guy who had to crawl out the door got shoved in a closet in the home ec room, and then let out to a bunch of "you came out of the closet" jokes, then made to sit on the floor, then crawl out of the room. Yeah, I wonder what they'll do to me now that I'm in.

KATIE HAS SWING FLU ERRBODY *sigh* That's what I get for being on the forums when getting ready for a dance. (And no I do not have the flu, I don't even have a cold, for the first time in forever_

My group made a 95 on our project I was talking about. I think two of you joined? It really helped, I played it off in class like I didn't know who you were and I got some laughs. Thanks!

Yeah, I wonder what they'll do to me now that I'm in. Strictly speaking, that's not just borderline hazing, that is hazing. You might want to report that to someone. In other news, my suitemate is seriously starting to freak me out. He's been on this philosophical bent recently, and I think it's gotten out of hand. He's just spent the last 20 minutes explaining to me his theories of how aliens created the universe, that time is a logarithmic spiral of light and darkness, that he can't sleep at night unless he's surrounded by light to keep the evil/aliens away, and apparently that I'm the God of Astronomy (or, at least he's offered to make me the God of Astronomy). Also something about the having the right person to rule the world and Hitler being sent from Hell, which is in the future (or possibly the past, I'm having trouble following him) . So, yeah. It's a bit disconcerting. I'm not sure how safe it is to sleep here. Definitely locking my door, and also inquiring with the girlfriend if I can spend some time over at her place.

^I have a friend who's extremely metaphysical. I wouldn't worry too much about him; he'll figure it out eventually. Word of advice; if he starts picking up phones before they ring, or finding parking spaces without looking, that's probably a good sign. Can't really explain why, but it is.
As for the hazing, it's the school counselor running it, and I honestly think that it's probably fine. I'm as against hazing as the next guy, but our school is pretty far down the slippery slope of being PC about everything, and I think that a little weight on the other side of scale is probably okay. If there had been other incidents of hazing, that would be one thing, but I don't think this is bad; it's nothing compared to what some bands do.

I'm home in just a few hours shy of a week! Spacermase: Do you know if he is on this bend of his own mind or has he had "help" by way of substances? We had a guy for a few weeks in my gov class in high school who sounds similar (first day he was regaling us with tales of how he fend his fish "with [his] eyeballs") and was on Lord knows what. I guess you could feel flattered he wants to make you a deity in his personal universe? Agh, I watched "Swing Kids" and now have "Mie Dir Mist Du Schuen" stuck in my head. For the longest time I always thought it was "My dear Mr. Shane" which totally made sense in my head until my boyfriend started singing it to me (very distracting when he switches from Lindy to a rather bluesy style and back again)
