Today was good until the last run-through.
The first time we attempted the second tune, I don't know what happened. I thought I was good in tempo, but apparently I was 2 counts behind in my solo. So I'm really upset after that because he yells at me and we have to do it again.
That seems really nice and fuzzy when I consider what happened next. So after the second tune, we have a scatter into the drum break. I have to go from the 50 to the 20 in 28. In order to do this, I have to dodge a mass horde of trumpet players going from the 40ish yardline to backfield. Well, a trumpet player cut me off.
I folded on my right knee. It doesn't hurt that bad because my mellophone hit the ground first. My BRAND NEW mello. I pretty much destroyed the bell. I didn't realize that until AFTER we finished the run-through and I was carried off and then I saw it. I think a part of me just died.

^ *hugs*
So, this is pretty social, but the guy I like was telling me about his girl problems and was asking my advice. Luckily, this was over our band forum's private messaging. I nearly snapped and told him that I liked him, but I knew that I shouldn't, just because it might've hurt him.
...Gah, I feel so depressed about it. Knowing that you're crush likes someone else, and is going to you for advice. Agh, it's tough...

stickshifty, someting sorta similar to that happened to one of our contra players last week. We were having rehearsal before our competition, and he was running late. He was jogging to the parking lot where we practice, and he tripped on the curb while carrying his brand new contra. The bell got sooo dented, and he dislocated his knee....
Moral of the story: Don't be late to band practice...

This guy who I have a really weird relationship with (sort of friends, been really close to being more, more than once) leads me on, ignores me, unofficially and unspokenly forms this little elite group with two other drumline members, spends every moment possible with them, doesn't say one word to me ALL DAY yesterday throughout two competitions unless i say something first, then when I'm just about giving up and obviously unhappy towards the end of the night, has the cajones to ask if I'm alright because "I seem tight". I'm so done.

I feel...horrible. Ok, so Homecoming dance was Saturday night and of course me and my girlfriend went together. Anyway, we ended up being mostly alone (in terms of being with people we know) the whole evening. So this one girl who is my friend and one of my gf's best friends asked us what happened at HC, meaning more on "Ooh, really?" gossipy type of question. But she found it awkward to ask us while we were both there, so we agreed she'd ask my gf then my gf would tell me what she asked. Well, she tells my gf, then tells her not to tell me. Well, this irritates me very much. Because the one girl left (it was the end of the day but me and my gf had marching brand practice) and my gf was like "i dont think i should tell you, she said she doesnt want me to." well this really bugged me because they said they would and I felt i had a right to know what questions were being asked of my relationship with someone. but she wouldn't tell me. And we went to practice, she still wouldnt tell. Then all went home and I IMed her. We talked for 2 hours about it. This is where the problem occured. It turned into a sort of fight. Like a fight where both sides feel they've been given the short end of the stick or whatever you wanna call it. And she was really torn whether to tell me or not. And this went on for awhile. And then she just came out and told me and I found out that while doing so and all this happening, I had made her cry. the instant i found out i just felt like pure crap. I felt horrible, so horrible that I almost cried myself (and yes, i am man enough to admit that). we tried talking it out and she said it shouldnt mess up our relationship (which is why she said she finally told me, to prevent that). but i think i did, and i feel awful. i mean, i did feel i was being treated unfairly, but i've never fought with a girl, and my girlfriend no less!! In my book, making someone cry is like the worst thing i could do (other than physical injury) and i just can't believe i actually let that happen. I'm sorry that this is probably more of a rant than something that belongs here, but I really feel terrible about what happened and it's also added to my anxiety, which is something that i cannot have happen with current events the way they are (this being skool work, family life, etc). Just too many things making my life miserable right now... Sorry for the long rant, by the way.

^ dude, i'll just tell you from here on out. high school relationships are the worst type of relationships ever. it's basically because of the timing really. you are both at an age where you really don't get anything yet, and to top it off, soon you'll have college stuff to worry about. that's sort of what happened to me, but what can we do? not much really...

So here is the epic tale of what happened to me today:
Let me begin with Flute Choir:
So I'm setting up the stands for flute choir with my friend Laura and I look down and see that I have blood on my hand and face. I run to the bathroom and discover that I somehow gave myself a glorified paper cut. So I get a bandaid and put it on. There's just one problem: I play an open holed flute. It's hard to cover the hole all the way with a bandaid on. So I try to borrow a plug fo that key. My friend Lonnie's plug was too big so I tried my friend Brittany's plug. I pop it out of her flute and it proceeds to fall on the floor and roll away. Meanwhile, our professor is lecturing us about not coming on time or being tuned by the time she comes in. After looking like a weirdo for about five minutes, I finally find the plug on the floor. Then, when I went to play the bass flute, the foot joint was stuck and the professor had to fix it for me and then I couldn't play it becuase the bass flute is a piece of CRAP.
I continue this story with Wind Ensemble. Before we started, the clarinet player who sits next to me was talking to the band director at his seat and I was setting up my stand. Well our stands are so close that I proceeded to knock all of his music to the floor and it spectacularly spread all over the floor.
Then, after I ate dinner, the lock on my bike would NOT open no matter HOW MANY TIMES I put in the RIGHT combination! So my bike is currently stuck at the student center all by itself.
Here's the grand finale:
I left my wallet at the music building!!! In a practice room that requires an ID to get in lies my wallet, which also holds my dorm key. So I had to have the RA let me into my room at midnight and now I have to go to the music building tomorrow morning to get my wallet before someone steals it.
*sigh* it's been one of those days...

The other day at work I had to write someone up, even though I've been a coordinator for over a year, this was the first time. I had a really hard time with it and my cooworkers (the ones that wanted ths girl PEPped) were really unsupportive. And now I have to work with this girl again on Saturday and I'm sure now she hates me even tohough I was only doing my job and my supervisor (department manager) even cosigned. Hopefully one of the guys will be put in back with her- since there's a reason after three months she's still not allowed up front- and I won't be...
