^ That kinda happens to me, only not as bad. I'm naturally a person who can just sit and watch, so I don't notice when they don't talk to me as much. But it is pretty bad if you talk to them and they ignore you.

My ex bf has been spreading rumors about me again.
This time, the rumor is that I'm dating a freshman. haha. Number one: I'm definitely dating someone else. Number two: dude, if you're going to spread rumors about me, at least get the gender of the person I'm dating right. Number three: and forgive my bluntness, but just because we never got far in our relationship does not mean you can go ruining my other relationships.
I'm sick of the 2 am text messages. I'm sick of the cat calling. I'm sick of people in the band coming up to me "so, [chris] says you're dating [eric], ew why?"
No you silly people. I am NOT dating Eric. Why would I date Eric if 1. Like I said, definitely dating someone else, 2. I don't do guys. Sorry. 3. Eric, has a girlfriend. Why would he date me?
I know I shouldn't let this bother me so much, but I'm inches away from just kicking this guy in the nuts (again).

There is one person in the trombone section that is going to give me an ulcer. He's part of FCA but is an egotistical cowardice prick. WOW. Just WOW.  |

Ughhhh. Work just keeps getting worse and worse. There's this one guy that has made everyone miserable that just needs to LEAVE. And yesterday, the two vice presidents of the company and all these higher-ups came in and lectured us FOREVER. I'm tired of being expected to behave like a full-time, serious salesperson while being paid like a trainee McDonald's worker!! All I want is some extra money...I don't want to be pressured into selling people things they don't need! I can't do that...it's not my personality. That one stupid person and the overall annoying atmosphere are pissing me off. I've finally decided to quit at the end of September or October, but I need a new job...

All I want is some extra money...I don't want to be pressured into selling people things they don't need! I can't do that...it's not my personality. I hear ya there, dumb major. I don't take multivitamins myself, so how in the heck am I going to force people to take multivitamins to pay my paycheck? (Though people should take multivitamins... they are kind of a necessity.) But, if you're low on cash, it's something you can skip (or jut buy Wal-Mart vitamins) - not according to my employers.  That's not my personality either. People tell me that I am incredibly persuasive, but I don't like to try to push people into doing things they don't want to (which is funny - I am persuasive, but also completely not a risk taker). Good luck with your job. I hope you can find one that better suits your personality that you can still earn decent money from!  |

my clavicle is popping.
Not my shoulder but the actual clavicle.
That isn't supposed to happen. Shouldn't be physically possible.
Apparently I have arthritis in that area and I've torn a couple ligaments loose.
and it hurts like hell.

 Ninja Baker, I am so sorry to hear that! That's just awful. Ouch. Seriously. What does your doctor recommend you should do about it? |

Not practice so hard. He told me to take it easy for a while and ice it every night.
Eventually it should repair a little bit, but it'll always be weak.
and I do have arthritis. makes me feel really old.
minor pain relieving medicines make it fell a bit better.

argh! I seriously don't think I can be the (functioning) section leader for our drumline! the 1st snare was gone this whole week on vacation, so I had to step in and be section leader, and most of the time, it was horrible. mostly owing to a senior who thinks he's always right, but also because sometimes I lose my concentration and the whole line (and sometimes the whole band) suffers for it. I know I'm second snare for a reason: the 1st snare is amazing, and pretty much unbeatable. he pwns. but I think it's also because I can't really lead a section that actually involves so much active leadership. I've definitely made a valiant attempt this past week, that's for sure, but I know some people (especially the seniors) don't really have any respect for me because I'm not mainly a percussionist. which they have a right to that, because honestly, I don't belong at the top of the section. I just don't have the experience that's neccessary. sure, I have the marching part down, but the percussion part I don't. and that's still not mentioning the senior that assumes he's right no matter what you say, just because he's 1st quad and a senior. every single day we've been getting in the same argument about marking time! he says that while my side of the line and I are marking time that we're moving backwards, when they're really moving forward. and I have plenty of good reasons as to why I know I'm right: the trumpet player standing next to me says I'm not moving, I've been finding things to line up to on the ground (such as a hole that my left foot always steps in, etc), and have stayed there while marking time while he moves up. the freshman next to me also knows I'm NOT MOVING but this kid pulls the "I'm a senior so I'm always right no matter what you say" attitude. it got to to the point that I couldn't take it anymore and went to our bd. (which our bd did end up talking to him, which did make things a little better... minus this stupid problem) and now, this kid thinks that he's right because our bd told my side of the line (which is the right side of the line, btw. last time I checked, you're supposed to guide right, whether the person is right or wrong) to move up to where he was... but it was because we didn't march out far enough, not because we moved back! and then when we're marching for Huron Fight Song, he's always a step or two ahead, and every time I yell at my line to line up, he doesn't ever think he needs to do anything. we've had to go back and do it again probably 10 times because our bd will stand in the middle of the line and see him hit the yardline on 3 instead of 4. how many times has our bd sent us back because I (and everyone else that actually listens to me) hit the line on the wrong count? maybe once, because I made a mistake. and of course, somehow, he's right and I'm wrong. it got to the point that today I refused to yell at our line to line up because I knew that no one but the freshmen snares would listen to me, and I might as well let them look like crap, because then at least our bd would tell him that he's wrong. which kinda worked, until our dl instructor came up and told me I have to yell at them whether they listen or not. that was fun. (not really)
anyways. I'm just really happy this is all over now, because next time we have marching band the 1st snare will be back!

Ughhhhh! Today was the second worst day of work ever (the first being May 9, heh)! All of the higher ups in corporate keep coming by so we have to scramble like mad to make the store perfect for them and then I of course have to work the day they come in which is even more pressure and lots of lecturing. It was particularly bad today because for some reason we were INSANELY busy. We had to train two new employees and it seems like all the customers needed the things that take the longest-- registering for lessons, renting an instrument, etc. At the same time, we had to rearrange four 6 foot tall displays of instrument starter packs, unpack over 10 boxes of instrument starter packs and stack them, set up 7 cello stands (which actually takes a while) and take cellos out of their cases to set on them, unpack some guitars to hang on the wall, and I don't even know what else. No one really helped me tonight which made everything so much more frustrating. We didn't even get to TODAY'S delivery, which we always get done the day it comes in. The back room is a HUGE mess right now and we still have so much to do tomorrow morning before the higher-ups come in it's insane. Of course I'm working then too. But on the flip side, we somehow did about $12,000 in instrument sales today? |

my zero hour starts at 6:23am, or at least sometime in the 6:20's! I don't even get out of bed until 6:30, really! oh crap!
...that's okay though. I brought it upon myself. I just felt like bemoaning my situation.

I'm going to die, there's no way around it. I was insane for taking my schedule, simple as that. I can't balance AP Gov, Lit and Inquiry Seminarall in the first two blocks, I can't!
Inquiry Seminar- I'm in over my head, I can't even get through the first reading
AP Lit- I was up till Midnight finishing that stupid project
AP Gov- I have a Convention, a mock-(democratic in a republican county) primary convention and We the People Competition and I'm stuck with my bf's buddy who I currently want to strangle (the buddy not my bf)
Spanish IV- Missing every other class and will most likely fail but need it for college
Marching Band- We won't even have uniforms for the first 2 games and I had to instruct the section on seniority today (isn't common sense that seniors get the seats where the oldest sit?)
French Horn- I think I'm going to drop it, I have no time to learn a new instrument
My Horse- I'm hopefully leasing an Arab this year and I want to start showing again rephrase that I need horse-me time or I WILL need to go back to the shrink
Work- I'm as of now the only student coordinator (the only guy they can promote ... well he's always late, its a fact of life) and they keep scheduling my every Saturday and Sunday and I can't do that.
... and somewhere in there I have to fit in time for my boyfriend (as cruel as that sounds but he knows he comes after the horse, school and church)
I don't know what will do me in first, my schedule or my BD when I tell him I can't do French Horn I can see it now "I'm really really sorry Mr B but I can't do French Horn, I overloaded myself this year out of sheer stupidity and..." *falls dead* yup can totally see it

1. School starts tomorrow. And, last year was probably my worst year of school ever. I was a freshman and now I hate high school. And now I have to go into another friggin year of it and with my luck it's probably going to suck too. I have lunch with only 2 people I know and they're a couple so I don't know how awkward it would be to sit with them or if they even WANT me to sit with them. And I haven't found a friend yet that's in one of my classes except for band. I DON'T want to go back to school. I needed summer and the summer wasn't long enough.
2. I'm friends with some of the biggest hypocrits ever. Which sucks. They were mad at me and my friend for seperating ourselves from the group. Like literally MAD. And then today I had everyone over to my house and they went and seperated themselves from the group! That just plain pisses me off!
3. When people I'm close to...like my best friends...when they are sad or mad or something I feel that way too. Like I feel the same as I would feel if I was actually them. Is that weird?!?!
4. I HATE MANUVERABILITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*grumbles profanities*
Edit: More..
5. My band director is making us do full dress on friday. Can you say heat stroke much?
6. My stupid high school changed the stupid scheduel and it will take too much time to explain it all but it sucks especially since it will involve me running across the school all day to get to my classes on time.

It's really hard for me to remain positive about life when my knees are acting up. This isn't just "ow this hurts," this is full blown "my knee is on f-ing fire." It was so bad last night that I just broke down crying. This is the person they call the Nazi *****. I'm not a softy. I was bawling my eyes out because I could just feel it spreading down my calf and up to my hip. And this is not when I'm doing anything physical, this is when I'm trying to sleep, with no weight on my knees at all.
I'm so fed up with my knees. You have no idea.
