100 cellos

i forgot to mention one flamazing thing happening in my life. it's cello-tastic. last friday, i had a lunchtime meeting with a couple of the cellists in my section at school and a really awesome lady whose name escapes me, but will return to my brain one day. so for now i will call her cello lady. anyway, cello lady is organizing a concert for next march, and it is going to be almost completely cellos. (there's a few numbers where a drumset or piano or something is needed, which is why it is only almost* completely cellos.) she wants to have the big ensamble comprise of one hundred cellos! i get to be part of that. she's also having several smaller ensembles perform, and i get to be in one of those too! i'm so excited for this, i'm practically bursting. it's going to be an amazing experience, and i'll get to meet other cellists from all around...well, not very far away all around, but at least from all around the county area....or maybe larger...we'll see. idk how far away cello lady is going to recruit. other best part of this, it's going to be a totally professional experience, meaning i'm not paying to be there, i'm there on my own merits. AH!!!!! SO EXCITING!!!!!! I MIGHT EXPLODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (can't you tell how excited i am? it's pretty obvious by my overuse of exclaimaition points and capital letters.) anyway, that's the news for today. my new "inspiring" thought: "laughing gives you abs. rock hard abs."

Sometimes...I blog instead of homework...

so, school is getting to that point in the year where testing is all we can do. the standardized tests are absolutely pointless. the state feels like they have to test, so they wast money on it. they should use that money to go towards not firing teachers. then, there's the ACT, which, by the way, scores were just posted, and i improved my composite score by a point, and still don't know how i did on the writing portion yet. and, finally, there's AP testing. *sigh* i just spent an hour filling out my information on a form so i can test. bleh! so pretty much, it's time to crack down and study. as i realize this, i realize that i haven't posted on my blog for a weekish. so instead of studying, i decided to write here. :D funny story of the day. i have a friend who shall heretofore be known as the giant peach. i stole the giant peach's keys during second period, and forgot to give them back. so I, making this a big deal, search frantically for the giant peach during lunch so i can make sure he gets his keys back. and i find him. and he's calm. and i made it way to big of a deal. the giant peach was planning on just getting the keys back after school at the AP form filling out meeting. yeah, so i kinda forgot that the giant peach would be there. then i felt bad for forgetting, but frustrated that it wasn't a big deal like i had thought it was. me. over reacting. yep. oh, another funny story about the giant peach, he was the one who took me to prom last year. and he didn't get me pictures until prom this year. (i didn't go, just fyi, i watched a play instead.) it was pretty great. only it was early in the morning. yeah. yay for the giant peach getting me pictures in a very "timely" manner. :P well, in conclusion, i would like to leave you with an "inspiring" thought; "satan wants you to think it's too late to put down the cookie, but it's not. put it down and don't eat it!" (quote by older than me one.)

Return to BLOG!

so one day, i was spending a couple minutes on facebook, and i saw somebody say something about "read my mom's blog" and thought, hey, i have one of those. it's been a long time since i've seen it. what was the web address again? i found it! and i'm rather sad that i've not posted anything for a long time. i decided it was time. updates....i'm one year older and wiser too! now my friends can stop telling me that everyone's all growing up except for me, cuz it's happening to me too! life's about to get really ridiculous. with AP tests and CRTs and FINALS (it felt like it needed caps too) coming up, there's a lot of information to cram into my brain. sometimes i wonder if my brain only has a certain carrying capacity and stuff starts getting booted out with the new information coming in. i hope i'm not losing my childhood memories! that would be unexpressably sad. i'm really excited about something my friend (said candy adventure friend from last post in november....we'll call her ady, short for adventury) and i are working on. ady plays the piano pretty well, and she created an arrangement of a beautiful primary song, "If The Savior Stood Beside Me," and she needed a cellist to complete it. it's really pretty, and really fun, and i'm super excited. it's pretty much the greatest thing ever! we're both so excited about it that we're planning to perform it in my "early morning religion class" and her "middle of the day religion class" (if you catch my drift :P). i don't know why i speak in code here, it's just fun! also, i got contacts. my eyes are getting pretty used to them, but they're itchy still. they get less and less itchy all the time, but they're still itchy. wanna hear a secret? i read four books this weekend, just because i wanted to. i probably should have slept more instead, but i haven't read a book just for the fun of it in a really long time, and i wanted to. so i spent my weekend on that even though i should have been doing other things. wow, i'm a little bit random and sporadic in my post here. i'll stop before i get too random. expect more soon (hopefully)!!!! oh, but one last thing, a story i'd like to share; once upon a time, my friend fatsuit and i (it's not a fat joke, it's because we were going to both be wearing fatsuits in a play together, but it didn't work out) were creating tape people to be playing a cello/viola duet on display in the orchestra room, and right now, one of the bodies is mostly made, but it has not shoulders arms or head, and it's sitting in my cello locker. when i came back to school this morning after the weekend i forgot about it, and i opened my locker to put my cello in and screamed when i saw it. it scared me so bad, and at first i thought it was a person. it was freaky! the end. goodbye.
